Relaxing stay in a quirky cottage
We loved our stay here. The cottage has loads of quirky architectural features. It's remote enough to see the stars in the hot tub on a clear night, but has a lot of towns and villages around to drive to for days out, plus local walks which were detailed in the welcome book. We mostly stayed cocooned in the cottage as it's so warm and snug. The cottage is situated in a working horse riding stable so during the day people are coming and going in front of the cottage as they arrive and depart, so you'd want to wear a robe or something to go to and from the hot tub but once your in the enclosed garden, you can close the gate and forget about them. We really enjoyed our stay and the hosts were lovely

Quaint property
A lovely little building with added extra of hot tub which we loved.
Tricky to cook if you haven't used a rayburn before and perhaps a little dated in parts but overall we had a great stay and visited a few beautiful places.

Lovely
The cottage was great! Overall, the place was very thoughtfully furnished, and we really enjoyed our stay. We did find a number of dishes in the cabinets that hadn't been cleaned well, and we were disappointed the oven couldn't be turned up to a medium or high cooking temperature, but those were minor issues.
Perfect location for exploring the English countryside!
So much love for this rustic cottage! Caroline has created a little piece of heaven. It was the perfect location and the hot tub was an incredible extra that made a very hectic few days relaxing. Its comfortable and has everything you need. We were blessed with wonderful weather so did alot of exploring locally and not as locally~ Bath, Stonehenge, Rollright, Stow-on-Wold, Bibury. It IS rustic (read- spiders mostly up high) that took some of the arachnophobic members of the family nervous, but they never really bothered us because it is oh, so comfortable! Soft leather couches & recliners. Nice kitchen with all the necessities. Despite having owners so close we never felt like the privacy was lacking. It was the exact beginning spot to our first trip to England!

Idyllic cottage. Hot tub a big plus.
My kids loved the little cottage in particular with its hot tub, mezzanine and 3 TVs. I couldn’t figure out how to get the cover off the hot tub and no instructions in the Guest Book but the proprietor thankfully came to stop by and help us.
Great to walk the dogs too as there’s a footpath right opposite the stable yard.
Nice to see the horses walking through the yard. There are also free roaming dogs which my dogs loved, Alfie in particular was very taken by our female dog and he would wander into the cottage if he got the chance which we had to be careful of as she’s not been spayed yet. He’s a charming fellow though.
I was on the trip for business so didn’t cook at the property but my mum found the Rayburn a challenge to cook on, but there is a stove top hob provided to make it easier. The heat from the Rayburn must be so cosy in winter but we had to keep the windows open in the heat of the summer to cool us down.
Really nice touch after a long drive to have milk, orange juice and mineral water left in the fridge.
The hot tub and multi shower head shower was just what I needed after a long days work before heading home.
For kids and dogs that love other dogs it’s a great stay.

We were very impressed by the cottage, the place was cosy, the whole look of the inside was amazing. Hot tub was great we had a relaxing time, and it was a nice surprise that Caroline had added a christmas tree for us, my son had his 21st with us and told me we made memories here qnd that's what I wanted for my family.

Two young girls, a dog and lots of horses!
We had a wonderful family holiday staying at Caroline’s little cottage in Hook Norton. The hot tub was a lovely treat after a day of hiking. And my girls loved seeing all the horses and saying hello to them as we walked the dog around their lovely fields surrounding their property.
The Aga had been turned off due to the heat (understandable) and Caroline was very helpful, providing an alternative and even offering to cook our pizzas! We used the bbq in the courtyard instead so all was good!
We had a car so was able to access all the lovely villages, attractions and pubs in the area. A very pleasant stay.

Owners on-site if there are any issues and are really nice and helpful - giving info about the local area etc. Dog-friendly cottage and my dog loved his stay too! The hot tub is amazing!

A relaxing, refreshing stay in the Oxfordshire countryside
This was one of the few properties in the area that fulfilled our two main criteria - firstly it was dog-friendly & secondly, it had a hot-tub. The booking process was very straightforward & we received all the information we needed for accessing the property in good time before making our journey. Caroline, the host, is friendly, knowledgeable & welcoming. Upon arrival, she showed us around the cottage & explained some technicalities with the Rayburn stove in the kitchen. The cottage was very clean & comfortable & the hot tub was every bit the indulgent treat we had hoped for. Situated in a fabulous part of the Oxfordshire countryside, we were spoilt for choice as to where we wanted to visit during our stay. We loved this cottage & would return in a heartbeat.

Lovely little cottage that was warm, well presented, clean, ready to go and exactly what we needed for our Christmas get away. Great location to go exploring the Cotswalds. Kitchen had everything we needed for Christmas holidays. Hot tub was a great little extra though was a bit chilly getting out in the middle of winter! Great fun though and we would definitely book again.

Lovely Cottage
The cottage was lovely and clean. The hosts run horse riding sessions so there were parents, kids and horses out and about outside the cottage but that didn't bother us and we quite enjoyed watching everyone go by in the mornings.
The hot tub was lovely, worked well and was easy to work.
Check-in was a little frantic but the hosts were welcoming and friendly.
You have to to drive everywhere (there didn't seem to be any walking trails close by) but that was fine for us as we researched the area and local villages / towns, where to go etc. beforehand.
Overall a really lovely and relaxing stay.
