Just outside Burford in a quiet hamlet you find Betty’s Cottage. This historic, thatched cottage is a chocolate box scene brought to life. Once two properties, it has been renovated with a touch of the old and the new to create the three-bedroom home you see today. With an unusual layout you can spend time in the modern kitchen/diner or the comfortable living room which has a wood-burning stove in the old part of the cottage. With Cotswold highlights such as Blenheim Palace, Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and Cirencester within easy reach, Betty’s Cottage is the ideal country hub.

Needs a few tweaks to make it perfect

Pretty cottage with a lovely modern kitchen. Nice decoration throughout. Very comfy downstairs bed. Very quiet location, perfect if you want to get away from stress. Close to Burford so easy to get food etc. Bolt hole Retreats is an excellent company to deal with. Everything managed quickly and efficiently. They made me aware that Bettys Cottage was a new addition so I am guessing they were not aware of the difficulties below. I would suggest they are rectified for the property to be up to the high standards of Bolthole Retreats. Bolthole Retreats mentioned there was a welcome pack of essentials (tea coffee milk etc) so we did not bring it with us. However this was not there (the small bottle of champagne and chocolates was a nice touch). The Wi-Fi did not reach the kitchen and so it would be nice if the owners could obtain a booster as we did most of our entertaining there. The owner was just leaving the property when we arrived. He did not wait to welcome us. When we got in we noticed the 2nd single bed had not been made up. When I called he explained where the bedding was (under the bed), and asked us to make it up ourselves, There was hair in the plug hole of the shower room. The shower head in the bathroom upstairs is too strong and the whole room was flooded when the shower head flew off it’s setting. Maybe a sign in this bathroom to let people know? There were nails poking out of the decking and one of the wooden slats dipped when you walked on it. Bolthole Retreat stated on day of departure to leave at 10am but the owners manual said 9am. The Bolthole Retreats information on what the property contains, did not mention a coffee pod machine. There was one there so it would be good to mention as a selling point as we brought our own and didn’t need to.

I booked this lovely cottage for a small family get together and not knowing the area well , took a chance on the location and whilst the cottage is in a rural location (no shops/pubs) the nearest town Burford had all we needed.
The cottage is well equipped but bring basics like tea, coffee milk etc and if u want to light the fire you will need to locate fire logs, none provided for us.
There is enough cutlery and cups etc for 6 , the garden is lovely and private. There is one double room downstairs and 2 up a steep stairs(beware coming down as low ceiling u will bump your head if not paying attention!!)

The Cotswolds is a lovely place to visit, the very wet season means there is a fair bit of flooding about , we enjoyed our visit and will be back.
