Exactly what we needed for a weekend away.

Tom

Lovely Christmas break

Great house in a quiet road - plenty of room to accommodate our family group of 6 adults and 3 cars. Tastefully decorated throughout. 10 minute stroll to the village centre and a Budgens store. The Wheatsheaf Inn, was a particular favourite with great food and service.

Vicky

We had a lovely stay, that we enjoyed with friends and family. The home was perfect for us and gave us plenty of space to visit and relax. Location was central enough to get to many local pubs and restaurants as well as visiting Burford village. We would love to come back when visiting the Cotswolds in the future.

Jodi

Nice house

Booked Hawthorn Cottage for the weekend of my 50th birthday. We were 4 adults and 2 dogs. House was beautiful, clean, modern and welcoming. Secure garden was perfect for the dogs, and would be beautiful with the bi fold doors in the summer. Bathrooms and bedrooms were all clean and modern. The kitchen was very well equipped and stocked well. We loved the dining table and chairs, very large and comfortable. A couple of negative points were that we did find the beds a bit hard, but that’s just personal choice. The sofa in the lounge area wasn’t great. For 4 of us it was big enough to relax on, but any more and it would have been very squashed. If the house was fully occupied with 8 people there definitely isn’t enough sofa space. We found it to be very low and quite uncomfortable. Overall a lovely well located house.

Sarah

Great spot for groups or families

A really lovely place to stay with a perfect space for entertaining. Our only niggle was that the pillows were pretty uncomfortable.

Harriet

Wonderful house , bright and gorgeous interior, well equipped kitchen, beautiful bedrooms and comfortable beds, relaxing and great local village with great pubs and the local people were very friendly.

Angela

Really beautiful property and garden perfect for the dog to play in. Everywhere was very clean and tidy.

Becky

We stayed at the lovely house in Northleach as a family of 6 adults and a baby. It was very clean, very comfortable and had everything we could need. The bedrooms were spacious, and the beds comfy. The dining table was huge, with plenty of space for us all. Bolthole Retreats staff were helpful, friendly and quick to respond. I would thoroughly recommend this particular house and Bolthole Retreats.

Jane

The property is like a new house with perfect neighbourhood and facilities. The property is exactly like the pictures and we really enjoyed our stay.

Hendry

Lovely house, beautiful location. Had a lovely stay.

Leighanna

Lovely accomodation for 8 people

Well equipped for 8 people and a great location to access the Cotswolds Beds and pillows were very firm Showers towels etc were great

Alyson

Clean and exactly as described. Great place to base yourself when exploring the area.

Claire

A great location to explore the Cotswolds. Home was furnished luxuriously and accommodated our party of 8 very comfortably.

Eliana

The home was lovely. We were visiting for a wedding so it allowed our family to stay together. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well furnished, parking was easy and the house clean. We enjoyed ourselves and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Jeff

Nice place but a few hiccups

The house was perfect for the weekend for a group of friends and dogs and in an ideal location. Unfortunately we had an issue on arrival. We asked for early check in and we were denied this due to the place being cleaned. When we turned up past 4pm the house clearly hadn’t been cleaned, dirty sheets, towels, old milk and food in the fridge. The host kindly paid for us to go for a dinner around the corner while it was sorted however it was rather disappointing. She was apologetic and did sort the situation quite quickly but quite abrupt in her phone calls. The bathrooms and bedrooms had been cleaned however the kitchen had not, dirty milk and old bananas were left. We weren't left with any spare toilet roll or cleaning products or bin bags.

Hannah

A perfect home, well situated in the village, beautifully decorated, comfortable, great furniture, a perfect place to stay when visiting the Cotswolds. It felt like home from home.

Leila

Spacious home in great loction

Hawthorn Cottage is a spacious house well equipped for a very comfortable stay. It was quiet and had good access to the areas we were visiting. Great communication when we needed it. I would highly recommend this property.

Cara

Very nice house with easy access to beautiful places in Cotswolds.

Clean and beautiful house and very well equipped. Within driving distance to so many wonderful places in Cotswolds. Beds are great - could have used a softer pillow but that is independent. In the description it says that in the garden there we would find “table and chairs for 8 and a rattan sofa set”. There is no sofa set in the garden and we would have liked a sofa set very much since the weather was so nice during our stay.

Britt

Well-positioned for Cotswold break

Comfortable roomy house in quiet location, ideal for family and friends short stay. Further improvements would be: choice of two different pillows ( all 8 of us found uncomfortable as very high hollowfill) mattresses very firm, maybe memory foam toppers would help update description re 2 parking places, as carport next to house is unusable due to residents cars parked opposite (unless maybe by a mini) - had to park further away in estate in a visitor space Apart from those niggles, very good place to stay and would recommend. Good showers, warm and spotlessly clean

Guest

A long weekend in Northleach

We booked Hawthorn Cottage for a long weekend whilst we were attending a wedding nearby. The cottage is a modern townhouse in a quiet residential street on the fringe of the beautiful village of Northleach. The property has everything you could need and milk, tea & coffee were provided on arrival. Bedrooms were large & comfortable and having three bathrooms was a bonus. Northleach has a lovely ‘village green’ with excellent cafe & wine bar, a village shop and two pubs. We ate in the Wheatsheaf which was excellent. The park in the meadow is also excellent for children.

Hannah

A perfect long weekend

Hawthorn Cottage was wonderful in all respects. Could not fault the property in any way. A short walk into the centre of Northleach and the house was fully equipped . Spotlessly clean , and provided toiletries which was a pleasant bonus ! Would definitely stay again.

Sara

Fabulous Bank Holiday Retreat

Recently stayed with my family and sister. The spec of the cottage was very high - everything was perfectly presented and the large table in the dining area comfortably fitted us all round. A perfect base to explore the delights of the Cotswolds, I would definitely recommend.

Beth

A very enjoyable experience

We could not be happier with the condition of the property and the facilities. This made for a thoroughly enjoyable stay, Because of the location parking whilst loading and unloading was a nit of a problem but in the scale of things this was a minor issue.

Julie

A fantastic place to stay

Hawthorn Cottage is a fantastic place to stay - clean, comfortable, equipped with everything you could need and most importantly of all, it had a lovely ambience. It accommodated 6 adults, an active toddler and 2 dogs easily with room for everyone to sit and be comfortable. Northleach is a great base - lots of walks close by and a coffee shop and great pubs. I would highly recommend it

Vanessa

Great location and top-notch cottage

We booked Hawthorn cottage to meet up with family between Christmas and New Year. It was a great location with the centre of Northleach a short walk and within easy reach of places like Bourton on the Water. The decorated tree was an added bonus. The whole house has been furnished to a high standard and was extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Kathryn

Wonderful stay

Lovely house for 4 people who wanted separate rooms. Location perfect for strolling into Northleach & visiting surrounding area. All amenities were great & open plan living area ideal for social Living. We had a small problem and Camilla could not have been more responsive & helpful - went beyond expectations to help

Jackie

Very nice.

Lovely place to stay! Would stay again. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen was modern and easy to use. TV was connected to sky which was great. Parking was easy too. Lovely cottage, would highly recommend.

Guest

Lovely Stay

Just returned from a 2 night stay to celebrate my Mum's 80th Birthday, 5 Adults & 2 Children & dogs. The cottage was lovely, spotlessly clean, decorated to a high standard, sofa was amazing so comfortable, beds really comfortable with high quality bedding & pillows, we all slept soundly, the ensuite bathrooms were lovely, hand soap & reed diffusers where Rituals & smelt devine. Kitchen was fitted out with all you could want. Plenty of games to keep you occupied & a lovely garden with rattan garden furniture. I would definitely recommend this property we would stay again.

Elizabeth

A lovely family week away

We had a lovely week away at Hawthorn Cottage. It was a perfect location, central to all the pretty and quaint Cotswolds villages. The cottage was comfortable and spacious, plenty of room for seven adults, an infant and a dog. The cottage was well kept with only a few areas that could do with some maintenance. The garden was a good size, however it was a shame that all around the edges was very overgrown from grass coming from the two neighbours gardens. On a side note the artificial grass was a lifesaver with the dog as he remained clean the whole week. The only other issue we had was that a lot of the glassware, cutlery and dinner service was dirty from previous guests. So we needed to wash everything before we could use them. Overall, we had a lovely stay at Hawthorn Cottage and would definitely recommend it to others.

Guest

Lovely cottage

A truly lovely cottage with plenty of room for the whole family to relax in. Would definitely want to stay there again when visiting the Cotswolds.

Margaret

Excellent holiday house for families

This is a lovely holiday house for families. We were a family of 4 generations staying at Hawthorn Cottage, and were sorry that we couldn't stay longer. The house is well maintained and spacious, and located in a lovely village. We loved the open plan design, and the bedrooms were large and nicely decorated. None of us had been to this village before, and found it to be a very attractive village.

Amanda

Good location

We enjoyed our stay in Northleach. The village is very pretty and has some nice places to eat and have a coffee. The house itself is in a new development which was very nice. However, on arrival we found that the house didn't seem to have been cleaned as well as we'd have expected (e.g. food splashed by the bins) and the carpet needed vacuuming. There were also lights that didn't have working lightbulbs and blinds which didn't work in one of the bedrooms. This was a bit disappointing. Hopefully these can be rectified as all in all, it's an excellent base for the Cotswolds!

Guest

A WONDERFUL STAY IN THE CENTRE OF THE COTSWOLD !!!

We were a group of 5 people, the cottage is located in a quite neighbourhood in Northleach. The Cabin was clean and very functional, the instructions issued post the reservation confirmation were bang on and everything worked well. The location of Northleach is quite central, you are not fare for any of the beautiful villages on the Cotswold. Burton on Water is a 10 min drive. Overall I would recommend this place !!!!

Nikhil

Excellent

Stayed here with my family and bridesmaids for my wedding. It was perfect. Super light in the living area for getting ready and a really sociable space. Was great for my 18 month nephew and a really safe garden space for him. Thoroughly enjoyed and would 100% recommend. Thanks so much!

Kelly

Hawthorn Cottage - a family home with more than just the little extra's!

A beautiful Gloucestershire setting. Very tastefully decorated and sumptiously furnished and ideal for a family of eight! Just a short walk to the stores and pubs in Northleach. Central to visit Bourton on Water, We Fairford and even farther afield to Bath .Our daughters, grandsons and son in laws have expressed the view we should book up for next year. Surely the ultimate accolade for a well appointed holiday cottage! We do not hesitate to give Hawthorn Cottage a gold star and top rating!

Robert

Wonderful stay with our family!

We had a delightful holiday in this beautiful rental house with our family of 8 and our small wiener dog. Everything we needed was accommodated forr and the area is simply stunning! I would recommend it to everyone!

Ellissa

Simply great

Hawthorn Cottage is in a great location to explore the north and south of the Cotswolds. It was very clean, well equipped, comfortable with good instruction on everything in the cottage. Our party of 6 adults enjoyed our visit and strongly recommend Hawthorn Cottage and Bolthole Retreats.

Michele

Lovely property for our short break

Hawthorn Cottage is a new build property in the pretty village of Northleach. The property is of a high standard and well equipped. Parking is provided for two vehicles. Lovely walks around the area and great places to eat out. Would definitely recommend.

Sarah

Days away with BFF’s over from USA

We had a lovely stay at Hawthorn Cottage, we were impressed with the quality of the property very nicely decorated and styled which is what we like. Ordinary drinking glass stocks need replenished as there was. It enough glasses for all of us to have a long drink in but that was the only issue we used an alternative it just felt odd. The house was situated close to what we wanted to see so was perfect for our needs. Would highly recommend the home and Danielle from Bolthole Retreats - she was amazing.

Lesley

Weekend stay for wedding

Stayed at Hawthorn Cottage as our group of 7 adults were attending a family wedding a short distance away. The accommodation was comfortable, spacious and well equipped. It was also in a very quiet location. There was plenty of parking (including visitor spaces) for our 3 cars. My only suggestion would be an iron and ironing board. We needed to press shirts before attending the wedding but fortunately had already checked if one was provided and brought our own. We would definitely stay again.

Jenni

Mid-week break

Short but sweet 2 night stay In Hawthorn Cottage. Really comfortable house with very tasteful decor. Beds were perfect for a great nights sleep and loved the big bathrooms. Good gastropub in the village with great food.

Alexandra

Modern, spacious stay

I stayed at Hawthorn Cottage with my family, the night before my wedding so this was a very special stay. Overall perfect property, clean, open spaces with natural light as per the photos and high end furnishings with super king size beds, fresh fluffy towels and all the kitchen amenities you could want. My only negative would be that on arrival, the cleaners were still at the property after the given check in time and we were told that we weren’t expected until Friday (the day we were due to check out). This did cause a little stress, however I called bolthole retreats right away, who apologised for the missed communication with the cleaners and confirmed our booking - phew. After a 15/20 minute wait in the car outside, we were able to go in and enjoyed our stay. Many thanks for a lovely stay. Laura

Laura

Beautiful cottage in Northleach

Beautifully appointed cottage on the edge of Northleach village. Great base for exploring the cotswolds.

Adam

Lovely Cotswolds Stay

We had a fabulous stay at the cottage, perfect for 3 couples having a bathroom each. The downstairs area is great for group meals and the garden was lovely for a BBQ. Would certainly recommend and stay again!

Emma

Good level of luxury and excellent quality of soft furnishings

Camilla was quickly and effectively responsive when no coffee pods were left. Could've done with more surfaces for toiletries in ensuite. Comfortable and spacious dining area could be enhanced with softer lighting. 5 of us were comfortable when watching TV but more than 6 might've struggled to find somewhere to sit.

House in Great Location in the Cotswolds

Lovely modern house in typical Cotswold stone, in a really beautiful Cotswold village, Northleach. Beautifully presented, great condition, all modern comforts, good kitchen and warm. Bedrooms beautifully appointed with lovely linen and modern bathrooms. Enclosed grassed back garden - two parking spaces and also visitor parking. Easy Walking distance to village centre (even with a 4 year old and baby in pram). Fields with sheep and open countryside at the end of the street. Lovely village with church, grocery store, pharmacy, cafe, pubs - one of which has award winning food. The Wheatsheaf Inn. Some wonderful towns in easy driving distance to explore. We had a wonderful stay - the owners went that extra mile and put in a superb decorated Christmas tree for us along with a welcome box of Christmas treats. Would highly recommend this lovely house and the website and owners are very responsive and easy to deal with.

Susan

Great stay in a beautiful home!

We had a great stay in the house, the size and luxury was much higher than we expected and we all said the photos actually didn't do the home justice. It was larger than we thought it would be, and cannot recommend it highly enough. Note for the future: If you put a decking area in the corner of the garden where it's a sun trap then the house would be complete!

Thomas

Beautiful new house

A great new build in a lively quaint village. House is very well equipped and perfect for the 7 of us . Loved the fact all of us had our own bathroom . Having full Sky HD with sport was great for our sports mad family A spotlessly clean very modern and comfortable house in great location 2 small quibbles All of us found mattresses very firm which would have been ok if pillows weren’t incredibly uncomfortable. Would be good to supply a dishcloth and scourer . Every rental has always had this Just also note on info . Says keys for back patio doors in draw when in 2nd Key Safe . Otherwise we have a fab time with amazing weather

Ian

Exceptional experience!

Weekend at the Hawthorn Cottage was nothing but exceptional. Furnishings all completed to a high standard, and the cottage was cleaned to a high level. All rooms and bathrooms were very spacious, all 7 guests stayed very comfortably for 3 nights. The communal areas were lovely especially the large dining table allowing a lovely family meal at all times, and free sky tv/netflix providing entertainment! The kitchen was more equipped than we expected - with all appliances very clean and functioning well. Check in and out process was very simple, and we were given contact numbers if we had any problems. I could not recommend this cottage and Bolthole Retreats enough - a fantastic experience and we are looking to rebook soon!

Guest

Highly recommend for a group or family stay

We stayed here with friends for a wedding in the cotswolds. The house and facilities are emaculate and the booking process was very easy. Would definitely recommend.

Samantha

Picture Perfect

Beautifully presented cottage in a great location, we would not hesitate to recommend or book again.
