Amazing location and externals, disappointed by internals
Can’t fault the location nor the beautiful building. Inside wasn’t in keeping with facade, poor bathing facilities and under part storage units, log burner (cheap!) ornaments mostly from Dulemn. Just needs some tlc, it’s a rental to make money that’s clear and corroborated by the locals. Didn’t see a soul to welcome us. Despite any of this, we absolutely loved our time here. People constantly take photos of the outside often thinking it’s part of the model village, which can be endearing. Definitely worth booking but maybe challenge the price so they upgrade the interior.

Christmas in the Cotswolds
Perfect size for two families. Excellent location from the centre and all amenities. Parking was quite tricky to navigate along a public footpath to the property. It clearly stated in the welcome folder that fortnightly bookings "the housekeeper will come in, mid term to change the beds, or if you prefered, they'd leave you a change of linen". This didn't happen. We stayed from Friday 15th December to Friday 29th December. The house could of done with some suitable wine glasses. Apart from this, it had everything you need, home from home.

Beautiful cottage right on the river front
This property is located right in the heart of the village on the banks of the river Windrush. It is very picturesque. Passing tourists loved the cottage and many took pictures of it and we felt proud to be staying there. The kitchen was very well kitted out with everything you could need. The biggest problem was the parking which was very tricky to access and involved driving onto a very busy pedestrian walkway along the river. Luckily all the local attractions were in easy walking distance and there were lots of nearby places to eat and drink and great walking trails but beware as some trails are very muddy in parts. There was a hairdryer although the blurb said there wasn't.

Great Cotswolds holiday
We had a great stay at Fairlee House. The house is very well equipped, the rooms are spacious & the decor is pretty. The location is prime, although getting in & out of the parking can be a challenge in peak times as the driveway is across a pedestrian walkway. (This is a small issue for staying in such a prime location) we would definitely book here again.

A dream location
Sitting in the front garden, sun shining, right on the river, people and duck watching. Doesn’t get much better. Beautiful house admired by all that walk past it. If only I had a £1 for everyone that asked “is this your house” ? We will return I have no doubt, and i’m sure each of our 4 seasons will give a different and equally fabulous experience through the year

Lockdown Heaven
My husband and I would like to thank Penny and Rachael for looking after us during lockdown. We were visiting the UK from Australia and found ourselves unable to leave the village, they helped us find this wonderful home which we highly recommend and we also recommend HomeAway to look after you. Many many thanks.
