Summary

The cottage has a wealth of character features, including exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove, and Cotswold stone mullion windows.

Location
Cobblers Cottage is a short walk away from the heart of the famous Cotswold market town of Moreton-in-Marsh, which is home to a wide range of independent shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes. The thriving high street straddles the ancient Fosse Way, and has many fine examples of 17th and 18th century Cotswold stone buildings, making Moreton a lovely place to walk around and explore.
Moreton benefits from having its own train station, with regular services to London and Birmingham, and there are good public transport links from the town, making it an ideal location for exploring the North Cotswolds region. There are also many beautiful walks and cycle routes through the stunning surrounding countryside, which are accessible directly from the town. Well known tourist destinations, such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Blenheim Palace and Oxford, are also all just a short drive away.

We manage a proportion of cottages within our portfolio and the remaining properties are managed by a third party property manager or the property owner – your pre-arrival email will contain confirmation and contact details for your property manager. Bookings made via us form a legal agreement directly between you and the property owner.
For bookings commencing more than 10 weeks in advance, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required to confirm the booking. The balance payment is then due 10 weeks prior to arrival.
All payments are made subject to the cancellation policy set out in the standard Booking Conditions.

Please consult us prior to booking if you wish to discuss the possibility of having more than four guests at the property.
Infants who sleep in a cot do not count towards the occupancy figure, however, due to space restrictions, the occupancy figure may only be exceeded by up to two additional infants.
Pets
Up to two medium sized dogs are accepted, at a cost of £20 per booking per dog.
For the comfort of future guests, we ask that dogs remain downstairs, stay off the furniture and that no trace of a dog remains after your departure.

Bed linen and towels are provided for guests.

Initial consumables
A small quantity of initial consumables is provided for your convenience (eg. tea, coffee, sugar, washing up liquid, soap, washing powder, toilet rolls, etc), however, you should not expect the quantity of these provisions to be sufficient for the duration of your stay.
Accessibility, health and safety
This is an old property with steep stairs and low beams, which is laid out over three floors, and could therefore pose difficulty to guests with limited mobility, or carrying babies, both in terms of their general movement and their ability to exit the property quickly in the event of an emergency.
The smoke and CO detectors operate on a sound only basis and, therefore, those who have serious impairment of hearing may not be able to hear the alarm systems and could be at risk.
Smoking
No smoking or vaping is permitted throughout the property.
Photographs
In order to provide you with as much detail of our properties as possible, we sometimes use wide angle photography, which can make certain rooms, or spaces, appear larger than they actually are. Wherever possible, we try to include a floorplan, with detailed dimensions of rooms and areas.
If you have any queries regarding the size of any rooms or spaces, please do not hesitate to contact us.
