We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Gamekeeper’s Cottage! As advertised, there is ample space with a bedroom on each of the upper floors, as well as a bonus sitting room upstairs. Stairs are narrow and add to the home’s charm! The Fox restaurant next door is a perfect treat. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us! ##### Robin J.

This adorable cottage had it all and was exactly as stated on line. The inside is very comfortable and while the cottage is small, the space is open and feels welcoming. We were extra grateful for the easy parking, outdoor patio space and furniture, and comfy linens! Extra bonus was the food truck one night in the town square and the lovely pub. Really this property is a must stay if you are looking for a great get away. We were only a few miles from gorgeous countryside walks, a market, and the beauty of the Cotswolds.
