“Amazing place to stay!”

The caretakers of house were superhelpful when I asked questions. A great location and cannot recommend a better place to stay!

“Beautiful cottage, spotlessly clean and really appreciated all the extra little bits that made it really child friendly (high chair, travel cot with bedding, baby wipes, toddler plates and cutlery etc).”

Brilliant stay and hope to be back!

“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.

MORETON-IN-MARSH

Stow-on-the-Wold 4.5 miles; Bourton-on-the-Water 8 miles; Stratford-upon-Avon 16 miles; Cheltenham 23 miles; Oxford 31 miles.

The Saxon market town of Moreton-in-Marsh lies on the Fosse Way Roman Road in the northern Cotswolds and boasts many elegant 18th century buildings, which are home to traditional inns, serving real ales and home-cooked food, tea rooms, restaurants and individual shops to suit all tastes. It also boasts it's own train station and lies on the intersection of the Paddington rail line from London. The town hosts the Moreton-In-Marsh Show, one of the UK's largest one-day agricultural shows, as well as the Moreton Beer Festival, an annual French Market, and a large outdoor market every Tuesday. Many walks and cycle rides through the beautiful rolling countryside of the Cotswolds can be enjoyed from the centre of the town, with the Macmillan Way, Heart of England Way, Gloucestershire and Monarch's Way all running close by. Less than five miles away is Stow-on-the-Wold, the highest town in the Cotswolds. This ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly farmers' market. Close by is Bourton-on-the-Water, which is known as the Venice of the Cotswolds as the River Windrush runs through the centre. It lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is one of the most popular Cotswold villages. Also within reach is the spa town of Cheltenham. This town boasts an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, and is famous for its horseracing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Worcester and the waterfront city of Gloucester are also within driving distance. A convenient base for exploring the Cotswolds and the wider area.
