A beautifully thatched and beamed Cotswold cottage that’s immaculately and tastefully furnished and feels homely, loved and cherished. Old Fox Cottage is the quintessential chocolate-box Cotswold cottage that we’ve all surely dreamt of staying in. Sleeping four in a comfortable double master bedroom with king size bed and twin bedroom, it’s perfect for a family, two couples or one couple who like a little extra room. Centrally located in the historic village of Bretforton, it’s an ideal base to explore surrounding Cotswold villages – many of which are within a 10-minute drive – and super convenient if you’re invited to a wedding or function at the world-famous Fleece Inn, just a few steps away.

This is our second time staying in Old Fox Cottage. The last time was in 2019 with our two daughters. We loved it and wanted to return. The thatched roof cottage is clean and well decorated. Cozy hearth room with a warm electric fireplace, inviting sunroom , instant hot water for the shower and tub, comfortable bed. The town is the quintessential Cotswold town with a great historic pub called the Fleece Inn.

Cons:
Primary bedroom bed, although comfortable, sags a bit. Shower has a good supply of hot water, but is small, has minimal receptacles to plug in and charge devices.

As a woman traveling alone my comfort level is always a top priority. I want to feel safe sleeping alone in the property but also feel like the space is a warm and welcoming place to rest and retreat. This property Fox Cottage was All those things. I cooked most of my meals in the perfect little kitchen and enjoyed quiet evenings in the lounge area. The bedroom felt like a cozy nest. I slept peacefully. The logistics like parking, location, getting in and out with key were all easy and excellent. I greatly appreciated having a washer... it really allowed me to lighten what clothes I traveled with. All around excellent stay and exceptional service.

We fell in love with this cottage the moment we opened the door. It is decorated in a lovely way with all kinds of details that make it look "vintage". It is very cozy, with comfortable armchairs, cushions, rugs, etc. The main bedroom is adorable. It has a good-sized wardrobe, sufficient for holiday clothes. We didn't use the second bedroom, but it is nice for the kids (with several books for them to read). The kitchen has all the appliances you may need, and the conservatory (dining room) is amazing (the only thing I would point out is that when it is sunny, it can be a little challenging to eat there). The garden was a little bit overgrown, but we had some nice evenings there.
We loved the cottage and felt completely at home. We highly recommend it. When we come back to the Cotswolds, this is the place we will return to.

Our week long stay at the Old Fox came at the end of a travel intensive UK visit. My sister joined my husband and I, so we were three adults. The cottage had the old thatched roof charm we were hoping for, modernized enough to make for a very comfortable stay. It was a bit of a steep climb up to the bedrooms, but that was expected for the cottage charm. Though the bathroom is on the main level it has a lovely shower and soaking tub and a good sized medicine cabinet to store all of our toiletries in.

The very popular Fleece Inn pub is a very short walk out the front door. The disadvantage is that the overflow parking during lunch and dinner hours fills up the block in front of the cottage and we had to park down the street and make a couple of trips unloading the car. They also seem to have nightly events so one hears music and joyful voices until 10:30 or so. This was not a problem for us, but something some might want to be aware of. If you are planning to eat a dinner or two there, reservations need to be made two to three days in advance.

We found the little local grocery (just a very short walk away) to be delightful and they had most everything we needed for breakfast, lunch and dinners. We also brought home a few treasures found in the Ark, a small antique shop practically next door.

Though small, we relaxed in pretty much every seating area/room available (including outside). The conservatory was our favorite, with lots of light and garden views and bird watching. For those curious about the layout, as I was, the front door enters into a small sitting room, with two comfortable chairs. The TV/living room is off to the left. The entry room includes a closet perfect for coats. The kitchen is straight through the entry hall, with the stairs up to the bedrooms to the left and the bathroom and laundry area just beyond the stairs. The conservatory and garden door are just beyond the kitchen.
The master bedroom has an amazing closet space, and two small windows with lovely views.

The twin bedroom is quite tiny, two adults may struggle to share it, but probably perfect for children, and it includes a lovely little collection of children’s books.

If you have sunny weather, don’t miss the outside area of the Fleece Inn. It’s a great little park in its own right, and includes a tiny little lending library.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us on your recent stay at Old Fox Cottage. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Regarding your comments about the stairs and the size of the twin bedroom, we’d like to highlight that in the points of note on our website, we mention "Please be aware that Old Fox Cottage is a very old house and has steep stairs and low beams. There are also a few steps up to the outside, raised patio area. Due to these unique features, characteristic of a Grade II listed building, we would not recommend Old Fox Cottage for people who have mobility issues". Additionally, we provide a floor plan on the website to give a clearer understanding of the room sizes. We hope to see you in the Cotswolds again soon.

We booked Old Fox Cottage to celebrate the Christmas holidays. Communication before our arrival was fantastic and provided easy directions to the cottage. Once we entered we were thrilled to see the cottage had been decorated for the holidays including Christmas crackers. We were also supplied with tea, milk, bread, butter and cake. Just what we needed after our journey. The village itself is very cute and the pub across the square is delicious. We were also provided with some excellent suggestions on additional places to eat. The village is very conveniently located to explore the best of the Cotswolds. The cottage is tiny but did not feel cramped. The kitchen is well stocked for any cooking you want. We had a wonderful time on our holiday and look forward to coming back

We stayed at Old Fox Cottage for our honeymoon and all I can say is that it was perfect in every way!

The cottage itself is beautiful and sits in an idyllic location where we could enjoy many areas of the Cotswolds at our leisure.

It’s beautifully presented with many personal touches that makes you feel relaxed and almost home from home.

Many thanks for the wonderful memories.

We loved staying in this cottage, it is across the road from an amazing pub in a small village. It is very quiet and every window has a great outlook over trees and pretty streetscapes. The conservatory is beautiful and looks into the backyard which is very private and picturesque.
The beds are all comfortable and the house is warm and toasty. The kitchen has everything you could wish for to cook simply or more elaborately while on holidays.
Fox cottage has a homely vibe which we loved as we are not from the UK, it felt very English and quaint with loads of room for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. I would stay here again.

As you can see by your records we have stayed at Old Fox many many times over the last few years. Always lovely, well equipped. A little however... as we know the cottage well......it really is at the point now where it needs a really good deep clean . The skirting boards are quite dirty, the bathroom in particular and behind the toilet. The upholstery on the chairs in the sitting room is very stained and needs professional cleaning,as do the carpets,spillage stains on the rugs in the ,living room and conservatory. Needs a good hover round all the edges of all the rooms.
The bed is very very comfortable...but it has had the same valance sheet in all the times we have stayed....does question if it has ever been washed?..
The sun came out during our stay, the windows obviously haven't been cleaned for some time, worst ones are at the front of the cottage.
Lovely to have a dish washer in the kitchen...but during our weeks stay which is usual..why only 5 dish wash tablets provided...very strange...good job we eat out every day..so we do very little washing up.
Would I stay again..of course...

Thank you for your review and feedback. The points raised have been addressed with the owner and the housekeeper. Everywhere is cleaned prior to each stay but attention to detail will be the priority. They have a couple of valance sheets so switch regularly, however, I think they will buy new ones to have some difference.

Lovely, cosy cottage.

We booked Fox Cottage last minute (on the day of arrival) and felt very fortunate to have our booking accepted. This didn't take away from how clean and tidy the place was with a few essentials (including cake) here for us on arrival.

We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Cotswolds and where better to stay than a quintessential cottage such as this.

Very thoughtful touches with tasteful decoration it made the ideal spot for a proposal ... She said YES!

Would love to come back again and relive the special memories that we made here.

Old Fox Cottage is one of our favourite family getaway destinations. We have visited multiple times with our two boys and would not hesitate to recommend the cottage for short or long stays. Adam and Lois are the perfect hosts, outfitting the cottage with all the amenities needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The village is charming and everything is a short walk away, including The Fleece Inn and the Bretforton Community Shop. We cannot wait to visit again!

We had a short break in September, and the cottage was beautiful and cosy and is exactly as seen in the photos. It is incredibly well equipped for any length of stay and there has been a lot of thought put into its restoration. Bretforton is a small village and is an ideal quiet base from which to explore the Cotswolds, and I’d recommend the Fleece Inn for beer and dinner! We will be back!

Old Fox Cottage is lovely! The conservatory is great to eat in. Well stocked with Blurays etc. The highest mattress I have ever slept on, but very comfortable! Lots of toiletries provided. Only thing I needed that wasn't available was a serving spoon. Handy for the Fleece Inn. Didn't get the weather for sitting in the garden or for a BBQ.

Lovely little cottage in a beautiful setting with all the little touches. This property was very well equipped. It is a little tired in places and some of the furnishings are well loved shall we say, I found the single mattresses are not the most comfortable for an adult. My children loved playing with the large selection of games and it’s lovely to sit in the conservatory for a meal on a sunny evening.

Old Fox Cottage is delightful. It is maintained throughout to a high standard. Nothing is spared...everything provided for a cosy and comfortable stay. The decor and furnishings are just stunning with many quirky features.
The cottage is set in the beautiful village of Bretforton close to the breathtaking surrounding villages and landmarks in the Cotswolds.

We will definitely stay here again.

I had read the fantastic reviews and so was confident that we would have a great time at Old Fox Cottage but the reality greatly surpassed my expectations! The cottage itself is absolutely stunning and the decor is marvellous! My children loved spotting all the little touches everywhere especially all the foxes!
We had everything we needed from bath bubbles for the kids to cake bread and milk for us which was just such a wonderful touch. I would re book in a heartbeat. Thanks you for a fabulous stay the only thing is I wish it had been longer!

Old Fox cottage is a beautiful, character full building, like stepping back in time whilst still feeling modern and up to date. Tastefully decorated yet packed full of period features, and all the amenities that could be required, maybe though bring a fan if it's hot. The cottage is set in lovely little picture box village of Bretforton in the Cotswolds surrounded by history,with the National Trust Fleece Inn pub literally a stones throw from your door. A wonderful base to visit much of what this beautiful part of the country has to offer, with many lovely places within a few miles. Great hosts, a beautiful place to stay and so much to enjoy. We had a wonderful break and would definitely recommend to all.

Lovely stay at a beautiful cottage. Lovely decor with some beautiful touches. Great little village with a lovely pub. Perfect location with some lovely villages. Had a problem with electrics and hot water. Called the owners they came out next day and sorted the problem. Enjoyed our 3 night stay, after a sad year was a great tonic,

We can not thank enough to Adam and Lois for making our stay at the Old Fox Cottage such a lovely and memorable experience. They are without any doubt the best hosts ever!

The cottage is super beautiful and very tastefully decorated, it is full of lovely touches, generously supplied and spotlessly clean. We felt like at home from the very first minute, to the point that we decided to extend our holidays for another week!!!!

We absolutely recommend the Old Fox Cottage, our stay there was like a dream come true!!

Cozy, quaint cottage in the picturesque village of Bretforton. There is also friendly pub opposite to the property offering delivery.

Well-equipped kitchen and overall cozy vibe - fully decorated for Christmas.

Old Fox Cottage was just what my little family of three needed after a crazy few months in 2020. The cottage is everything it looks from the online pictures and more; cozy, welcoming, spotless & well equipped. The location was perfect for exploring this beautiful part of the country and I agree with an earlier review that it was tempting to not give feedback and keep this little cottage a well kept secret! Thank you to the owners for giving such thought and care and sharing their little gem with others.

We absolutely loved our stay at Old Fox Hall Cottage. It’s in a beautiful spot and the cottage itself is just perfect. Really well equipped and beautifully furnished with great attention to detail. The garden is a lovely sun trap for a g&t in the sunshine! Proximity to the pub is also worth a mention, pizzas are the best!

We stayed in Bretforton for two weeks, since we had to quarantine after entering the UK. We didn't get bored at all, we cooked a lot in the nice kitchen, we enjoyed playing Wii, doing some puzzles that they had there. We also read some of the book that they had in the cottage, and enjoyed the BBQ outside. The cottage was so clean, so confortable, they even had some robes for us. The location of course is amazing, a few step from the Fleece Inn, and from many public footpaths that bring you through the fields around Bretforton. We had an amazing stay at the Old fox Cottage and would stay there again with no hesitation. Also it was really easy to find a parking spot after getting groceries. And the little community shop in the village was providing every essentials.

Almost not wanting to write a review....as this cottage is probably the best we have stayed in. Not sure if I want to share!! We visit the Cotswolds at least twice a year and always stay in a different cottage as they are not quite perfect. Either tired, damp,dirty,uncomfortable cheap bed..I could go on. On opening the front door of Old Fox Cottage, we were met with a lovely fresh smell of a very well kept cottage, everything clean and neat and even a welcome hamper. Loads of space ,seperate eating area and a great bathroom the icing on the cake a truly comfortable bed!!.Thank you for a great break and we will be visiting again.

We loved everything about Old Fox Cottage- clean, full of character and attention to detail. The beds were really comfortable and the whole house is a delight. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a quiet spot to take a break and so close to The Fleece Inn which is full of character and amazing food. We will definitely be back.

A lovely, well equipped and extremely comfortable cottage. The most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. Great location for exploring with The wonderful Fleece Inn a few paces away. Very generous Welcome boxes and a lovely bottle of Champagne sent to us for New Years Eve. Adam was great to communicate with and very helpful. Only downside would be there isn’t any Netflix as advertised. Would definitely return.

Hi Diane thanks for your kind review and your comments. Just wanted to reply regarding the Netflix query. The property has a Smart TV which means you can watch Netflix using your own account but we don't advertise already having an account guests can access.

Lovely in every way

We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay during our visit over Christmas to see family. The location was perfect and the attention to detail within the cottage was astounding. We never expected full Christmas decorations (even a tree!) but it made the holiday feel more like home as a result. The little touches were amazing, from provisions for a full English breakfast, a scrumptious tea cake, and of course a bottle of bubbly! Already looking forward to our next stay... perhaps in the summer so we can enjoy the cute garden. Thanks so much!

We had the pleasure of staying in Old Fox Cottage while visiting the UK for my nieces wedding and highly recommend it, we will definitely stay there again on our next trip home. The cottage is beautifully furnished and well equipped with everything you need. The National Trust Fleece Inn is a few steps away if you don't feel like cooking and its only a short drive to beautiful North Cotswold villages like Broadway and Chipping Campden.

Cottage was lovely. Thank you for the beautiful stay.
No negatives, other than we were a little unprepared that there wasnt a supply of toilet paper or dishwasher pods for our stay - just wasn't expecting it.
Would have been nice to have a couple more smaller serving bowls in kitchen. Just helpful comments for future. We made do no problem!
