Idyllic & Perfectly Located 18th Century Cottage
We were thrilled to be welcomed into Caroline's gorgeous cottage. It had everything we could need plus more and exceeded our expectations compared to the photos. Caroline couldnt be more helpful and was a delight to meet. Thoughtful touches throughout the house made it such a special stay - including a fresh-baked loaf of bread, butter, home made marmalade and a delicious jam and cream sponge cake. Plus we had the joy of seeing the wysteria starting to bloom. Charming in every way. We would definitely stay again given the chance.

Idyllic 2-bedroom rural lodge with hot tub
We stayed at Acre Lodge over the late May bank holiday and it was brilliant. The lodge is clean, well laid out and with all the amenities and equipment you need for a restful stay. The fixtures and fittings are all great quality and the hot tub is good fun. The Mason Arms is a five minute walk away and a fantastic pub for food, service and atmosphere. Janet was a great host, and we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend!

Luxury Shepherd's Hut with stunning sunset views!
Had a wonderful stay at Honeysuckle; a very cosy cabin in a serene location. There are lots of local walks to enjoy and cafes to visit. Great communication from the host and you truly feel tucked away from it all. This was our second visit and we loved it as much as we did the first time. We will definitely be back again!

Bourton on the Water Scandi Chic Authentic Cottage
We had a fantastic time at Jasmine Cottage, it was characterful and cosy with everything we needed for our stay. The garden was a real bonus and meant our daughter could play freely while we had a glass of wine in the sun. Location couldn’t be better, a 5min stroll from the centre of Bourton, perfect.

Boutique couples hideaway – "The Den"
We stayed 2 nights and had a great time. Very clean, great breakfast and everything you need is there. Ali is a great host.

Lovely studio apartment close to Oxford
We simply loved our stay at Jane's studio. Everything was simple with her, and the place was quiet. Very comfy bed, all you needed was available here in order to enjoy the moment. We 100% recommend. Also recommend to have a car because the road to the house is very narrow with no pavement. We weren't motorized or couldn't leave by foot but we managed to get lifts from our family members (was a family reunion weekend). Great stay, great host, delicious welcoming brownie, all good for us ! Thanks again

Riverside Log Cabin+Luxury Hot Tub Spa+Copper bath
oh my days what an incredible cabin! 100% will be returning myself and family enjoyed a few days here. Marc the host was very welcoming and attentive, even going as far as to get us some maggots to try our hand at river fishing. The little kitchen area has everything you need and more! The bed linen smelt devine! It was immaculate! and all the memorabilia is so interesting - I wanted to take most of it home with me! it was great to be able to take our dog too. Thank you so much we really appreciated all the care and thoughtfulness that went into making this cabin a truly unique hideaway. We shall be back! and im sure a few of my friends will be booking some time there also! we also loved Marc's Playlist:-)

Luxury country converted barn

Great location for Oxford and Cotswolds. Good communication with Mel who is a great host. Thank you again 😊.
