    The orange juice, milk and biscuits were a lovely touch. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook, we only prepared Breakfast here as we ate out on our day trips to other places. There is a nice big well maintained garden with plenty of seating areas, our three Grandchildren loved playing out in garden. The problem for us was the very thin blind in the main bedroom which kept no light out at all, Your asked to strip beds (5) fully before you leave we have never been asked to do this in other properties. We felt rushed as the cleaning lady arrived before 10am Over all we had a great stay here and would recommend it.

    Warwick Castle, Blenhiem Palace & Cotswold lavender fields are all close by and great day trips to enjoy. If you want to just relax and put your feet up, the cottage, its garden, BBQ and Lower Brailes is the perfect place to do just that. Only thing you need to do is bring stock for the kitchen, nearest local shop is 5 miles away in Shipton on Stour.

    The garden is excellent but obviously not for this time of year. This was not very good for a Christmas break as cooking for 6 was a challenge with the limited baking trays, etc. available, and very limited opening times of village pub and shops. We much appreciated the festive decorations and welcoming touches. Thank you.
