Reviews

Myself and 8 friends spent the weekend here for my birthday. We had a fabulous weekend and the house was cosy, clean and comfortable. The beds were extremely comfortable and the showers were perfect (my 2 main criterias for any house). The house had been decorated for Christmas which was a lovely touch, as was the basket of kindling and wood for the fire! We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend!

Beautiful property and in the perfect location for a wedding we were attending at Stone Barn. Exactly what we needed for our 2 night stay. The pub which serves great food is only 100 yards away so well positioned. Overall our stay was just what we expected.

Had an amazing stay for my hubby's 40th with the whole family. The facilities were great, and the house was in a great location to explore the Cotswolds. Wish we could have stayed another night and had more time to cook in an amazing kitchen.

Location

Fossebridge hamlet is on the Fosse Way (the A429), an impressive Roman road that runs in and out of a steep wooded valley and over the River Coln. It is surrounded by some of the most beautiful, rolling countryside that the Cotswolds has to offer, with walks up the Coln Valley to the Roman Villa at Chedworth and downstream towards beautiful Bibury and the famous Arlington Row. Fossebridge has its own pub - the Inn at Fossebridge – and the popular Stump is just two minutes’ drive.
