Wonderful location, very comfortable

We stayed in the cottage with 4 friends and enjoyed our time there immensely. The cottage and its surroundings were idyllic and the location was ideal for trips we made to Stroud and Cirencester. Walking down the valley into Painswick for lunch and returning via the Cotswolds Way was a really interesting walk. Things that need improving. Outside furniture was inadequate if there were 10 people staying. The dining table was poor and warped. No instruction manuals for oven, hob or barbecue. No tray in he showers for shampoo ad soap.

Locks cottage is perfect for a family get together. It has a great games room with a multi function pool/table tennis/shuffle board table and many indoor and outdoor games to keep children of all ages happy. There is a lovely sitting area for the adults to enjoy and the garden is lovely. Lots of stairs and mind your head on the beams. All in all we would definitely rent it again and are glad we rented an SUV as the track to cottage was challenging.

3 seperate families stayed at the beautiful cottage after not seeing each other for 5 years. The house had everything, the location so rural and beautiful and the kids loved driving through the field with the cows to access! It’s a brilliant house for seperate families with 3 seperate and distinctive areas with bedrooms and their own bathrooms. This was very important as it allowed everyone to have their own privacy, while enjoying the large social area of downstairs. The gardens were stunning and kids loved exploring, although they were sad to only discover the tree house on our last day! We absolutely loved our stay and would have no hesitation staying again. If I had to provide constructive feedback then the internet isn’t the best and didn’t cope with a few of us logging in, but you don’t come to this location to log on so this didn’t bother us in the slightest. There is far more to see and explore in the glorious setting! Highly highly recommend. Thank you for some incredible memories!

I am so pleased that we found the listing for Lock's Cottage when researching somewhere to stay for a couple of nights on the Cotswolds. I now wish we could have stayed longer. Communication with Bolthole Retreats was great. Directions to find the cottage were very clear. Our party of 9 loved the location and the views. Everything was clean and set up nicely. The tweens/teens loved the game room. I would book this cottage again if I ever make it back to the area.

A fabulous venue for my 50th birthday allowing me to host several friends for a range of activities. The house is beautifully furnished, light, airy but traditional and comfortable. Lovely large living room and all good size bedrooms. Definitely off the beaten track - not really suitable for low to the ground sports cars!

Locks Cottage did not disappoint. The house was beautiful with lots of character and decorated to a high spec. The house was a lot bigger than the photographs suggested and the views were stunning! I would definitely recommend staying here and exploring the beautiful countryside and local towns and villages. If there was one suggestion I would make it would that there weren't enough serving dishes and serving spoons.

The house is very cosy and can fit 10 adults comfortably. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and views and is very tranquil, .The house and setting was everything we hoped for and more. We would definitely visit again.
