Guests have enjoyed stays at 1 The Lane, appreciating its quiet, picturesque Cotswold setting and well-equipped kitchen. The garden is a highlight, offering a tranquil space to relax. The property is praised for its spaciousness and comfort, with special mention of the super beds. Communication with the owner is noted as excellent, and small welcome gestures have been appreciated.
The property is generally described as clean, with one mention of a dog smell upon arrival and some dog hairs found. However, the majority of guests did not raise cleanliness as an issue, indicating a high standard of cleanliness overall.
The location is highly praised for its quiet, rural setting in the Cotswolds, with proximity to local towns and attractions. The picturesque surroundings and easy access to footpaths and bridleways contribute to the positive feedback.
The property is considered very comfortable by most guests, with special compliments to the beds and the garden. Some concerns were raised about draughts from single-glazed windows and a soft mattress in one room, but overall the comfort level is rated highly.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the kitchen equipment and WiFi. However, there are comments about the lack of non-softened drinking water, a noisy wine cooler, and issues with hot water and TV operation. The driveway is also noted as tight for parking multiple cars.
While guests have mentioned welcome gestures such as biscuits and chocolate truffles, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of these thoughtful touches across all stays. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such gifts will be provided.

Other than that everything was on point with the furnishings, decor and facilities .

The house itself is beautifully secluded, but still within easy distance to Moreton-In-Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Chipping Norton for all the essentials. The welcome box of biscuits and crisps, as well as dog treats was a nice touch. The garden is a highlight of the house. Only minor gripes would be the driveway being a bit awkward to get in and out of, and the shower head in the upstairs bathroom and the lights in the kitchen being a bit low (though only due to my 6â5â frame!). Overall we were really happy with our stay here, and would happily return in the future.
