"It was a pleasure to stay at the beautiful Thorn Cottage with my wife and two young children (3 year old and 6 week old) The cottage has been renovated to a very high standard and is situated in the attractive town of Fairford."
The host went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay, including installing a stair gate for our peace of mind. On arrival there was a lovely welcome package and we were pleased to discover that the cottage is very well equipped. We can’t rate this cottage highly enough. Thank you for having us.

"The cottage was way beyond our expectations, finished to a very high standard, with all you could wish for and more, immaculate inside and a nice little welcome pack, which was enjoyed."
The information pack is well detailed giving you all the information regarding local amenities and important information. The cottage is in a good location, 5 mins walk to the village center and a 30 min drive to many of the attractions around the Cotswold's. Would we return to Thorn Cottage? A definite Yes ❤
Thank you Shane for such a wonderful review. We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay at Thorn Cottage and we would be delighted to welcome you back in future! Property Owner

"A beautiful little cottage exquisitely furnished and decorated with no expense spared."
Lovely bathroom with a superb big walk in shower. We've been renting cottages for at least forty years and this is right up there with the best. The only criticism and it's not really a fault is the stone spiral staircase could be a problem for people that have problems walking including small children. By the way thanks for the welcome pack and the lovely card.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review David, it was our pleasure to have you stay and we're so glad you enjoyed your time at Thorn Cottage! Property Owner
