We stayed here for a long weekend as an annual 'old school friends' get together and it was the perfect accommodation for us. There were 8 of us and usually we have to bunk in together sharing rooms and beds and never really sleep that well, but there were such a variety of spaces that we nearly managed a room each here. It did take us about 20 mins, and several tours around the house to find the final 3 bedrooms!! The house is wonderfully colourful and comfortable, has an incredibly well equipped kitchen, and there were plenty of logs and kindling provided to keep us cosy. Many similar properties we've stayed in, or looked at while shortlisting, just don't have the communal seating space to sit all 8 comfortably, but there was bags of space here with 3 huge sofas in the open plan area plus 2 comfy chairs, and even more in the sitting room and annex which we didn't even use. The beds were all, by all accounts, very comfortable - mine certainly was - with lovely duvets and pillows. There was plenty of hot water and powerful showers. We did a lovely, if VERY muddy, walk around the nature reserve and to the farm shop and cafe at Bruern on Saturday for some very good cake and coffees, and bread, cheese and some other groceries to take back to the house. We also had a delicious dinner at the Kings Head Inn at Bledington, and Sunday lunch at The Sheep in Stow-on-the-Wold. All highly recommended. We had visits from Muntjac deer in the garden which was wonderful, and the best night's sky viewing that I've had in the UK - no light pollution and a clear frosty night provided perfect conditions. One thing to note is the very remote location (although that also adds to its charm) - I was expecting it to be remote, but the track to the house was a little rougher and longer than perhaps I'd anticipated and you need to factor that in if you have a low/old car, and I as rather glad we took some food with us for the Friday night after our drive there. It makes you slightly more reluctant to travel back and forth too much and it was much further to the pub than I'd anticipated from the description - we ended up driving rather than walking which we'd planned as the footpath was too muddy and not that pleasant to walk along the roadway. But as I said, not necessarily a negative, just something to be aware of. Great communication with the owner, and they very kindly posted back some jewellery that had been left behind. Highly recommend Brock Cottage for a very pleasant stay with family or friends.

We had the best big family Christmas at brock cottage - plenty of space for everyone, an extremely well stocked kitchen and such comfortable spaces to spend time as a family. It was the perfect balance of spacious and cosy. We loved the unique vibe and the location is ideal for exploring either on foot or in short drives to all the cotswold must-see spots. We’d definitely go again, thank you!

Excellent property, querky and lots of space for a group to spread out. Very helpful host who responded rapidly to any queries. Be aware of it being very rural and not everyone would be able to access as the drive in involves dirt tracks and potholes.

Set in a very rural location Brock Cottage was perfect for our Family weekend. Tee cottage is large and rambling with memorable decoration. With 8 adults plus 5 children ages 1 to 5 there was plenty of space for everyone. We were very lucky with the weather as the garden was a perfect place to have outdoor fun. Brock Cottage was well equipped with everything we needed.

Long weekend for 12 including 6 kids under 11. A great stay in an amazing and quirky cottage. Loads of room for everyone to have space and yet get together for meals and socialising. Kids loved the huge garden with woods and a stream, building dens and bridges. Would come back in a heartbeat.

A beautiful quirky house …lots of wonderful art around. We liked most that the kitchen, dining, sitting area is all in one big room with patio doors all down one side on to the large, simple garden full of wildlife.. It gave a wonderful atmosphere both when the sun was shining and also when it was pouring down with rain. The house is beautifully put together with all you need …we were 80 year old and 4 year olds and lots of ages in between. Kitchen well equipped and all the beds comfortable with nice linen.

House suited our family of small children and adults very well. Loved the spacious kitchen area and safe garden. Great house for hide'n' seek! Comfortable beds and lovely linen. The owner was very helpful too.

Really great place to stay, everything as described, nice furnishings and a great open plan living area
