About this property

Box Cottage - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Box Cottage is a small but perfectly formed 200-year-old Cotswold cottage hidden away in a quiet spot behind Broadway's bustling main street. Postcard-worthy exteriors give way to a homely and welcoming interior that has everything you need for a stay in one of the Cotswold's most popular destinations. Inside you'll find charming interiors with exposed wooden beams, original windows, and stunning parquet floors. On the ground floor, there's a cosy living room, dining room and compact and bijou kitchen that has everything you need. Upstairs are two well-appointed, spacious bedrooms and the cottage bathroom with a double shower and a wonderful, high ceiling.

Tucked behind Box Cottage is a charming courtyard garden, enveloped by traditional Cotswold stone walls and a beautiful wisteria-clad pergola, offering welcome shade on sunny days. It's the perfect spot for dining on warm evenings after a busy day exploring the beautiful Cotswolds.

Ground Floor

Entrance Hall:
As you step through the traditional front door, you'll find yourself in a light-filled hallway with whitewashed stone walls and parquet flooring. There are hooks for hanging outdoors coats and a handy box bench where you can sit to remove walking boots. There's also a cloakroom with a WC hidden away beneath the stairs.

Dining Room:
The charming dining room is beautiful in its simplicity. Pale walls and décor set off the warm wood of the parquet flooring and the circular dining table which seats four. Natural light flows into the room from the original window with views out to the courtyard.

Kitchen:
The galley-style kitchen leads off the dining room and although small in size has everything you need for a self-catering stay with an electric oven and hob, fridge-freezer, and a dishwasher. The pale grey design adds to the feeling of light and space. There's a tiny tea making nook squeezed in as well.

Living Room:
The cosy living room is furnished in the same pale, calming palette of colours with a comfy sofa, and two armchairs. The original stone fireplace is no longer in use but remains a focal point of the room. The traditional equine art on the walls is a subtle nod to Broadway's history as an important coaching hub of the Cotswolds. Natural light flows in through the dual aspect windows, there's also a door to the enclosed courtyard garden.

First Floor
Bedroom 1:
The master bedroom is light and bright with a wonderful dual aspect. The focal feature is the intricately carved mahogany antique French-style, king-size bed. This spacious room also features built-in wardrobes, dressing table and mahogany nightstands with reading lamps.


Bedroom 2:
The second bedroom at Box Cottage is light and spacious with twin beds, making it perfect for children or friends sharing. It can however also be made up as a double on request. There's plenty of storage with a built wardrobe and a dressing table. There's also a throw-back to the Victorian era with a handbasin tucked behind the door. This room is also dual aspect so there is plenty of natural light.


Bathroom:
The family shower room has a wonderful double shower, Victorian-style handbasin and a lovely high ceiling, adding to the feeling of light and space. Like the other rooms throughout the cottage, there's a large window flooding the bathroom with natural light.Outside
This lovely, hidden away cottage has an enclosed, courtyard garden and is the perfect spot for outdoor dining with a wrought-iron four-seater table and chairs and a wooden dining set, which sits beneath a wisteria-covered wooden pergola. Or just enjoy evening drinks or a tranquil morning coffee before the day's adventure begin.

Gorgeous homely cottage, conveniently located
The cottage itself is extremely comfortable with everything you could need and stylishly decorated. The private garden is beautiful and a lovely place to sit and relax, with birds, squirrels and a cat visiting along the back wall! The cottage is conveniently tucked in behind the high street and has nearby parking in a quiet street. Broadway offers a range of lovely shops and places to eat and is located close to places of interest. I highly recommend Box Cottage.

I booked the Cottage on behalf our relatives visiting from America. They really loved Box Cottage, and thought it was perfect, with all the English charm, yet with all the modern conveniences. They thought the patio garden was delightful, and everything inside the Cottage was catered for their needs. It is a great location right in the heart of Broadway village, yet very quiet and peaceful.

A perfect cottage for the best getaway!
This was our first time in the Cotswolds and it couldn't have been more perfect. The cottage is so cute and cozy. The neighbors are friendly and helpful. Broadway is a wonderful town to walk around in and enjoy the beautiful setting. Restaurants are solid and shoppes are nice. Couldn't have asked for a better cottage to stay in.

Lovely Cottage Stay!
My daughter and I really enjoyed our time at Box Cottage. It is beautiful inside, very clean and comfortable, and because it was Christmastime, they even decorated the living room with a small tree! It was very convenient for us to walk around Broadway, safe and quiet, and I'm sure the back garden area is a wonderful place to hang out in summer. I'd love to stay there again!

Fantastic location to explore the Cotswold
The cottage was wonderful and ideally located. The village of Broadway has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The coop is a short walk from the cottage and has everything you need for groceries and drinks. Parking is a bit tricky behind the cottage on Back Lane but we were always able to find a spot to park. Highly recommend this cottage for exploring the Cotswolds!

Perfect Cottage. Perfect Location
The Box Cottage was just perfection in a very magical part of the world. The garden provided a private outdoor escape, the bedrooms snug and comfortable and beds good, the kitchen well provisioned, and reception area roomy and comfortable. It’s literally steps away from all that Broadway has to offer while feeling like a secluded hideaway. It’s also easy to get anywhere in the Cotswolds, and perfect for exploring points north like Coventry and Iron Bridge or east to Oxford. Highly recommended!

Excellent Choice
An absolutely charming cottage. The location was perfect with just a few short steps from the car and from the main high street. It was warm and clean. Everything we needed was provided for. Broadway has the most amazing deli, restaurants and bars all within walking distance of the cottage. The garden was fabulous to take your early morning coffee and evening drinks. The bathroom was clean and had everything you need (obviously not toiletries). The kitchen is small but compact and very useful and the living room is very comfortable. Overall a fabulous weekend and I genuinely cannot wait to return!

A week at Box Cottage
We spent a wonderful week at this cottage. The location cannot be beat and the cottage itself is comfortable, very well-equipped and spacious. We had one issue (beyond anyone's control) but everyone involved was responsive and efficient in getting it sorted out. A great spot!

Box Cottage, Broadway, The Cotswolds
Box Cottage is a very pretty, well maintained cottage in the beautiful village of Broadway in the Cotswolds! The cottage is situated just off the main high street in a quiet pedestrianised lane. The cottage has a lovely courtyard garden with tables and chairs and a bbq for those lovely summer evenings! The inside is equipped with all the facilities needed for a pleasant stay. Broadway itself has an array of lovely gift shops, pubs, restaurants and public footpaths for walking off those who extra calories whilst also enjoying the beautiful countryside!. It is also conveniently situated to explore the other highlights that the Cotswolds has to offer.

Mixed experience
Box cottage is situated in a charming row of terraced cottages tucked away behind Broadway main street. Although the cottage was well stocked with all you would need for your stay, was clean and it was easy to communicate with the manager, we were rather disappointed with our choice. Contrary to the pictures we saw, it felt dark, cold, damp and rather unloved. We also had problems with a wasp infestation and a smoke alarm which went off every morning. Hopefully these issues have now been resolved and perhaps we were unlucky, but we all felt that the cottage could do with an update.

Character cottage, excellent location
Beautiful period cottage in the centre of one of the most picturesque villages in the Cotswolds. Wonderful secluded walled sunny garden. Several excellent restaurants and pubs as well as shops within a very short walking distance. While there is generally adequate parking this can on occasions be awkward due to unauthorised usage of the space available. That said I have booked this accommodation on 2 occasions, covering 13 nights in total, and only had a major problem once.

Great stay in this lovely cottage!
We really enjoyed our stay at Box Cottage. The location is perfect to enjoy all that Broadway has to offer. The cottage is very quaint and well equipped. The weather was perfect during the week of our stay and we were able to enjoy sunny evenings in the large rear courtyard. Would definitely stay again if we are ever back in the area.

Beautiful property in Broadway
The property was very comfortable, and the checkin easy. The directions to parking at the back of the property was very good and reasonably easy to follow. The main complaint would be the double bed, as the mattress was very uncomfortable for 2 adults, meaning that one of us ended up sleeping on the lounge downstairs each night. The hot water also ran out every day with a family of 4 showering. Apart from that the property suited our needs and was a great base for exploring the Cotswolds, and a relaxing stay.

Cosy countryside cottage
Lovely little cottage, very convenient for main high street shops, restaurants etc but still in quiet tucked away spot. Cottage much bigger than expected with lovely furnishings and secluded walled garden. It was a little chilly there but it was December and parking is a bit difficult. I would recomend though for a couple of nights break visiting the local area.

June 2019 stay
We enjoyed our stay at Box Cottage, finding that it was well represented in photos and description. The location was excellent, being a one minute walk from the picturesque Main Street and a short stroll to the supermarket. The cottage was clean and provided all the facilities we needed. Our only negative comment would be that many light globes were not working, leading to some areas which were somewhat dark. I found the bedding/ mattress comfortable, however my wife considered them yo be too hard.
