Short Break at The Hideaway
A true hidden gem if youre looking for a few days of peace & quiet as well as a convenient location for many of the Cotswolds attractions. The cottage has been fitted out to a high end standard & was immaculate both in terms of cleanliness & decorative order. If you fancy cooking whilst on holiday, (we didnt do too much of that), then the kitchen is really well-equipped with appliances & just about every utensil you could need. Surrounded by countryside as far as the eye can see. The nearest road, (well not really a road but a county lane), is 1/4 mile away along a private driveway. Peaceful country walks right from the cottage door. We walked to Daylesford along some of the prettiest & best maintained tracks/bridleways youre ever likely to find. All in all a wonderful break. We will be recommending to family & friends, without any hesitation. A big thanks to the owners & maintenance teams.

Great Property and lovely location.
Stayed for 5 nights at the hideaway on the Claytons property.
Lovely little place, really well decorated and clean. Steps out straight onto open field so the dog was happy.
Long driveway to gates so was lovely and quiet at night. Location was really good for all the Cotswold highlights
lovely little pub walking distance just be aware London prices!
Just a couple of tiny niggles, toaster was broken on one side so had to flip bread to toast both sides
VERY small basic tv with remote that didnt always work when buttons pressed.
Power cut one day reported to the management company via voicemail but never had any reply to message, thought that was disappointing considering the owner would be paying them.
Overall really enjoyed the property and would definitely return..

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review following your stay at Claytons Hideaway! We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the property and found it to be well decorated and clean. Regarding the toaster, the owners would like to thank you for bringing this to their attention, and they will repair it. Additionally, they have put new batteries in the remote control! Moreover, they're sorry to hear you didn't receive a response from the management company. It was a power cut across the North Cotswolds, so it was out of their control, unfortunately.

Amazing location, beautiful place
The cottage was perfectly located, but also nicely hidden away and peaceful - but still within walking distance of the village.
The furnishings, decor and finish of the cottage were really tasteful, just what you would expect of a beautiful Cotswold home.
Lovely welcome package, and really easy and flexible check in.
Beautiful grounds and lovely to see the chickens too!
Guest
Lovely area, beautiful cottage. Highly recommend

The Hideaway
The location and overall charm of the property was excellent. However the bedding and furniture proved at odds. The sofas in the living area were uncomfortable and an odd size. The bedding pillows and mattress in particular were very lumpy and very uncomfortable.
The Property Management team were inconsisitent with the replies to requests.
If they can address these concerns the Hideaway would be near perfect.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed The Hideaway's fantastic location and unique charm.

The Property Manager always does their best to respond to requests and accommodate individual needs where possible. While high-quality bedding is provided and the condition of the furnishings regularly reviewed, we understand that mattress and pillow preferences are highly personal and may differ depending on individual expectations. We genuinely appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue to improve. While we cannot always provide specialised furnishings or amenities that fall outside our standard offering, we are always happy to assist wherever we reasonably can. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to The Hideaway in the future.
- Bolthole Retreats, 5th August 2026
This cottage was a perfect location for our 4 day tour of the Cotswolds. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area.
The Hideaway was a lovely spacious cottage in a very quiet area, with lots of open space around. The cottage was clean and comfortable and little touches like a bottle of milk, tea and coffee plus a coffee machine were very welcoming. The location of this property is perfect for visiting local beauty spots.
