Fantastic
We really enjoyed our time at Carpenters Cottage - very relaxing, property tucked away from the road with a stunning front garden and lawn.

The most idyllic stay in the Cotswolds
We loved our first time at Carpenter's Cottage so much that we returned again this year for a 2nd visit! The charming cottage is well located to explore the Cotswolds and surrounding area, tucked off the street with a well tended private garden to welcome you. Our kids love the bunk beds in the 'kids room' and I can't imagine a better setting for a relaxed breakfast than in the gorgeous and well appointed kitchen. There is nothing to be faulted, from design to amenities - full sized Bramley products in the bathroom and a generous supply of tea/coffee/kitchen essentials made our stay seamless, and feels more like visiting a stylish friend in their country house than a vacation rental.

Would return in a heartbeat
My mum and I had such a wonderful stay and we would definitely come back. The house had both cozy indoor spaces and comfortable outdoor spaces.
