Charming Cotswold cottage

Easterleigh felt like the quintessential Cotswold cottage - full of charm and character. Great Rissington is a lovely village with great access to all the central Cotswolds’ ‘big hitters’. We took Sunday lunch at the local Lamb Inn, which was excellent. Our group of six - two grandparents, two parents, two kids <10 were very comfortable for a week, and would happily return. Thanks, Mark!

Darling Cottage with modern conveniences

I wanted to stay in a quintessential English cottage in the Cotswolds and this was definitely it. Well appointed and comfortable with modern bathrooms and conveniences. The host was quick to respond to any questions and provided detailed information in his house manual about the area and suggested things to do. We walked to the local pub/inn "The Lamb Inn" for a meal and a Guinness. Good food and friendly locals. The cottage is also close to the public walking paths for a scenic stroll. We loved it and highly recommend.

Cotswolds dreams came true !

The most beautiful property with all modern conveniences close enough to be easily accessible yet far enough away to make the town seem magical. We enjoyed all the information that Mark sent to us in advance of our stay. The house was immaculate. We really enjoyed the e bikes we rented from Cotswold ebikes and the beautiful homes and churches that were just right out the front door.

The Christmas break that was moved to June.

This is a lovely property, but more suitable for four or five people. It was built when property’s were smaller. We spent a lot of time in the garden, as the weather was hot! A umbrella to have some shade would have been nice, and some tall glasses so we could have had a long drink, there were only very small glasses. Three bathrooms were a big plus though, and lots of hot water. Very good pub, The Lamb, which we went to twice, only a five minute walk away. Mark was very accommodating moving our break from Christmas, when we were told we couldn’t travel, to June. I can see why he brought the property, the Cotswolds are beautiful.

Cottage Home

We really like the Great Rissington area. House it very cute. We only stayed 2 nights, but I could see it being used for more nights to truly unwind. We actually didn’t realize there was a “secret garden” past the gate in the first back yard until our second day. We enjoyed just sitting in the backyard and watching the clouds go by (we had amazing weather). Our only negative is one of the bathroom toilets didn’t work which was ok because there were only 4 of us and 3 bathrooms. Also, sad we didn’t ever get to eat at the lamb inn. If you want to eat there make a reservation. The first night we tried to eat there at 8:00 pm and the cook had left. The second night they were completely book. So had to drive 15 minutes to dinner, when a simple walk to dinner would have been so nice. I would recommend this cottage to anyone.

A lovely weekend

Perfect location to enjoy the area from. Cottage is lovely and cosy. Beds comfy, sitting room cosy and having three bathrooms a great bonus. Fantastic views from the upstairs bedrooms and the village is stunning. Would recommend the cottage highly and would love to return. We were very lucky with the weather which meant we saw the village at its best as well as surrounding locations but our only negative feedback for a stay in the area, which has nothing to do with this cottage specifically, is that The Lamb Inn in the village. It wasn't what we expected having heard about it on a previous visit to the area but having failed to make it there that time. It seems it has changed hands and to be honest the staff were not overly customer focussed. We have a few tales to tell from our evening meal there!!! We all said that our meals were tasty which is the main aim, but the place was lacking atmosphere, there was a massive TV with football on in the bar area, which I guess is great if that's what you want and they actually switched off the lights in one section after the table based there left.....time to leave cue I guess except it was only 930.....to be honest it's worth going further afield to find a more cosy experience. A shame as people had spoken so highly of it. Still it was entertaining for the wrong reasons and definitely didn't spoil a lovely weekend.

Basically good with reservations

The property is attractive to look at, spacious and cosy. It has some disappointing shortcomings, for example - the Wi-Fi password listed in the email communication and in the welcome brochure was incorrect which necessitated contacting the local agent. She supplied the correct one confirming she had informed the owner previously. No wash tabs available and limited dishwasher tabs, only enough logs for two days during our stay ( where do you obtain logs and wash tabs late on Christmas Eve). The remote control of the heating via the local agent was not an ideal situation especially as we couldn’t light a fire when required. Although when the heating was on the cottage was warm and cosy. The cottage shows a Rayburn but you are not encouraged to use it due to the high cost of electricity. We are strangers to the area and found the instructions for disposal of waste some what ambiguous, plus the box for waste paper appeared to be missing. It would be useful if a new and up to date instruction brochure was provided for all current equipment and waste collection days. The cottage would be excellent for a summer stay but needs fine tuning for winter. The local agent was excellent and went out of her way to help before and during our stay.

Celebrating Cotswolds & Family!

We really enjoyed the feeling of Easterleigh Cottage and the neighborhood was lovely with sheep & flowers! We not only celebrated our 50th anniversary, but also our son-in-law’s birthday with a chocolate cake that our 16-yr. old GrandGirl baked with yummy ice cream from the Coop! We also celebrated Fathers Day a bit early with Chinese food at Burford Inn. It would have been helpful to have instructions on calling a friend in Surrey. When we lived here, there was a section in phone book about that, but couldn’t find anything there, & the manager didn’t respond to our phone request to call us. Also, you would like to know that the baseboards in the downstairs shower aren’t sealed & are pulling away from the wall. My engineer-woodworking guys think the shower can get water behind the baseboards & rot the wood. All in all, we thank you for a fun time in our beloved Cotswolds! We’d certainly come again!

Great Cottage Great Location

Stayed at Easterleigh Cottage April 2019 with my wife, daughter and family. It lived up to all our expectations and more. Quite location but a pleasant 5 minute walk to an excellent pub with restaurant, The Lamb Inn. The cottage was warm and comfortable, clean and well kempt. With an easy short drive to Bourton-on-the-Water and accessible to all of the Cotswold's. The kitchen has all you will need cooker, Aga, fridge/freezer, dish washer, washer and dryer. Bedrooms are well appointed with plenty of bath & shower rooms. Highly recommended, who definitely book again for a trip to the Cotswold

Easterleigh cottage

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the cottage! It’s on a quiet road with no through traffic! The village itself is very quaint and everyone is so friendly! The cottage had lots of room for our family of four, including my elderly grandmother. Do it was nice that she had a bedroom and shower room downstairs! The house was nice and warm and we even lit the fire one night. The house is well equipped and has everything you will need. We ate at the lamb inn every night and the food was yummy! Highly recommend! There’s a co-op market 5 mins away if you need any supplies. Overall had a great time!

A lovely cottage in a great setting.

Clean and very well equipped, with comfortable beds, and plenty of room. Excellent provision of linen with good towels. Very quiet location, but fairly close to Bourton on the Water. Good bathrooms with efficient showers, and hot water. We experienced a problem with the central heating. When the weather turned quite chilly we could not initially get any heating as there were no up-to-date instructions. Once we eventually found a way to start it working it was nice and warm. Altogether a very enjojable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Fox

I have an obsession about personal service, not just machines with endless tape recordings an options and waiting 20 minutes to be answered!

I always make sure that I or my agents are available at the end of my mobile if needed. My motto is "personal holidays with personal service".Almost 1000 guests a year now stay at my holiday homes. The average rating of over 250 online reviews is 4.9! I try to deliver consistency and quality.

We are all from London. I am a retired banker and my wife is a doctor. We started buying holiday homes because we were consistently disappointed with the quality of other places when we started renting self-catering places as a young family. Hotels didn't offer proper flexibility for small kids, and self-catering was either very basic or ridiculously expensive jetset places.

Our children are now 18,17 and 14, but the business has grown as we found that others like our choice of locations and standards. Some of our guests have stayed in all five of our holiday homes, sometimes 3 or 4 times in the same one.

Why they chose this property

The most important factor is the village. Many properties are listed in busy tourist villages such as Burford or Bourton. We wanted a genuine farming village, not a tourist place, but one that had all the charm of a Cotswold village, with pub, church, etc.

The property is an unusual blend of feeling like a very traditional cottage, but properly modernised, yet not losing any of that tradition. It is quiet, there is lots of parking and a large garden.

What makes this property unique

See the comments about the village above! the 15th century pub is just five minute's walk away. The church is more than 1000 years old, there are Norman graves in the church yard. Visit the tapestry of the village beneath the bell tower and you can find the cottage woven into it!

The cottage is furnished with appropriate furnishings and lighting so that it feels like a country cottage. There is even a library of books to enjoy.
