We stayed at Gable Cottage in mid November for my husband's 40th birthday, a lovely note was left along with a bottle of bubbly and cake and both were very quickly consumed! It was a lovely welcome and a lovely way to start the weekend away. Location wise, brilliant, not far to drive to all the tourist spots, the local pub is great and people were very friendly. The cottage is beautiful, typical Cotswolds look on the outside and so cosy on the inside, lovely little front patio and a great kitchen with everything you need. We would 100% stay again and looking to book next year at some point. Thank you!

We had a lovely stay at Gable Cottage! Location wise, it is within a short drive to the major places to see in the Cotswolds. The roads aren’t busy and there was always parking available on the street outside the cottage. The cottage itself was very clean and cosy. I would say it’s perfect for 3 guests. The kitchen had a lovely welcome note and was equipped with basic foods such as milk, eggs, butter etc. Additionally, the owners left a detailed welcome guide which was very helpful in knowing which places to visit and emergency contacts. It was very easy to communicate with the team via email and they responded quickly.

The cottage was beautiful, and so well equipped. Lovely crisp white linen and towels. Nice little touches such as milk in the fridge, bread, butter and some cereal. Really lovely village with a great pub opposite for food. Would highly recommend. Booking was easy, and contact before was very good. Our dogs loved it. They even provide spare dog bags and bowls. Lots of great walks on the doorstep. A great place to explore the Cotswolds.

Location

The quaint village of Meysey Hampton is a wonderful rural retreat. Enjoy a plethora of walks from your door and visit the local pub for friendly service and a good meal. You are a short drive from historic Cirencester with its Roman Amphitheatre and museum. For the adventurous Cotswold Water Park is a must visit for canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, cycling and waterside walking routes. Nearby Fairford is home to the Royal International Air Tattoo, a three-day event held each year offering heart racing displays.
