About the home

Willowbank Cottage is a four double bedroom, grade II listed property with panoramic country views.
The original part of the cottage dates back to the 16th Century. It has been sympathetically restored and contains many original features including original beams,exposed walls and cottage windows, whilst allowing for modern living. It is a truly charming property with a real 'get away from it all' feel about it.

The cottage is located in its own private gardens with a high degree of privacy on a quiet, no through lane, surrounded by open fields. Behind the property runs the steam powered Honeybourne line, a train line which dates back to 1899, this completes the cottage's feel of stepping back in time.

With four double bedrooms and three reception rooms the cottage is an ideal place to enjoy family holidays and get togethers with friends.

There is an abundance of wildlife to be seen and tranquil walks can be taken directly from the cottage taking you onto the Cotswold hills.

The cottage is set in an ideal location to explore the beautiful cotswold area.

Guestbook for Willowbank Cottage

A great place to stay for my 30th birthday, for young and old. Nice to be somewhere so peaceful and different from the day to day rat race.

A perfect place for a family get together. The cottage exceeded all our expectations. We enjoyed our stay so much. Listening to the barn owls during the evening was wonderful, not forgetting such close up views of the woodpeckers during the day.

Such a beautiful cottage - the best we have stayed in! Immaculatly decorated and cosy. We had a lovely relaxed time and will definetly come back.

A beautiful, well equipped cottage in lovely surroundings. We were all excited by the steam train (adults as well as children!). We spent a delightful week walking miles of footpaths in the countryside. Very theaputic.

What a wonderful cottage. Just the place to relax and get away from it all. Beautifully furnished and extremely well equipped. Thank you

Another lovely week at our favourite cottage. Peace and quiet, superb views, the abundance of wildlifew just outside the window, the steam train. Thank you for letting us stay.

Our second stay at this lovely cottage and another great time had by all. We'd forgotton how beautiful it all is here and just as excited about the trains!

We have had a wonderful 'memory' weekend with our family before our son gets married. Beautiful and comfortable cottage and added extras make all the difference. A fantastic base for us all to enjoy each others company and the memories. Thank you.

A fantastic stay with friends anf family for race week. We don't want to go home although we could have done with some winners!
