Great place and exceeded expectations. Ideal location for visiting the cotswold area.

excellent quiet place and great room well appointed and exceeded expectations. We didn't take up the breakfast option due to leaving early each morning. Host was excellent communicator.

No complaints this place exceeded expectations . The room was excellent and well appointed. the bed was very good also.

Room was spacious. There is a large garden next to the room where we can have breakfast. Host Jenny and John are friendly and obliging.

Wonderful B&B in a great location

The room was very comfortable with a beautiful view of the garden. The bookable breakfast was great; lots of fresh produce and with delicious coffee. We were able to have breakfast 2x in the garden which was great. The owners were extremely friendly. The location was ideal; wonderfully quiet.... You woke up to the twittering of the birds. The B&B is within driving distance of several pubs and or cycling distance a star worthy restaurant.

The only downside to our room was that the bathroom was not en-suite (Superior King Room). The toilet and shower were downstairs, the room itself was on the second floor. In particular that there was a chance (although not very big), that you could bump into the other guests in the hall of the B&B, we found a bit objectionable. In the room itself it was not equally convenient to have breakfast; you had to either sit on the bed or on the couch to have breakfast. Particularly due to the lack of the en-suite bathroom, we did find the price-quality ratio a bit skewed.

This was the perfect, quiet country B&B to celebrate my wife’s 50th birthday—only good things to say about it.

Property owners gave marvelous attention to every detail. We felt very well cared for and lacked nothing. It was quiet and out-of-the-way, yet a short drive (or a very beautiful walk!) from idyllic Cotswold towns. We ourselves walked here from Stow on the Wold and walked out to Bourton on the Water—beautiful hikes. We definitely recommend staying here.

Jenny and John are wonderful hosts, very willing to share their local knowledge.

It was a beautiful example of the local architecture in sandstone so typical of the Cotswolds.

There was nothing to dislike.

Fabulous place to stay

Everything!! The room was beautiful, the attention to detail was brill! Everything we could possibly need. Jenny and John were very friendly & welcoming, also gave us plenty of info about the local area, places to visit/eat/directions. Stunning surroundings, peaceful garden that we were able to access and view from our room. 10/10! Very relaxing break! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

we stayed here for three nights in early April and had a very comfortable stay. We took advantage of the breakfast which

wonderfully quiet with view of the countryside

the bathroom and toilet facilities were on the ground floor which could prove an inconvenience if the toilet is required at night, but providing you are mobile it is not really a problem

Easter 2023 in the beautiful Cotswolds

The location of this let is outstanding. We were only there for two nights, but I wish we could have stayed longer. The owners greeted us with open arms even though we were delayed on the M25 and got there a lot later than planned (many apologies). A cold flask of fresh milk and a show round the room and its facilities even though Jenny had to be up early the following day to make breakfast for the other guests. The room was beautifully decorated and the soft furnishings were perfect. It's the little personal touches that made this property such a gem and we will definitely be returning for another stay in the Cotswolds. We ordered breakfast for the second morning of our stay and it was truly outstanding. I am not going to ruin the surprise by telling you all about the numerous items that were included in our brekafast but the hostesses were so attentive to detail it was a delight. Its location in the very small village of Idbury was perfect. Away from the crowds in the local Bouton, Chipping Norton and Stow but close enough to drive in and soak up the hustle and bustle or take in some of the walks in the beautiful rolling landscape of the Cotswolds. Thank you for your hospitality, we will see you again in another season x

We couldn't fault anything apart from only being there for two nights as we would have loved to stay longer but unable to do so due to other Eastet commitments.

A great location to enjoy the Cotswolds. We hope to return.

The location was very picturesque and quiet. We were warm and comfortable in the bedroom.

The bathroom was a bit cold during an unusually cold spell of weather in mid-March. The breakfast was filling but starchy - too much bread and pastries. Perhaps a hard boiled egg/muesli instead of some of the pastries would be healthier.

We would definitely be returning to this property when we visit the Cotswolds again. John and Jenny were lovely and went

the accommodation was very clean, quiet and we liked that there was a huge hall and bathroom downstairs from the bedroom. It felt like we had a huge amount of space. We also liked having breakfast in our room.

We liked everything about the property.
