  Fern Cottage is absolutely lovely.

  We've stayed at around a dozen cottages in the last couple of years alone and Fern Cottage ranks amongst the best two or three that we've stayed in. As a couple, we have high expectations - and Fern Cottage delivered on all counts. The kitchen was extremely well-equipped, with plenty of chopping boards, sharp knives, oven ware and more tools and gadgets than we are used to having at most cottages. There were dishwasher tablets, washing machine pods and a handwash in the kitchen, too - and trust me when I say that not all cottages provide these essentials. For entertainment, there was also a digital radio as well as a Bluetooth speaker in the kitchen alone. There was also a generous welcome pack with bread, eggs, milk and a delicious sticky toffee pudding. The bed in the master bedroom was wide and the mattress very comfortable. The shower had excellent shower pressure. There was a bottle of handwash and hand cream in the bathroom - as well as a room fragrance. The whole cottage was clean and has been renovated in a fairly contemporary but sympathetic fashion. Adding to the overall ambience, there were plenty of framed prints, paper weights, books and other objects that made it feel very homely and warm. The long, narrow garden and patio were tidy and we enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying the sunshine that streams into the garden in the mornings and at lunchtime. Our dog very much enjoyed wandering up and down the garden and sniffing to his heart's content. The host (Jen) sent a warm email asking if we had any questions. We had no questions or problems so didn't need to get in touch with her. But I got the impression that she would have been warm and friendly if we had needed to contact her for anything. We would definitely recommend Fern Cottage.

  We booked a last minute 5 night break at Ferne Cottage, as we wanted to get the family (2 children aged 5 and 8) out of London for a few nights after months of lockdown.

  We had an absolutely wonderful time there and we honestly couldn't fault any part of the trip. Nick, the host was in touch soon after the booking to check on our needs and was always on hand for anything we needed whilst we were there. The cottage itself was exactly as described, extremely clean and tidy and had everything that we needed to enjoy our stay without having to bring lots of stuff from home - it was clear that the design of the cottage had been well thought out, Nick even left some bread and cake for our arrival along with charcoal for the BBQ and most importantly (for us anyway!), some coffee pods for the Nespresso machine!! - There was also plenty of local information once you arrived, with walking books and maps all available. Rooms were all very comfortable and extremely comfy pillows meant that I ordered one on my return to London! Location wise, great! We'd never been to the Cotswolds and Winchcombe is a lovely small town (but very much feels like a village) a short drive away from Broadway, a beautifully quintessential Cotswold village with lots of independent shops, boutiques and places to eat and drink (although due to COVID, we played it safe and stuck to an ice cream on a grassy verge!). Broadway tower was also a short drive away and well worth a visit, very well set up with cafe and a beautiful view across the surrounding countryside. I've already recommended the cottage to my family and would most definitely return. A thoroughly enjoyable trip.

  This was such a great property to stay in, the location could not have been better.

  The village of Blockley is so quintessential English and very picture postcard. The cafe and shop are located next door to the property, which is so handy for a great breakfast and of course provisions. The local ‘Great Western’ Pub along with the Cafe is very good for food and everyone is really friendly. The Cafe is what we would term as ‘fine dining’ but due to the basic but very comfortable interior, does not charge over the top prices. The food was outstanding but you do need to book in advance. We did some great walks with our dog and then back to the cottage for ‘sundowners’ in the lovely courtyard and to the sound of the church bells located just behind the property. In fact apart from the church bells and the odd horse clip clopping by, you could hear a pin drop. Everywhere is within close proximity to the village, which makes it a good base to stay. The cottage was spotless and catered for all our needs, the bed was very comfortable and the en-suite shower a joy. We did stay during a very hot and sunny week (13/06-17/-6) which I know we were extremely lucky with and even better that we could go down to the bedroom at night, which had remained lovely and cool. We would definitely recommend The Bath House and will most certainly stay there again.

  We have just had a wonderful week at Fern Cottage and genuinely could not recommend it more!

  The property is spotlessly clean, welcoming and cosy; not to mention beautifully decorated! The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need (and more) - dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine and a Bluetooth speaker. Relaxing in the living room of an evening is a real delight, there are plenty of books and magazines, a fabulous fire and Netflix on the TV. Upstairs the Master bedroom is very comfortable with luxury bed linen and fluffy towels.The views out to the rear are incredible - a real highlight for us. In terms of location, we really enjoyed being in the centre of the stunning Cotswold town of Winchcombe, which has plenty of local restaurants, shops and cafes, plus a lovely little bakery. The cottage is a short walk away from Sudeley Castle, which is well worth a visit, whilst other local walks take in the surrounding countryside. Winchcombe is close to Broadway, Chipping Campden and Stow-on-the-Wold, as well as being a 15 minute drive to Cheltenham. We also enjoyed visiting Bath for the day. We can tell a lot of thought and effort has gone into the renovation of this period property, and it is all the little details that make it really stand out from the crowd. We will definitely be back!

  Fern Cottage was totally amazing.

  It was so well equipped, we absolutely loved staying there and cannot honestly think of any negatives. It was so cosy and warm. The owners left the best welcome pack ever too, including...fresh flowers, wine, cake and Nepresso coffee pods. You have to park at the rear of the cottage, on Silk Mill Lane as there are double yellow lines on both sides at the front of the property. There was a proper dedicated space though so this didn't bother us at all. The cottage was right in the centre of Winchcombe, which was a lovely place with plenty of cafes, antique shops, restaurants and pubs...no need to get the car out. There's also a Michelin star restaurant but we didn't go so can't comment. There's a brilliant Co Op on Greet Street...a 5 minute walk. It's much better stocked then the shop on North Street. The owners left a folder with info about the history of the cottage and local walks, which we found really useful. Our Frenchie Rosie enjoyed her stay aswell...she loved sunbathing in the South facing 'suntrap' garden. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fern Cottage and can definitely recommend it. We will visit again as there's still plenty that we want to see in The Cotswolds :)
