About this property

Hope Cottage, Naunton - Dog friendly with a wood burner and garden

A very short walk from the village pub in Naunton you arrive at Hope Cottage, a rural bolthole for two which fills you with comfort. After enjoying the surrounding Cotswold countryside, it is a delight to return to this homely Cotswold stone cottage for your getaway.

Stepping through the front stable door into the kitchen you can take off your boots at the wooden bench before popping the kettle on for a cup of tea out in the sunny and secluded garden. The kitchen has a wooden dining table where you can enjoy romantic home cooked meals together when you're not wining and dining at one of the local inns. In the cosy living room curl up on the plump sofa under the wooden beams and relax to the crackling fire in the wood burner. The shuttered windows look out over the quiet lane, used more by walkers than cars.

Upstairs is the king-size bedroom where you can hide away in the mornings enjoying the tranquillity of your retreat. Perhaps your partner will even cook up a breakfast feast to fuel you for the day of exploring that's ahead. The spacious bathroom has a shower over the bath giving you the option for a slow soak or an invigorating start.

The patio garden is fully enclosed making a private sun trap and there is a bench and table and chairs for you to spend time out here. From Hope Cottage you can join the Windrush Way or Wardens Way which passes the front door and takes you to Upper and Lower Slaughter and Bourton-on-the-Water.

Ground Floor

Kitchen/Diner:
The front door opens into the kitchen/diner where there is a wooden dining table with plenty of space to serve delicious meals which have been prepared in the kitchen. The units cover two walls with copious storage space for any supplies you bring with you for your holiday. There is a wooden bench and a small window seat beneath the shuttered front window. A door at the back of the room takes you out on to the patio and there is a subtle slope down into the living room.

Living Room:
In the living room is a sumptuous two-seater sofa and a separate armchair. The wood burner in its stone surround is the highlight of this room but there is also a smart TV for evening entertainment. There is a wooden floor and wooden beams in the room and two windows look out over the lane.

First Floor

Stairs from the living room take you up to the first floor with a bathroom and bedroom.

Bathroom:
The spacious bathroom has a WC, sink, and a shower over the bath. There is a heated radiator for keeping towels and under floor heating.

Bedroom One:
The wooden king-size bed sits under the beamed ceiling and offers a quiet environment for a good night's sleep. A wardrobe provides storage and there is a floor length mirror and wooden towel rail.

Outside
The garden is fully enclosed with planted beds at the sides adding colour in the sunnier months and herbs fill the air with the scent of rosemary. A wooden bench is perfect for sitting with a book and there is a bistro set for meals and drinks. To the front of the cottage there is a private parking space for one car.

A wonderful Cotswold cottage
It’s perfectly situated with Bourton on the Water, Broadway and Stow in the Wold all nearby. The cottage is tastefully decorated with a wonderful log burner, fully equipped kitchen and comfy bed. Lovely pub just 1 minute away.

Hope Cottage
Hope Cottage is a beautiful property in the village of Naunton. It is close to the local Pub and the Wardens Way footpaths. There is a lovely private outdoor space to the rear and parking to the front. I would recommend staying here. The only things that could be improved would be a more comfy bed and sofa and a few touch ups to the decor. The stair bannister also needs attention. Overall, a lovely stay.

Beautiful village
Beautiful village, nice accommodation for 2 people, but cottage a little tired in places but a perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds. Our 2nd Bolthole Retreat in what is becoming our annual February trip to the area. Personal opinion, sofa very low down which we both found uncomfortable, TV small to view with limited channels.

A perfect Bolthole retreat
A beautiful cottage and a perfect location to explore the Cotswolds. Comfortable cozy romantic and would completely recommend if you are looking for a romantic break or to explore the surrounding area. The village has a lovely pub which on our stay was vibrant and nicely busy. The village is peaceful and very quiet, in fact we had more horses pass the cottage than cars. We definitely will book again

Excellent cottage, more spacious than photos suggest
We loved it here - the little village is extremely picturesque. The cottage is on the road but there is no through traffic and the village is tiny so it's not a problem. The cottage is more much roomy than the photos suggest, especially the bedroom - we were quite surprised! Would definitely stay again.

Hope Cottage review
Great location in a beautiful Cotswolds village with a friendly local pub in strolling distance. Cottage is charming and comfortable but could just do with a bit of tlc when it comes to furnishings and decor, for example the curtains in the bedroom and handles missing on a few cupboard doors. The oven/grill also needed a clean. We appreciated the log fire and bathroom was nice and spacious.

Cozy cottage in rural town
Such a beautiful cottage in a tiny and picturesque Cotswold town. It’s very well equipped and comfortable, although some further amenities such as body wash/soap, shampoo and conditioner would make it a better experience. Close to bourton and stow but peaceful with horses as the only traffic passing by.

Short summer stay
Pub nearby was nice, but closed much earlier than advertised. Great for walking and for peace and quiet. Village could have done with a small village store.

A lovely little get away
We stayed here for 2 nights. It’s a lovely quiet little location and the cottage is fitted out to a high specification. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. My only concern was the cleanliness - the trays in the oven hadn’t been cleaned and some of the kitchen plates etc had to be washed again before we used them. The sofa in the living room was a little smelly so could probably do with a steam clean but on the whole we had a really pleasant stay here and would recommend it.

Hope cottage.
Lovely location in quiet pretty village ,pub very friendly. There was no heating on when we arrived and the cottage was cold. There were no extra blankets, the blanket on the bed wasn’t big enough to cover both of us and it was thin, for the bed and we spent a cold 1st night. Some lamps would make the cottage lounge more cosy as the bare bulbs were harsh an too bright consequently someone before us had unscrewed some of the bulbs. There is a prominent sign in the lounge with a fictitious wi fi password on it ! My husband was able to figure out how to connect from the hub but without him I would have had no idea.

Nice cottage, lovely location. Heater in living room didn’t seem to work but the wood burner gave plenty of warmth (but no kindling glad I brought my own!). No batteries in radio was a shame, couldn’t find any spares.
