Excellent Cottage for a stay

We were warmly greeted by host Mary and husband Justin. The cottage was perfect for our five day stay to unwind and to sightsee. Everything was spotlessly clean, the lounge and bed very comfortable, and all necessary utensils etc were on hand. We enjoyed a delightful celebratory dinner over the road at The Blinking Owl Pub. Would recommend the cottage to any couple wanting to stay in this area.

Lovely Cottage near the Cotswolds

My husband and I stayed at Mary‘s Cottage for 8 nights with our dog. The cottage is well established and Mary as well as her family are very hospitable. From the little village you have plenty of walking routes, which our dog and we enjoyed much. Thanks for having us and we will definitely come back soon!

Beautiful cottage in the Cotswolds

Booking was very straightforward. Very clear directions, parking right by front door. The cottage was perfect- well equipped kitchen and superb spacious sitting room. Bedroom and en-suite excellent. All very well decorated. Clearly a lot of thought and good taste had gone into it. The village itself was a delight. Wholeheartedly recommend

Beautiful spacious cottage for 2

We throughly enjoyed our holiday in the cotswolds, but coming home each day to the beautiful Herriffes Cottage was the icing on the cake! A beautifully converted cottage with so much space where every gizmo and gadget has been thought of. Mary and Justin were wonderful and on hand to help if needed but always respectful of your privacy. We spent ages trawling the Internet to find a cottage, so let me save you the bother, set in a lovely peaceful village, with friendly locals, fabulous owners and the comfiest cottage we have ever found Herrieffs Cottage has to be the one, just book it now.....you won't be disappointed!

A fortnight stay in this lovely cottage, we probably stay longer than your average guest. So a change of towels and sheets would have been nice. Parking outside the cottage or on the road is available. The cottage is quiet, warm (maybe a little too warm in the summer) especially in the bedroom. I am 5ft 4inches and the bedroom and bathroom beams in the ceiling are very low for me, so be warned if you are tall. The mattress is very soft and not for anyone with any back issues. The kitchen has all the equipment you may require, but a simple welcome pack may be nice (like milk) as the nearest shop is five miles away. The cottage information was very brief and the restaurants and pubs outdated as a number of them had closed a few years ago. A refresh of this In for some would be helpful, with some local tourist information would be a nice touch. The area is full of great places to visit, and there are some lovely walks just outside the door, so a great place to visit.

Het is een heel sfeervol huisje. Het is goed ingericht met alles wat je nodig hebt. Voor ons voldeed de begane grond zeker, maar we vonden de slaapverdieping, waar ook de badkamer is, wat minder comfortabel. Genoeg vloeroppervlak, maar door de schuine wanden met balken voelde dat iets minder ruim. Wij vonden dat een minpuntje, maar niet iedereen zal dat een bezwaar vinden. Wij hebben er verder een prettig verblijf gehad in een rustige omgeving.

Op een mooie locatie deze stijlvolle ingerichte cottage. Even zoeken waar de ingang zat maar die zit op het binnenplaatsje. Vanuit deze locatie kan je prachtige wandelingen maken. Marry en Justin zijn zeer gastvrij. Wij hebben genoten
