Christmas in the Cotswolds
Perfect size for two families. Excellent location from the centre and all amenities. Parking was quite tricky to navigate along a public footpath to the property. It clearly stated in the welcome folder that fortnightly bookings "the housekeeper will come in, mid term to change the beds, or if you prefered, they'd leave you a change of linen". This didn't happen. We stayed from Friday 15th December to Friday 29th December. The house could of done with some suitable wine glasses. Apart from this, it had everything you need, home from home.

Beautiful cottage right on the river front
This property is located right in the heart of the village on the banks of the river Windrush. It is very picturesque. Passing tourists loved the cottage and many took pictures of it and we felt proud to be staying there. The kitchen was very well kitted out with everything you could need. The biggest problem was the parking which was very tricky to access and involved driving onto a very busy pedestrian walkway along the river. Luckily all the local attractions were in easy walking distance and there were lots of nearby places to eat and drink and great walking trails but beware as some trails are very muddy in parts. There was a hairdryer although the blurb said there wasn't.

Great Cotswolds holiday
We had a great stay at Fairlee House. The house is very well equipped, the rooms are spacious & the decor is pretty. The location is prime, although getting in & out of the parking can be a challenge in peak times as the driveway is across a pedestrian walkway. (This is a small issue for staying in such a prime location) we would definitely book here again.
