• "We had a lovely stay at the Wash House, and yes the property is down a farm track, a very long farm track (be prepared for a bumpy ride)."

  All that said, we saw a resident barn owl on 2 occasions, buzzards sat on the ground, deer, as well as a host of other wildlife even though this was the 1st week of February. The property itself was just right for the 2 of us. It was lovely to light the log burner of an evening, extra logs currently at £3 per basket, this includes kindling too. Comfy bed and a lovely shower completed a very nice stay. Personally we prefer a bigger bath towel but that is our preference. We were greeted by the owner who informed us of a few local things, and we had been left a lovely Victoria Sandwich sponge cake, milk, tea, coffee etc. which was very nice, and greatly appreciated. Even though we visited in February, we found plenty to do, as many things are closed at this time of year. The weather was kind to us also, so all in all a very pleasant week. Thank you.

  It is the perfect place to get away from it all with fantastic views. The hosts were helpful and the facilities in The Wash House were great. The quality of finish on the furnishings was high and added to the warm and welcoming feel. Looking forward to returning.

• "Loved our stay at the Wash House :-) Perfect size for the two of us, everything we needed was provided."

  The shower is amazing, like standing in a rainstorm (but a hot one), the bed was huge and very comfortable. Best bit was the amazing view, we wrapped up and sat and watched the sunset nearly every night. Made the most of the woodstove on the final two nights. Adrian and Helen were friendly and welcoming, and the cake and and milk were a lovely touch. Good walks to the village, where the small shop can be recommended for things you need, but forgot to bring with you or buy elsewhere :-) We didn't go out to eat, local hostelries had (for us, at least) erratic opening hours and we didn't want to leave the place in the evenings. Really recommend The Wash House.

• "I have to say, that this was probably the best,comfiest, well equipped cottage that we have stayed in."

  The views were amazing, the homemade cake was gorgeous! Lovely to have milk on arrival in a glass bottle! The bed was beautiful, clean, tidy, kitchen had everything you could need,tea bags, coffee, sugar, washing up liquid etc etc! The hosts were also lovely and so helpful. Yes the road up to the cottage is bumpy but it's near a farm! My husband and I just loved the views, wildlife, even seeing a red deer! Plus the northern lights also! Perfect holiday in a perfect place. Thankyou. We shall return.

  It’s a gem in the wonderful countryside of this part of the world. Peace & quiet with great views. Adrian & Helen are the perfect hosts & their cakes are superb! It’s a place where you can relax & hunker down should the weather turn inclement with a log burner as well as the central heating. Hope to return again next year.

• "Nice cottage in great location, lots of wildlife, lovely views and peaceful, owners seemed nice."

  Only downside was a long narrow lane with a bit of a hump in the middle in parts, which grated on the bottom of our car. The hedges were a little overgrown so scraped the bodywork when we tried to avoid the hump. If you have good ground clearance, and not too worried about paint work, not a problem.

  Thoroughly loved watching the tawny owls and barnowl soaring by during the evening. Great location for exploring the Cotswolds! Bed was very comfortable, shower fab, brilliant choice of books and dvds. The access road is quite a challenge but then again, so are the roads in the UK ;-). Thank you, Helen and Adrian for your hospitality!

  The hosts, Helen and Adrian, gave us a warm welcome, and Helen's advice on viewing the wildlife was most informative and helpful. As a result, we saw the Barn Owls and the Little Owl, which was so special. On other occassions, we saw Kites, Buzzards, Muntjac and Roe Deer. The cottage is idealy situated for visiting numerous National Trust Properties, as well as all the usual tourist places in the Cotswolds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Wash House, and we look forward to a 2nd holiday there in the not too distant future.

• "Fabulous views from a very comfortable and clean holiday cottage."

  We met both Helen and Adrain, who were very friendly. They live at the rear of The Wash House, but you are not disturbed at all and rarely see them. Helen makes a delicious sponge cake. The property is well furnished with a comfortable bed and sofa. You have everything to make your holiday a home from home experience. The views are just fabulous and we would never tire of them. It was lovely to get back late afternoon and sit on the patio, listening to only bird song and looking at the view. Plenty of places to visit within an hour from the cottage. We would love to return again, as we never got to complete our list. Great walks from the door too, around the villages. With pubs in both.

• "We had a wonderful time at The Wash House."

  It was ideal for the two of us and our hobby of Geocaching. The cottage is at the end of a long track and really is quite isolated. This suited us down to the ground. The cottage was cosy, clean, comfortable and very warm with the underfloor heating, so we did not need to use the wood burner. It had everything we needed for a week's holiday. The owner came to check that everything was in order. We thanked him for the excellent Victoria sponge that he had made for us. We had a chat about the state of farming, the history of the building and this and that, then he left us to it! The view from the kitchen/diner window was excellent. We saw kites, buzzards, flocks of fieldfares and redwing and many other birds. We saw a muntjac deer, and the squirrels and blackbirds were outside on the gravel each and every day. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable and the bed was huge and very comfortable. The shower worked well and there was plenty of hot water. I must mention the dark sky. If it is a clear night and you like star gazing, this is the place for you. Sunsets were also colourful. We would not hesitate to recommend this little gem!

• "We had a lovely week last week at the Wash House."

  We eventually found it after our sat nav told us to turn left too early! Up a very long drive (just keep going) but the views from the property are spectacular, especially the sunsets. The property has every conceivable item in the kitchen and it’s really cozy if you light the small log burner which we did on 2 occasions. The large bedroom has a king sized bed (2x3foot mattresses) and plenty of wardrobe space. The bathroom has a large shower and has underfloor heating. The property was immaculately clean and the Victoria sponge made by Adrian was superb. Met Helen his wife later in the week and she kindly showed us round her pottery workshop. They are a lovely friendly couple and made us feel very welcome and we can most certainly recommend this property to anyone wishing for some peace & quiet.
