From the moment we arrived, we were blown away — a stunning Cotswold stone home with so much space, beautifully decorated, and absolutely spotless. It felt instantly welcoming and comfortable. The village is lovely and peaceful, tucked away from the main tourist spots but with everything you could possibly need. There are gorgeous walks straight from the door and some fantastic country pubs within walking distance — perfect for lazy afternoons and evenings together. Kevin, the manager, was brilliant — great communication and so helpful from start to finish. We honestly didn’t want to leave. This cottage has everything you could wish for — beautiful, relaxing, and full of charm. Can’t wait to come back next year! ##### Rak H.

I chose Laurel Tree Cottage for a birthday weekend with friends & the house did not disappoint, fabulous in every way. Beautiful property & the setting equally so. House was immaculate & easily accommodated 9 guests, large enclosed garden to enjoy also & the kitchen leading to the garden seating area was perfect for sitting out in the warm summer evenings. Short walk into the village of Guiting Power, which had a lovely coffee shop & pub, where the staff & locals were all very friendly. Plenty of walks on your doorstep also. Couldn't fault the property & the welcome gifts were a nice touch on arrival. We were able to check into the property at anytime on the Friday & were also told we could check out later on the Sunday, neither of which we requested, so it was a nice bonus. Would definitely book Laurel Tree Cottage again. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Bridget S. 22 Nov 2024 #### Weekend break with friends I would recommend staying in the village of Guiting Power . It has good pubs , shops and lovely walks from the door of the house . The house was very comfortable and worked well for 6 friends having their own room each . The kitchen / diner / sitting area was perfect for our needs. We had plenty of hot water and the house was cosy . There was lovely welcome pack too . ##### Bridget S. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 13 Nov 2024 #### Family celebration A beautiful house in a lovely village with its pubs and small shop/cafe. It catered for all our needs, adults and children alike. Spacious and comfortable with access to footpaths and other villages and towns. In summer the garden would be ideal for family and friends gatherings. A most enjoyable week. Thank you. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul M. 21 Jan 2025 #### Bliss in the Cotswolds This house was absolutely perfect for a family gathering of adults with dogs. The house was very comfortable and well provisioned. Walks from the house were great with the dogs. The pub in the village was welcoming and the Post Office shop/cafe and farm shop provided some extra treats! With the location only ten minutes from Stow, we had everything we needed close by. The Fox at Oddington was an excellent venue for supper. A welcome and information book would have been useful. The week was a huge success so thank you! ##### Paul M. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good 30 Jul 2024 #### Perfect for attending Guiting Music Festival We wanted somewhere in the village as we attended concerts every evening and it was convenient to be able to walk back. The two pubs are very different but both serve good food and beer, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The cottage is in a quiet lane with little passing traffic, and there are good walks from the doorstep. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony C. 6 Jun 2024 #### Wonderful stay in a wonderful home in a wonderful place A simply stunning break. A lovely property which I can't fault, in a stunning part of the country. It was idyllic. Perfectly positioned to explore further afield but equally we enjoyed a few days just in the beautiful gardens and house. Guiting Power is a 2 minute walk away and has all you need for slotting in to village life. Great communication with Kevin the property manager who even allowed us to arrive earlier. Would definitely recommend ##### Anthony C. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine d. 25 Sept 2023 #### Lovely house We had a wonderful week here celebrating family birthdays. The house is in a fantastic location with walks from the door. We enjoyed the house, especially the large kitchen and lovely garden including play area. Comfortable beds and beautiful interior. We did feel that the kitchen needs a larger oven and hob. The Aga was off due to summer, and two rings plus small oven was insufficient to cook for a crowd. That apart we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. ##### Catherine d. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise O. 15 Dec 2023 #### Pre-Christmas family do What3words - brilliant! We all loved the cottage! So welcoming and cosy yet super spacious! Lots of lovely seating areas so we could all find somewhere to sit to read, watch TV, play games or even craft! Beautiful decor throughout! There were lots of oohs and ahs as we spotted the wooden candelabra in the kitchen or the beautiful bowl in the living room .. or the gorgeous burnt orange sofa (my favourite). Great location .. lovely village a short walk one way, a great walking route the other! Felt like I’d won the Omaze house lottery!! Hope to be back next Christmas! Though I think it would be a perfect spot in summer too. ##### Louise O. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Hayley B. 14 Aug 2023 #### A beautiful house - shame about the cleanliness I had read other reviews that the cleanliness was not up to scratch so I was prepared (& armed) with cleaning products. It’s a shame that I had to spend time cleaning the house when I should’ve been enjoying it. Most utensils provided & rooms are spacious & homely. Decor is lovely. Needs a deep clean. The beds are a bit creaky! Overall expensive but the house is huge so forgivable, just wish it was cleaner! ##### Hayley B. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert S. 24 Oct 2023 #### Great holiday house We had a wonderful holiday at Laurel Tree Cottage. The house is fantastic with plenty of room to spread out. We were a big family with ages ranging from 2 to 92\. We were able to use the snug as an indoor play area. The decor and furnishings are very beautiful and tasteful. We had everything we needed. It was good to have coffee, tea,sugar, salt, pepper and oil provided. The bread and butter left for us were delicious. The bedrooms were very comfortable and great bathrooms. It was very thoughtful of the owner to provide stairgates and so many toys for children. We loved the garden and my grandson enjoyed playing on the swings, slide, trampolene and the little playhouse. The house is ideally situated to see many of the Cotswolds sights. We had enjoyable meals in the village pubs and the Post Office cafe. We would love to stay again. ##### Robert S. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 23 May 2024 #### A fabulous bolt-hole in Cotswold Village of great character Laurel Tree Cottage is ideally situated in the heart of the characterful Cotswold Village of Guiting Power. The spread of accommodation across 3 floors provides spacious rooms - perhaps best suited to families and close friends. The main kitchen and dining area are a little "tight" but adequate for the maximum number that Laurel Cottage can accommodate. The living rooms felt a little dark on dull days and the evenings tho lighting is fine. All beds were "comfy". Food shops, restaurants, pubs etc are all on the door step for those who want to leave behind the motor car. The old Post Office (scrumptious goodies), The Cotswold Guy (for up market ready meals and lunch time treats) and good local beers and fayre at the Farmers Arms, mean traditionalist are superbly catered for. The network of footpaths from the village is great with large numbers of classic Cotswold walks within a few minutes drive. A most enjoyable stay. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good 12 Aug 2023 #### Family long weekend Lovely house in a great location with very pretty countryside. We were 11 adult members of a family who live in different parts of the country and the world getting together and celebrating a 86th birthday.Overall we had a lovely stay. We had an enjoyable meal at the Hollow bottom and those who went to the Post Office cafe were well satisfied too. The weather was not great so we didn't get to explore as much of the countryside around as we would have liked. The size and configuration of the rooms suited us well but as others have said before, there were a few niggles. The biggest was the cooking amenities for a house for 11 people. If you are not using the Aga, the hob and oven are very small and even boiling pasta and making a sauce at the same time for just six of us on our first evening was tricky. There are lapses such as lack of instructions for appliances such as the Nespresso machine, waste disposal in the kitchen sink etc We also found it difficult to get cold water from the sink tap. A handbook would be very handy. Other things are a bit tired and shabby such as the wooden bench and chairs in the garden, knobs falling off taps in a bathroom and the sofa in the kitchen/diner. The bedrooms were stuffy at night and maybe doorstops/wedges would help to get some cross ventilation. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 11 Aug 2025 #### Second year at Laurel Tree Cottage This is an ideal property for us. It is within 10 minutes’ maximum walk of the music festival site, and is located in a peaceful lane with plenty of walks nearby. The owner and the local representative are very good at getting in touch and replacing items which have disappeared! A few more hooks on the backs of doors would be useful for hanging jackets and bathrobes, as would a couple of deckchairs so one could sit in the garden. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Lords of the Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Lords-Of-The-Manor-Hotel.h17766135.Hotel-Information) > - [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > - [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > - [Broadlands Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Broadlands-Hotel.h2631331.Hotel-Information) > - [The Colesbourne Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Colesbourne-Inn.h3810136.Hotel-Information) > - [The Wheatsheaf Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Wheatsheaf-Inn.h1218872.Hotel-Information) > - [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > - [The Lion Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Lion-Inn.h4133876.Hotel-Information) > - [The Stag at Stow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Stag-At-Stow.h15876871.Hotel-Information) > - [Traditional Cotswold stone cottage with wonderful views and log burning fires](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Traditional-Cotswold-Stone-Cottage-Which-Sleeps-People-8-And-Has-2-Bathrooms.h64401899.Hotel-Information) > - [Duke of Wellington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Duke-Of-Wellington.h44764080.Hotel-Information) > - [The Slaughters Country Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Slaughters-Country-Inn.h5484211.Hotel-Information) > - [The Lamb Inn Great Rissington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Lamb-Inn-Great-Rissington.h4592088.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > - [Montpellier Townhouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Montpellier-Townhouse.h18167629.Hotel-Information) > - [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > - [Cleeve Hill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Cleeve-Hill-House.h22944864.Hotel-Information) > - [Rising Sun Hotel by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Rising-Sun-Hotel-By-Greene-King-Inns.h63601.Hotel-Information) > - [Stylish Holiday Apartment - Gisleburtus House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Stylish-Holiday-Apartment-Gisleburtus-House.h95472920.Hotel-Information) > - [The Plough Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Plough-Inn.h12926879.Hotel-Information) > - [The Bell at Stow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Bell-At-Stow.h35819374.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > - [The Frogmill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Frogmill.h23324533.Hotel-Information) > - [Architectural gem on an acclaimed Cotswold farm /2](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Architectural-Gem-On-An-Acclaimed-Cotswold-Farm-2.h98308927.Hotel-Information) > - [The Slaughters Manor House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Slaughters-Manor-House.h790467.Hotel-Information) > - [Old Manse Hotel Bourton by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Old-Manse-Hotel-Bourton-By-Greene-King-Inns.h3075291.Hotel-Information) > - [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > - [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) ---
