  • "This cottage is idyllic."

    Sited centrally in the beautiful village of Hook Norton and yet slighly tucked away down a short alley where you will enjoy a lovely garden and views of the countryside we felt that the situation was perfect. We had good food in The Sun Inn, and there is also a well stocked local store, both of which are only a minutes walk away. Also, the Hook Norton brewery is a short walk down the hill for local beer. The owners were very welcoming and the cottage itself was in immaculate order, very comfortable, and we had a great few days here.

  • "Excellent accommodation and the owners were very friendly and helpful - would definitely recommend this place."

    Location is very quiet but well placed for visiting sites in the Cotswolds

  • "Magdalen Cottage is a very comfortable and well-equipped cottage."

    Set slightly off the main road it's very peaceful with a lovely view from the seating area in the rear garden. The owners are very welcoming and helpful if you need them at all. All the bedrooms are a good size and have a good blend of traditional and contemporary features. A dining room separate from the kitchen and living room is a very nice setting if you cook for yourselves, the kitchen is well equipped. The living room is very spacious with comfortable seating and a mix of antique and new. The roadside parking was never a problem, even though we were there for Easter. There's a good selection of places to eat out around and about and a well-stocked village shop with some local produce. Hook Norton is a proper community still, not as touristy as some villages or towns in the Cotswolds. Thoroughly recommend a stay here. Only minor points were there was only 6 cups for tea/coffee - another set would have been handy and larger glasses for juice, water or long drinks. Similarly, another set of small coasters in the dining room would have been convenient.

    Thank you for your lovely comments. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and that you all had a lovely time. It's a great base to explore the Cotswolds from and we will of course pass on your comments to the Owner, with regards to a few extra mugs and coasters for the dining room. We would love to welcome you again soon for another stay with us. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

    The owners and the property manager made sure that everything was perfect for us. The location was convenient for visiting all over Oxfordshire and when we got back to the cottage every day it was like we were returning home. Very comfortable, well appointed, there was nothing that we would change. Looking forward to going back for another visit soon!

  • "Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Magdalen Cottage."

    Beautiful furniture, exceptionally clean and comfortable, and with the quintessential charm and cozy feel you can expect from a period Cotswolds Cottage. The owners are delightful and on-hand to offer advice and help if needed, and the village has a real gem in the Hook Norton brewery, shop & restaurant - definitely worth a visit. We cannot recommend Magdalen cottage highly enough and look forward to returning in the future.

    It was beyond all of our expectations in location, beauty, and comfort. The owners are amazing, friendly, and handle the rental with the utmost professionalism and care. The location is perfect for a home base while easily taking excursions out into the countryside. It is the place we prefer to stay while in the Cotswolds, and we give it our highest recommendation.

  • "We had a wonderful stay in a unique cottage in a very pretty Cotswold village!"

    The hosts were very attentive, always available for questions and tips, and took care of everything in a very friendly way (even though we had only booked a few hours in advance!). The house is in a quiet location, very clean, well-maintained, and lovingly furnished. It has two chic new bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, three lovely bedrooms with comfortable beds, and a really large, cozy living room. Personal highlights were the wonderful garden with several seating areas and the personalized furnishings with beautiful old furniture. The icing on the cake was the homemade orange marmalade, fresh bouquets upon arrival, apples and pears from the garden, and the books about English gardens, English history, and the monarchy. We felt very comfortable and can fully recommend the accommodation!

    The bed was extremely comfortable. Shelves in the shower-never seen that anywhere else Toiletries provided More loo rolls than most places Normally we have to buy some Tea/coffee provided and the home made marmalade and fresh flowers were a lovely surprise. Kitchen had everything we needed and more The shop was a good sized Budgens The owners Lesley and Paul were there to welcome us. Both them and Jackie were lovely people and on hand for any issues.

  • "Everything was fabulous."

    Thanks to our lovely hosts who were so thoughtful. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, stylish decor, quiet and gorgeous garden and patio. Lots of lovely touches like the fruit and flowers from the garden and chilled Prosecco in the fridge. Hook Norton is a great base to explore the Cotswolds, with a shop and 2 pubs a few minutes walk. As The Sun Inn served tasty food we visited it a few times. I can't think of anything to improve pur experience, definately 5 stars all round.

  • "We enjoyed a lovely stay at this beautiful, cosy cottage."

    It was well-equipped, clean, and comfortable — ideal for a relaxing break. Communication with the host was smooth and straightforward. The nearby playground was a hit with our child, and having a great pub within walking distance was a bonus. The views were lovely, and Hook Norton is a charming village worth exploring. Highly recommended!
