Guests say

Meadow View is a well-received cottage in Warwickshire, praised for its picturesque location and welcoming atmosphere. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, including a welcome pack and dog-friendly amenities. The property offers beautiful views, a peaceful village setting, and is considered a sanctuary by many. It serves as a convenient base for exploring the Cotswolds and surrounding areas.

The cottage is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with only one mention of an issue with cleanliness regarding a previous pet's presence. This appears to be an isolated incident, hence the high score.

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and proximity to local attractions and walks. It is deemed perfect for exploring the Cotswolds and other nearby areas.

While the cottage is often described as cosy and the bed as comfortable, several guests found the lounge seating to be very uncomfortable. The comfort of the seating has impacted the score in this category.

The cottage is well-equipped with modern conveniences, though some guests noted the absence of a freezer (which was later provided) and the small size of the TV. The responsive host addressed heating issues promptly, reflecting good maintenance.

Guests frequently mention the thoughtful welcome pack and provisions for dogs, which contribute to the cottage's charm. However, as these gifts may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay, the score reflects this consideration.

About this property

Banbury 6.8 miles. Found in the small civil parish of Farnborough, is this gorgeous 1850s terraced house, complete with classic red brickwork, right in the centre of this tranquil village. Meadow View is encompassed by lush countryside views, perfect for a peaceful romantic sanctuary for two. Make yourself at home in the elegant open-plan sitting room, which is a mix of traditional brickwork and light paint; get cosy on the plush bold french linen sofa and admire the art deco fireplace, complete with an electric woodburning-effect stove that will warm the room as you enjoy catching up on your favourite TV programmes. The dining area is close by and is great for enjoying all your meals throughout your stay; resting behind is the lovely kitchen where you can rustle up a breakfast in bed, cook a romantic meal or bake some scrumptious cakes, fitted with a handful of amenities. Sip on a chilled glass of wine on a glorious summer's day in the enclosed garden patio area, boasting scenic views of verdant fields; take a well-deserved quiet moment to yourself to take in your countryside surroundings. There is also a bench at the front of the house, where you can watch the world go by in the sun. Make your way upstairs to the bright double bedroom, featuring original wooden floorboards, a large amount of storage space and a lovely light window. Treat yourself to a well-deserved pamper night and put on a face-mask as you unwind in a hot bubble bath, or grab an invigorating morning shower in the quaint bathroom. A few miles away is a top quality restaurant and local goods shop, with stunning views, plus there are other traditional country pubs open a few miles away. If you need to stock up on essentials, there's a charming farm shop a short drive away at the top of Warmington Hill. Upton House and Garden is an elegant stately home featuring 1930s period displays, beautiful sunlit terraces, scenic walking trails and an antique bookstore. Garden enthusiasts will delight at The National Herb Centre, which contains culinary, medicinal and heirloom herbs, plus fruit trees, shrubs and planters.

Meadow View offers an idyllic countryside escape for two.

    Lovely walks around the village and convenient for many attractions, Stratford, Banbury and Oxford in particular. Great for us as family in a local village. Arrive on a Saturday and experience the tea and cakes in the village Hall, they were superb. Only negative for ourselves was the fact that there isn't allocated parking, but we were aware of this before booking. All in all a great stay for us and our small dog.

    Quiet, central, spacious, modern furnishings yet with historic touches, and lovely views, what more could you ask for in a holiday cottage! A responsive and helpful host was a benefit. We so hope to return in the future.
