However I had difficulty trying to find radios to my favourite station, there was no operating i instructions for the microwave and the freezer was unusable because it needed defrosting. The review about the staircase that I only saw a few days before my holiday seemed a little unfair. I am 82 years of age with a balance problem but had no difficulty at all negotiating the stairs in absolute safety. The Horse and Hound was easily within 5 minutes walk, very welcoming and with an excellent menu as we're many other eateries only a few minutes walk away in Broadway. A most enjoyable week in the heart of the Cotswolds for me and my dog.

Excellent parking facilities. The only small negative is the stairs and very steep and the treads are very short, although this is part of the cottage's charm, it is not suitable for the elderly! Otherwise 5 stars all the way.
