This was a lovely little place and very clean and tidy. There are stairs so can be tricky if you have large heavy luggage. Excellent facilities and the pub close by had delicious food.
We loved our 2 night stay in Naunton. The house was charming and very comfortable with everything we needed. Mark and Lorraine were very responsive to messages and check in was easy. Thanks for a great stay.
Met fantastic expectations. Away from the hustle and bustle within the Cotswolds, yet close enough to visit the AONB. Great neighbors and neighborhood. Beds were comfortable. View was charming.
We loven our stay and lovend the quiet village of Naunton. Easy check in and accurate representatie of the place.Good ends and sufficient kitchen supplies. The garden not attached directly to the cottage makes it a bit of a walk with glasses and plates etc when you like to eat outside. And passing the neighbours outdoor mess is not a bit dissapointing. Overall a very nice stay
We enjoyed our stay and experiencing true Cotswold living! The cottage is comfortable with deep history. The garden was lovely. It was early spring, so lots of flowers in bloom. The stairway inside is a little narrow (watch your head going up to the third floor!) but the rooms were comfortable and clean. The host, Mark, provides a ton of information about the area and places to see. All around, it was a great place!
Very nice little place and a great village. We loved walking around the area and eating at the pub nearby. Easy check in and check out for this fun old cottage.
The property was spotless on arrival, well equipped and full of nice surprises. The local pub is no more than five minutes away and serves excellent food. Overall a most enjoyable stay.

2 week stay June 2025
This Cotswolds cottage is desperately in need of some love & attention. The front garden is overgrown and the âlarge gardenâ which is NOT directly behind the cottage but 2 doors down was a complete disaster. Overgrown with long grass and weeds. We could not get to the wood fire BBQ at the back of the garden as we could not safely see where we were walking. On our last day someone came to power wash an area that had paving slabs that had not even been visible. No instructions provided for the appliances Lacking kitchen equipmentThe host will let you know beforehand that the fridge and freezer doors do not always close tightly The main bathroom needs an extractor fan as the small window is not adequate to stop condensation running down the walls after a shower Both bathroom doors are warped and donât close properly for privacyThe main bathroom toilet has a major issue as when you flush the mechanism lifts the tank lid. You have to force the handle down into place which creates a huge noise as the lid settles back into place. Beds were comfortable with very basic bedding. The video shows cushions and runners on the bed. Missing on our visit and pictures were on the floor & not the wall!As frequent VRBO users this is actually the first property that was not as described. The location was what saved the day for us.
Truly get the feeling of whats its like living in a small cotwolds village. Very comfortable! Mark, you do need a new can opener. Thanks for a wonderful experience
Lovely quaint little cottage,great location, people very friendly in the village.
Only one very small criticism, if you are trying to cook a roast dinner eg:- Christmas lunch, there was only one small roasting tin, not really big enough for the turkey and all the trimmings. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back in the near future.
We spent a month in Naunton which is a lovely small village with a very friendly, handy pub just along from the cottage, and perfect for anyone wanting to be off the beaten track - less than 15 minute drive to either Stow or Bourton. The cottage was quite comfortable although we would have appreciated a maintenance check beforehand as we did encounter a few issues, and, for such a long stay, we would have expected some spare linens or housekeeping coming to change sheets. The garden is quite separate from the house and there is no off-street parking.
The unit has old time charm. The living room has low ceilings giving a very snug feel and provided enough seating for the four of us. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the necessary plates, pots, coffee maker, etc. We appreciated the use of the clothes washers. Both bedrooms had adequate space and comfortable beds. The top floor bathroom was a bit tight, but was functional. The kitchen and both bedrooms require walking up steps, not a problem for us but the bedroom stairs are a bit steep.
It was very quiet, with friendly neighbors. The garden area was a nice place to sit and relax.
The village is picturesque and quiet. We enjoyed the ability to walk down to the local pub for a pint or a meal (about 3 minute walk).
Overall, we found the unit to meet all of our needs with everything in good working order.
Wir haben mit unseren Erwachsenen Kindern ein herrliches Wochenende in dem Haus verbracht. Dass schöne liebevoll renovierte Haus bot alle Annehmlichkeiten, die man sich wĂŒnscht: sehr gute Betten, perfekte Duschen etc., sehr gut ausgestattete KĂŒche, Esstisch im Garten - kurz alles wunderbar. Naunton ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt fĂŒr eine herrliche Wander Rundtour, die im Haus vorgeschlagen war und die wir auch gemacht haben. AuĂerdem sind wir mit VergnĂŒgen in der GaststĂ€tte âthe black horseâ, die sehr gemĂŒtlich ein paar HĂ€user weiter war, eingekehrt. Vielen Dank an Mark!
Just a storybook area to visit . The host left us many clear instructions and tips to familiarize ourselves to make our visit even more perfect. Fully equipped cottage with a warm and authentic snug.

Relaxing break
The property was lovely with lots of little extras, which made us feel welcome. Practical layout for four adults, although another higher armchair instead of the little chair would have been great. The garden was delightful and added to our stay. Better directions to find the property, which was set back, would have saved us 30 mins after a long drive.
It was a little difficult to find the home and the parking on the street can be challenging There were 3 of us with associated luggage We were in Europe for 2 months so did have large bags The home was very well appointed The kitchen area was very nice basic cooking oil/spices etc There is no grocer in town so make sure you bring food The pub was about 1/2 block away and had good food and a nice outside area This was a good home base to tour the Cotswolds I especially recommend a tour of Sudeley Castle the last home and burial site of Queen Catherine Parr The stairs are very step and curved but our granddaughter had no issues climbing to the 3rd floor I would definitely recommend this home
A great place to stay in a very friendly village.
The local pub the Black horse serves beautiful food and we highly recommend it.
The cottage itself offered everything we needed and was Clean, warm and well appointed,. We would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area. We would certainly return again in the future.
Our trip to Naunton was originally planned for a year ago, but due to COVID had to be delayed. Mark was super helpful and responsive in switching dates, and with everything else related to our stay. And we're so glad we were eventually able to stay in this adorable, cozy, characterful home! We took long walks during the day, and loved sitting in front of the fire on our return. The village of Naunton is a gem, and the local pub had great food and friendly service. We had such a lovely stay and would recommend Mark's home to anyone looking for a comfortable escape to a beautiful area!
Comfortable and cosy cottage. Located in a valley close to a pub serving excellent Sunday lunch.
5 minutes drive to Naunton Golf Club and close to lovely towns and villages.
Ideal for 2 couples with 2 bathrooms.
When my kids were small we got fed up of low quality self catering that seemed to cost the earth. So we bought our own place in 2000 and have been expanding ever since - a lot of our guests visit again and again. We still regularly stay in all our places to be sure that they are good enough for us to enjoy, not just rentals.
This cottage is a cliche of an English country cottage. Everything about it is exactly what you would expect starting with the atmosphere of the big fireplace and deep windows. But it is also the lovely garden and gorgeous views that make it special... not to mention the great pub just a couple of minutes' walk away!
Many small cottages have a "cottage garden" - small. This one has a huge garden for kids to play in, or enjoy the terrace for meals (outdoor table and chairs provided) and use the brick Barb-B-Q with a proper chimney. All the beams and the stone ground floor is original from 1600. This cottage hasn't been over-restored, All modern conveniences have been built into what is there, nothing original has been ripped out.
