The Central England / Cotswolds / Gloucestershire region

The Cotsowld Hills are famous worldwide as capturing the essence of English country scenes.

Gentle hills and numerous villages, 100s of years old, built of warm stone, with friendly pubs tea rooms and antique shops, capture the atmosphere.

Gentle country walks or strenuous hikes, riding, touring to see the villages and numerous stately homes are all part of the scene.

In summer beautiful rolling fields stretch out, in winter cozy log and cola fires burn everywhere whilst the countryside is wrapped in gentle mist.

The Great Rissington area

Great Rissington dates back to at least 1086, it still has a population of a couple of hundred.

The church is over 900yrs old, the village pub and green are several hundred years old. There are very few modern buildings. It is a sleepy, friendly village that is off the beaten track, some residents have lived here their whole lives. No tourist coaches here, just country life.

Yet just 5 miles away are the famous centres of Stow-on the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water and Burford. All postcard-picture villages with fascinating antiques shops and long histories.

“Comfortable and well equipped” Enjoyed a weekend reunion with 4 friends in this very comfortable and well equipped cottage. Plenty of space with the advantage of separate sitting room, dining room and kitchen/dining areas to accommodate a range of activities. Very comfortable bedrooms and 3 shower/bathrooms.

“Great cottage, great village, great time” We stayed in this cottage for a long weekend away with friends in the middle of January. The cottage was more spacious than expected and very well equipped. The bedrooms were large and three showers in the property was a real bonus. We cooked a meal on the Friday night and the kitchen was excellently equipped and had everything we needed. The area itself is fantastic, the village is lovely with a great pub and set within wonderful countryside great for walking. There is lots to do nearby and the Birdland centre in Bourton-pn-the-water is well worth a visit. This cottage is highly recommended.

“The perfect cottage for a quiet family Christmas!” 6 adults and a baby spent a wonderful week here over Christmas. The bedrooms are a good size, unexpected in such a quaint looking cottage! Excellent area upstairs that can be cut off to include large bedroom, landing area and en suite. Perfect for a couple and baby. The cottage was well equipped and in a lovely location in the village, a minutes walk from the church and two minutes walk from the pub! We drove to visit the Slaughters, Stow on the Wold and some other villages in the area. There are many walks/cycles from the cottage. All the locals we spoke to were lovely. Very relaxing place. Would definately return!

“Charm caught in time...” Completely timeless, what a lovely and homely cottage in the midst of England's beautiful Cotswold countryside. Would recommend to anyone looking for a perfect relaxing getaway. The house has beautiful bedrooms and all the amenities to make your stay enjoyable. Looking forward to going back...

“Couldn't be better!” We stayed in this cottage for a week with relatives from Canada while we visited the church and the village where my family had lived during World War 1. It was very well-appointed: all the bedrooms... more

“Perfect Christmas holiday with the extended family.” We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Easterleigh Cottage. We traveled from Australia with our two children, and stayed at the cottage with my mother, sister and brother-in-law. There was plenty of room for us all. The village is lovely and we were welcomed at the church for Christmas service and had a lovely dinner at the local pub. Shopping is easy at several local towns and it is a perfect central location for exploring the beautiful Cotswolds. Take your gumboots for a tramp through the fields.

“A charming and comfortable cottage in a magical setting.” This is a cosy and attractively furnished cottage, interesting and individual but with all the facilities you could ask for - lovely kitchen with Aga, well equipped utility room, plenty of bathrooms, snug lounge with wood burning stove and a small but pretty garden with furniture for outdoor eating. The furnishings are all of good quality and in lovely condition so that you feel as if you're walking into a "magazine" home - very escapist! We especially liked the fact that it is available for 3 day lets - much cheaper and more enjoyable than a hotel for a get-together of old friends. The village is so quiet, a real retreat from our every day reality. It's a very beautiful piece of history - the Hall and church are stunning. There is also a pub within easy walkiing distance serving good food. You are spoilt for choice for outings in the local area - some of the most beautiful Cotswold villages yet it is easy to get off the beaten track and walk in peace and isolation in the countryside. We would definitely go again.

“Spacious, idyllic, charming and comfortable” Our family of four stayed in this home and found it an excellent base for exploration of the countyside. The kitchen was especially well stocked and the home warm and inviting. We highly recommend it. It's the type of home family Christmas movies seem to be filmed in.

“Oldish 6 formers have a great time” Really enjoyed the property, very well set out, great to have the garden to enjoy and the village was very pretty and welcoming. The Lambs Inn does great food. Ideal place to catch up with friends in a relaxed cosy atmosphere. One small point: it would be good to check if the zip together beds stayed together or apart with the appropriate bedding before arrival.

“great location and lovely house” We were 2 families with 4 children in Easterleigh Cottage and the house was big enough for all of us. The cottage is lovely and newly furnished. Great Rissington is a very small peaceful village, great to visit the Cotswolds but also Oxford and Stratford upon Avon.
