Herdsman's Cottage is a beautiful house that is tastefully decorated. It has a large garden and a nice seating area outside. Everything was really comfortable and high spec. The area is lovely - really convenient for the arboretum and parts of the Cotsworld Way. We had our dog and the garden was great for a run. There was also a no through lane opposite that was nice for a stroll.
We were there as a family group with mixed ages. So going forward - completing the rail in the front garden by the steps would be useful, as would a grab rail on the wall at the top of the stairs.
The emails about the booking ended up in my junk folder (not the owners fault!) and I made the error of not looking for check out instructions until after we had gone (might be worth sending everything together at the start).
I would definately stay again.
