We had an excellent stay at Hope Cottage and would highly recommend it to anyone considering it! 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.
