We stayed here for a few days. There were 6 of us. The cottage was exactly how it looks on the images. It did feel quite small as in parts, with 6 of us there. The cottage was nicely decorated with lovely quality items.
The location was in the north of the Cotswolds. Great for walking. There are building sites both to the side of the cottage and across the road, no work was being complied when we were there. A little walk took you to the farm, which had some animal and a cafe. The restaurant there and the Turkish on down the road looked nice.
The only problem we had was the downstairs toilet did not stop flushing straight away. Housekeeping did not return our calls to inform us if anything would be done about it.

We had a lovely stay at Thatch cottage. It was warm & cosy & the location was perfect. Everything we needed was provided except we could have done with a potato masher. There were a couple of things that need sorting out which were the dodgy caster on the settee & the downstairs loo wouldn’t stop flushing!! Otherwise great Cotswold getaway.

Some positives but more negatives
Positives - emails on check in and directions towels and bedding were lovely. Storage good for clothes etc. nice to have dishwasher tablets and fairy etc. cottage is bright and airy, nice to be in such a lovely village - will be good when pub is restored.
Negatives - the water tastes horrible and there should be a note to advise it is undrinkable beforehand. Your hands and hair smell of chlorine. Would be good to have a brita tap or filtered water to drink fitted near sink. Sofa was broken. House not particularly clean, we found others people's socks and a toy in the bedrooms and it needs a good clean around skirtings, plug sockets etc. Sad only six logs supplied for log burner, would be nice to have a full basket at least. You could not adjust temperature in Shower in en suite so the water was scolding!
Frying pan in draw was so black and encrusted - needs changing. Water pressure goes up and down so two people cannot shower at one time.
Normal tv cannot be watched - picture all pixilated. Thank goodness we had a log in for Iplayer and Netflix.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us on your recent stay at Thatch Cottage. We're sorry to hear that some aspects of your stay didn't meet your expectations. Your valuable feedback has been shared with both the property owner and the housekeeper. We understand that you were in touch with the housekeeper during your stay, who explained that the area has hard water and that the owner is looking into fitting a filter on the tap. The owner has also confirmed that the sofa leg has now been repaired. They’ve let us know that the cottage was thoroughly cleaned prior to your arrival, and have taken your comments regarding this on board. With regard to the logs, we can confirm that as stated on our website, logs are provided for an initial fire between 1st October and 31st March. The frying pan is due to be replaced as soon as possible, and the water pressure has been checked and is working as it should. We hope have the opportunity to welcome you back to the Cotswolds again in the future.

A very well equipped rental with everything you need for a short break.

We all loved The Thatch, which was perfectly located for a wedding we attended. Although beautifully decorated, the only negative was the amount of cushions on the beds in two of the bedrooms and the limited space to store them, which made space quite tight.

The house was lovely and very clean. It had everything we needed but headroom a bit low in places. For those of you with pacemakers (like me) it has an induction hob so beware! It needs rubber mats for the ensuite and bathroom. Overall very comfortable.

Bolthole Retreats is highly recommended if you are looking for a holiday home in the Cotswolds. From the first moment I opened the website I was surprised by the beautiful, pleasant and informative style. Crystal clear, everything easy to find. That promised quality for the offering. And that turned out to be true.
Now in our second Cotswolds-style holiday home from Bolthole Retreats we experience the same perfection. Everything is there (kitchen equipment, nice showers and bath) for a pleasant stay, pleasantly and comfortably furnished in stylish colors and materials. The first house even with a well-thought-out interior design. Super chic and luxurious.
But most importantly it is all clean and the beds are excellent.
Price-quality is very good, especially compared to another (large) bookingi site.

Beautiful, charming, updated cottage with attention to detail and amenities. Pics are accurate. Well stocked kitchen with tea, milk, coffee to get you started. Comfortable beds, lovely bedding and towels. Nicely updated bathrooms. Conveniently close to Morten in Marsh - less than 10 min drive. Lovely small quaint village, didn't notice shops/pub. Would love to stay again!

Our stay at Thatch Cottage was so very good. The interiors are super and very stylish, all kitchen utensils plus more are provided. We did not have to take anything but ourselves to enjoy this gorgeous property and it is central to the beautiful cotswold towns and villages. Would definitely book again.

The cottage is everything it reports to be. Lovely, very well equipped and presented. Would highly recommend this place.
Only caveat is please be aware that parking is very tight. Really only for one car. With little option to park a second car nearby. Otherwise a great place .

We found lighting in lounge/eating area was not bright enough, a couple of the lights needed bulbs replacing. There were quite a few dead ladybirds around and in one bedroom, the one next to the bathroom, there were more around the curtain area. The cottage was comfortable and there was everything you would need in the kitchen.

The location of the cottage is wonderful. Close from the main attractive place of the Cotswolds.
The cottage is very small and smaller than it appears on the description.
It is well equipped anyway and when we ask for an additionnal kitchen ustensiles we were delivered fast.

The cottage is in a very good location in a quiet village which is close to main roads. Shops and restaurants within 3-4 miles.
Beautifully decorated and well kitted out. Quality appliances in the kitchen and plenty of crockery etc good heating and hot water, plus open fire if needed. Any issues were responded to quickly and overall was excellent accommodation and customer service.

There were 6 adults and we really loved the cottage. Unfortunately my husband and I drew the short straw and slept in the twin bed room but all 6 of us slept so well and enjoyed very lazy mornings. The weather was perfect which meant we could sit in the garden with our gin & tonics! Lovely local walks and lots of blackberries to pick for apple and blackberry crumble! The cottage was very well stocked. We all thought the photos on the website made the cottage look bigger than it actually was but it was very tastefully decorated and homely and fitted all 6 of us very well.

Thatch cottage is in a quiet village 10 minutes away from all the facilities of Morton in Marsh. Provided all we needed for a pleasant stay. Very well equiped kitchen and comfortable sofas/ chairs and beds. There was off road parking by the side of the cottage for 2 medium sized cars.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location only a short walk to a farm shop and lots of lovely footpaths all around. Cottage looked better than the photos, really cosy and well presented. Only issue was communication - an email prior to the stay was unanswered and the contact person did not reply to a text query about the location of firewood.

Thatch Cottage lived up to our expectations; pretty decor, cosy, comfortable bedrooms, a high-end well equipped kitchen and decent garden for evening drinks.
We particularly enjoyed the peaceful location, with sheep-dotted fields viewed from the upstairs windows, and easy access to Moreton and lots of other lovely Cotswold towns.
We’d like to have tried Scenic Suppers up the road at Todenham farm were we there longer, it looked great. Many thanks.
