Thank you for a lovely stay. This was a perfect spot to explore the Cotswolds. Being located in a small non touristy village was the highlight for us. The apartment was clean and had everything we required. The complementary milk and cake was very thoughtful as well! Would definitely recommend.

Ticked all the boxes

We needed a base for the racing at Cheltenham and this proved to be perfect. The rooms were clean and comfortable, we could park outside, great food and drink options in the village (including the Wheat Sheaf in easy staggering distance!)Would definitely use again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others

Lovely stay

Our family had a wonderful time at this quaint cottage. The village of Northleach was a great location for us to enjoy the Cotswold area for a few days. The village has a yummy pastry shop where we got breakfast every morning, a small convenience store, and a couple pubs/restaurants all about a 2 minute walk from the house. It was fun to walk around the village and explore the streets and neighborhoods. We enjoyed traveling to local sites also. We had a car and easily found parking on the street. The owners were quick to respond, kind, and helpful. Truly, it was a delightful stay and a great first stop on our first trip to England. Thank you so much!

Wonderful stay in a beautiful Village.

We had a wonderful stay. Perfectly situated between many other villages in the Cotswold area with short drives between. The beds were comfortable and the property had everything we needed for our 5 day stay. We plan to return on another visit.

Nice cottage & location

Great quirky cottage, accurately described in listing, handy village location with lovely eateries within walking distance. Mostly parked a short distance (2-3 minutes walk) away as road outside is steady at times with cars and with parking is narrow at points - not a big deal. Easy access to most of what's on offer in the Cotswolds. Had some nice evening meals at the Wheatsheaf Inn (about 15 metres away), brunch at coffee shop (Lynwood and Co) and wine bar (The Curious Wine Cellar) in the village centre, all a short walk away.

Wonderful!

We were very comfortable staying at Malt Cottage. The rooms were cosy yet had enough room for our suitcases so we didn't have to unpack for the 3 nights. The appliances and decor were modern and clutter-free. The cottage is just a short walk to the pubs/restaurants. Although it is on the main road through town, the noise didnt continue through the night, so our sleep wasn't disrupted. (Sidenote - The Sherborne Inn was Fantastic, both staff and food. Friendly and helpful, especially pl with dietary requirements. We found the staff at the Wheatsheaf Inn and to be quite unapproachable upon entry, even though we had a booking. After eye contact with numerous waiters and barstaff, we had to chase down a waiter to get seen to. The "Curious Wine Cellar" was even worse, and were not willing to discuss dietary requirements either.)

Delightful cottage & garden and

The cottage has everything you need for a home away from home. It is clean and comfortable and we enjoyed the enclosed garden as well. It’s perfectly situated in the little market town with good facilities and easy parking. Great dog walks on the doorstep and easily located to many famous Cotswold villages although we preferred to find the quiet hamlets with little coffee shops and pubs tucked away in the pretty countryside. Thank you so much. We had a great week.

This cottage although small was well appointed and well equipped. It was extremely clean and had essentials such as tea , coffee, sugar, milk and even a cake provided ! The old negative was the very steep steps but these would not worry younger visitors. Hope to stay again!

Die Wohnung ist an sich nicht schlecht, aber etwas lieblos eingerichtet. Die Treppe ins Dachgeschoss ist sehr steil und daher nur für größere Kinder geeignet. Der Hof ist zwar ziemlich groß aber recht karg und lädt nicht wirklich zum draußen sitzen ein. Parkplätze vor der Tür sind knapp und die Straße tagsüber durchaus ziemlich stark befahren. Allerdings ist die Lage an zwei der größeren Straßen für Ausflüge nach Bristol, Oxford oder Stonehenge ziemlich gut...Und es gibt einen sehr guten Fleischer im Ort mit hervorragenden Steaks und anderen Waren. War sogar vom angejahrten Webergrill im Hof des Cottage sehr lecker..

Perfect cottage

What a perfect little cottage in an "authentic" Cotswolds village. "Authentic" because you won't meet tourist coaches here but old cottages and cozy pubs. The house is absolutely perfect. That was our most "luxory" accommodation during our trip around England and it was nearly a shame that we were so much out of the house to see the Cotswolds... We enjoyed our stay so much!
