Booking and payment
Character Cottages is a marketing agency and we do not own any of the cottages listed on our website. 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.
Security deposits
Security deposits are not required (please note that guests are still liable for any damage or additional cleaning required as a result of their actions).
Occupancy
The maximum occupancy of the property is two guests, at any point during your stay. Unauthorised over occupancy is a breach of our terms and conditions and may result in the cancellation of your booking and additional charges. Please consult us prior to booking if you wish to discuss the possibility of having more than two 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 one additional infant.
Pets
Regrettably, pets are not accepted.
Bed linen and towels
Bed linen and towels are provided for guests.
Arrival and departure times
Arrival time is after 4pm and departure time is by 10am. Access is via a key safe, therefore it does not matter if you are arriving late at night.

Housekeeping
Where a letting exceeds nine nights, a mid-stay clean, bed linen and towel change may be included in the price. Please check with us to confirm. Additional housekeeping services may be available on request.
Child friendly facilities
Guests are welcome to bring their own travel cot and high chair, to accommodate one infant.
Please note that the cottage’s garden is not enclosed, therefore mobile infants should be supervised outside at all times.
Initial consumables
A small quantity of initial consumables is provided for your convenience (eg. tea, coffee, sugar, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, soap, 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
There are a couple of steps from the pathway leading down to the patio.
The staircase leads directly into the bedroom, with no door or stairgate, therefore toddlers should be supervised at all times. The bedroom also has some low beams, which could pose difficulty to guests with limited mobility, or carrying babies, both in terms of their general movement and their ability to quickly exit the house in the event of an emergency.
The smoke 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.

-“Wonderful place to stay to get off the grid and away from it all. Close to Bourton-on-the-Water where there's lots to do and many relaxing tea rooms, but also perfect for staying in on cold evenings.”, Robbie, March 2020
-“Really lovely cottage in very quiet remote area with superb pub about two minutes walk away. Super clean and lovely touch of a bottle of red wine when we arrived. The wood fire works perfectly and adds to the cosiness. It is already a very warm cottage anyway and is the perfect location to explore the Cotswolds. Absolutely zero negative points.”, Gary, February 2020

We really enjoyed exploring the Cotswolds and going on walks, particularly to the local country pubs!

-“Lovely clean and snug cottage - with a wonderful log burner. Great location, good for walks and close to some fabulous pub eateries. The Horse and Groom is a short walk away with good service, lovely food with importantly a good wine list. Chastleton House and Daylesford Farm Shop a must - it’s not just any farm shop it’s a restaurant, spa and cookery school so do go. Loved the bottle of wine left by the owner and the milk in the fridge - both a lovely touch. Would definitely stay in this cosy place again.”, Jane, November 2019
