This property in in a very central location for exploring the Cotswolds and surrounding area. It is in a peaceful location about a mile or so to the east of the pretty town of Shipston-on-Stour. The property is very secluded and secure and is on a sheep farm. Tom's cottage had been beautifully converted from a barn/outbuildings into a lovely character cottage with many original features - beams etc. There is parking right outside. We were met by Tom who showed us the property and explained various procedures, and apart from then we didn't see him again although we thought we saw him on a few occasions driving his tractor through the adjacent field. That said, Tom was readily contactable by mobile. The cottage itself was presented very clean and welcoming. There is a spacious lounge/kitchen area (very well equipped with dishwasher and fridge) and the lounge area had two (quite low) sofas facing a large inglenook fireplace - containing an 'electric' wood burner. The bathroom contains toilet, bath and 2 showers - one in a cubicle and one above the bath. There is a double bedroom and a twin bedroom. At the end of the corridor is a washing machine. The central heating was very effective. From the double entry doors and patio area there is a lovely view out over the fields to the surrounding hills. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property and at some point in the future we may return. Thank you Tom.

Great place to stay

We had a lovely week here - it's a splendid, quiet, comfortable place to stay, with a most helpful and friendly host. The owners are just around the corner if needed but the cottage is completely self-contained and private. It has all the equipment we needed and more and even had sufficient power points!

A gem of a place

I rented this property for my elderly parents as they were visiting me. They thoroughly enjoyed it and said they would stay again. They are in their mid to late 70's.

Relaxing, peaceful lovely views

Host very friendly, showed us around garden area when we first arrived, including showing us Hercules , a baby lamb abandoned by its mum so being hand reared by them, then left us to our own devices but where near by if needed. Accomodation was lovely with great views, and visits from all kinds of birds and rabbits and hares and we even seen deers on a couple of occasions . The local village has a handfull of shops and plenty of places to go for an evening meal. Stratford upon Avon and Banbury nice places for a visit. Also the car museum was a great day out. We will be back.

A super week at Pool Meadow Cottage.

Helpful directions from Tom enabled me to easily locate the property on the road. It is then down a private driveway and consequently well away from the road and thus Pool Meadow Cottage is a haven of peace and tranquility. Everything that one could require is there in the property and the patio area with table and chairs looks across the open fields. Parking the car was a delight as you are able to park close to the entrance door of the property so unloading and then reloading all the holiday gear is very easy. Three of us had a seven nights stay which we all thoroughly enjoyed, my wife and I slept soundly in the very comfortable bed. We live in a hard water area and loved the soft water in this location, it does make for a lovely cup of tea ! I thoroughly recommend Pool Meadow Cottage as somewhere to stay in that area. Close to Banbury and also Stratford upon Avon and Bourton on the Water are all within easy driving distance. Tom, the host responded swiftly when I initially booked the property and kindly acknowledged receipt of my payment, he gave clear directions over the phone a couple of days prior to our arrival and was on hand to greet us when we arrived and also when it was time for us to make our way home. Without question I would stay at Pool Meadow Cottage again if I need to re-visit the area.
