We booked Hawthorn cottage to meet up with family between Christmas and New Year. It was a great location with the centre of Northleach a short walk and within easy reach of places like Bourton on the Water. The decorated tree was an added bonus. The whole house has been furnished to a high standard and was extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Lovely house for 4 people who wanted separate rooms. Location perfect for strolling into Northleach & visiting surrounding area. All amenities were great & open plan living area ideal for social Living. We had a small problem and Camilla could not have been more responsive & helpful - went beyond expectations to help

Lovely place to stay! Would stay again. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen was modern and easy to use. TV was connected to sky which was great. Parking was easy too. Lovely cottage, would highly recommend.

Just returned from a 2 night stay to celebrate my Mum's 80th Birthday, 5 Adults & 2 Children & dogs. The cottage was lovely, spotlessly clean, decorated to a high standard, sofa was amazing so comfortable, beds really comfortable with high quality bedding & pillows, we all slept soundly, the ensuite bathrooms were lovely, hand soap & reed diffusers where Rituals & smelt devine. Kitchen was fitted out with all you could want. Plenty of games to keep you occupied & a lovely garden with rattan garden furniture. I would definitely recommend this property we would stay again.

We had a lovely week away at Hawthorn Cottage. It was a perfect location, central to all the pretty and quaint Cotswolds villages. The cottage was comfortable and spacious, plenty of room for seven adults, an infant and a dog. The cottage was well kept with only a few areas that could do with some maintenance. The garden was a good size, however it was a shame that all around the edges was very overgrown from grass coming from the two neighbours gardens. On a side note the artificial grass was a lifesaver with the dog as he remained clean the whole week. The only other issue we had was that a lot of the glassware, cutlery and dinner service was dirty from previous guests. So we needed to wash everything before we could use them. Overall, we had a lovely stay at Hawthorn Cottage and would definitely recommend it to others.

This is a lovely holiday house for families. We were a family of 4 generations staying at Hawthorn Cottage, and were sorry that we couldn't stay longer. The house is well maintained and spacious, and located in a lovely village. We loved the open plan design, and the bedrooms were large and nicely decorated. None of us had been to this village before, and found it to be a very attractive village.

We enjoyed our stay in Northleach. The village is very pretty and has some nice places to eat and have a coffee. The house itself is in a new development which was very nice. However, on arrival we found that the house didn't seem to have been cleaned as well as we'd have expected (e.g. food splashed by the bins) and the carpet needed vacuuming. There were also lights that didn't have working lightbulbs and blinds which didn't work in one of the bedrooms. This was a bit disappointing. Hopefully these can be rectified as all in all, it's an excellent base for the Cotswolds!

We were a group of 5 people, the cottage is located in a quite neighbourhood in Northleach. The Cabin was clean and very functional, the instructions issued post the reservation confirmation were bang on and everything worked well. The location of Northleach is quite central, you are not fare for any of the beautiful villages on the Cotswold. Burton on Water is a 10 min drive. Overall I would recommend this place !!!!

Stayed here with my family and bridesmaids for my wedding. It was perfect. Super light in the living area for getting ready and a really sociable space. Was great for my 18 month nephew and a really safe garden space for him. Thoroughly enjoyed and would 100% recommend. Thanks so much!

A beautiful Gloucestershire setting. Very tastefully decorated and sumptiously furnished and ideal for a family of eight! Just a short walk to the stores and pubs in Northleach. Central to visit Bourton on Water, We Fairford and even farther afield to Bath .Our daughters, grandsons and son in laws have expressed the view we should book up for next year. Surely the ultimate accolade for a well appointed holiday cottage! We do not hesitate to give Hawthorn Cottage a gold star and top rating!

We had a delightful holiday in this beautiful rental house with our family of 8 and our small wiener dog. Everything we needed was accommodated forr and the area is simply stunning! I would recommend it to everyone!

Hawthorn Cottage is in a great location to explore the north and south of the Cotswolds. It was very clean, well equipped, comfortable with good instruction on everything in the cottage. Our party of 6 adults enjoyed our visit and strongly recommend Hawthorn Cottage and Bolthole Retreats.

Hawthorn Cottage is a new build property in the pretty village of Northleach. The property is of a high standard and well equipped. Parking is provided for two vehicles. Lovely walks around the area and great places to eat out. Would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely stay at Hawthorn Cottage, we were impressed with the quality of the property very nicely decorated and styled which is what we like. Ordinary drinking glass stocks need replenished as there was. It enough glasses for all of us to have a long drink in but that was the only issue we used an alternative it just felt odd. The house was situated close to what we wanted to see so was perfect for our needs. Would highly recommend the home and Danielle from Bolthole Retreats - she was amazing.

It is rare the Experience of staying at a holiday location works out as well as expectation of a group built up by the online marketing page. I’m pleased to say that didn’t happen here, in fact the only potential issue in advance was the parking as we had 3 cars. Even this didn’t present an issue. Excellent facilities and base, one very minor issue was the need to drink Guinness from a wine glass due to the lack of a pint glass on site, as I say very minor issue.

Stayed at Hawthorn Cottage as our group of 7 adults were attending a family wedding a short distance away. The accommodation was comfortable, spacious and well equipped. It was also in a very quiet location. There was plenty of parking (including visitor spaces) for our 3 cars. My only suggestion would be an iron and ironing board. We needed to press shirts before attending the wedding but fortunately had already checked if one was provided and brought our own. We would definitely stay again.

Short but sweet 2 night stay In Hawthorn Cottage. Really comfortable house with very tasteful decor. Beds were perfect for a great nights sleep and loved the big bathrooms. Good gastropub in the village with great food.

We were 4 couples who stayed at Hawthorn Cottage in September. We couldn't fault anything in our stay. From the living/ dining room through to the kitchen and the bedrooms, everything was excellent. It contains everything you need for a relaxing weekend away and being able to bbq was an added bonus. It is a short walk to the pretty village of Northleach, with a couple of pubs and a quirky winebar. Highly recommended.

Fantastic property. Clean and modern with everything that you could want in a rental provided.

Loved our weekend in Northleach and exploring other villages nearby. Really quiet neighbourhood and friendly neighbours. House was very spacious, comfortable beds and a lovely patio area with a bbq. Only feedback would be that we would have liked some communication around checkin time (although we had no problems) and a heads up that we’d need to put out the bins, including rubbish from previous guests. We also could not find cutlery and realised was in the dishwasher but can’t fault cleanliness and the overall stay - would visit again

Great location giving ease access to the Cotswolds and Northleach itself. Easy access to open countryside and walks. Quiet. Very high spec property and furniture & fittings. Well equipped. Great property for 6-8 people. Some niggles as felt the presentation of the property was let down by cleaning ( lots of dusty cobwebs on the ground floor although immaculate elsewhere) ; unmaintained and over grown garden at both the front and rear; heavily blood stained pillow case on one of the beds; broken and flirty BBQ, and shower head hanging off of the wall in one of the en-suites, The use of the garden was a bit of a write off. Due to the construction works, noise and the lack of maintenance the grassed area just not useable which was disappointing as weather was hot and sunny. We were able to over come these issues but for the price we were disappointed as these were clearly visible and could have been resolved or advised before our arrival. There were a few issues with the property description: there is no log burner ( it’s an electric fire); there were no coffee pods provided or no caffeine and no signs of the garden being maintained. We were also unfortunate that there is construction working going on, in the parking bays above the back garden, that created lots of noise and construction dust, it also limited our use of one the parking spaces linked to the property - feel this should have been advised at the time of booking. Overall would be happy to book again due to the quality of the furnishings and fixtures/fittings together with location. I feel we were a little unfortunate as the property had been shut down down due to Covid and had only just reopened. But equally we could argue it should have been spotless and any issues resolved over lockdown! The building works at the rear were unfortunate but both this and the presentation of our property did affect our stay and created work for us so can’t give it a five star rating.

I stayed at Hawthorn Cottage with my family, the night before my wedding so this was a very special stay. Overall perfect property, clean, open spaces with natural light as per the photos and high end furnishings with super king size beds, fresh fluffy towels and all the kitchen amenities you could want. My only negative would be that on arrival, the cleaners were still at the property after the given check in time and we were told that we weren’t expected until Friday (the day we were due to check out). This did cause a little stress, however I called bolthole retreats right away, who apologised for the missed communication with the cleaners and confirmed our booking - phew. After a 15/20 minute wait in the car outside, we were able to go in and enjoyed our stay. Many thanks for a lovely stay. Laura

Beautifully appointed cottage on the edge of Northleach village. Great base for exploring the cotswolds.

We had an excellent stay at the Hawthorn Cottage. The cottage is newly built so everything is brand new. Even the neighborhood. We particularly liked the spacious bed, the cleanliness of the complete house, the perfectly clean showers, soft closing toilet covers, the neat neighborhood, good WiFi on all floors, abundance of appliances, the glass back wall which gives a full view on the small garden. There is no view from the house, to enjoy English countryside views, you need to step outside. The village shop is within walking distance (0,5 mile, 10 minutes). For everything else you need a car. The owner was very helpful and responded quickly on the few questions we had.

We had a fabulous stay at the cottage, perfect for 3 couples having a bathroom each. The downstairs area is great for group meals and the garden was lovely for a BBQ. Would certainly recommend and stay again!

Cottage based on the edge of Northleach making Burfod and Burton-on-Water easily accessible. The cottage was clean and tidy having all facilities you would wish for. Definitely go back for a second visit.
