“We had a fabulous week at Lavender cottage.”

Stretton is in a great location and we made the most of it to explore the Cotswolds. The cottage is very comfortable and well appointed and the outside space is a private quiet sun trap- what a joy.

“We had an amazing stay at Lavender Cottage!”

We didn't want it to end! The cottage was clean and very well presented, equipped with everything we needed for a home-from-home holiday. It was comfortable and cosy. Guest information was useful, with suggestions of places to eat, shop, visit etc. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. Nice quiet location but ideal and close to the many attractions and beautiful sights that the Cotswolds has to offer. Would definitely visit again!

“Lavender Cottage was one of the best we have stayed in, the owner has thought of everything to make it a really fabulous stay, spotlessly clean and super comfy beds, which I think is the most important thing on holiday.”

Thank you for the great Welcome pack, again the owner thought of all your needs when first arriving. Janet

Julie May 2022

“Lavender Cottage is perfect for exploring the Cotswolds.”

The welcome pack was much appreciated and the facilities excellent. Stretton on Fosse is a beautiful, peaceful scenic village with a friendly pub serving great food. The most ‘noise’ we heard was the dawn chorus! It’s a short drive to Moreton in the Marsh for any additional supplies. We would definitely choose a Character Cottage again.

- Julie, May 2022

Thank you for taking the time to provide such lovely feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the cottage and the peaceful village (and the local pub of course!). We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
Angela May 2022

“A lovely cottage, with every amenity you could think of.”

Quality fixtures and fittings. A well stocked welcome pack the best I've ever had and gratefully received. Ideal location for lots of Cotswold villages and good walking nearby.

- Angela, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback and we're delighted you enjoyed your stay - and the welcome pack! We hope to see you again. Property Owner
William Brian Albert April 2022

“We shared our stay at the cottage with our Daughter and Grandson who travelled over from their home in Switzerland, our first get together due to Covid in over two years.”

The welcome pack was lovely, and the Cottage was nice and warm on our arrival. The village is quaint, and has some lovely walks nearby, it's handy for siteseeing the Cotswolds, and there are two Supermarkets in Moreton in the Marsh about four miles away. The Cottage was one of the best we have stayed in only the stairs and shower causing a little difficulty for us aging old folk, but otherwise perfect. If the location suits you, I would highly recommend it.

“Lavender Cottage was the perfect venue for our short break.”

“Absolutely gorgeous cottage with every piece of equipment you could ever hope for, including the most generous welcome basket we've ever seen!”

!! We were visiting as a family of four with two young children and it was perfect for us as a base to explore the beautiful Cotswolds. Super cosy, with the most comfortable beds, and plenty of space for the boys to play. The village is tiny and peaceful, with an excellent pub which we ate at twice. It really was a fantastic stay despite some poor weather, and we'll definitely return in the future.

“Brilliant house, lovely character but perfectly modernised.”

Lovely welcome basket. Beautiful Linen etc. and even Apple TV so the kids could connect to Netflix when we all needed some down time. Enjoyed the local pub too. Only 7 mins drive to Morton on the Marsh and supermarket. Thank you for one of the very best Airbnb homes we have stayed in.

“We had an amazing time while staying at the Lavender Cottage.”

The cottage was just as advertised online - beautiful. It is very well maintained and close to all of the places we wanted to explore. Sara, the property contact was so very kind and knowledgeable. The Plough Inn was a great place to visit and meet locals, the food was also - amazing. We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone we knew travelling in the area. We feel lucky to have experienced such a beautiful part of the world.
