This is a great little property in a beautiful setting in the heart of the Cotswolds.. Perfectly located for exploring the area and on the village there is a great pub serving high end restaurant-style food. The facilities are excellent and every detail has been thought about. The owner is lovely and left us some eggs, fresh juice and a freshly baked cake for our arrival. We will definitely be back to the Old Dairy!

This cottage was as good in reality as the images on the website.. It is tastefully furnished with a lovely mix of old and new. Just a tiny thing that must have been overlooked. The freezer compartment and the bins had not been emptied since the last visitors so we did that ourselves.

The cottage was clean, warm and cosy.. The decor was lovely. The bed and sofa were very comfy. The hosts left us some lovely food. I would highly recommend it

Mr Reynolds

This cottage is a delight.. It’s a pity we only stayed for three nights, and we will certainly return. We loved the comfort and cleanliness, the superb location for sightseeing and the off road parking was a big bonus. Can’t wait for our next visit.

Even before arriving at The Old Dairy, Nicola the owner was in contact with us and very kindly arranged for us to arrive early which fitted in with our travel arrangements.. On arrival the Old Dairy met every expectation, not just the presentation of the cottage but the thoughtful welcome of the lovely fresh eggs and homemade cake. The property provided a great base from which to visit all that the Cotswolds has to offer, but at the same time a lovely place to relax and enjoy a quite evening. We were travelling in our vintage car which when raining benefits from being garaged if the weather becomes inclement. Nicola and Tom were extremely kind and made space in their barn to shelter our pride and joy!! - thank you so much for this. The Old Dairy was simply a lovely home from home and for anyone planning to visit to the Cotswolds it cannot come more highly recommended. We shall without doubt return.
