Moat Cottage is a beautifully-kept small two-bedroom house that was ideal for our Cotswolds mini-break. There is such attention to detail in what is provided, from the generous grocery basics to dog towels and a torch. As long as you are prepared for just how truly rural the location is, you will have a wonderful time. The hosts provide a long listRead more of recommended places to visit. Our favourites were the Rollright Stones, Stow-on-the-Wold, and the beautiful Bourton-on-the-Water. Hide
