Riverside Cottage
What a gem! We were really sad to only stay one night but will absolutely be back. Gorgeous surroundings. The stairs upstairs are steep. The hottub is amazing. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Lake Lodge (HM10), Lower Mill Estate, Cotswolds
A clean and well equipped house with plenty of space for the family. The views looking over the lake are stunning, whether just sitting or in the hot tub. Plenty to do with the kids and onsite bistro is good quality and reasonably priced. The Spa and swimming pool is excellent. A great place to stay for a long weekend.

Spring lake 77, The Ferns
Absolutely perfect place for a family celebration. The house was amazing with nothing lacking. The hot tub was enjoyed by all & the Lakeside Restaurant was so close & served delicious food. The views down the lake were stunning 😍 We would definitely recommend this home for a long weekend or a week's holiday as there is so much to do in the area. Great communication from Orion - loved it!!

Cottage in the Forest of Dean, Hot Tub on request
We loved the cottage ,so clean and comfortable and the garden/stream /swing and animals were a real hit with the children. We were made to feel very welcome -homemade cake ,lovely coffee ,bread and eggs ,such a nice touch with Easter eggs for the kids . Thank you Tracey and Dave .

The Hut and Tub
Great weekend, thanks Jess! The hut was really sweet, great use of the space and thanks so much for all the extra gifts Prosecco cake etc. Hot tub was amazing! Would recommend walking from the hut to Tewkesbury. Great views at the top of Norton Hill and then dropping down to walk alongside the river into the town which is lovely. 8 mile walk, we had a superb meal at an Italian restaurant and got a taxi back !!

Malachite: Tranquil Lakehouse with a Hot Tub
The amenities, dining facilities and seating arrangements were absolutely perfect for four couples. Amazing views of the lake from the master bedroom, patio and lounge. We all loved it!

Luxury Tree House, Enchanted Woods, Yurt & Hot Tub
Thank you so much Pam! You have been an amazing host and we appreciate everything. Honestly definitely recommend the place as we were posting on social media the pictures and videos while we were there a lot of family and friends were asking about the place and we had to send the link straight away because it was such an amazing placing in an amazing location

Secluded Cotswold barn conversion
Lizzy's place was wonderful. We were only there for a weekend and I would love to go back for a longer stay. There was plenty of space and the hot tub was a bonus. The property is also close to some very pretty villages and towns - highly recommended!

Garden Flat right on Malvern Hills
Although I had to return home quickly and didn't get chance to stay, I would highly recommend Lisa's flat. She takes pride and great care to provide a lovely place to stay. I have never met anyone on airbnb so helpful and friendly who definitely goes the extra mile to help in any way that she can.

Cotswold Cottage in Northleach
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Location was good for exploring the local area. Beware if you are tall, there are a couple of low doorways. Very comfortable stay.

(CB) Luxury Barn on Private Country Estate
We had a lovely stay at Crucis Park Barn, it is in a beautiful setting with fantastic views, the barn was just perfect for a group of 8 people to get together for a celebration weekend.

*OLD FORGE* Cottage Nr.Stow-on-Wold + Parking
My family loved our stay at Old Forge. Our children— aged 4 and 7– had a blast running around the yard and having their own secluded room on the upper level. We all enjoyed the rustic wildlife decor and the lovely view of the field. The cottage was cozy yet spacious, and the kitchen was well-equipped. Make sure to get dinner at the local spot— The Golden Ball Inn! Stow was a very short drive away with plenty of nice shops and restaurants and a Tesco for our grocery needs. We didn’t end up getting a chance to walk the paths nearby, but we saw plenty of spots we could have done so— and with any luck someday we can return to Old Forge and get to walk around. I’d highly recommend Old Forge for anyone staying in the Cotswolds, esp with children!

Dove Lodge Painswick
We really enjoyed our stay here. It is a lovely property in gorgeous settings. Our hosts were delightful. The area is absolutely beautiful with lots of wonderful walks. We had Sunday lunch at the local golf club which was superb. There was even a free range eggs for sale, at an honesty box. Painswick, beacon and Prinknash Abbey were wonderful locations to walk to. The Village of Painswick is absolutely glorious. The property looks out on a beautiful family, it is quiet, but has large televisions, which is wonderful, given that most places with state of a tiny TVs. Not that we watch that much telly. Our hosts were absolutely delightful, giving us a wonderful welcome, and supplying us with the most delicious ginger biscuits. We only stayed a few days, but we're fully rested and recharged. After spending a lovely time at this, most gorgeous place. We surely intend on returning sometime. I like to read, so it was great to have the peace and quiet to read. Thank you, Rebecca and Peter.

Cosy & Warm Old Chapel Cottage pkg Views Tennis-4
Had a wonderful weekend at The Walnuts. The Chapel is beautiful, clean and has lovely comfortable beds, easy parking and a perfect little garden. Jill was extremely responsive and provided helpful recommendations for walks and food, which we did and were great. Thanks so much Jill for a fab stay!

The Loft Apartment
What an absolutely perfect stay! This is, without doubt, the best AirBnB experience I have ever had. The apartment was just like home - great attention to detail with things like the quality bedding, books, well equipped kitchen, fabulous shower, biscuits, eggs, milk and butter that made us feel like we were at home the moment we arrived. As a garden lover, it was particularly special to be shown around by Rosemary, who clearly enjoys her craft and took time to explain how the garden came to be. John offered recommendations on where to visit, and was so accommodating when we were a bit late to check in - at night, too! They are the kindest of people, who didn't feel at all like strangers. An utterly stunning location with wonderful, peaceful surroundings which led to idyllic sleep! Thank you both, we will most definitely return!

Dog friendly self contained flat
We wanted somewhere quiet and relaxing to go for a couple of days and the barn at Badsey was perfect. The space itself is lovely with a comfortable bed and powerful shower. The breakfast facilities (kettle, toaster etc) were enough for us as there were so many places to eat nearby for lunch and dinner. Our dog was pleased to be able to have a sniff around the garden.

The perfect escape! Farahnaz and Paul are really helpful, very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The Summerhouse is so secluded and cosy. it really is a proper escape from the "Busy Life" Shakurs on the corner is a great place to eat if you get the chance. Thanks again Farahnaz & Paul, We will be back.

Me and my husband had a lovely stay here and was exactly like the photos, the Airbnb is sooo cute and perfect for what we needed, great communication and loads of recommendation’s. The view from the Airbnb in stunning too, so lovely waking up and exploring the local towns and walk ing trails. The pancakes were a lovely touch too, a few pubs in walking distance which also have descriptive directions to get there in the booklet, which we followed.. we had such a lovely Easter weekend, thank you so much.

Our second time at this gorgeous old cottage. Felt at home. So peaceful and relaxing. Beautiful area with fantastic walks and pubs. Would highly recommend if you are looking to get away and want a traditional cottage to relax in.

Lovely place right on the water. Looks better than the photos. Had everything we needed in a great location with access to pool and with onsite restaurant and little shop. Perfect for a get away would come again

Castleford Cottage Lower Mill Somerford Keynes
We had a very lovely weekend at Castleford Cottage. Tim and Rosane were very responsive and helpful - they also got us a new BBQ promptly which was really appreciated. The cottage is very quiet and the surrounding area is beautiful for walking or running. Nice heated pool as well although it can get very crowded with kids during the day. Overall a very good and fun weekend out of London!!

Heron's Nest, a lodge, with use of a Natural Pool.
Heron's Nest is in a very beautiful location just west of Swindon with great access to Cirencester and surrounding Cotswold villages. Hillary was extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. There is a secure back garden, perfect for pets and with a stunning view. There are a few walks around the local fields/property which was perfect for a morning walk with the dog. Very clean and tidy inside. We were surprised to find a smart TV with the usual streaming services. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to explore the Cotswolds.
