Family Christmas trip to Morton in Marsh, great location and lovely cottage

Great cottage, in a lovely location. Very well equipped with everything you need and more for a great stay. Done to a high spec, and bigger than it appears in the pictures. Cosy and comfortable lounge, with plenty of seating, and a lovely log burner which is great in winter months. The owners even went to the length of decorating for Christmas which was a lovely touch to our family holiday. Would definitely go back!

Great location, beautiful cottage

We had a wonderful time at the Old Candle Shop. The location is perfect and having space for a car was great for day trips. The space was clean and had all of the amenities we could need. Great for a family vacation. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus to use in the evening.

Fab Five Days

This cottage is just lovely. It was really clean on arrival and had everything you could possibly need. The location is perfect and the hot tub a great asset. We were able to access everywhere really easily which was a bonus. We didn’t want to leave!!

A beautiful place to stay

We had a fantastic few days at The Old Candle Shop. The cottage was beautiful and spotlessly clean. It also had absolutely everything anyone would need from milk and butter in the fridge to dog treats in the cupboard. Location-wise, the cottage is in the heart of Moreton-in-Marsh, just behind the High Street, with plenty of places to eat and drink. The walks were beautiful too! A perfect place to stay and we wouldn't hesitate to go back again, it was a real 'home from home' holiday.

Lovely festive stay

We had a lovely stay at The Old Candle shop. Everything we needed was there for four of us, it was lovely done! We spent our evenings by the fire playing games and watching Christmas films. Location was great as we had everything we needed in the village but was easy to get to all the villages we wanted to visit too. It was also lovely having our own ensuite too and the piano was a nice touch. We would 100% stay again.

Clean well maintained property, excellent location. Good to have hot tub, though there were no sterilising tablets to put in the water once used even though instructions ask you to put them in after you get out.

Heart of the Cotswolds!

Great place and really good location. Only reason it’s a 4 on comfort is the upstairs rooms were very hot with the weather being unseasonably warm. Managed okay with the fans but would of been difficult if any hotter! Other than that perfect location wise and facilities and would’ve definitely return!

Fantastic location

We stayed as a group of four adults at the property for a week at the end of September. The property is well equipped & stylishly decorated. The location is great just a 30 second walk to the high street where there are several eateries, cafes & supermarkets. All the pubs we visited severed great food. A couple of negatives, the property wasn’t as clean as I would expect it was dusty & grimey in places, appreciate it is the end of the season but think a deep clean was needed. Also I think it needed a bit of maintenance as two of the toilet seats were loose & several chipped plates mugs etc, having said that we had a lovely stay and would recommend it to others.

Family Birthday Weekend

First impressions count and this property had it all.- fabulous facilities and the wow factor. Had to be good at reversing to get the car into the enclosed yard. Display cabinet shelves a bit dusty and the wok had been left with oil in but other than these minor points the property was first class.

sunny week in the cotswolds

the house is in an excellent location just off the high street. It also has the bonus of private parking. Tastefully furnished and decorated and everything we needed for our stay. Unfortunately both external doors have difficult locks and these should be rectified or additional information sent out in advance to guests. One Of the double beds is two singles and needs an additional mattress topper adding.

Spacious and well appointed property in a good location

The property is in an excellent location within 100m to the shops and pubs of Moreton. It was spacious and clean with everything you could need. The hot tub was clean and well maintained. If you have a very big car you may find the parking a bit tight. EV charger wasn't working, but the property manager sorted it very quickly. I would recommend this property and would go again if I was visiting the area.

Great Location

The house was lovely and in such a great location close to the shops and station. The house had everything we needed and wanted which was great. Couple of things that could be improved would be something like a gazebo over the hot tub so it can be used in all weather conditions. Also the sofa bed in the front room needs seriously upgrading its very uncomfortable and dips in the middle even when set up as a sofa.

A great house to stay in a great location

We loved our stay at The Old Candle Shop. The house is very well equipped and we loved the treats and breakfast items left for us to enjoy. The garage is a real plus especially with the EV charging capability. The beds are really comfortable, the rooms are spacious and the hot tub was great too. We loved having a laundry (although laundry detergent and an outdoor clothesline or airer would be useful). Also while there is shower gel you need to bring your own shampoo and conditioner. The location is great - just off the main street so easy to go to Tesco, the pub or cafes nearby without a car. Also it is walking distance to the train station. It is in a quiet location and we felt very safe walking everywhere. The nearby villages are easy to reach by car and there are fantastic restaurants in the surrounding areas too.

Very comfortable, high spec holiday home

A very comfortable high spec property in a fabulous location. The welcome pack was lovely and everything you need was provided and well thought out. Living room was extremely comfy with excellent seating for us all and we enjoyed our stay. Thank you Our only minor criticisms are: No Prosecco flutes - even in the cabinet there wasn’t anything suitable No pint glasses The garden on entering the property was untidy with dead plants in pots so not a great first impression Umbrella was broken so no shade BBQ was unusable due to being filthy and not cleaned from whoever used it last

Fabulous Stay for Longborough Festival Opera

We had a fabulous week in Moreton at The Old Candle Shop. The property was very well equipped and the welcome basket was superb. The beds were very comfortable and the towels were lovely and fluffy. Everything was well explained in the house and we managed to use the cooker and tv with no problems. My only slight whinges were that the drawers in the bedroom hadn’t been cleaned properly and the parking space was a bit tight. I always bring my own shampoo/conditioner/shower gel anyway but these weren’t provided at the property. We will definitely stay again and Moreton is a lovely Cotswold town.

First Cotswolds visit

The house is in a perfect position just a short stroll from the High Street where there are lovely places to eat and drink. It was well equipped with anything you would possibly need and a lovely welcome pack was waiting for us when we arrived. We visited lots of lovely places every day all within an hours journey of the property. The house was beautiful and we had a hard task trying to keep our 5 year old granddaughter out of the hot tub. She loved it!!! Nice to relax in after a long day sightseeing.Although there is only one space for parking at the property, there are plenty places on the High Street. I would definitely recommend it and if we visit the Cotswolds again in the future, I woul love to stay here again. Thankyou.

A Great Stay at The Old Candle Shop

The Old Candle Shop is located in one of the most beautiful parts of the country , all areas of the Cotswold are a short drive away and would highly recommend seeing as much as you can . The old Candle Shop is amazing it is roomie and well-presented and the of street parking is a bonus . The outside area is also good with a hot tub that is not over looked , i must say though that the only down side are a few of the food eateries we had a few poor meals/takeaways the stone bake pizza place was not that great and Ask Italia also not great having said that it did not spoil our stay i must recommend Otis & Belle they serve amazing fresh baked food every day . Also leaving on a high these areas are very dog friendly which ticks a box for most . In regards to what i have said these are our views in regards to the eateries please make your own decision .

Superb property & in a great location

The property certainly has the wow factor, beautifully presented and very well equipped. The location is great, just a few metres from the main high street, but even being so close there was no noise nuisance at all. Everything was good quality & it was a comfortable property to stay in. Our only two very minor niggles were that there were plenty of plastic flutes & wine glasses for use around the hot tub, however there were only 2 proper glass wine glasses for use indoors. I appreciate there was a cabinet containing expensive looking crystal glasses however we didn't know if they were for general use & would have been afraid of breaking them. Also there were four of us booked into the property but only 3 hot tub towels were provided - properly an oversight. We would all definitely stay here again as it really was a lovely place.
