Family friendly Cotswold holiday cottage - Brook Cottage, Lower Brailes

A very cosy cottage, with a well presented garden (garden furniture would have been nice as we hit 20 degrees in March and it would have been good not to have to take out kitchen chairs to sit on). The kitchen was well equipped and really lovely (inside the oven could do with a bit of a clean, but didn’t deter from its use). My only criticism would be that it’s in a bit of a need of a refresh. The paintwork, walls are looking a little tired. But again doesn’t detract from it being a cosy house. The beds are super comfy the log burner was excellent. The cosy dining area was perfect for breakfast. Lovely to have lots of Ordnance Survey maps and local walking books. Books to read, games and jigsaws. The George is a short walk up a gentle hill and was very good. The food was delicious. The butcher in Upper Brailes is amazing. The walk from the Church on the paths across the fields to the windmill was lovely (the local farmer, guided us) Theo the log delivery man was so lovely. We met him as we arrived. Although it is on the main road it doesn’t affect the relaxed, calming feel of the house. Highly recommended.

Beautiful cottage located in a quaint little village. Had everything you will need for a perfect weekend away with a great little local a few minutes walk up a gentle incline. Would recommend to family and friends for sure .

Lovely cottage, well placed. One comment is that the stairs to the bedrooms and bathroom are very steep and narrow.

We had a lovely time , the cottage is in a great spot and some lovely walks from the door . The house is very clean and cared for and we had everything we could require . The beds are super comfy and although stairs steep the thought of double sided hand rails would support anyone whom would find it tricky . The house has been beautifully renovated with care and love and this can be felt . We will return .
