Fabulous property for a multi-generational family get together

We could not have found a better place for a family get together. The Cosh provides everyone with their own bedroom and bathrooms, and has fantastic entertaining spaces - and we were there in the depths of January - it offers even more for the better weather months with outdoor spaces too.

Great stay

We had a wonderful stay and overall the cottage was lovely and nicely decorated. My main feedback is that we were not impressed with the cleanliness as dishes were dirty as was the kettle. There was also a lot of dust and cobwebs so the cleanliness let this cottage down.

Wonderful venue for a weekend away

We had a wonderful long weekend at the Cosh. As a group of university friends - now all in our 60s - it had everything you could possibly need - lots of space and different places to sit and catch up with friends. Dog friendly, and great location for exploring the Cotswolds. Would definitely recommend - we voted it the best place we have stayed in so far on our annual meet-up.

Weekend stay at The Cosh with friends

This was a great venue for our annual girls weekend getaway. We all loved the open plan, contemporary feel of the Cosh. It was equipped with everything we required making it both a practical choice as well as having a touch of luxury. During our stay we visited The Western Arms pub in the village for lunch which we would also recommend. Overall a great venue.

Excellent property in excellent condition. Purpose built so an absolute layout with great facilities. I would like to say it was 100% but that could lead to complacency (but I doubt that would happen) from start to finish it’s been great. Highly recommended

Seven of us used The Cosh for 5 nights for a reunion and celebration of our 70th birthdays. It was very comfortable with lots of places to sit and chat both inside and out. The beds were comfortable and whole the place was well equipped.with everything that we needed. Blockley is a pretty village with a lovely community cafe which we used on our final day.

Fantastic stay at The Cosh!

Had a wonderful weekend at The Cosh celebrating multiple birthdays. The property was fantastic, very clean and beautifully decorated. There were various seating areas both inside and out, meaning we could enjoy the sunshine throughout the day and not wake up the toddlers in the evening. The stream was a lovely addition, especially for the dogs in the hot weather! The location was great for visiting Broadway, Stow and Bourton, and we also followed a footpath into Blockley one morning (great cafe). The property had everything we could need and we’d love to revisit for the next big get together.

We stayed at the Cosh to attend a wedding in Cornwell house. The house is excellent for an extended family with ensuites in all the downstairs bedrooms. It has a large comfortable kitchen and lounges both downstairs and upstairs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found location to be excellent only four miles from Morten in marsh and close to countless attractions.

Fantastic stay

A wonderful 4 day stay for our family from 2 year olds to 88 year old. Very large and beautifully appointed this accomodation gave the WOW factor. The kitchen had everything you need had beautiful appliances and loads of room for food prep. The multiple cosy seating areas meant we never felt crowded or ontop of one another We really enjoyed the outdoor seating and the table tennis table and thd children loved the sheep and the horses. We couldn't have asked for more and will definitely be back

Reunion Holiday.

We were a group of nine persons enjoying our annual get together. The Cosh met our expectations in all regards particularly the downstairs bedrooms for those less able. Beds were very comfortable. Showers excellent. Some of us arrived slightly early and Debbie, the owner was on the premises and let us in to a very welcome cup of tea and locally baked cake. The Cosh is well situated to visit the many attractions in the Cotswolds, all within easy driving distance. We would recommend the Cosh for any larger groups visiting the area without hesitation. Online description, and photographs are accurate. We booked the property through Stay Cotswold and all information was provided in a clear and precise manner. Thanks to everyone concerned, we had a great time.
