“We absolutely loved our stay. The house and the garden are first class and well maintained. Tim was very helpful and gave us clear instructions. Worth every penny.”

Verified guest review · 5* Luxury Cotswold Villa with Stunning Views
“We had such a wonderful stay — everything was so easy to find and Tim was on hand for any help we needed. Honestly couldn't have asked for more, just a perfect holiday away. We would definitely love to come back.”
Kim
Verified guest review · 5* Luxury Cotswold Villa with Stunning Views
“A lovely house in a stunning location. We were a family group of mixed ages (oldest 93!). The outdoor space is fantastic with the hot tub and covered eating area, and inside is spacious with flexible bedroom options. We had a private chef in for one night which worked well. Overall could not have been better.”
Belinda
Verified guest review · 5* Luxury Cotswold Villa with Stunning Views
“This is an amazing house. We celebrated an 18th birthday with 3 generations of family and it worked perfectly for everyone. Loads to keep teenagers busy, a superb spot for dog walks and a stroll to the local pub. The bedrooms and bathrooms are beautiful. We would definitely love to return.”

Sarah
Verified guest review · 5* Cotswold Chocolate Box Manor House
“Gorgeous house — lots of space and character. The garden was great for 6 kids to play in (of varying ages). The kitchen is well kitted out so we had everything we needed to cook. A lovely part of the world and I would definitely recommend the house.”
Lorna
Verified guest review · 5* Cotswold Chocolate Box Manor House
“Our original accommodation turned out to be double booked, leaving 16 of us in a real panic! Tim came to our rescue at a moment's notice and had the house opened up within 30 minutes. The house was spotless, the location beautiful, and the pool table was a huge hit with the kids. A truly special stay we'll remember for all the right reasons.”
