Half-term holiday stay
The location of the property was perfect to visit other areas of the Cotswolds. The property was quiet and had everything you needed to make it feel like home. The beds were so comfortable and have never slept so well. It was peaceful and relaxing and was lovely to hear the church bells even through the night. The location was ideal to explore and walk around the village and countryside. Would stay here again and highly recommend.

The cutest Cotswold cottage
This cottage was perfect for our stay. The hosts have really kept this property up with modern features and tons of charm. The only thing better than the accommodations was the town. Met the sweetest locals and had our fill of good food and drinks. We will absolutely be coming back to stay!

I want to live here!
Very central to various places in the Cotswolds but such a joy to return to and to get up in each morning. Everything was there that we needed and I enjoyed the outside space to sit and read a bit and to dry some laundry. So bright and airy, roomy….we just loved Exchange Cottage and would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Lovely few days in Northleach
Property is ideally situated in Northleach, which is a great starting point to explore the cotswolds. Northleach has some great restaurants and pubs. Some lovely walks around northleach as well. The property is neat and tidy, with plenty of amenities. The bedrooms are spacious with great showers, the outside bits are a bonus when the British summer allows! Great communication from the owners,

Perfect quirky cottage in a lovely village
This is our second stay here and we came to tour the Cotswolds. The cottage is perfect and has everything you need, the village has a lovely restaurant within east walking distance and it is located within easy reach of visiting other local villages and towns. So much history and beautiful buildings and sights to see!

Perfect little cottage!
Perfectly situated to explore the Cotswolds! The town itself is so nice to walk around and take in the history. The cottage is perfect for a small family. It was a nice touch to have coffee stocked and a supply of books and movies for a cozy night in! The garden is also so sweet and I enjoyed drinking my morning coffee and listening to the church bells. We hope to be back!

Wonderful !
We spent 2 weeks in this lovely cottage . The hosts were wonderful - very helpful, friendly and quick to respond . The cottage was very comfortable and even had its own fenced in garden. It was very quiet and peaceful as well. WiFi was fast and reliable. The town of Northleach is small and very cute , and the location is quite close to many other places in the Cotswolds but without all the tourists! There is a very small grocery store in town and other bigger grocery stores within 10 minutes drive from the cottage. I highly recommend this place! Thanks !

Family get-together
It was just right for the 3 of us. Its situation, within walking distance of shops, pubs, etc. was excellent. There was lots of dog walks in open countryside......... she loved it! One minor grouse - the cooker was qite complicated, and the instructions in the welcome pack didn't fit the exact model of cooker. Otherwise, we loved Exchange cottage, and we loved Northleach........ we'll be back
