Cotsall House
Description
Cotsall House is an elegant family home which sleeps eleven guests (see Key Features), in five exquisite bedrooms, with two bathrooms. Dating back to the 17th century, this wonderful property boasts a wealth of character features including original wood flooring, exposed beams and two wood burning stoves. This character is complemented by contemporary design and modern facilities such as wireless internet access, two Smart TVs and a well-equipped kitchen.
At the rear of the property there is an attractive garden which has a covered seating area complete with open fire, and at the front of the house there is a gated driveway with parking for four cars.
Cotsall House is situated in the much-loved village of Broadway, often referred to as the ‘Jewel of the Cotswolds’. This picturesque village is home to a number of fine eateries, family-friendly country inns, art galleries and independent shops, as well as popular attractions including the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, Broadway Tower Country Park and the three acre children's recreation ground which has facilities for all age groups.
Located within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are many cycle routes and footpaths to explore including the famed Cotswold Way walking trail which passes through the village itself. In one direction the Way climbs up to Broadway Tower, and in the other it heads towards the chocolate-box village of Stanton, home to The Mount Inn. Broadway is well-placed for visiting the many lovely towns and villages of the North Cotswolds such as Chipping Campden, Winchcombe, Blockley and Snowshill, as well as the further afield destinations of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick Castle and Oxford. Cotsall House is the perfect retreat for a gathering of friends or family who are seeking a relaxing break in an idyllic Cotswold village.

What guests are saying

Lovely house.
Lovely location and lovely grounds. I booked this for my girlfriend’s birthday and all her family came. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it
Lovely house with a beautiful garden, close to the centre of Broadway and with easy access to footpaths and the Cotswold Way.
We very much enjoyed our stay and our overall rating is five stars. We would definitely go back. That said, just a couple of issues. The washer/dryer was inadequate for a house with eleven people. The dryer seemed to barely work at all, and we were fortunate that the weather was mostly dry and we could hang clothes outside. Also, more minor, but a regular coffee maker would have been nice. The specific pods for the Nespresso machine were not available in local shops and we had to order them through Amazon. Last, the house is old and some of the doorways are low, so taller people need to be careful going through them.
