Our second visit to Chestnut Cottage & once again it was a wonderful relaxing stay.
Fiona goes the extra mile with home made goodies & flowers to welcome us. The cottage was spotless and extra hand wash and gel, but it was great as an escape from the outside World.
Fiona ordered some Autumn sunshine and once again suggested some good local walks, shops, pubs etc and the information folder was bang up to date. We ventured further into the Cotswolds & pre booked a couple of National Trust visits & pub meals - Bibury & The Swan and Hidcote & The Ebrington Inn, and the most amazing garden shop

A wonderful place to spend some quality family time playing board games, country walks, BBQs in the sun and generally recharging the batteries. We really appreciated Fiona's delicious home-baked treats on arrival, a lovely personal touch. Highly recommended.
