The village of Sherston has an excellent grocery store, Pub and abbey and is conveniently located for access to many of Cotswolds most interesting sights. ##### Thomas C. Stayed 13 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judith S. 29 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An old house in an old village Beautiful house in a peaceful village. Parking wasn't a problem. Only a short walk to the Co-Op, where all our grocery needs were met. Kitchen very well equipped, and we felt quite at home. The local pub, the Rattlebone (spelling?) serves excellent food. One thing worth mentioning is that the floors upstairs in this very old house are uneven in places, and that, and the spiral staircases, might make it unsuitable for the elderly or infirm. I'm 76, and I coped, just about. ##### Judith S. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannah M. 5 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home We had a perfect stay here, beautiful home in a beautiful village. Well equipped cottage, great size living and sleeping spaces. It was clean, tidy and high quality - super comfy beds and sofas for relaxing! The owners were very communicative and we had an amazing time! Can't wait to visit again! ##### Hannah M.
