A wonderful stay

The cottage was exactly as described, with an easy check in process and a lovely welcoming atmosphere (including a delicious Bakewell Tart, thank you!). We had confidence to stay here with our multiple allergies to fragrance after communicating with the responsive hosts. Northleach was a handy location to explore large areas of the Cotswolds while having a quiet location to return to at the end of the day. We also enjoyed the local shops and visiting the special church up the hill. My mum and I had a fantastic stay.

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!

Great accommodation in Northleach

Really nice accommodation with quirky features reflecting the history of the building. Good sized bedrooms both en suite. Well equipped kitchen and comfy sitting and dining area. Log burning stove was great. Good to have an enclosed garden for our dog to be able to go outside without being on lead. Good pubs and handy shops in easy walking distance. An excellent base for exploring the Cotswolds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay,

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!

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.

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.

Everything was perfect at this cottage, it made a special weekend away with my daughter extra special. I could not fault the cottage at all, well equipped with everything you could need, a home from home. Location was great, the village was lovely. Really loved it.

Stunning cottage in a beautiful village

We booked to attend the Gold Cup at Cheltenham and do some sight seeing of the local area. The cottage was perfect, bright and clean, lovely friendly village, pubs and bars within walking distance. The host was most amiable and helpful with all my questions. We are hoping to visit again soon!

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!

Comfortable Haven in Well Located Village

Perfect stay with everything we needed and super comfortable beds. Centre of charming village just a short walk to restaurants, grocery shop, the river and a fascinating old church with bells tolling every 3 hours (also through the night). We thoroughly enjoyed the Northleach Self Guided Walking tour. Highly recommended!

Perfect location

Our stay was fantastic! Close distance to everything we wanted to see. The only “downside” is the mattress, much too soft, but a firmer mattress is our preference and this would not stop us from booking again! Book the Exchange Cottage for your next holiday! You will love everything about it!
