Rural Cotswold Cottage in grounds of beautiful Nell House

The Cottage at Nell House is a beautiful oak framed conversion sleeping 4 in two bedrooms. It is located on the edge of the small and peaceful country village of Hannington in the South Cotswolds where the counties of Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire meet. The village has a "pub" within walking distance and is a great base for exploring the Cotswolds in your car. It is a 90 minute drive from Heathrow Airport.

The cottage has an open plan kitchen living area on the ground floor, with a well equipped kitchen including dishwasher and microwave, and a seating area including two sofas and large TV. There is a twin bedroom on the ground floor as well as a toilet and shower room. The entire upstairs floor is an en-suite double bedroom with separate seating area, sofa and TV. The staircase is open to the ground floor.

The cottage sits in the landscaped grounds of Nell House, with a large decking area, gas BBQ, and outdoor seating for 4. It overlooks the lake and is surrounded by wildlife such as moorhens, ducks, fish and if you're lucky deer and a kingfisher.

There are extensive grounds including a croquet lawn and fields with farm animals.

Unusually for rural areas Ultrafast Broadband of 100 Mbps++ is included making working from the cottage or streaming movies on the Smart TV very easy.

We had a wonderful stay at Nell Cottage in the Cotswolds and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. They struck the perfect balance of being chatty and approachable while also giving us the space to enjoy our stay. The accommodation was an excellent base for exploring the Cotswolds, with easy access to all the places we wanted to visit. Everything was comfortable, well-maintained, and made us feel right at home. Our little boy loved all the animals, Jo took the time to talk to him about them and even let him feed them. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely return. Thank you James & Jo for helping make our trip so memorable!

Touring South-Central England

Had a great week long stay - day tripping in all directions. Great central spot to visit both Cotswolds and Salisbury Plain! Hosts were great. We were the first guests of the season and so were the test run. No big issues. Had a great time, Jo and James were great hosts

Exactly what we were looking for for our stay in the Cotswolds. This house is situated so beautifully and perfectly we absolutely loved our one-week stay and I was very sad to leave. The kitchen was well equipped, everything was clean and fresh, The bathrooms and kitchen were modern and functioned well, and the owners are the kind of people you want to be best friends with. They gave us a list of nearby places to visit and each location was well worth it. There are animals (horses, sheep, ducks) on the property that only add to its charm. The pond out front is picturesque and I spent hours watching all the wildlife--mostly birds--while painting. The location of Nell House is on the edge of the Cotswolds and provides a lot of flexibility. From here, we could easily access the heart of the Cotswolds, the Downs and Salisbury, the West over to Bath, or north-east toward Stratford upon Avon. It's only a short train ride into London if needed. We would go out of our way to stay here again.

More than phantastic

It was a very peaceful and wonderful time in Nell house with very gentle hosts. They helped us with words and deeds. The cottage was so cosy and clean. The pictures in the Internet were so fine but the reality outranged the pictures. The scene was very idyllic, so it was hard to go away. And we love the horses and the ducks.

Relaxing country cottage

Nell cottage is set in rural England a short drive from Swindon and a stones throw from the stunning Cotswolds. The cottage is set in the most stunning grounds and overlooks a large pond which has bird life a plenty, The family who run it are lovely they are helpful and respect your privacy. Their communication with guests is superb. The cottage was clean and had all the facilities required to make yourself comfortable. Including, a fridge, microwave, oven, cutlery and crockery, towels and bedding. They also provide super fast wifi. We stayed a week before returning to Australia and the peaceful surroundings gave us chance to unwind before our long flight home. If you love peace and tranquility and enjoy watching Indian runner ducks and horses, and close proximity to the stunning Cotswolds this is the place for you. Thanks James and Joanna for sharing your stunning property. Carole and Peter, Australia.

perfect

+ 1st, the hosts: Jo and James, they are nice, likeable and obliging at anytime. Jo, who we met most, had a lot hints for activities and worthwhile destinations. Thank you very much for lending your house to us for a wonderful time. + the house and the property: A nice little oak house on a wonderfully beautiful property. Everything needed for holiday is in place. We felt exceedingly well. + region around Additionally to Jo's very helpful hints we had a perfect home base to starting our day trips to different destinations into the cotswolds and beyond. + weather sunshine and rain are fine and are necessary. Around 90% rain this autumn didn't make holidays constantly a feast. So, Jo and James, please work on that ;), so that we can enjoy a bit more next time to everything mentioned above. Thanks a lot and bye until then Monika, Wolfgang, Carola and Christian

Lovely country cottage

Directions and arrival instructions were accurate and easy to follow. The cottage is well appointed and spacious. Access to the upstairs bathroom is a little restricted but not a significant problem. As mentioned in the owners description, transport is required as there is nothing in the immediate area. However this means it's a lovely quiet countryside environment. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage and the lovely area.
