Rural Cotswold Cottage in grounds of beautiful Nell House
The Cottage at Nell House is a beautiful oak framed conversion sleeping 4 in two bedrooms. It is located on the edge of the small and peaceful country village of Hannington in the South Cotswolds where the counties of Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire meet. The village has a "pub" within walking distance and is a great base for exploring the Cotswolds in your car. It is a 90 minute drive from Heathrow Airport.
The cottage has an open plan kitchen living area on the ground floor, with a well equipped kitchen including dishwasher and microwave, and a seating area including two sofas and large TV. There is a twin bedroom on the ground floor as well as a toilet and shower room. The entire upstairs floor is an en-suite double bedroom with separate seating area, sofa and TV. The staircase is open to the ground floor.
The cottage sits in the landscaped grounds of Nell House, with a large decking area, gas BBQ, and outdoor seating for 4. It overlooks the lake and is surrounded by wildlife such as moorhens, ducks, fish and if you're lucky deer and a kingfisher.
There are extensive grounds including a croquet lawn and fields with farm animals.
Unusually for rural areas Ultrafast Broadband of 100 Mbps++ is included making working from the cottage or streaming movies on the Smart TV very easy.

Lovely country cottage
Directions and arrival instructions were accurate and easy to follow.
The cottage is well appointed and spacious. Access to the upstairs bathroom is a little restricted but not a significant problem.
As mentioned in the owners description, transport is required as there is nothing in the immediate area. However this means it's a lovely quiet countryside environment.
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage and the lovely area.

Hidden Gem
Cosy cottage in a peaceful location. Kitchen equipment was totally acceptable but would benefit from an upgrade. An ideal rental for people who like nature, birds and wildlife. James and Jo were very welcoming and helpful.

relaxing environment when working away
Ideal location and facilities. Two separate bedrooms each with own bathroom facilities and space to independently watch tv/relax/IT if necessary and socialise comfortably in the shared open plan dining/kitchen/lounge area. Wonderful hosts and superb grounds. A delightful view from every window. Loved it!!

A special place where you can connect with nature.
The owners live in the main house in close proximity and were welcoming, friendly, helpful and approachable without being intrusive.
The grounds (in which we were free to roam) around the cottage are amazing and are home to three horses (and their stables), runner ducks and sheep in a peaceful setting. And there is a lovely big pond at the back of the cottage where breakfast can be enjoyed on a large patio deck.
The cottage itself is well equipped and perfect for a couple or a couple with two children. Four adults may find it a little cosy. I am 6’5” in old money and found that head and shoulder room moving around upstairs could be a little awkward but a minor inconvenience considering everything on offer.
We certainly enjoyed our week here with plenty to do and see in the area.

Amazing Cottage
Communication was fantastic before we even arrived. Jo and James are incredibly nice. Their daughters are delightful. They all made us feel at home from the start. The cottage is so lovely and much larger than I had anticipated. It was fully stocked with everything we could need for our two week stay. Lots of storage and closet space. The WiFi was super fast. We were able to work from the cottage with no issues. The property is so much more beautiful than I had anticipated (and I had high expectations). The pictures do not do it justice. I can not say enough good things about Nell Cottage and Jo and James. Thank you for making our two week quarantine easy.
