About this cottage rental

Set slightly back on the pretty high street in Mickleton, Woodside Cottage is an elegant, detached family home with beautiful, rural views to the rear. Built from the local honey-coloured limestone, this spacious cottage is surrounded by mature planting and during the summer months, white roses clamber around the front door.

The interior is stylish and thoughtfully laid out with plenty of space to be both sociable but also offer a little peace and quiet when needed. The generously proportioned living room has a cosy open fire, the dining room seats eight comfortably and there's a superb kitchen. The former garage has been converted into a games/utility room with a pool table and a dartboard, the door to the kitchen can be closed if the competition gets animated! Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms; the fourth room can be used as a snug or the double sofa bed can be made up for use as a bedroom, perfect for children or teenagers.

The private gravel drive provides parking for up to three cars, whilst to the rear, the enclosed garden has a lawned area, a patio with a square dining table and rattan-style seating for eight. It's a peaceful spot to spend lazy afternoons before enjoying an evening of alfresco dining with treats rustled up on the gas barbecue. Younger guests can enjoy games of hide and seek in the sandbag-built army bunker in the rear garden.

Ground Floor

Entrance Hall:
The covered porch has a Cotswold stone bench, where you can rest weary legs to remove muddy boots. The front door opens into a large entrance hall where you'll find a wooden shoe rack and welly rack tucked under the stairs and coat hooks. There's also a ground floor cloakroom with a hanging rail, which is perfect for drying wet outdoor gear. The warm wooden flooring flows from the entrance hall into the living room and dining room.

Living Room:
This spacious room has windows to the front and side and double doors which open out to the enclosed rear garden. The focal point is the open fire which sits within a Cotswold stone fireplace, the cosy glow of flames is welcome on cooler evenings. There is ample seating with a comfy two-seater and three-seater leather sofa and an armchair strewn with plump cushions. Catch up on your favourite box sets on the 50" Smart TV or spend fun evenings around one of the many board games provided. The sideboard beneath the front window has a Sonos speaker and is packed with children's books and games.

Dining Room:
Opening from the living room and entrance hall this open space features a large oak dining table, which seats 8 comfortably, and two stylish pendant lights. The bookshelves offer plenty of reading material for guests of all ages.

Kitchen:
The stunning kitchen will undoubtedly be the hub for social gatherings. The vaulted high ceiling showcases the triple-strand light fitting and sparkly glitter ball, and the generous breakfast bar is conducive to lazy morning coffees, quick snacks or relaxing with a glass of wine, whilst culinary masterpieces are prepared. The blackboard wall is just crying out for epic games of noughts and crosses. Hidden behind the sleek white units you'll find everything you need for a self-catering stay including a dishwasher, Nespresso coffee machine, cafetiere and plenty of cookware, there is also a Smart TV. There is a built-in, eye-level Siemens double oven and a five ring Siemens induction hob. The American style-fridge freezer ensures there is plenty of chilled food storage.

Lovely house, lots of amenities within the house. No doors downstairs, which I feel is a fire risk especially with an open fire. Also states no dogs allowed upstairs, difficult without a door to any of the downstairs rooms. Garden very overgrown, patio area dirty, found cigarette butt's under one of the garden chairs. This is the 3rd property we have stayed at via Bolthole retreats and I found this property disappointing. Also, the contact number for the owner is incorrect in all of the bolthole retreat paperwork. The correct number is in the white plastic folder with all of the instructions for the house/appliances.

Following the recent passing of my husband and my children’s dad we enjoyed a much needed break and we chose the perfect place, Woodside Cottage. It was perfect for us all plus our dog. Every need inside and outside the cottage was catered for including parking and a really lovely social space outside. My children loved playing pool and darts. The kitchen is stunning and all the rooms were amazing. The gift basket on arrival is a really lovely touch as is the bread and milk provided. The location in Mickleton meant we could eat out locally and was near to other places to visit.The whole process booking through Bolthole Retreats has been a pleasurable experience. I had previously booked with another company and was let down. This company is reliable and professional with some amazing places to stay on offer. I am now looking for my next place to stay.

Well laid out roomy accommodation with all the necessary appliances/equipment to make your stay comfortable. Situated in a lovely village within easy reach (circa 30 minutes) of many attractions. Garden quite small and website gives the impression of a much bigger space with views over the surrounding countryside. The views are there but only from the upstairs bedrooms. Local pubs very welcoming, food in King’s Arms particularly good. Local butchers sausages a must try. All in all a lovely stay, thank you.

We stayed at the Woodside cottage for a Friday to Sunday break. It was a chance for a group of old friends to get together. As we were travelling from around the UK the location of the Cottage in the Cotswolds was perfect. The instructions for arrival were brilliant and the cleanliness of the cottage was perfect. Some great little touches such as a loaf of bread and butter in the kitchen were great. Little shop over the road and a few ace pubs all within walking distance made for a really enjoyable weekend.

We had a lovely weekend at the cottage and Anna was very accommodating with my request to arrive at the cottage earlier than normal. It was also very nice to receive a welcome hamper when we arrived. We were disappointed with some issues i.e. the cleanliness of a kitchen cupboard, the dustbins outside were full so we had to leave our rubbish on the top of them. There were several broken floor tiles in the ensuite. There were also several dead flies on the window sills. The feedback of the above does not reflect the lovely time we had at the property as a family.

Myself and a group of friends stayed here for the weekend recently. The house was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The Kitchen is a fabulous place for drinking and chatting and we all got involved with the darts and pool after a few gins. It was nice to share breakfast together in the large dining room and although the weather was bad there is a nice garden and patio furniture available.Parking on the drive for 3 cars was no problem and the location is a few minutes walk from several pubs and shops. A great base for exploring and we would definitely return. Many Thanks

Spacious cottage pleasantly furnished. Welcome hamper. Well stocked kitchen. Helpful owners let us arrive a bit early. Maybe bathrooms could do with a refresh.

A well presented house with plenty of space and everything you could want - lots of plates & cups; tvs, games and books etc. House is clean and comfortable with great views out to the back. Easy walking distance to village with choice of pubs and small shops. Highly recommended especially for families with young kids or groups of adults looking for some peace and relaxation
