Five-star reviews from guests who have stayed at our estates

“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.”

Daniel

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.”

What We Offer

The Cotswold Villas difference

Every stay is arranged personally with the people who know these homes best — considered hospitality, quietly done.

01

Our finest rates, reserved for direct guests

When you book with us, nothing is added by third parties along the way — the rate we agree together is simply the rate you pay.

02

Every enquiry answered personally

You deal directly with the owners from the very first message — a considered, personal reply within 24 hours, never a call centre.

03

Arrivals arranged around you

Early check-ins and late departures are happily arranged wherever the calendar allows. Tell us your plans and we will shape the stay around them.

04

A concierge for your celebration

Private chefs, in-house spa treatments, wine tastings and celebration styling — arranged quietly on your behalf, on request.

05

Returning guests, remembered

Many of our guests return year after year — and are welcomed back like old friends, with first refusal on their favourite dates.

“This is a lovely house in a stunning location… Overall could not have been better. We would certainly love to come again.”
