Our stay at Russell Court was fabulous! Our host, Andrew, was very welcoming and available should we need anything. Check in was easy and the home was absolutely lovely. Very comfortable and spacious for our party of 6 (4 adults and 2 teenagers). The kitchen had everything we needed and the fireplace made the space very cozy after our chilly days out exploring the Cotswolds. I can’t recommend Russell Court enough - we are already looking forward to a return visit.

A great property where 3 generations have enjoyed a long weekend stay. Communication from the owner was exceptional. The property has a great layout, was spotlessly clean and the history of the property offers another great element of charm. Well located near to good restaurants, shops and within easy distance of beautiful surroundings. This is a property we would love to return to and one we would highly recommend.

From the moment we arrived with a personalized greeting from the owner this property was outstanding. As described in the details, it has a large well equipped kitchen All the bedrooms have unique furnishings Property is tastefully decorated throughout in a comfortable English style. Garden is beautiful. They were even fresh figs on a tree that we were allowed to pick. The location is perfect with all the attractions of Broadway within easy walking distance, but quiet and set back from the road.

Russell court is an ideal place to stay and visit! This was our home while we road trip around the cotswolds. My partner and I stayed here with our parents and it was such a dreamy place! Andrew, was our host, he was great! The house was really clean, big, comfortable and well equipped for us, in total we were 6 adults, each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom. Is a beautiful house, we really wish we had more than the 4 days we had there. The house has an idyllic garden with fig trees, lovely ponds and charming plants that made you believe you are in a Victorian vacation. Our parents were also blown away by this place, seriously stop looking this is the place to stay in the cotswolds. Is 5min walkind distance from the town which includes a well stock supermarket and nice tasty restaurants. Thanks Andrew for being a great host!

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Dakin

Host profile image

I'm Andrew, originally from Cheshire, now retired, and I've been living in this area for the last 30 years. My partner and I bought Russell Court 8 years ago, and it has been our home since then. We recently bought Russell House next door and after a year's renovation project have moved there, making Russell Court now available as a holiday cottage.

Why they chose this property

Well, Broadway is famous as one of the most beautiful village in England, but more than that it's a great place to live, or just to visit. Within 5 minute's walk from Russell Court is Broadway's High Street, with three pubs, six restaurants, wine bar, shops selling everything from basic groceries, men's and women's fashions, florist, a gunshop, not to mention a celebrated delicatessen, hairdressers, doctor and dentist. Russell Court is in the perfect location, and has its own central part to play in the history of Broadway.

What makes this property unique

Russell Court, and the adjoining Russell House, was the centre of the Broadway Colony in the late 19th century - a group of American and British artists and writers who were the first to discover the charms of Broadway and the Cotswolds - the leading members were John Singer Sargent, whose Carnation, Lily, Lily Rose, was painted in the gardens here, Frank Millet, Edwin Austin Abbey, Henry James and Lawrence Alma-Tadema. It was this historic connection which first attracted us to the property, as we have close connections to the Boston area where many of the artists came from. We fully renovated the house, putting in all the modern amenities, so that Russell Court is both historic, but with all the modern creature comforts that make it such an ideal base from which to explore the area. There are so many things to see and do in and around Broadway that a week is hardly enough! That's why I love it so much here.
