It was a very well presented clean property with everything that we needed. Sarah the host was very attentive and provided us with whatever we required. Wr woukd highly recommended Sweetslade Cottage. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Georgia P. 4 Jun 2025 #### Loved it! We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was about a 4 minute drive to the nearest town of Broughton on the Water- which was frankly the most touristy and busy town of them all. You'd definitely need a car (or hike) to get to the others. The tiny home itself was well equipped, with very thoughtful amenities including wine, coffee (including alt milk) and treats. The host was wonderfully helpful, pointing out the nearby walks and food recommendations. All in all, we'd absolutely return to this property. ##### Georgia P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary R. 4 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Start to our Cotswolds Holiday It is such a lovely property with great proximity to some of the more central Cotswold villages.
