We chose the Old Rectory for a family holiday to celebrate a 90th and 30th birthday.

We had a wonderful time at the Old Rectory. The building itself is in a lovely location and is just as impressive as the photos on the website indicate - a lovely facade with stunning views over the countryside to the rear. Inside there is plenty of room to relax and enjoy the spacious and tasteful accommodation. The bedrooms and bathrooms are pleasantly appointed too, the only drawback being a slight lack of wardrobe storage for clothes.

We ate in one night and all of us had a great time around the dining room table and then later the younger ones enjoyed playing pool and table tennis, while the older contingent watched television and talked in one of the other lounges. The other two nights we enjoyed a meal in the quaint Carpenters Arms 100 yards down the road in the centre of the village. We were also lucky with the weather for our stay and enjoyed having breakfast outside and then evening drinks watching the sun go down.

There are plenty of places to see and things to do in the local area - some of the ones we chose were Bourton on the Water, the Roman Villa, Stow on the Wold, Cotswold Country Park & Beach. We enjoyed exploring Miserden itself visiting the adjacent church of St Andrews and following some of the local walking trails.

In summary we were all very impressed with the Old Rectory and would highly recommend it as a place to stay - we had a great time, a perfect way to celebrate birthdays within our family.

I have marked the condition category down due to the condition of the lawn on arrival i.e. littered with dog faeces which I had to clear up before allowing my grandchildren anywhere near it.

Peter, we’re truly sorry to hear that the previous guests hadn’t cleaned up after their pets, we completely understand how disappointing that must have been. We do hope that, despite this, you and your family were still able to make the most of your time together and enjoy the beautiful Cotswolds!

Family w/e get together in a lovely old Rectory in the Cotswolds. This is an annual event and this destination is our best so far. The location was great, and accessibility of the local village and lovely pub was a bonus.
Everything is provided for the guests and it all works very well. The bedrooms were all of a generous size so everybody was happy.
A little more attention to comfort in the sitting rooms to make them feel more homely would be nice. A little more attention in the kitchen to tea towels etc would also be desirable, however these are small constructive comments to add to an otherwise very enjoyable stay.

Our stay at Old Rectory exceeded our expectations in all areas. Beautiful property with very spacious living areas and bedrooms easily accommodating 14 people including 4 children and a dog. Although it was freezing outside (middle of January) the inside of the property was warm and comfortable in all rooms. Very comfortable beds and bathrooms equipped with all the essentials.
Fabulous big kitchen and dining room again equipped with everything one would need to feed a small crowd. Welcome supplies of coffee, tea, milk etc supplied and much more.
We definitely want to come back and experience this property in the summer.

The Old Rectory in Miserden was the perfect place for our large family Christmas/New Year Celebration. Couldn't have pictured a better, more scenic Costwolds stay. The house was beautifully decorated with Christmas lights and trees, everyone had their own rooms for ultimate comfort. Not to mention we were right next to gorgeous walking trails and the cutest pub a 1 min stroll down the street. The lawn in the back was perfect for the kids to kick the ball around and play cricket. All this to say the Property Manager was super responsive to my questions. Would definitely go back and/or recommend to others!

We had a fabulous stay at the Old Rectory. The house itself is impressive and plenty of room for a large group. The garden and views are stunning. The location itself was beautiful, with some great walks from the property, a little village shop and pub on the doorstep. The StayCotswolds company was also very professional and communication great. I would highly recommend the property and location to anyone.

The house is amazing and beautiful! We were a group of old college friends. The house was a perfect location, the accommodation was well presented and the local area stunning. The local pub and shop were both a great and extremely welcoming. The only thing missing was tea towels and a shortage of toilet rolls.
