Great location close to the high street but in a quiet little side street. Beautiful traditional Cotswolds cottage. We had a great stay!
Jessica
Nice cottage in Broadway. It was perfect for our family of 4. It had all the necessary kitchen amenities and extras. Beds were comfortable. Private garden was lovely for morning tea. Location was great for grocery store, restaurants and shops, all less than 5 min walk. Quiet area at night for sleeping with windows open. Broadway was a great home base for exploring the Cotswolds. I would highly recommend this cottage.
Heather
Location and spacious - classy property 😁
Richard
Car-free oasis

We had a wonderful 5 days here, car-free. We travelled by steam train, local bus, taxi and walked along the Cotswold Way. The local Co-op and deli sold everything we needed, and there was loads to do in easy reach.
This cottage was a delightful base for our holiday.
Catherine
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Box Cottage, Broadway. Comfortable and spotlessly clean accommodation with a charming patio garden. Ideally situated close to restaurants and shops.
Jillian
Box Cottage was in the perfect location to enjoy the Broadway high street and be a starting point for adventures into the Cotswolds. With clear instructions, parking and a lovely garden it was ideal for our family with two young children. We would stay again.
Daniel
Cottage very well located in a small lane adjacent to the main street, so very convenient for shops and local walks. Comfortable living room with a large sofa and two large armchairs, very nice for evenings. Very comfortable beds and very clean and pleasant rooms, tastefully decorated with a warm atmosphere. Great garden. A wonderful place!
Celine
It was the perfect wrap up to our spring break. Check in and check out were extremely easy. The location was perfect for walking anywhere we wanted to go. We loved our stay at Box Cottage in Broadway.
Mary
Great Christmas Stay

Thanks for the great place with a great location. Will definitely visit again. The cottage is a superb place with all the amenities to make the stay easy.
Daniel
Fabulous place - this was our 4th stay.
Kate
Perfection does exist...

My family of 5 (3 little ones) stayed a month, and it was like a dream- the cottage is cozy & homey, the kitchen was perfect for celebratory cooking & beverages, and there is literally no beating Broadway for this kind of stay (nor the cottage location a short stroll from the heaven that is Broadway Deli)- an opinion that stayed firm through 1500 miles on a rental car exploring the near countryside. This stay was a once in a lifetime opportunity for us, and Box Cottage rose to the occasion as our home base.
Jeff
Short family break

Lovely cottage just off High St Broadway, so convenient for the shops and restaurants in Broadway which is beautiful. Parking available on Back Lane.
Cottage was very comfortable; well equipped kitchen with some little extras (tea/coffee/milk and cleaning products).
Beds were comfortable and the bathroom was modern with a decent electric shower.
Lovely courtyard at the back which was a suntrap , it would get well used during the summer.
We had a very enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend.
Diane
Charming little cottage in a perfectly central location of pretty Cotswold village. My 4 year old son was enchanted by the place saying he wanted to stay forever!
David
Excellent location. Very pretty and beds were comfortable.
Susan
Beautiful old Cotswold cottage, very conveniently located for everything in Broadway.

This is a lovely terraced cottage in a surprisingly secluded little haven just off the High Street. Its beautiful courtyard garden is private and deceptively generous in size.
I struggled with the Amazon Echo, as Alexa only spoke French, but we sorted it eventually!
Although the Welcome Pack doesnt mention it, there is a dedicated car parking space with a car parking pass for a small / medium sized car which is very desirable in Broadway!
All in all we had a lovely weekend at Box Cottage and were not disappointed at all.
Michael
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay at Box Cottage. We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we are sorry to hear about the Alexa. We hope to see you again in the Cotswolds soon.

Awesome little bolt hole!

We were absolutely delighted with our stay at the Box Cottage in Broadway. Perfectly located behind the main strip. Conveniently located to all the local villages and sites of the Cotswolds. The cottage is very comfortable with a lovely spacious outdoor area. Beds were super comfy and the kitchen well appointed for cooking at home. Communication with the housekeeper was prompt and easy
even replaced the microwave which stopped working within a day! Wifi was excellent
particularly important for our son who was working throughout our 14 day stay. Broadway is a perfect base for exploring the area
Highly recommended
will definitely book again for future trips to the Cotswolds. Thank you!
Pauline
Highly Recommended

I booked the Cottage on behalf our relatives visiting from America.
They really loved Box Cottage, and thought it was perfect, with all the English charm, yet with all the modern conveniences.
They thought the patio garden was delightful, and everything inside the Cottage was catered for their needs.
It is a great location right in the heart of Broadway village, yet very quiet and peaceful.
Diana
A perfect cottage for the best getaway!

This was our first time in the Cotswolds and it couldn't have been more perfect.
The cottage is so cute and cozy. The neighbors are friendly and helpful.
Broadway is a wonderful town to walk around in and enjoy the beautiful setting.
Restaurants are solid and shoppes are nice.
Couldn't have asked for a better cottage to stay in.
Javier
Delightful

A precious cottage in a location that couldnt be more charming and convenient. We highly recommend Box Cottage.
Julie
perfect

This was our second stay at Box Cottage. A lovely, comfortable cottage in a fantastic location. A perfect spot to call home for a visit to the Cotswolds.We even got a text to let us know the cottage was ready a few hours early, which is always nice! Thanks so much!
Elizabeth
Excellent Choice

An absolutely charming cottage. The location was perfect with just a few short steps from the car and from the main high street. It was warm and clean. Everything we needed was provided for. Broadway has the most amazing deli, restaurants and bars all within walking distance of the cottage. The garden was fabulous to take your early morning coffee and evening drinks. The bathroom was clean and had everything you need (obviously not toiletries). The kitchen is small but compact and very useful and the living room is very comfortable. Overall a fabulous weekend and I genuinely cannot wait to return!
Rachel
A week at Box Cottage

We spent a wonderful week at this cottage. The location cannot be beat and the cottage itself is comfortable, very well-equipped and spacious. We had one issue (beyond anyone's control) but everyone involved was responsive and efficient in getting it sorted out. A great spot!

Box Cottage, Broadway, The Cotswolds

Box Cottage is a very pretty, well maintained cottage in the beautiful village of Broadway in the Cotswolds! The cottage is situated just off the main high street in a quiet pedestrianised lane. The cottage has a lovely courtyard garden with tables and chairs and a bbq for those lovely summer evenings! The inside is equipped with all the facilities needed for a pleasant stay.
Broadway itself has an array of lovely gift shops, pubs, restaurants and public footpaths for walking off those who extra calories whilst also enjoying the beautiful countryside!. It is also conveniently situated to explore the other highlights that the Cotswolds has to offer.

Mixed experience

Box cottage is situated in a charming row of terraced cottages tucked away behind Broadway main street. Although the cottage was well stocked with all you would need for your stay, was clean and it was easy to communicate with the manager, we were rather disappointed with our choice. Contrary to the pictures we saw, it felt dark, cold, damp and rather unloved. We also had problems with a wasp infestation and a smoke alarm which went off every morning. Hopefully these issues have now been resolved and perhaps we were unlucky, but we all felt that the cottage could do with an update.
Kimberley
Hi Kimberley, Thank you for your review and feedback. We are sorry that the cottage was not what you had expected. We have spoken to the housekeeper regarding your issues and she has assured us that these have been looked into and rectified where needed. Kind regards Bolthole Retreats

Character cottage, excellent location

Beautiful period cottage in the centre of one of the most picturesque villages in the Cotswolds. Wonderful secluded walled sunny garden. Several excellent restaurants and pubs as well as shops within a very short walking distance. While there is generally adequate parking this can on occasions be awkward due to unauthorised usage of the space available. That said I have booked this accommodation on 2 occasions, covering 13 nights in total, and only had a major problem once.
Guest
Hi James, Thank you for your review of Box Cottage. We're so pleased to read that you enjoyed your time in Broadway, it really is a very lovely village. We hope to welcome you back to the Cotswolds again very soon. Kind regards Bolthole Retreats

Great cottage for a family stay, amazing location

Clean, beautiful cottage for a perfect family stay. Well equipped and location was so good - close to restaurants, cafes etc.
Yonathan
Beautiful property in Broadway

The property was very comfortable, and the checkin easy. The directions to parking at the back of the property was very good and reasonably easy to follow. The main complaint would be the double bed, as the mattress was very uncomfortable for 2 adults, meaning that one of us ended up sleeping on the lounge downstairs each night. The hot water also ran out every day with a family of 4 showering. Apart from that the property suited our needs and was a great base for exploring the Cotswolds, and a relaxing stay.
Rodney
Box cottage, Broadway

Lovely cottage, extremely well located just off the High Street in Broadway. Comfortable and well equipped. Really lovely walks around Broadway and great pubs and shops only minutes away. Very pleasant short break!
Kate
Cosy countryside cottage

Lovely little cottage, very convenient for main high street shops, restaurants etc but still in quiet tucked away spot. Cottage much bigger than expected with lovely furnishings and secluded walled garden. It was a little chilly there but it was December and parking is a bit difficult. I would recomend though for a couple of nights break visiting the local area.
Helen
June 2019 stay

We enjoyed our stay at Box Cottage, finding that it was well represented in photos and description. The location was excellent, being a one minute walk from the picturesque Main Street and a short stroll to the supermarket. The cottage was clean and provided all the facilities we needed. Our only negative comment would be that many light globes were not working, leading to some areas which were somewhat dark. I found the bedding/ mattress comfortable, however my wife considered them yo be too hard.
Peter
Cozy little cottage

What a wonderful place to base your travels in the Cotswolds. It was just perfect. The back courtyard was spectacular. Usually pictures over do but in this case, they didnt do it justice. Very comfortable cottage. The only reason it got just a good on condition is simply because its been around a while. They have done a great job of updating. If you want a quaint little cottage with lots of character, book this now

Perfect location

Box Cottage is in an ideal location for the village with many excellent places to eat, beautiful walks near by, a nice relaxing time.

Charming spacious cottage in excellent location

Lovely, well equipped 2 bedroom cottage, set in an excellent location just behind the high Street (no traffic noise). No open fire but lovely and warm with plenty of hot water. Kitchen well equipped with fridge/freezer microwave and dishwasher and loads of plates, cups etc. Downstairs loo ( needs the lock sorting) but good sized bathroom and another toilet with good shower. Nice garden to rear although unfortunately not the weather to use it. Will definitely come back.
Geoff
Lovely cottage

Comfortable, pretty cottage in a convenient location, surrounded by shops and eateries, what more could one ask?
The Bolthole instructions were lacking for The Hive so I was pretty cold for the first few days until a neighbor came to my rescue. After that it was toasty. This is a great place for a holiday!
Marilyn
Perfect Cotswold Hideaway

We love Box Cottage - it's the perfect Cotswold hideaway! We do a lot of walking and it's great to be able to walk straight out of the door and up to the hills without even thinking about a car. It's so quiet and secluded yet just a few steps from the bustling high street - a superb combination.
As usual everything to do with the cottage itself was great, but this time we experienced a little difficulty with parking. This was partly due to the work being done on rebuilding the wall in the passageway - so can't be helped, I suppose.
We hope to return.
Rhona
Fantastic location, lovely cottage all home comforts

Four of us stayed here for Easter weekend, two adults and two teenage daughters. The directions provided to the cottage were spot on so we had no difficulty in finding it. The location is excellent, just off the main street in Broadway but it is really quiet. It's an ideal base to explore the Cotswolds. The cottage itself is very well equipped, with even tea and coffee provided. A thoughtful touch were the washing tablets and provision of dishwasher tabs also. The HIVE heating system is excellent keeping us very cosy on a very damp weekend! The bedrooms are very comfortable. The garden outside is a perfect size and I'm sure really lovely to sit out in the summer. We had a very pleasant couple of days here and would recommend it highly.
