About this cottage rental
Box Cottage is a small but perfectly formed 200-year-old Cotswold cottage hidden away in a quiet spot behind Broadway's bustling main street. Postcard-worthy exteriors give way to a homely and welcoming interior that has everything you need for a stay in one of the Cotswold's most popular destinations. Inside you'll find charming interiors with exposed wooden beams, original windows, and stunning parquet floors. On the ground floor, there's a cosy living room, dining room and compact and bijou kitchen that has everything you need. Upstairs are two well-appointed, spacious bedrooms and the cottage bathroom with a double shower and a wonderful, high ceiling.
Tucked behind Box Cottage is a charming courtyard garden, enveloped by traditional Cotswold stone walls and a beautiful wisteria-clad pergola, offering welcome shade on sunny days. It's the perfect spot for dining on warm evenings after a busy day exploring the beautiful Cotswolds.
Ground Floor
Entrance Hall:
As you step through the traditional front door, you'll find yourself in a light-filled hallway with whitewashed stone walls and parquet flooring. There are hooks for hanging outdoors coats and a handy box bench where you can sit to remove walking boots. There's also a cloakroom with a WC hidden away beneath the stairs.
Dining Room:
The charming dining room is beautiful in its simplicity. Pale walls and décor set off the warm wood of the parquet flooring and the circular dining table which seats four. Natural light flows into the room from the original window with views out to the courtyard.
Kitchen:
The galley-style kitchen leads off the dining room and although small in size has everything you need for a self-catering stay with an electric oven and hob, fridge-freezer, and a dishwasher. The pale grey design adds to the feeling of light and space. There's a tiny tea making nook squeezed in as well.
Living Room:
The cosy living room is furnished in the same pale, calming palette of colours with a comfy sofa, and two armchairs. The original stone fireplace is no longer in use but remains a focal point of the room. The traditional equine art on the walls is a subtle nod to Broadway's history as an important coaching hub of the Cotswolds. Natural light flows in through the dual aspect windows, there's also a door to the enclosed courtyard garden.
First Floor
Bedroom 1:
The master bedroom is light and bright with a wonderful dual aspect. The focal feature is the intricately carved mahogany antique French-style, king-size bed. This spacious room also features built-in wardrobes, dressing table and mahogany nightstands with reading lamps.
Bedroom 2:
The second bedroom at Box Cottage is light and spacious with twin beds, making it perfect for children or friends sharing. It can however also be made up as a double on request. There's plenty of storage with a built wardrobe and a dressing table. There's also a throw-back to the Victorian era with a handbasin tucked behind the door. This room is also dual aspect so there is plenty of natural light.
Bathroom:
The family shower room has a wonderful double shower, Victorian-style handbasin and a lovely high ceiling, adding to the feeling of light and space. Like the other rooms throughout the cottage, there's a large window flooding the bathroom with natural light.Outside
This lovely, hidden away cottage has an enclosed, courtyard garden and is the perfect spot for outdoor dining with a wrought-iron four-seater table and chairs and a wooden dining set, which sits beneath a wisteria-covered wooden pergola. Or just enjoy evening drinks or a tranquil morning coffee before the day's adventure begin.

We were absolutely delighted with our stay at the Box Cottage in Broadway. Perfectly located behind the main strip. Conveniently located to all the local villages and sites of the Cotswolds. The cottage is very comfortable with a lovely spacious outdoor area. Beds were super comfy and the kitchen well appointed for cooking at home. Communication with the housekeeper was prompt and easy…even replaced the microwave which stopped working within a day! Wifi was excellent…particularly important for our son who was working throughout our 14 day stay. Broadway is a perfect base for exploring the area…Highly recommended…will definitely book again for future trips to the Cotswolds. Thank you!

The cottage itself is extremely comfortable with everything you could need and stylishly decorated. The private garden is beautiful and a lovely place to sit and relax, with birds, squirrels and a cat visiting along the back wall! The cottage is conveniently tucked in behind the high street and has nearby parking in a quiet street. Broadway offers a range of lovely shops and places to eat and is located close to places of interest. I highly recommend Box Cottage.

I booked the Cottage on behalf our relatives visiting from America.
They really loved Box Cottage, and thought it was perfect, with all the English charm, yet with all the modern conveniences.
They thought the patio garden was delightful, and everything inside the Cottage was catered for their needs.
It is a great location right in the heart of Broadway village, yet very quiet and peaceful.

This was our first time in the Cotswolds and it couldn't have been more perfect.
The cottage is so cute and cozy. The neighbors are friendly and helpful.
Broadway is a wonderful town to walk around in and enjoy the beautiful setting.
Restaurants are solid and shoppes are nice.
Couldn't have asked for a better cottage to stay in.

My daughter and I really enjoyed our time at Box Cottage. It is beautiful inside, very clean and comfortable, and because it was Christmastime, they even decorated the living room with a small tree! It was very convenient for us to walk around Broadway, safe and quiet, and I'm sure the back garden area is a wonderful place to hang out in summer. I'd love to stay there again!

Fantastic location to explore the Cotswold
The cottage was wonderful and ideally located. The village of Broadway has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The coop is a short walk from the cottage and has everything you need for groceries and drinks. Parking is a bit tricky behind the cottage on Back Lane but we were always able to find a spot to park. Highly recommend this cottage for exploring the Cotswolds!

perfect
This was our second stay at Box Cottage. A lovely, comfortable cottage in a fantastic location. A perfect spot to call home for a visit to the Cotswolds.We even got a text to let us know the cottage was ready a few hours early, which is always nice! Thanks so much!

The Box Cottage was just perfection in a very magical part of the world. The garden provided a private outdoor escape, the bedrooms snug and comfortable and beds good, the kitchen well provisioned, and reception area roomy and comfortable. It’s literally steps away from all that Broadway has to offer while feeling like a secluded hideaway. It’s also easy to get anywhere in the Cotswolds, and perfect for exploring points north like Coventry and Iron Bridge or east to Oxford. Highly recommended!

Excellent Choice
An absolutely charming cottage. The location was perfect with just a few short steps from the car and from the main high street. It was warm and clean. Everything we needed was provided for. Broadway has the most amazing deli, restaurants and bars all within walking distance of the cottage. The garden was fabulous to take your early morning coffee and evening drinks. The bathroom was clean and had everything you need (obviously not toiletries). The kitchen is small but compact and very useful and the living room is very comfortable. Overall a fabulous weekend and I genuinely cannot wait to return!

We spent a wonderful week at this cottage. The location cannot be beat and the cottage itself is comfortable, very well-equipped and spacious. We had one issue (beyond anyone's control) but everyone involved was responsive and efficient in getting it sorted out. A great spot!

Box Cottage, Broadway, The Cotswolds
Box Cottage is a very pretty, well maintained cottage in the beautiful village of Broadway in the Cotswolds! The cottage is situated just off the main high street in a quiet pedestrianised lane. The cottage has a lovely courtyard garden with tables and chairs and a bbq for those lovely summer evenings! The inside is equipped with all the facilities needed for a pleasant stay.
Broadway itself has an array of lovely gift shops, pubs, restaurants and public footpaths for walking off those who extra calories whilst also enjoying the beautiful countryside!. It is also conveniently situated to explore the other highlights that the Cotswolds has to offer.

Mixed experience
Box cottage is situated in a charming row of terraced cottages tucked away behind Broadway main street. Although the cottage was well stocked with all you would need for your stay, was clean and it was easy to communicate with the manager, we were rather disappointed with our choice. Contrary to the pictures we saw, it felt dark, cold, damp and rather unloved. We also had problems with a wasp infestation and a smoke alarm which went off every morning. Hopefully these issues have now been resolved and perhaps we were unlucky, but we all felt that the cottage could do with an update.

Character cottage, excellent location
Beautiful period cottage in the centre of one of the most picturesque villages in the Cotswolds. Wonderful secluded walled sunny garden. Several excellent restaurants and pubs as well as shops within a very short walking distance. While there is generally adequate parking this can on occasions be awkward due to unauthorised usage of the space available. That said I have booked this accommodation on 2 occasions, covering 13 nights in total, and only had a major problem once.

Great stay in this lovely cottage!
We really enjoyed our stay at Box Cottage. The location is perfect to enjoy all that Broadway has to offer. The cottage is very quaint and well equipped. The weather was perfect during the week of our stay and we were able to enjoy sunny evenings in the large rear courtyard. Would definitely stay again if we are ever back in the area.

Quaint Cottage in great location
We loved this cottage very much it was right in the centre of Broadway. Gorgeous garden with plenty of seating. Lots of sanitizer and hand wash available. Which made us feel confident that every care was taken to keep everybody safe.

Beautiful property in Broadway
The property was very comfortable, and the checkin easy. The directions to parking at the back of the property was very good and reasonably easy to follow. The main complaint would be the double bed, as the mattress was very uncomfortable for 2 adults, meaning that one of us ended up sleeping on the lounge downstairs each night. The hot water also ran out every day with a family of 4 showering. Apart from that the property suited our needs and was a great base for exploring the Cotswolds, and a relaxing stay.

Cottage was all we had hoped and more well cared for comfortable and cozy location is amazing close to everything but very quiet we loved it and will return

Cosy countryside cottage
Lovely little cottage, very convenient for main high street shops, restaurants etc but still in quiet tucked away spot. Cottage much bigger than expected with lovely furnishings and secluded walled garden. It was a little chilly there but it was December and parking is a bit difficult. I would recomend though for a couple of nights break visiting the local area.

Charming cottage in a great location!
Had a wonderful stay at Box Cottage. Loved the location, shops and places to eat in (very close) walking distance. It is located in our favorite village in the Cotswolds. The cottage had a ton of character and had everything we needed during our stay.

June 2019 stay
We enjoyed our stay at Box Cottage, finding that it was well represented in photos and description. The location was excellent, being a one minute walk from the picturesque Main Street and a short stroll to the supermarket. The cottage was clean and provided all the facilities we needed. Our only negative comment would be that many light globes were not working, leading to some areas which were somewhat dark. I found the bedding/ mattress comfortable, however my wife considered them yo be too hard.

Cozy little cottage
What a wonderful place to base your travels in the Cotswolds. It was just perfect. The back courtyard was spectacular. Usually pictures over do but in this case, they didn’t do it justice. Very comfortable cottage. The only reason it got just a good on condition is simply because it’s been around a while. They have done a great job of updating. If you want a quaint little cottage with lots of character, book this now

Broadway piece of Heaven!
My friend and I just returned from our 7 night stay at Box Cottage. We were so close to all the amenities this lovely town has to offer and yet being at the cottage was like being in our own cozy haven! The cottage was very well equipped with everything we would need for our stay.

Perfect cottage
The cottage is perfect. Absolutely darling and the back private patio is a huge bonus especially when mother nature cooperates! The location is ideal so you can walk to everything in Broadway. I would definitely stay here again.
I did not want to take a star away from my rating - it deserves five - but there are three things anyone booking should keep in mind and the property owners or managers might consider for future.
1. Coffee maker - We stayed in two other VRBO‘s during our two-week trip to Europe. Both had a MagicMix - uses Nespresso pods. Addicted coffee drinkers greatly appreciate an amenity like this! If one was hiding somewhere and we missed it, let me know and I will correct my review and get new glasses.
2. This is a simple one… it’s possible I overlooked details in one of the emails, but instructions for finding the cottage are not available through the VRBO portal. Ideally, it would be my preference to have information at hand through Vrbo and not have to dig through emails. We ended up going into Budgens to ask someone working there. It was difficult navigating the back alley. While there is parking allocated for the private residence, it is still very congested. Not a complaint, but just something to keep in mind.
3. We struggled with the Internet connectivity and performance. We were only using it for text messaging, Internet research on restaurants and other tourist related information, and email. We weren’t trying to do anything like streaming music or other heavy loads. We tried rebooting the modem a couple times. We basically gave up.
The above suggestions are in no way reasons for not picking this cottage. It is lovely. You can always find a cup of coffee somewhere! You shouldn’t be spending so much time on the Internet anyway. And eventually you’ll find the cottage and all will be great!

Charming spacious cottage in excellent location
Lovely, well equipped 2 bedroom cottage, set in an excellent location just behind the high Street (no traffic noise). No open fire but lovely and warm with plenty of hot water. Kitchen well equipped with fridge/freezer microwave and dishwasher and loads of plates, cups etc. Downstairs loo ( needs the lock sorting) but good sized bathroom and another toilet with good shower. Nice garden to rear although unfortunately not the weather to use it. Will definitely come back.
4.7
Lovely cottage
Comfortable, pretty cottage in a convenient location, surrounded by shops and eateries, what more could one ask?
The Bolthole instructions were lacking for The Hive so I was pretty cold for the first few days until a neighbor came to my rescue. After that it was toasty. This is a great place for a holiday!

Perfect Cotswold Hideaway
We love Box Cottage - it's the perfect Cotswold hideaway! We do a lot of walking and it's great to be able to walk straight out of the door and up to the hills without even thinking about a car. It's so quiet and secluded yet just a few steps from the bustling high street - a superb combination.
As usual everything to do with the cottage itself was great, but this time we experienced a little difficulty with parking. This was partly due to the work being done on rebuilding the wall in the passageway - so can't be helped, I suppose.
We hope to return.
