My family didn't want to leave!
The Pond House is lovely! There was plenty of room for my family of five and my 12-year-old loved visiting with the horses. Louise brought us fresh eggs and was a joy to chat with. It was a perfect location for day trips to Bath and Oxford. Thank you for your hospitality!

The cottage has everything you want , dishwasher , washing machine , etc. lovely and quiet . The weather was perfect but there is a wood burner for chillier nights . Bed was super comfy . The host was great and even left some fresh eggs on the doorstep . Louise also told us some lovely places to visit . We shall definitely visit again

Wonderful cottage
What a find! Pond Cottage is a clean and comfortable cottage. It felt like a home from home and Louise made us feel very welcome. It was a lovely space to come home to each evening, perfect for myself, my husband and his mum. We would not hesitate to visit again or recommend it to others.

Perfect cottage in a beautiful setting.
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely cottage. Everything was perfect and Louise, our host, was so friendly and helpful. The cottage was so well equiped which we found unusual as previous cottages that we have stayed in were not so. The location is perfect for exploring the Cotswolds and we are looking forward to returning next year.

Lovely Place and Owner
Stayed 3 nights with my mum and my dog Well situated for visiting the Cotswolds Louise is such a lovely lady and was very accommodating. Large Asda 10 minutes away by car Only downside is that there are no circular dog walks straight out of the property. The nearest one is 5 minutes drive away.

Terrific stay
We were welcomed by Louise, a very friendly and helpful owner who showed us around. The property has very secure parking. It is spacious, lounge/dining is roomy as is the bedrooms. It has everthing you need, and is well situated for Cotswold touring. Cricklade itself is well worth a visit. Very happy with our stay.
