Dove Cottage (Naunton)
Description
Dove Cottage is a beautiful, traditional Cotswold stone property, located in the picturesque village of Naunton. The village is very popular, being set away from busy roads and benefitting from a good village pub, golf course and many walks straight from the doorstep. The well known market town of Stow-on-the-Wold and the beautiful village of Bourton-on-the-Water are both within six miles, with their wide range of pubs, shops and restaurants. Naunton is also ideally located for exploring the wider Cotswolds region and beyond, including famous places such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford and Blenheim Palace.
This lovely cottage has many character features, including oak beams, a stone fireplace with a wood burning stove, and solid wooden doors. As you can see from the photos, this property has many character features, including several steps leading up to the front door, narrow and steep stairs, some very low beams, and sloping ceilings, which could pose difficulty to guests with limited mobility or carrying babies. The traditional character is complemented by modern facilities, including a Smart TV, fast wireless internet access and a well presented kitchen.

What guests are saying
Beautiful village, great walks which just happen to end up back at the pub!
Cottage tiny but good for a couple with a dog. Stairs very steep so need to be careful but it is an old cottage which was well equipped and comfortable. Great position for exploring the cotswolds.
This home is stunning.
Was a lovely little home to escape to for our weeks holiday. When we arrived there was a cute little note welcoming us, along with chocolates and fizz in the fridge. The owners came to check on us to make sure everything was okay (we had been out exploring for the day and missed them) but the card left was lovely. I will say the bathroom does need a net at the window as you are able to wave to passers by when using the toilet haha. I would also advise that if you are taller than 6ft then you may need a helmet as the ceilings are low and my partner did have to duck to make sure he didn’t continuously hit his head and the stairs are very narrow, and can be difficult to walk down. However fully appreciate that the owners cannot change this - this also wouldn’t prevent us from returning as this home is beautiful. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your home!
Really lovely and cosy cottage which was ideal especially given the weather we had.
We really enjoyed the log burner and found the whole experience to be perfect for our four night stay. Only improvement we could think of was we where very short on places to store food in the kitchen. I’m sure most people mostly eat out but given the weather we did have a good few nights in. We loved the little extra personal touches in the cottage which made it feel like a home rather than a hotel. Also a big thank you for the chocolates and persecco much appreciated
