We stayed with friends and there was ample room for six adults. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed for some home cooking, as an alternative there are two good pubs within walking distance, both of which good value and tasty food. ##### Michael W.

It’s very spacious and beautifully laid out, with a lovely garden. The location is a little bit remote, as in it’s a long drive to anywhere! ##### Carolyn D.

Snug in kitchen/ diner worked really well. Lucky enough to be able to sit out in attractive garden. Several walks nearby and pub in village was very welcoming with good food.

Although it was wet and cold out, inside when we had lit the woodburner it was perfect. I had forgotten about rush-hour traffic from 7am, not something I am used to in my own home. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 17 Apr 2025 #### Beautiful cottage in the middle of nowhere Stayed here for a week with 3 generations and we had a lovely time. The cottage is big, comfortable and as well equipped as any that I have stayed in, with pretty much everything that you could need in the kitchen (including empty cupboards for food, which is rare) and an endless supply of logs, kindling and lighters for the open fire. The location is very remote, with a 10 minute drive to find a white line in the road which means that even nearby places take a while to get to and from, but with that comes peace and quiet which is what we were looking for. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pat D. 16 Sept 2023 #### Super short break We (3 couples) had a great 4 night stay at Hope Cottage. The cottage was lovely, spacious, comfortable & very well equipped, and with a nice garden to sit out in. It was lovely to do good walks straight from the door. Quenington is a beautiful village and we can recommend The Keepers Arms where we had an excellent Sunday lunch. All in all, an excellent holiday! ##### Pat D. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 18 Jan 2024 #### A lovely Christmas We had a lovely stay at Hope Cottage over Christmas 2023 with 6 adults and a baby. The house is very well equipped and beautifully decorated throughout, we appreciated the extra Christmas decorations too. The living room is cosy with a log burner and comfortable chairs for us all and the kitchen diner is spacious. Would definitely come back. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 27 Oct 2023 #### Lovely cottage, lovely stay Lovely well maintained well equip cottage with everything you could need. Out of the village but made it even more peaceful and stunning small garden. Short walk to the local pub with hearty food although best walking in daylight due to dark bendy lanes. Other great walks nearby. Only downside was log fire - very smokey even with specific instructions. We will definitely consider returning.

The nearby villages (and their pubs) are a delight. We all enjoyed our stay and would wholeheartedly recommend to others. ##### Kathy S.

The cottage was immaculate, well-maintained, and in a great location to explore the Cotwolds. It offers spacious bedrooms and a nice outdoor garden for the kids. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 7 Aug 2025 #### Lovely Cotswolds Cottage Hope Cottage is a lovely cosy, comfortable cottage near a pretty village. Some of the shrubs at the entrance could do with being cut back as they obstructed a clear view of the road when driving out. It would be useful if there was a standard welcome pack, especially when there is no shop in the village. We stayed in one of your cottages in Dorset a few months ago and there was a full hamper of lovely food. The pub in the village was excellent. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas S. 10 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Sehr geräumiges und hervorragend ausgestattetes Cottage. Mit einer tollen großen Küche sowie angrenzendem großen Tisch, einem separaten Wohnzimmerbereich, drei Schlafzimmern und zwei Bädern haben wir hier eine Woche mit drei großen Kindern haben wir die Woche hier genossen.Besonders erwähnenswert ist auch die gute und umfangreiche Ausstattung mit Geschirr, Besteck, Töpfen, Küchenutensilien etc. Man kann hier getrost sein Essen selber zubereiten, es ist alles Wesentliche vorhanden. ##### Thomas S.

Inside the overall impression was good : kitchen is light and generally well equipped (no extraction fan over hob) with a cosy sitting area. The main sitting room seats four comfortably- bit of a squeeze if more in the party. Main bedroom with en-suite shower good, bedding was fresh and plenty of storage. The other two bedrooms were twin bedded, one more suitable to children as beds are narrow and the room is small. On the negative side: Mattresses and pillows could do with replacing. There wasn’t any tea or coffee or welcome biscuits etc when we arrived, housekeeping delivered these by early evening. There was absolutely no information about the immediate local area. It was all generic Cotswold information in the folder with nearest recommended places being in Bourton. Surely the company should be supporting local business - there are great pubs in the village and in neighbouring Coln St Aldwyn where there is also an excellent community shop. We found a lovely walk starting from the house, signposted by Cook Trust - again no information in the house. Finally, I am very concerned about the temperature of the hot water coming off the combi boiler. It is scaldingly hot and could be real hazard. The temperature on the boiler needs turning down - something which would help on the energy usage too. ##### Jane C.

Don't hesitate! The owners clearly love and take good care of their home - every amenity is provided and the furnishings are cosy and comfortable. It is a perfectly convenient yet secluded home base for exploring the Cotswolds. The local pub, the Keeper's Inn, is gorgeous and has great food only a 15 minute walk through the greenery. We loved spending our days close to home or in some of the local towns, returning to a crackling fire, peaceful garden, and quiet night's rest. A couple of things to note from our visit. There were some aspects of maintenance that had been overlooked for a little too long e.g. one of the bath/shower tubs was slow to drain, the hot water kettle was completely covered with limescale. We also noted a fuel-type smell coming from the boiler shortly after arrival. Cotswolds Hideaways was exceptionally quick at coming back to us on a weekend to send the owners to check the boiler while we were out, but we never heard anything after that point, so can only assume they decided all was well. As is the case in stone cottages, there is no phone signal, but there is good wifi and a landline phone if needed. Despite these minor things, we loved our stay and would recommend wholeheartedly. ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer T. 19 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely holiday cottage Really comfortable, lovely location.

Noisy road Missing musquito nets on door and windows This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 24 Mar 2022 #### Wonderful cottage in peaceful rural location Stayed at Hope Cottage during Cheltenham Festival week. Every aspect of our stay was just about perfect. The cottage is located a short walk from Quenington on a quiet country road. It is very well equipped and laid out and well furnished. The owners have clearly gone to a great deal of trouble and I could easily have stayed longer and would happily pay a return visit. My only gripe is a minor one and relates to the "welcome package" of food items that waited our arrival. This comprised a 1 litre bottle of full fat milk and a large cake. Not particularly welcoming, not very imaginative and not very useful.

We had a wonderful week in this fabulous cottage, which is in an idyllic setting in a quiet village. The cottage is well laid out and beautifully furnished. Extremely well equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing break. Lots of lovely local walks and well placed to explore the gorgeous Cotswold countryside, Blenheim Palace and Oxford.

Tastefully decorated and really well appointed, this spotlessly clean cottage is really well situated for exploring the Cotswolds. Cosy and spacious, it provided our family with everything we needed. We highly recommend this property. ##### Miles H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie-Anne W., Gold Coast, Australia 11 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Adorable cottage so sweet & pretty Hope Cottage is an adorable property. Beautifully decorated with such attention to detail. We fell in love the minute we walked in the door. It was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We loved the location. There were 6 of us and we all felt there was enough space to not get in each other’s way. The only negative was we found it a little cold; perhaps it was the tiled flooring & no central heating. The wall heaters were lovely but just didn’t seem to warm the house up. Minor issue we could not work the oven & had difficulty with the induction; even after reading the manual. None of these issues would stop us from staying there again. ##### Carrie-Anne W. ### 8/10 Good #### Nicola W. 3 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Review - Hampergate Lovely cottage and good location. The only disappointment was that there was no welcome hamper on arrival as stated in the property description. It even says don’t worry if you forget breakfast essentials as you can rely in the hamper. All of the other previous guests received their hampers as they all liked to rave about them in the guest book. We’re not bitter though... ##### Nicola W. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Stunning Lakeside Lodge Within Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Stunning-Lakeside-Lodge-Within-Cotswold-Water-Park.h48216166.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratton House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Stratton-House-Hotel-Spa.h28411.Hotel-Information) > > [Bredbury Hall by Accor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockport-Hotels-Bredbury-Hall.h64706.Hotel-Information) > > [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Colchester.h14251.Hotel-Information) > > [Ox Hotel Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Milton-Manchester-Hotel.h18787802.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stables](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-The-Stables.h46204650.Hotel-Information) > > [Etrop Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Etrop-Grange.h49116.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Wychnor Park Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Wychnor-Park-Country-Club.h1927715.Hotel-Information) > > [Caverswall Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Caverswall-Castle.h23959535.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeside Lodge with 6 berth hot tub and private fishing peg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Delightful-Lakeside-Lodge-With-Hot-Tub-Private-Fishing-Peg-With-Stunning-View.h27123912.Hotel-Information) > > [Northlands Farm & Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Northlands-Farm-Lakes-Premium-Chalet-1.h37797465.Hotel-Information) > > [Barnsley House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Barnsley-House-Hotel.h3950090.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) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > > [Waters Edge 03, Waters Edge Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Waters-Edge-03.h45165917.Hotel-Information) > > [ Cotswold water park, Hoburne cotswolds luxury lodge.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Cotswold-Water-Park.h45252279.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > > [Urban Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Urban-Beach-Hotel.h2814369.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Makeney Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belper-Hotels-Makeney-Hall-Hotel.h1206529.Hotel-Information) ---
