Bothy

We stayed at The Bothy for 2 nights in Feb 2024 and whilst we were thrilled with the location, proximity to Bibury centre and beautiful walks, we were disappointed with general cleanliness in the cottage itself. The cottage was filled with cobwebs and much of the cooking equipment / utensils were covered in either stains or mess from prior cooking that hadn’t properly been cleaned - so much so that we decided not to use the facilities to cook the breakfast that we had bought prior to arrival. In addition, the cottage does not have curtains in the downstairs or bathroom, causing obvious privacy concerns. Particularly in the bathroom where the window faces directly out onto the main road. Outside of this, the cottage was modern and comfortable, so with greater attention to detail with cleaning it would be a pleasant stay.

This historical Bothy (restored cowshed/home of a herder) as been converted into a comfortable one bedroom unit. The design and furniture are high quality and stylish. The photos are representative of the cottage. Check in was easy and finding the place was also easy given the good directions given. The bed was very comfortable and it was wonderful to be able to sleep with the windows open for fresh air. Bibury is a good central location to many historical gardens and sites. There are two eating establishments within walking distance of the cottage. We had no issue with the spiral staircase which linked the two floors. We would definitely stay here again on a return visit to the Cotswolds. We particularly liked walking along iconic Arlington Row after dinner when the village return to its quiet mode in the evening.

Perfect for a quiet get away. The location was good and we had everything we needed.

Spent five nights in the wonderful little spot. While small, it was very well equipped and appointed. The location is just right for country walks and sightseeing. One small plumbing issue was handled efficiently by the very friendly hosts. The weather during our stay was not very good, but the charm of the property made our indoor hours very memorable.
