"This home is stunning."
Was a lovely little home to escape to for our weeks holiday. When we arrived there was a cute little note welcoming us, along with chocolates and fizz in the fridge. The owners came to check on us to make sure everything was okay (we had been out exploring for the day and missed them) but the card left was lovely. I will say the bathroom does need a net at the window as you are able to wave to passers by when using the toilet haha. I would also advise that if you are taller than 6ft then you may need a helmet as the ceilings are low and my partner did have to duck to make sure he didn’t continuously hit his head and the stairs are very narrow, and can be difficult to walk down. However fully appreciate that the owners cannot change this - this also wouldn’t prevent us from returning as this home is beautiful. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your home!

"Really lovely and cosy cottage which was ideal especially given the weather we had."
We really enjoyed the log burner and found the whole experience to be perfect for our four night stay. Only improvement we could think of was we where very short on places to store food in the kitchen. I’m sure most people mostly eat out but given the weather we did have a good few nights in. We loved the little extra personal touches in the cottage which made it feel like a home rather than a hotel. Also a big thank you for the chocolates and persecco much appreciated
Thank you for your very kind feedback. We are delighted that you had such an enjoyable stay. Thanks for your comment about room for storage - it's tricky, unfortunately, as there isn't really any more unused space available. Bob and Barbara Property Owner

"We enjoyed our holiday in this cosy well equipped little cottage and we were delighted with the owners gifts on arrival - milk, chocolates and prosecco!"
Thank you. The accommodation was accurately described and we did initially have some difficulty in negotiating the stairs and shower/bath, but perfected our techniques over the week! If I have to list something negative it would be the lack of cleaning products to clean up before leaving.
Many thanks for your kind feedback. And thank you so much for cleaning up before leaving!! That is in fact not something that we ask guests to do (although we do hope that they will have washed the dishes), as it is always professionally cleaned between guests - so that is why we do not go over the top in providing cleaning products and equipment.

"Gorgeous little cottage!"
Nestled in a little quiet cluster you will find Dove Cottage just before or after approaching a bridge covering a trickling river. Peace and quiet with the sounds of the resident doves. Everything you need is inside and a wonderful outdoor area for breakfast, lunch, evening drinks and dinner. Beautiful stay.
Thank you for your very kind feedback. We are delighted that you had such an enjoyable stay. Bob and Barbara Property Owner

"Small and cost cottage with almost all amenities you need."
Beautiful surroundings with many things to see (Roman villas, Sudeley Castle) and many nice walks within a few miles. The Blackhorse Inn deserves a special mention, very nice place with excellent food. Had an excellent stay at Naunton!
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. Bob and Barbara Property Owner

"Very well provided and maintained property in a lovely Cotswolds village."
There was a TV problem which the owner corrected as quickly as possible. The cottage is situated in an attractive but unspoiled part of the Cotswolds.
Thank you for your very kind feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. Bob and Barbara Property Owner

"An excellent base for exploring the Cotswolds."
We spent 4 nights at Dove Cottage and in addition to some enjoyable walks around Naunton itself we had trips out to Broadway Tower and Snowshill (National Trust); Chedworth Roman Villa (NT) and Cirencester; Hidcote (also NT) and Chipping Campden; and so made good use of our NT membership.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are very glad you had a great holiday here. Bob and Barbara Property Owner

"A very pleasant, well maintained property with all the amenities provided."
Slightly awkward access to the bath/shower but probably only to be expected in an older property. Would definitely recommend this cottage. A delightful location.
Thank you for your very kind feedback. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Yes, unfortunately people were shorter in those days! Bob and Barbara. Property Owner

"A delightful cosy cottage"
Thanks Kerry! Property Owner

"Dove cottage is a truly beautiful space."
The cottage is quaint and well appointed. We had all we needed for our 8 day stay. The hosts communicated well. Everything was easy and hassle free. The bottle of bubbles and chocolates were a lovely touch. We are sorry we missed you when you visited.
Thank you for your very kind feedback. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Bob and Barbara. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage with masses of character, located in a beautiful, quiet village."
Property was clean and very comfortable and a perfect base for exploring the local area.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We are very pleased that you enjoyed the cottage so much. Bob and Barbara Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at Dove Cottage."
On arrival, we were welcomed by fresh milk, chocolates and prosecco. The owner later arrived and made sure we had everything we needed. The House was lovely and clean and the facilities were excellent. The only recommendation I would say would be to get a more comfortable mattress in the main bedroom. Otherwise I couldn't complain. The other nice part of the property was the outside seating area, it was so peaceful and if you want to sit and read a book then this place is perfect.

"Lovely cosy cottage in a great village location."
Very well equipped and comfortable. Some great walking from the door and the village pub is always very welcoming. The owners were warm and welcoming, whether in person or on the phone prior to arrival. This is an old, character property and the details do highlight that and the inherent features that some today may find different or difficult. The stairs are steep but there are plenty of hand rails. There is only a hand-held shower over the freestanding slipper bath (you can’t stand up) but that adds to them charm of the cottage. Some ceilings are sloped and low and give the cottage extra character. In terms of the parking space, I got a large estate car in but appreciate it is tight but there is plenty of on-road parking if you prefer.
Many thanks for your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. Bob and Barbara. Property Owner

"Attractive cottage, well equipped and location in Naunton was good."
Steep stairs and bath close to eaves but not a real problem. In addition to small parking space we found it easy to park a few steps away near the church. Pub friendly. Owner very helpful.
Many thanks for your kind feedback. Bob and Barbara Property Owner

"Small lovely cottage in a peaceful village , central for visiting other areas ."
Extremely helpful and accommodating owners would not hesitate to recommend.
Mnay thanks for your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed the cottage. Bob and Barbara Property Owner

"This cottage is beautiful,located in a chocolate box type village in a beautiful valley."
Small but pleasantly spacious with everything you need for a self catering week away. The only drawback is the bathroom, being in the eves of the house you need to be under 5ft 6, there is also no shower, just a shower head in the bath which is difficult if again you on the larger side of life. That being said you will be very comfortable here and you will enjoy your stay.
Many thanks for your feedback - we are glad you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately people were shorter in the sixteenth century! As you know, we do try to make it very clear on the website about the low ceilings and, fortunately, most of our taller guests do find them manageable. Property Owner

"We loved our stay in the beautiful Dove Cottage."
It felt like such a proper Cotswolds’ experience and the village was stunning. The bubbly and chocolates on arrival were a wonderful surprise. Bob and Barbara were very helpful, including when we changed our minds about the bed configuration at the last minute. Bob popped over to welcome us but other than that we were left to enjoy the cottage independently. Instructions were very informative. We also made friends with a delightful elderly cat next door called Dave; my three year old adored him! The stairs were steep, as expected in an old property, but didn’t phase us or our toddler. The parking was fine for our smaller car. Overall, a wonderful stay with lovely hosts. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your very kind feedback. We are glad you had such a good stay. Bob and Barbara Property Owner
-
"Great property, beautiful location."
The stairs are an issue if infirm but what a great find for us.
Many thanks for your kind feedback - Glad you enjoyed it! Bob and Barbara Property Owner
-
"Lovely cosy cottage."
The only very minor bit of feedback is the parking space is tight, fine for is but would be difficult with a big car, but despite that, a lovely stay and will definitely return
Thank you for your kind feedback - we are glad you enjoyed the cottage. Yes, the parking can be a bit tight but fortunately you can of course park in the road immediately outside. Bob and Barbara Property Owner
-
"A nice small cottage in an excellent location."
Well fitted with plenty of hot water and a comfortable bed on the second floor. The stairs are steep and headroom in the bathroom and kitchen is an issue if you are over 5’10’’. The owners are helpful. There is no shop in the village but an excellent pub.
Many thanks for your feedback. We do try to make it very clear on the website about the low ceilings and the steep stairs. Unfortunately building regulations were different in the sixteenth century! We hope you had a great holiday. Bob and Barbara. Property Owner
-
"Beautiful located in a small village."
Property owner was so kind to come by and see if everything was OK and was also very quick in fixing the toilet. Improvements can be found in better mattress for the double bed, more glasses/mugs and saucers.
Many thanks for your feedback and for your comment about the mattress. We will get a new one! Bob and Barbara Property Owner
-
"Beautiful cottage, perfectly placed in fabulous surroundings."
Every comfort provided, and the hosts left us a bottle of Prosecco on our arrival, which was perfect as it was my birthday.
Thank you so much for your very kind feedback. We are delighted that you had such a good stay. Bob and Barbara Property Owner
-
"I had a lovely week."
The cottage had everything I needed and was spotlessly clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. And the owners thoughtfully left a bottle of wine and some chocolates as a welcome gift. The kitchen had fairly low headroom which made cooking rather challenging for a tall person like me, but it was manageable. Overall my experience was very positive. I would recommend this cottage.
Thank you so much for your very kind feedback. We are delighted that you had such a good week. Bob and Barbara Property Owner

Character cottage with all you need. Great log burner

"Dove Cottage is a lovely place to stay and in a great location for walks and sightseeing."
The local pub is in walking distance which is very handy. The cottage is both spotless and well equipped and we enjoyed everything about our stay. Thank you Barbara and Bob..
Thank you so much. We're glad you enjoyed your stay. Bob and Barbara Property Owner
-
"This is a cosy cottage in a gorgeous village surrounded by horse breeding/training country."
My only complaint is about all the low beams! Especially in the bathroom; otherwise, it is a pretty, comfortable, and well-equipped cottage.
Many thanks. Glad you liked the cottage. We do try to make it clear about the beams - as you know, we explain about them on the website, and include photos of the bathroom to make it as clear as possible. Unfortunately, we just can't make the ceilings any higher! Bob and Barbara Property Owner
-
"We had everything we would need at this quaint cottage… your little touches from the welcome package and the fire lighting kit and notes made it perfect."
Its location is ideal for exploring, with a good local pub and access to many walks.. we will definitely be back!
Many thanks. We're glad you had such a good time! Bob and Barbara Property Owner
-
"A beautiful character cottage in a lovely, secluded Cotswold village."
Our only comment is that from the listing we didn't fully appreciate how low the ceiling is in the 1st floor bathroom which does make comfortable use of both the toilet and bath rather difficult. Otherwise, a superb location and we had the most wonderful stay.
Many thanks. We're gad you enjoyed your stay. We do try to make it clear about the low ceiling, with an explanation on the website and photos of the bathroom to make it as clear as possible. Unfortunately, we just can't make the ceilings any higher! Bob and Barbara Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at dove cottage and naunton was just lovely!"
Cottage was compact but had all we needed.. a shower would be an added bonus and the stairs are steep and would be hard to manage for some people ! All in all a lovely stay! Thankyou
-
"Lovely cottage in the beautiful village of Naunton."
Very peaceful and tucked away but yet within easy driving distance everything the Cotswolds has to offer. Very clean and cosy inside . Bed linen of very good quality and the upstairs bed very comfortable indeed. Nice little terraced garden and gorgeous views. Lovely to hear the horses clipping by in the mornings. Bob and Barbara are wonderful hosts and we will be back
Thank you so much. We're very glad you enjoyed your stay. Bob and Barbara Property Owner

"Dove Cottage was just perfect."
The property was well presented, clean and comfortable. The location was superb, Naunton was a beautiful village, and a great base for exploring the Cotswolds.

"We have just spent a lovely week at Dove Cottage in Naunton."
We were after a total get away from it all, relaxing break from our busy lives and we certainly had that at Dove Cottage. On arrival we were greeted with milk in the fridge, chocolates & prosecco. A nice touch by the owner. The property is well designed for a small Cottage. We were asked by the owner if we would like the bed in the loft space to be be made into a King size rather than two singles before we arrived. There is a comfortable double on the second floor. It's a very clean and well organised property. Naunton is a beautiful village with a very good pub within walking distance. Stow & Bourton are the closest villages for shops. Both are great for eating out. We took our 20 month old Jack Russell with us, who throughly enjoyed the walks and meeting the many horses in the local fields. We left the dogs 'Colin the Catapillar' and the owner has very kindly posted him back to us. A lovely break in a lovely part of the world.
Thank you so much. We're delighted that you had such a good time. We hope Colin is well. Bob and Barbara Property Owner

"A lovely cottage in a magical situation."

"We had a great time in Naunton staying at Dove Cottage."
The location is excellent, with beautiful countryside and villages all around, and many nearby places of interest to visit. Dove Cottage is lovely, but the stairs and the bath provide problems for those who have mobility problems. However, this is made clear in the property details and did not come as surprise. We were greeted with a bottle of Prosecco and a box of chocolates, which was a lovely touch. We would very happily return for future visits.
-
"Had a wonderful stay in Naunton exploring the surrounding area."
Lovely friendly place to visit and local pub within walking distance. Cottage had all the facilities you could wish for on a short break with a lovely log burner for chilly evenings. Definitely recommend anyone looking for a quiet wind down midweek or weekend break.
Many thanks. We're glad you enjoyed your stay. Bob and Barbara Property Owner
-
"What a beautiful cottage."
We fell in love with this gorgeous village, quiet and friendly. The care and attention from the owners was excellent- fizz, chocolates and milk left for us which was so thoughtful. The cottage was beautifully clean and well equipped and just perfect for a stay in the Cotswolds. A check in from Bob was a great touch on Saturday morning- caring and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
-
"The cottage is delightful."
The log burning stove makes the house very warm. Bob and Barbara could not have been more helpful. In general the facilities in the house are excellent. Would be great to have a shower but understand by the size and lay out of the cottage this is not possible. One very small thing i did find the bedroom at the top of the house was a bit cold despite turning the heating up. But all in all a lovely cottage and we would happily stay there again
Thanks so much. We're glad you enjoyed your stay. If you come back, and still find the top bedroom cold, then do please let us know straight away - it is normally very warm and we can adjust it as necessary. Bob and Barbara Property Owner
-
"We loved our stay in Dove Cottage, thank you!"

"Lovely little cottage , situated in a picturesque village."
Ideally located for walks to Guiting Power, Bourton on the water to name a few. Owners were very welcoming. Nice clean property. Would recommend. There's a local pub which is dog friendly and very welcoming too.

"Beautiful, well equipped, cottage in a pretty village."
It was extremely peaceful. Being able to walk in any direction was a bonus.

"Another wonderful break at our favourite spot in the Cotswolds!"
Lots of walking and of course the obligatory stop-off to the pubs along the way. The weather was good to us so the views around were perfect. Thank you so much again for the fizz and chocs! We hope we can come and stay again at Dove Cottage soon!
-
"We very much enjoyed our stay in your lovely cottage in beautiful Naunton."
Everthing we needed was provided and thought about. We had delicious lunches at the Kingham Plough, the Wild Rabbit and the Horse & Groom at Oddington. The pups loved the walks over the fields.

"Bob and Barbara's cottage was a lovely place to stay for a weekend away in the Cotswolds."
It's nicely located and has access to everywhere you'd need to go. The cottage was spotless and decorated very nicely, underfloor heating was especially nice after coming in from freezing temperatures outside! Would happily recommend and stay again.

"A lovely place to stay!"
A nice quiet little village in the heart of the Cotswolds. We loved being in a central location and there was easy access to all the main towns. The house was very clean and well maintained. Really enjoyed our relaxing week there.
-
"Dove Cottage was an absolute joy."
It made for the perfect countryside retreat. We loved how cosy and authentic it was while containing so many modern features such as a fully equipped kitchen and underfloor heating. The location was wonderful for a place where you could truly escape from it all. We will surely return!
-
"Our stay in Dove cottage was great."
We loved putting up here for the time we did. Bob was absolutely attentive to our calls, queries and very helpful too in the best possible way. Attention has been given to the finest detail in the amenities provided and this was a hit with us. The quality of everything - household wares, linens and utensils was incredible. Anyone would enjoy staying here and not to mention it’s perfect serene location and neighbourhood.
-
"Amazing quiet little place, wonderful for the family."
Beautiful village with plenty of scenic walks
-
"This cottage is in such a fantastic location in the Cotswolds."
Naunton is right in the centre of everything and if you have a car you can arrive to Bourton-on-the-water in 10 minutes. There are also beautiful walks through the countryside on your doorstep and the town has a wonderful small community feel. The house itself is so quaint. We were there for Christmas and the hosts had left a huge basket of food including chocolates, wine, cheese and bubbly. We would definitely come back! They made us feel so welcome.
-
"Lovely, cosy, immaculately clean cottage in a beautiful, unspoilt, and exceptionally friendly village with a very lively and welcoming local pub."
-
"We had a lovely stay at Dove cottage."
Prosecco and chocolates on arrival was a nice touch. The cottage was very clean and you can see that the host goes to an effort to make it a nice place for visitors to stay in. The village of Naunton was also lovely.
-
"Dove cottage was a little slice of heaven, as was Naunton."
We could have not asked for a better experience. Super cozy, surreal location, and an overall special place. We enjoyed all of the local walking paths, the great pub down the road, and just sitting out front playing Scrabble with our kids (12 & 14). Our kids LOVED it- as did we. We all have said we WILL return someday. Thank you. Also, the owner popped by the day after we arrived to make sure all was 'good'. That was much appreciated.
-
"Wonderful and cozy little cottage."
Kitchen equipment perfect. Beds very comfortable. Nice little garden. Very quiet. Very friendly and helpful owners. We will definitely come again.
-
"We had a lovely stay in Dove Cottage."
When you walk out off the driveway, you're at the prettiest spot in Naunton. There are lots of nice things to do in the area. We loved going to the farm park with our little boy and to the Bathsford arboretum. The cottage is so cosy and everything was provided for and Bob was very helpful and quick to respond to our texts.
-
"Beautiful cottage."
Very clean. Luxurious towels. Fizz in the fridge. Lovely local pub and fantastic walks all around. So peaceful. Would highly recommend it for a romantic break.

"Homely cottage with great amenities in a fabulous setting."
Wonderful place to recharge our batteries.

"Dove Cottage was amazing!"
Our family felt like we were home as soon as we stepped in the beautiful blue door. The cottage is cosy, charming, comfortable, and impeccably clean. All of ones needs are accounted for by the owners - from nightlights to torches to hair dryers and welcome gifts. They have truly thought of it all. Additionally, the kitchen has all you need to prepare a nice meal. If you're not in the mood to cook, we highly recommend the pubs in the local area. The Black Horse and the Hollow Bottom were both friendly and served excellent meals. Situated right off the stream and amidst numerous trekking routes, we were in heaven. The village is lovely too. Do take some time to explore it! Bottom line: if you are looking for a wonderful cottage in a gorgeous area, look no further!
-

The home was clean and had everything we needed. If I came back to Cotwolds I would definitely stay again!

"The cottage was ideal for our weekend break, perched in the midst of the Cotswolds and surrounded by beautiful countryside."
Conveniently there is also very welcoming pub within close walking distance! The house was quaint on the outside and modern, clean and well-appointed in the inside. A lovely touch was the bottle of bubbles and the chocolate Easter bunny to welcome us. Felt relaxed from start to finish.

"Beautiful cottage in a lovely corner of the Cotswolds."
We had a fantastic weekend stay in Dove Cottage! It was perfect for five of us (friends) and was spotlessly clean. The cottage has a lovely cosy feel and is beautifully finished with everything you need. The beds were so comfortable, too! The location is perfect for everything. We enjoyed a great walk along the Cotswolds Way to Broadway Tower (which starts just a few hundred metres from the cottage) and it was great to be able to walk to Broadway's lovely shops and pubs in just a few minutes. I'd highly recommend a stay at Dove Cottage!

-
"Thank you. We have had such a lovely stay here, our boys don’t want to leave."
They love the underfloor heating in the bathroom. We really enjoyed the walk from Naunton across the fields to Guiting Power. Slightly caught out by the clocks changing but managed to find our way back in the dark. Amazing cottage, comfortable and clean, thank you for the prosecco! Enjoyed a long, long game of Monopoly by the fire. We will be back!

Naunton is positioned on either sides of the River Windrush, making it very picturesque as any of its neighbours in the hills between Stow and Cheltenham. Mentioned in the Doomsday Book as Niwetone. The hill overlooking the town is great for climbing up and viewing the church and the village. The Black Horse Inn is the local pub which provides great views into the heart of the Cotswolds.

November and the log-burner is being serviced on Thursday afternoon 7th
November. The owner will be present at both times and neither is expected
to affect the guests significantly.
