• "We loved our 3 x night stay in The Small House."

  It is the perfect size for 4 x adults & is beautifully furnished throughout. Extremely well equipped & comfortable with loads of character & old world charm, it really is a credit to it,s owners. The village itself is in a great location to explore further afield & we found the locals & the local pub v.friendly. The only slight downside was the lack of the usual “welcome pack”.ie no milk for tea/coffee, but this was a minor inconvenience & we look forward to returning sometime in the future.

  Thank you so much for the lovely feedback Keith, we look forward to welcoming you back... so many people get grocery deliveries these days so like to leave the "bubbles" as a welcome drink which we hope you enjoyed. Property Owner

• ""We had a truly unforgettable stay at the beautiful Cotswolds cottage called the Small House!"

  From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cottage is cozy yet spacious, with every detail carefully considered to make our stay comfortable. The location is ideal, nestled in a charming village with picturesque views and walking trails right outside the door. The decor was tasteful and in keeping with the Cotswolds charm, and we especially loved relaxing by the fireplace in the evenings. The host was friendly, attentive, and quick to respond to any questions. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with access to all the magic the Cotswolds has to offer, this is the place to stay. We can’t wait to come back!"

  So glad you and the family enjoyed your stay, it is a very peaceful and cosy cottage , so pleased you liked it. Look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner

• "We had a very comfortable and wonderful stay at The Small House, which is well decorated and thought out."

  Everyone was catered for and comfortable. Sarah and John are warm and wonderful hosts to deal with and immediately sorted out a slight issue we came across and treated us really well. Must mention the pretty and peaceful garden. It was a pleasure to sit outside and just breathe! Great Rissington is a great place to explore other parts of the Cotswolds. Bourton on the water only being a short easy drive away and lovely to get back to the cottage for the peace and natural beauty around. Dog walks are beautiful. It was a multi generation week away and we all loved it and would go back again.

  It was everything I could have asked for in a Cotswolds cottage. Decorated so beautifully, an amazing back garden, and fully equipped with everything you could need for a week away. Great Rissington is an ideal location. Off the beaten path so away from the tourists, but less that a10 minute drive to Bourton-on-the-Water and accessible to all other Cotswolds villages. Our hosts were very helpful and easy to deal with. Can’t recommend enough.

• "The Small House was absolutely perfect for our visit."

  We are a group of friends who love nothing better than sitting round with a brew or a wine and having a good chat- which we were able to do throughout our stay in the cosy comfort of the lounge. The fixtures and fittings are much higher quality than you might expect in a holiday home, with the most comfortable beds in the world! When we stayed the weather was COLD but despite being an old stone cottage, the heating and the Aga kept us warm. We would recommend the Small House to anyone wishing to explore the Cotswolds, with Bourton on the Water only a few minutes drive away.

• "The Small House was a fantastic base for our week long break."

  The house was just as described, a characterful, comfortable from the 17th century. Although it's clearly an old building all of the fittings and features were modern and worked perfectly, without compromising the houses character. This was especially true of the kitchen and two bathrooms. The garden is beautiful and our two dogs loved it! The village doesn't have a shop, but does have a fantastic pub just a very short walk from the house. The owner, Sarah, was very helpful and easy to contact. There are numerous walks available starting from the village. They give great access to the Rissingtons, Bourton on the water etc. Great house, I would highly recommend it to anyone.

  For us, a group of female friends from Germany, it was exactly what we expected a countryside cottage to be - historic, cosy, with beautiful but state of the art interior. We especially enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen and beautiful garden and many nice little bits and pieces like extra-comfy blankets on the sofas, a welcome package including sparkling wine, Molton-Brown-toiletries etc. When we had a minor problem in one bedroom which was definitely not Sarah´s fault she even send some chocolates around for our inconvenience. Additionally, Great Rissington is perfectly located for seeing the beautiful Cotswolds villages and surrounding towns. We hope to come back!

• "On locating the cottage we drove past twice and ended up parking in the road and walking along to find it due to the fact that the name plate was almost invisible when we eventually found it on the pillar, and didnt want to drive on to the wrong property ."

  I would definitely change that name plate which is covered in foliage. There needs to be more lighting on the ceilings in the living room and the kitchen, similar to the dining room. There were comments in the visitors book regarding this, as it was far too dark in those rooms. The cottage overall was lovely, although you could not walk up the steps at the back in the garden as they badly needed trimming back, not a problem for us as the weather was not good anyway.

  Thank you for the feedback Valerie. It is a cottage built in 1670, with mullion windows . We don't like large ceiling lights, more of a cosy cottage feel with side lights and lamps .There is additional lighting under the recess above the Aga and under the cooker hood in. the kitchen. Point noted re the name plate , we will cut the climbing Hydrangea back. best Sarah Property Owner

  Hi Christine, Glad you found the house lovely. Sorry to hear one of your group found the stairs steep.

  The house is clean, warm, comfortable and everything you will need for an easy holiday has been supplied. The welcome basket was much appreciated. Our rescue collie made herself so at home, sleeping happily on her bed downstairs and introducing herself to a dog walking neighbour, that it seemed like she had been there before! The weather was not good enough to enjoy the garden but it is a lovely space. The little house feels more like a loved home than a holiday let, the duvets and bed linens were first class and the shower was wonderful we all had a wonderful week's sleep. The kitchen was lovely and had everything we needed, it helped massively that there were some supplies in the larder. The dining room, table beautifully laid upon arrival, was a bonus. The village has no shop but popping into Bourton in November was easy enough and Ocado delivery to the house was very successful.

I have a Sky system at home and have had for many years since Sky started up and I was one of their "Pioneers" so I am not an idiot by any means but that system nearly drove me to distraction.

Village is very quiet with a friendly welcome awaiting in the local inn... Only two very minor gripes; we're not sure guests, who are not particularly tech-savvy, get on with Now TV for terrestrial TV channels (as there seems to be no TV aerial?) and the patio area of the garden could do with a proper sweep or spring-clean...maybe with the onset of spring this maybe on the agenda anyway...

  Set in an idyllic location with far reaching views, walks from the doorstep and within easy access of neighbouring towns like Bourton-on-the-Water it’s an ideal base for exploring the area. The owners do ask that you strip beds & take out the rubbish on the day of departure, ahead of a 10AM early check out. We were happy to do this but if we were to make one comment it would be to perhaps allow for a slightly later check out to reflect the request and make things a little less rushed for guests. That said, it was a real treat to stay at this gorgeous property. Would very happily return!

We all slept amazingly well and found the size of the property just perfect. The hosts provided thorough information and were very helpful. With regards to stripping beds and putting towels in the bath, for us this is common courtesy wherever you stay but considering we are still battling covid we fully support this. Thanks again and see you soon.

  We are so pleased you had a lovely stay and appreciate the feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back. very best Sarah Property Owner

• "A really beautiful property that had everything you could wish for provided."

  A few simple changes could make it a totally dog secure place. Over all I would say, a fantastic place. ( mind you're head) old cottages do have head room problems.

  Thank you Robert, much appreciated, thanks for taking the time out to review. Very best Sarah Property Owner

• "The Small House was absolutely beautiful, quaint, cosy and homely and was exceptionally well equipped, it was like home from home."

  The owners have paid such great attention to detail in the house and we were welcomed with a lovely and thoughtful welcome pack when we arrived (thank you) The location was just perfect for getting out and about in the Cotswolds with superb local walks right on the door step. The Lamb Inn just a short walk away does the most amazing food and the staff were so welcoming and friendly (dog friendly too) There was nothing nicer than to return to The Small House after a long day, light a log fire and sit in with our feet up and a glass of wine. We will definitely return.

  Thank you Jayne, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay at the Small House and the surrounding area. We look forward to welcoming you back, it is a home to enjoy in every season. Very best Sarah Property Owner

• "Great little property."

  Clean and tidy with all amenties to hand. Lamb Inn 500 yards away is a superb little pub, food is fantastic. Gardener very helpful. Drive way is a little tight. Didn't like the fact that you had to strip the bedding when you pay over £200 per night. Overall nice place

  Thank you Andrew for taking time the time out to review ,it is very helpful feedback It is great to have a super pub in walking distance of the house Hope to welcome you back in the future. Very best Sarah Property Owner
