Very comfortable and well equipped cottage. Great location with footpaths to explore from the village. Only downside for those taking dogs is the garden is definitely not secure - the hedge down one side gave very easy access for the dogs to next door and not so easy access for the owners to recover them. It was a shame as it’s a lovely place to sit and enjoy the sun and the dogs had to stay on the lead.

Macs Leap is in a tranquil location and was perfect for what we needed on a working break. High end finishings throughout. Comfy beds and very sumptuous towels. Handy to have a washing machine and tumble dryer too

if you're tall mind your head going into the lounge doorway (only doorway you need to duck)

Went on at least 7 different rights of way dog walks, all in the village which was fab as my own village only has 2.

Downsides the fridge was leaking water, the glass ceiling light fittings were grubby in the hall, kitchen and main bed, stained pillow in downstairs bedroom. Maybe a little tired in some areas. Out of season this didn't matter to us but if I'd paid 1k for a week some of these details would have mattered to me personally.

Garden isn't dog proof, no artwork was in the garden as others mention so must have been removed. My dog didn't escape but I did need to monitor them.

This area of the country in every village inc this one is in the main, high gates, entry buzzer, type high end affluent properties but the people encountered were friendly, it just feels a little odd community mix wise. But as a quick holiday base it's great.

Excellent stay, great facilities and ideally located to explore the Cotswolds.
Only downside was the garden not 100% dog proof, which meant early walks in dressing gown taking the dog round the garden on the lead. It wouldn’t take much to secure the garden and that would make the stay perfect.

You couldn’t ask for more. We stayed during February half term and had a wonderful time. The cottage is in a picturesque village, with a small play area on the green and lots of great dog walks. It’s a great location for exploring the Cotswolds. The cottage itself is beautiful, well stocked for a holiday cottage, with comfy beds. It was also lovely and warm. It’s been well thought out, with luxurious homely touches (hand made curtains, a TV in the master bedroom, his and hers wardrobes for example). It’s a great retreat to relax and unwind. We didn’t want to leave. Communication from StayCotswold was excellent from booking onwards. This was our first time using this company; we will be booking again. Thank you for a wonderful week.

Macs Leap was beautiful. It had everything we needed.
The rooms were bigger than I expected and the beds were really comfortable.
We stayed here to visit most of the cotswolds which made it the perfect place to stay.

We stayed as 4 adults, 1 dog and a 1 year old. Plenty of space in the house, we each had our own 'living quarters' due to the house layout, which worked really well for us. House was brilliantly equipped. Lovely local village, but need a car to get to nearest amenities (shops / pub) within an 8 min drive. A beautifully decorated home, comfy beds, and the bedrooms were far more generous in size than the pictures gave off! We would stay again :-)

I stay regularly in holiday lets and this is “up there “, for excellence, the soft furnishings were tasteful, the kitchen implements were of good quality, the bedrooms extremely comfortable, bathrooms well appointed with tasteful decoration, infact the cottage throughout had been furnished and put together as if it was someone’s home and not a holiday let
If you have a dog, be aware that a fence is required down one part of the garden as it is not completely secure.
The location of Mac’s Leap is also amazing, …..this cottage really is the “ real deal”…big Thankyou to the owners for the thoughtfulness that they have put into Macs Leap for the comfort of their guests……it was appreciated……..Maureen

Loved our 3 night break at Mac’s Leap. Lovely cottage, wonderfully restored and extended. Just a few small issues…. Garden not secure for dogs, needs some fencing, some hooks around the place would be useful, particularly bedrooms and bathrooms, fridge was leaking water and kitchen bin didn’t stay closed! Sculptures in garden a little odd (but understand this is a personal view), you could easily take your eye out with one of them!

Despite the above few points, we really loved the cottage, which was clean and comfortable. Great location for walking.

A wonderful cottage in a quiet location. We only used the ground floor part of the house but regretted not using the upstairs bedroom and bathroom as the downstairs bedroom was slightly damp and difficult to get good airflow for ventilation. The large garden was excellent for our dogs and the kitchen area offered substantial space for us all. Lovely lounge room with comfortable furniture and a magnificent fireplace area. Parking is a bit awkward for a large vehicle but manageable all the same.

We stayed for four nights at this beautifully located cottage, it’s situated right by the village green. It’s in the most peaceful, stunning little village. Only 8 minutes drive to either of the bigger towns, Moreton-In-Marsh or Stow-on-the-Wold. Only 12 minutes to Daylesford Organic. We enjoyed numerous country walks with our dog straight from the door, including a lovely Byway walk to Chaselton House. Macs Leap was the cleanest cottage we have ever stayed in, not a single crumb found in the kitchen or any cupboards. The bathrooms were also equally spotless. No cobwebs or dust to be found anywhere. The cottage has incredibly high quality furnishings, and a huge amount of time had clearly been taken landscaping the garden- the sculptures in particular were lovely. We moved a bench in the garden across a gap in the hedge to ensure the garden was secure enough for our large dog (our apologies that we forgot to move this back as promised the morning that we left!) We would absolutely love to stay at Macs Leap again.
