Relaxing stay

We had a lovely stay at Owls Roost. The home is beautiful it was cozy and warm when we arrived with a lovely welcome surprise in the fridge for us which we all really enjoyed! The place was spotlessly clean and the we enjoyed our visit from their dog who made himself quiet at home in the house with us. Really helpful when we called them to ask for directions. Stunning views to wake up to in the morning. We will definitely be back.

“Highly Recommended Stay in a Stunning Location

We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this cottage. The host was incredibly welcoming, and the place was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. The cottage itself is very comfortable, and the amazing views made our stay even more special. The thoughtful touches like fresh scones, cream, and milk were greatly appreciated. A fantastic place for families, and we will definitely be returning!

We had the most wonderful stay, we were there with family and were made to feel very welcomed. The views over the farm are stunning, the house was lovely and clean and had so much space. Our son fell in love with the house and seeing the horses. Laura could not have been more helpful, we cannot wait to come and stay again.

We had a great time in Owls Roost!

We loved the spaciousness, the beautiful and peaceful landscape with horses and cows, and the hot tub — a big hit for the whole family! The location was also great, with only a short drive to many attractions in the Cotswolds. The only downside was cleanliness — the carpets could have been cleaner, and a quick run with a vacuum would have made a big difference.

Beautiful views

We were staying here for a family wedding. There was an issue with the heating when we arrived but this was fixed after a couple of days. I did feel that some of the kitchen utensils and equipment need to be replaced but otherwise had an enjoyable stay.

A wonderful birthday weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend at Owl's Roost. Laura and Nick were perfect hosts and the barn is fabulous and set up very well for group/family stays. The location was perfect for a country getaway - no noise except for animals and ourselves. Easy distance to some of the prettiest villages I'm the Cotswolds and the Cotswold Distillery!

A wonderful Christmas stay at Owl's Roost!

We adored our stay over Christmas at Owl's Roost - the perfect Cotswolds home! Cold Aston is a gorgeous town with a divine pub right in the heart. Owl's Roost is very spacious (with two living areas and a good size kitchen), while also feeling super cozy. We loved the views out onto the paddocks, and the hot tub was such a hit. Laura and Nick were incredibly helpful and kind, going above and beyond to make sure that our stay was perfect. We loved our stay - would most definitely recommend!
