This is really great place for a holiday in the beautiful Cotswolds. The location is superb, with places to eat and drink, country walks all just a stroll from the front door. Short drives away are wonderful Cotswolds villages and glorious countryside.
The cottage itself is spacious and well equipped. It was very clean and comfortable and impossible to fault.

Delightful stay!
We throughly enjoyed our 10 day stay at St Mary's Cottage. The house is beautifully appointed, comfortable and warm.
The ktichen was well supplied (except you need a garlic press!) and it was great to find everything we needed to cook.
Thank you!

Exceptional Property
The cottage is absolutely wonderful. Its in a beautiful village, which is very peaceful and quiet, but only 5 minutes drive from shops and amenities.
The property was spotlessly clean and had everything anyone could need for a week away. It's very comfortable and there's plenty of space. The snug/office room was great for getting a bit of work done while away.
I'd highly recommend it and will definitely book again.

At Mary’s cottage
A lovely cottage in the picture postcard village of lower slaughter .Very well equipped with everything you need for a weeks stay furnished to a high standard with lovely comfy beds.
The village pub is a bit touristy but plenty of beautiful country pubs within a couple of miles drive all serving good food .
Great walking from the doorstep in the surrounding countryside.
Would definitely stay again

Beautiful house with all the home comforts
It was a fantastic house with all the comforts of home. The location was perfect. The beds were very comfortable.
Was quite disappointed as a super host myself that there was no welcome basket but still didn't spoil our time.
Only thing I would say , we went to make a coffee in the machine and it needed descaling so therefore could not use. Maybe just.check little things like that.
Apart from that it was wonderful

Perfect Cotswold stay
This cottage exceeded our expectations for a stay on the Cotswolds. Was in very good condition, beautifully furnished, had a large driveway and private garden. All rooms and bathrooms were great sizes for our family. The location was also right in the middle of Cotswold towns without being somewhere busy! We could walk to bourton on the water easily from here, visit the Clarkson brewery by foot and easily reach other sites within 15-30 minutes by car. If I had to make any suggestions, the only thing we found was there was no small pantry essentials that other properties often leave such as oil, butter, sugar or a small milk. Wasn’t the end of the world though! Would definitely stay again.
