A fabulous little cottage retreat, with a lot of thought given to providing everything required for a perfect holiday. Thank you !
Wonderful little cottage in a peaceful area of the country. Will definitely come back.
Lovely little cottage, very well equipped, we will definitely come back
Everything about it was 5 star ! We loved our week in such a lovely part of the U.K. The Old Bothy is very small but great for 2 people . A very calm and peaceful village . 👍
Eine mit viel Liebe und gutem Geschmack eingerichtete "Schutzhütte". Die Küche ist bestens ausgestattet und das Bett hervorragend. Leider konnten wir nicht draußen sitzen (Anfang Oktober). Wir kommen bestimmt zu einer anderen Jahreszeit noch einmal wieder.
Very high quality accommodation with everything that you would need for a relaxing break. The phone signal is not great - not the fault of the holiday cottage but tricky for us as we needed to keep in touch with home. Good COVID precautions and it felt very safe. We appreciated that local info had to be removed due to COVID precautions but we do like having local info available (such as walks or tourist info) as it saves time having to do research from scratch. We would happily return and would recommend.
A well appointed ground floor apartment in a beautiful and quiet conservation area. There is a lot to see and do within twenty miles, and footpaths through lovely countryside almost from the door. We would happily go there again.
We have stayed in the bothy many times and will continue to return as it’s ideally placed for exploring both the Cotswolds and Warwickshire. Since the broadband has been upgraded we love it even more.
Gorgeous little country hideaway, the cottage is perfectly formed for two people. We would definitely stay here again.
We have returned to Old Bothy many many times. It is quiet, well maintained and well equipped. In a lovely quiet village the perfect place to ‘get away from it all’.
It was a lovely break in a small but excellent little cottage, ideal for two. I would have given it 5 stars, two minor problems tho, we had no signal on either of our mobiles on o2 or BT, there was a mobile and charger in the lounge, it would not change, Secondly the broadband was very iffy and came from the owners house, I recommend that they install a landline and router to solve these problems, communication is important.
We have stayed many times at this lovely cottage. However this time there was a major issue. We have given 5 stars as the situation was delt with so efficiency by RR and the extremely kind owners. A potentially difficult situation was resolved. I have no doubt this well maintained cottage will be a happy discovery for any one who stays in the future. We will be back.
Everything we required as usual (except the weather!)
Brilliant as per last New Year. Superb hamper, excellent accommodation, peaceful location.
the only reason why not 5 stars was the fridge had not been put on max so the milk was of , also we thought it would have been nice to of sorced some of the goods in the basket but we did not know where you purchased them from
Very compact and clean good hamper on arrival.
We have returned 6 times to this quiet small but well equipped bolt hole. Always a welcome respite from the stress of life.
Very clean well kept cottage in a lovely quiet location with a lovely sunny patio, however to make it a 5 star experience suggest more seating in living area, even a footstool as one sofa for two people not ideal. Also very little crockery and knives,forks,spoons so, had to use dishwasher more than we would have liked.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
