Summary: An excellent cottage in a great central location to visit the Cotswolds. The village was very pleasant, with friendly residents, a few of which I chatted to. Great to have the bakery, butchers shop and newsagent altogether about a 2 minute walk away - fantastic pastries. There was no welcome basket as mentioned in other reviews, but not an issue. Our only issue was the road noise, being on the main road through the village; this was not terrible by any means, but noticeable. I will add that we live in a very quiet hamlet in Cornwall with no road noise, so our view might be a bit skewed by that. Overall, a fantastic place to stay and feel relaxed, as the cottage has a very homely feel, with everything you could think of provided to make the stay wonderful - including fans as it was very hot when we stayed.
