Wedding retreat

We chose Old Fox cottage as a base for our son's wedding at the Fleece Inn. It was perfect. As well as being convenient it was a cosy, comfortable home from home. It was a great place to relax and unwind after a couple of hectic days preparing and clearing up after the wedding.

Quaint Cotswold Village with the perfect cottage to stay in

This is our second time staying in Old Fox Cottage. The last time was in 2019 with our two daughters. We loved it and wanted to return. The thatched roof cottage is clean and well decorated. Cozy hearth room with a warm electric fireplace, inviting sunroom , instant hot water for the shower and tub, comfortable bed. The town is the quintessential Cotswold town with a great historic pub called the Fleece Inn. Cons: Primary bedroom bed, although comfortable, sags a bit. Shower has a good supply of hot water, but is small, has minimal receptacles to plug in and charge devices.

One of the best places we have stayed in the Cotswolds

We loved everything about Old Fox Cottage- clean, full of character and attention to detail. The beds were really comfortable and the whole house is a delight. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a quiet spot to take a break and so close to The Fleece Inn which is full of character and amazing food. We will definitely be back.

The loveliest of stays.

As a woman traveling alone my comfort level is always a top priority. I want to feel safe sleeping alone in the property but also feel like the space is a warm and welcoming place to rest and retreat. This property Fox Cottage was All those things. I cooked most of my meals in the perfect little kitchen and enjoyed quiet evenings in the lounge area. The bedroom felt like a cozy nest. I slept peacefully. The logistics like parking, location, getting in and out with key were all easy and excellent. I greatly appreciated having a washer... it really allowed me to lighten what clothes I traveled with. All around excellent stay and exceptional service.

Honeymoon at Old Fox Cottage

We stayed at Old Fox Cottage for our honeymoon and all I can say is that it was perfect in every way! The cottage itself is beautiful and sits in an idyllic location where we could enjoy many areas of the Cotswolds at our leisure. It’s beautifully presented with many personal touches that makes you feel relaxed and almost home from home. Many thanks for the wonderful memories. Rob & Tracey

We had a truly wonderful stay at Old Fox Cottage. The owners have thought of every detail to make the cottage comfortable, cozy & convenient. The beds were very comfortable. The water pressure & plumbing drainage were perfect. The kitchen is well equipped with all possible necessities! Great outdoor space. Parking just in front.We definitely hope to book another holiday at this location, with Adam & Lois.

Cozy and lovely cottage

We fell in love with this cottage the moment we opened the door. It is decorated in a lovely way with all kinds of details that make it look "vintage". It is very cozy, with comfortable armchairs, cushions, rugs, etc. The main bedroom is adorable. It has a good-sized wardrobe, sufficient for holiday clothes. We didn't use the second bedroom, but it is nice for the kids (with several books for them to read). The kitchen has all the appliances you may need, and the conservatory (dining room) is amazing (the only thing I would point out is that when it is sunny, it can be a little challenging to eat there). The garden was a little bit overgrown, but we had some nice evenings there. We loved the cottage and felt completely at home. We highly recommend it. When we come back to the Cotswolds, this is the place we will return to.

Outstanding Stay at Old Fox Cottage

Simple booking process from beginning to end with excellent communication and instructions. The property was spectacular and perfectly met our needs. Everything was immaculately clean with all the necessary kitchen items and some thoughtful treats and basics as well. The garden and conservatory were idyllic as was the village. We were positively spoiled by the food and service at The Fleece Inn just footsteps from the front door of the cottage. This property is a perfect blend of modern conveniences with old world charm and was a great jumping off point for exploring the Cotswolds. We had fabulous day trips around the area and were always happy to come home to such a welcoming cottage in the evening. Would absolutely book this property again without hesitation.
