Picket Piece Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cosy cottage. The location was ideal for exploring the beautiful Cotswolds. A lovely place for a return visit.

Loved Picket Piece Cottage. Cosy, warm, well equipped. Comfortable beds. Loads of hot water for a bath. We really enjoyed batoning down the hatches for the snowy weekend. We would highly recommend!The directions for locating the house need to be more detailed, and updated.

What a charming and characterful little cottage in a lovely village surrounded by beautiful countryside! There were lots of little thoughtful touches that made us feel very welcome: a topped up sugar bowl, plenty of teabags, a basketful of logs, a bottle of wine, foil in a kitchen drawer. Nice to see a spaghetti western in amongst the DVDs too even though with the stove burning away we didn’t even turn the TV on for the entire four days. Overall, a cosy, homely and restful place to have a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend the trip to neighbouring Shorthampton to see the medieval wall paintings in the church.

The two bedrooms are small and there is limited headroom, access being restricted by low beams. The cottage needed a thorough ‘spring clean’. The small clothes cupboard in the main bedroom was filthy. The curtains upstairs were dirty and full of dust. The chests of drawers needed cleaning. The bread bin was filthy and there was no bottle of wine as promised. The ‘welcome’ pack had insufficient information and needed rewriting. The village itself with its two shops, its pub, its 12th century Church, its splendid views and walks, was lovely.
