Lovely base for exploring this part of the Cotswolds, in a peaceful location, very comfortable with plenty of room and furnished with all you could need for a stay We enjoyed sitting in the garden enjoying the sunshine - and there is plenty of shade too if needed. All communication with Louise was easy and we'd happily stay here again when visiting the area

Peace and Tranquilty

A really nice, roomy and comfortable cottage with good facilities and a great host. Situated just a short distance from Cricklade and on a direct route to Malmesbury. A great place to use as a base for site seeing and traveling around the Cotswolds.

Perfect for a short stay

This place was perfect for a short break in the area. Louise was on hand to welcome me to the property and tell me about the local area. The cottage is spacious and well equipped with a lovely outdoor area although it was too wet and cold to use it this time. Highly recommended.

Wonderful cottage

What a find! Pond Cottage is a clean and comfortable cottage. It felt like a home from home and Louise made us feel very welcome. It was a lovely space to come home to each evening, perfect for myself, my husband and his mum. We would not hesitate to visit again or recommend it to others.

My family didn't want to leave!

The Pond House is lovely! There was plenty of room for my family of five and my 12-year-old loved visiting with the horses. Louise brought us fresh eggs and was a joy to chat with. It was a perfect location for day trips to Bath and Oxford. Thank you for your hospitality!

Fabulous - booked again straight away!

We had an absolutely great stay at the cottage. One of my favourite rentals ever. Louise could not have been nicer or more helpful. The cottage was immaculately clean. Well equipped. It was warm and cozy. There was nothing I would change. In fact I booked the cottage again whilst we were there! It's really well placed, everything is easily drive able. This is a real find!

Perfect cottage in a beautiful setting.

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely cottage. Everything was perfect and Louise, our host, was so friendly and helpful. The cottage was so well equiped which we found unusual as previous cottages that we have stayed in were not so. The location is perfect for exploring the Cotswolds and we are looking forward to returning next year.
