“The cottage was charming and ...”

The cottage was charming and everything we hoped for. There was all the information one could hope for and more. The welcome bottle of cava, the fruit and flowers were unexpected and a lovely touch. There were not only basic necessities in place, but also a myriad of other supplies including an excellently stocked kitchen and even fresh milk in the fridge. ...

The cottage was charming and everything we hoped for. There was all the information one could hope for and more. The welcome bottle of cava, the fruit and flowers were unexpected and a lovely touch. There were not only basic necessities in place, but also a myriad of other supplies including an excellently stocked kitchen and even fresh milk in the fridge. The Cotswolds lived up to their reputation too. It was a seamless and delightful break. Well done to Sykes and the owners of the cottage. Nick and Caroline King

“Lovely characterful cottage in a ...”

Lovely characterful cottage in a quiet village. Close to village shop, butchers, playground and several excellent pubs. Cottage would not be suitable for small children as stairs are very steep (as would be expected in a cottage of this age) and there are many knickknacks everywhere. Bed is rather uncomfortable. Lovely little garden which is ideal for eating outside and BBQs. We enjoyed our holiday.

“The photos did not do justice for ...”

The photos did not do justice for this cottage. The front patio area is huge and exceptionally private. Central tree for optional shade. We ate breakfast outside every morning plus "sundowners". Ideal inside if raining for 4 adults. Downstairs bathroom clean with good electric overbath shower. Stairs are steep but don't get too drunk!!! 3 decent dog friendly restaurants within walk. Google: Sun Inn- 50 metres away and very good food and choice of drinks. Pear Tree at end of Village good local simple food pub but we only drank there. Gate Hangs High is 2 km walk but worth it. All decent beers, choice of menu and beer gardens. Cottage directions rubbish - its right at the top of Bell Hill exactly opposite the entrance to the well stocked Spar on the High St. Very quiet, no boy racers, or slamming of car doors etc. Cottage so good we invited 2 friends to join us for a few days [in the bunk beds] and had a super time. Hook Norton Brewery Tour recommended. Pleasant Cava and chocs on arrival in cottage which had been spotlessly cleaned and well presented. Good local walks. Ideal for visiting local market towns. Loads of information and maps in the cottage. Coffee maker and all necessaries for a week there but take an ice cube tray with you. We'd stop there again and we're all around 60. Ignore the fussy earlier folks' comments.

“Property was advertised as for 4, ...”

Property was advertised as for 4, which would have been very uncomfortable had we had 4 adults as we originally planned

“excellent accomodation”

Thought I would write a review after reading the "disappointed" review earlier of same property. We stayed in July 2017 and not in the winter months as per previous review. In summer this property is warm but not over warm. It is situated in a nice village with plenty dog walks in area. Rental price was good for family of 4 plus dog. Not the biggest property but suited us fine. No WIFI which upset kids but that worked out as a plus as we actually talked. Small shop nearby that is well stocked. Aldi close by in Chipping Norton. Plenty to do locally including Hook Norton Brewery and Blenheim Palace. I recommend this property and would re-visit

excellent property. the kids complained that there was no wifi but I think that added to the holiday. Hook Norton is a nice village to stay in and plenty places to visit from Orchard Cottage. Highly recommended!

The property

A delightful 18th century terraced cottage ideally located in the heart of the pretty village of Hook Norton in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

As you step inside this charming cottage the owner's personal touches are evident, together with original features such as flagstone floor, exposed stone walls and ceiling beams.

Enter through a porch into the sitting room which has a warming open fire, comfortable seating and a dining area to seat all guests, ideal for catching up over dinner or enjoying a family board game.

To the rear is the well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar and a family bathroom.

Make your way upstairs to the two bright and cheery bedrooms, both having exposed wood floorboards and views over the village.

Outside is a sunny front patio with furniture, perfect for relaxing with a refreshing drink or dining alfresco on a summer's evening.

Take a stroll around the village which has a number of historic buildings, thriving village pubs, restaurants, shop and Post Office as well as the Hook Norton Brewery.

Moreton-in-Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water are all close by or take a trip to the riverside town of Banbury, Blenheim Palace or the university city of Oxford.

The birthplace of William Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Warwick with its magnificent castle also make great family days out.

A wonderful cottage for a memorable holiday at any time of year.
