I was given clear instructions to knock on the main house door and the host greeted me and let me know what I needed to know.

A couple of things to bear in mind when booking. The bed is in the eves of the roof, so to access one side involved crouching. If both people were tall, that could be a slight problem. However, the bedroom was very spacious otherwise. The upstairs bedroom is open to the downstairs kitchen/lounge (ie no door between them). If you have one person who gets up early / is noisy, and another that likes to sleep, it may not be a good property for you. However, neither of those things can be changed, and weren't an issue for us, but may impact others.

We had five nights at Cotswold Lodge over Christmas. The cottage is gorgeous - stylishly decorated and with everything we needed for our stay. Hannah and David provided milk, orange juice, tea, coffee, and fruit, as well as a fantastic Christmas welcome pack of Prosecco, mince pies, biscuits and even Christmas crackers which made us feel not so far from home at such a special time of year. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and the utensils you might need for the preparation of meals. Hannah's attention to detail and the care she puts into her cottage is clear to see. Additionally, Painswick is such a beautiful village - the Queen of the Cotswolds - which we hadn't quite appreciated before our stay. The village has a few shops and cafes, pubs and restaurants. Our Christmas lunch at The Falcon Inn was impressive! We wouldn't hesitate to stay in Painswick again and Cotswold Lodge would be our accommodation of choice. Thanks very much to Hannah and David.

It was all perfect.

It was very high spec and spacious. Kitchen counter appliances were all IKEA and him in a lovely mint green colour. I really appreciate the walk-in shower and the heated towel rack. The duvet was so puffyand sleeping with the skylights open meant that I was very toasty warm.

It was downhill from the nearest bus stop and after 10 days of hiking I am not a fan of downhill. However, for a normal person it isn’t at all steep.

Lovely spacious open plan one bedroomed two storey lodge with sofa bed downstairs with it’s own drive, garden and outside seating area. The pretty village of Painswick which has a well stocked village shop and several pubs and restaurants and lots of choice for eating out in nearby villages too. Good communication from very pleasant owners, Hannah and David next door and they were kind enough to leave some provisions for our arrival, along with a very useful folder of information about local places of interest, contacts etc . Everything was very clean and modern, lovely walk in shower, the linen freshly laundered and the bed was comfortable. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We would definitely recommend this lovely Lodge to others. Thanks again Hannah & David!

Nothing

What a gorgeous place this was! absolutely everything that you would ever need in the house and exceptionally clean and tidy. Super comfy bed with really really good pillows and duvet! Had a wonderful stay, wish we'd spent more time in the house rather than out and about!

It's not that I didn't like it, but a TV in the bedroom would be nice. However, this is absolutely NOT a critisism as not everyone likes a TV in the bedroom.

Lovely, well-equipped lodge.Tastefully decorated. Great bathroom and shower. Thoughtful added extras, eg fresh fruit, milk, juice, cakes and cookies.

Liked everything! ( although would have liked shower gel to be provided, as well as shampoo and conditioner)

The cottage was a perfect size for our 5 night stay.. it had all the comforts of home including Netflix & a washing machine ! And the location in Painswick just gorgeous. A quiet village with so much beauty & not too many tourists !!! The church & its stunning topiary ! WoW ! Thanks Hannah for the lovely scones & delicious biscuits 😋 & our stay in your cottage 10/10

Beautiful cottage with everything we needed for a cosy weekend in the Cotswolds. Very well equipped and all the furnishings had a luxurious boutique feel. Extremely well located also for leisurely long walks, and to explore the tea shops and restaurants in the one of the nicest villages in the Cotswolds. We will definitely return!

A quiet clean location, with a good bed.

Lack of storage space, unsafe to back out of into the back lane. The stovetop appeared to have an electric malfunction.

excellent property in a central location with an attentive owner

the curtains in the main sitting area were net which made the afternoons very hot . The temperature was only 20C so higher temperatures could be a problem.
