Oat House

We had a fantastic time at Oat House. The cottage was wonderful - from the Aga to the views. And the garden was perfect for cocktails and birthday cake.

Absolutely fabulous! From the wonderful welcome hamper to the welcoming rooms and amazingly comfortable beds.
Close to everything giving us the opportunity to do anything or nothing at all and relax by the fire with a book.
Can’t wait to return.

What a magnificent house!
Well presented and immaculate in every manner.
The extra touches such as firewood, welcome pack and the laundry facilities were exceptional. Parking for 2 cars was excellent.

The bedrooms are lovely and airy with all facilities required and the reception rooms are just perfect.

My stepmother stayed with us and she said that it "was the best holiday that she ever had".

The village is beautiful and well worth a visit anytime.
Snowshill Arms was a standout and thank you to all involved in that venture.

The house was very comfortable and superbly equipped; I have never seen a kitchen that was so generous with its crockery, cutlery, glasses etc. The welcome pack was very good quality, using lots of local produce, and contained a wide variety of goods. The Aga kept the kitchen cosy although we didn't use the oven as we were not quite sure how it worked. The master suite is enormous and the beds are very comfortable. The house is huge and very well suited to a large family gathering. The village is tiny and so quiet - but beautiful. The only possible complaints/comments - score of 4.5 not available - cooking oil would be a valuable addition in the kitchen and there was some noticeable dust in a few areas.

The Oat House was a perfect place to stay, so peaceful,really beautifully arranged and immaculately clean. Fresh flowers and an amazing hamper welcomed us to the cosy Aga warmed kitchen.
I have booked several holiday cottages over the years, this was the best ever. It’s not only the picture perfect village but the attention to detail in The Oat House that makes this a 5 star stay.

My sister and I enjoyed a lovely 4 days at the Oat House. The welcoming basket with food and goodies plus fresh flowers was totally over the top. The house is great with plenty of room... we mostly stayed in the kitchen, sitting room area. The Aga was an experience but everything we cooked was delicious. A very cozy home. Snowshill is a quaint, beautiful Cotswolds town... there are walking trails with amazing views right across the road. We visited the pub a few steps away and spent time at Snowshill Manor, Sudeley Castle, Broadway Tower, Broadway the town, Chipping Camden and Stratford-upon-Avon. Highly recommend!

This is a very nice cottage indeed. The master bedroom suite is large and comfortable, the other two double bedrooms are compact but adequate. The kitchen is wonderful, well equipped and really the hub of the house. The sitting room is comfortable and elegant in a relaxed country way and the small garden is ideal for alfresco summer meals. The area is picture postcard perfect with great walks from the door. All in all we had a lovely break and if you are thinking of the Cotswolds and this cottage is the right size it would be very hard to do better

We loved our stay at our Oat house. It’s set in a beautiful village on a quiet lane with plenty of space to relax and enjoy ourselves. We enjoyed dinner one of our evenings in the pretty shaded garden behind the house. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was amazing and the common areas were conducive to great conversation.. We took some enjoyable walks in the evenings around the village. The house was clean and nicely decorated. This was our second year straight staying at a Rural Retreat house and we were not disappointed. Thanks for such a memorable experience.

Beautiful location to stay, with the must see sights of the Cotswolds within short travelling distance. Stayed here as a large family group of 7, including two young children (3 nights, long weekend) for mums 70th birthday celebration. Amazing property, beautifully presented and comfortable. Made a special occasion even more special creating happy memories. Master bedroom and en-suite were huge! Lovely large kitchen area with big table perfect for entertaining a large family group. Off street parking for two cars, lovely garden. It truly felt like a 'home' rather than a sterile holiday rental. Fantastic welcome hamper. Broadway just up the road, lovely to stroll around and it had great fish and chips to take back to the holiday home. Lavendar farm and Snowshill Manor right on your doorstep. Spent a day at Bourton-on-the-Water which is beautiful plus plenty to keep young family amused. Model Villlage, Motor Museum, Birdland etc. Second day went to Lower Slaugther and walked to Upper Slaughter and back followed by pub lunch - beautiful location and walk. Our first visit to the Cotswolds, and first time using Rural Retreats - would highly recommend both. The Aga was out of action after the previous guests stay and Rural Retreats called me as we were driving to arrive to appologise and did everything they could to help. They had even arranged a small electric oven as a replacement for us. As we were only there a short time we didn't require the Aga anyway - but great customer service from the team at Rural Retreats. We all had a fantastic time and would love to return!

The cottage was in a lovely peaceful village location. The cottage itself was lovely and spacious and our adult son enjoyed the snug! There was an amazing hamper on arrival with lots of lovely produce some local and was a great addition to the enjoyment of our stay. We loved the Aga as well in the spacious but cosy kitchen. Overall we had a lovely stay at Oat House.

Very comfortable. Lovely hamper:

A wonderful property we would definitely book to go again. We have used Rural Retreats for many years and this is one of our favourites !

Excellent accomodation, although the 2 single beds very small, and not that comfortable. It would help if the keys were marked, maybe with matching colour on the lock? Is the light switch in downstairs shower room legal, maybe it should be a pull cord? Maybe a mop in shower romms

Great location right in the village and really well presented house. Plenty of space for 7 with a nice large warm kitchen where everyone can sit around the table and chat.

The house was just perfect for 7 adults before and after our sons wedding! Well presented, clean and great facilities!

A perfect retreat for our celebration w/e! A lovely house in a beautiful location, warm and comfortable with everything we needed.

Cosy, spacious, clean, nice welcome hamper, beautiful location, great walks.

Excellent location for a weekend break. Very clean property which was well appointed. Two minor niggles for us were the lack of a shower in the en suite and the carpeted floor in the en suite. Very much a personal preference, but I find carpet in a bathroom to be unhygienic.

Excellent stay at Oat House. Quaint, cosy, warm, well equipped for a very restful few days rest bite.
Lovely welcome hamper which went down a treat, so thank you Rural Retreats I will definitely be booking again.
The only negative was there was no shower in the main bedroom ensuite, but a small negative in a lovely cottage.

Excellent holiday cottage, very cosy yet spacious. Clean and inviting. The welcome pack exceptional, thank you! We had a fantastic time! Will definitely return, hopefully!!
