Stunning home with beautiful garden in picturesque quiet village
We had the most wonderful stay in the Chestnuts. The village is perfect and quiet. When I booked, I was a little worried about noise, being on the road with a pub across the road. But we didn’t hear a peep. So peaceful and picturesque. The house had everything we needed and more. Lovely garden to enjoy and multiple breakout lounge areas inside. Very well equipped kitchen. Fantastic tea and coffee facilities provided and high quality bathroom products. Very central to see the Cotswolds. Highly recommend!

Fantastic weekend with family
We had a fabulous stay in this well equipped house which was beautiful. As a family of 8 adults, 4 couples, there was plenty of room and space. A great pub across the road and they did excellent food. We wanted to stay longer as only there for 2 nights but would definitely return.

Too short
The stay was lovely but we only stayed for one night... The house was great. Very clean and and lovely. lots of information available about the area. lots of additional books and games for children. All very well organised. The house owners were very kind and let us stay until mid day . They were very welcoming and had a bottle of champagne waiting for us...
