Cotswolds Thatch Cottage, countryside views, walk to shops.

A discount off the advertised rate will be calculated at the time of booking for stays of 1 week or more and again at 28 days or more.

A wonderful opportunity to experience archetypal English thatch cottage living for up to 6 guests in iconic Broadway, The Cotswolds. This lovely, centuries old thatched cottage - of which only a few remain and is walking distance to sites, shops and olde English pubs - is located in the stunning and unmissable Cotswolds village of Broadway, which is often referred to as the 'jewel of the Cotswolds' and the 'show village of England'. Broadway is well known for its excellent art galleries, antique and modern furniture stores such as OKA which is set in a beautiful Georgian House on the High Street and let's not forget all the wonderful restaurants, cafes, delis, pubs and gift shops.

The village is also perfectly placed for exploring the many beautiful towns and villages of the Cotswolds, as well as Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare and the Royal Spa Town of Cheltenham.

Additionally, the Cottage is moments from the Cotswold Way which is a 102-mile (164 km) long-distance footpath, running along the Cotswold Edge escarpment of the Cotswold Hills in England.

A legacy of the Broadway Artists' Colony is that the village has several of the country's best art galleries. There are also a number of restaurants, pubs and tea shops, as well as a range of gift and clothes shops. Relaxation, retail therapy and good food and drink make Broadway a very popular place to stay and visit throughout the year. There's also a SPA at the wonderful Lygon Arms Hotel in the village.

The Vale of Evesham is the fruit and vegetable basket of England and has for many centuries supported a number of communities that have thrived on its fertile soil. Drained by the River Avon and with the town of Evesham as its centre, the Vale includes land in south Worcestershire, south Warwickshire and north Gloucestershire.

The Cotswolds are a range of hills in west-central England, sometimes called the 'Heart of England'. The name Cotswold means 'sheep enclosure in rolling hillsides'.The area is defined by the bedrock of Jurassic limestone that creates a type of grassland habitat rare in the UK and that is quarried for the golden coloured Cotswold stone. It contains unique features derived from the use of this mineral; the predominantly rural landscape contains beautiful stone-built villages, historical towns and stately homes and gardens.

In the Middle Ages the wool trade made the Cotswolds prosperous and some of this money was put into the building of churches, leaving the area with a number of large handsome Cotswold stone 'wool churches'. The area remains affluent, which has encouraged the establishment of many high quality pubs, restaurants and antique shops.

Cotswold towns include Bourton-on-the-Water, Broadway, Burford, Chipping Norton, Cirencester, Moreton-in-Marsh, Northleach, Stow-on-the-Wold, Stroud and Winchcombe. The town of Chipping Campden is notable for being the home of the Arts and Crafts movement, founded by William Morris at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. William Morris lived occasionally in Broadway Tower, a folly, now part of a country park. Chipping Campden is also known for the annual Cotswold Olympick Games, a celebration of sports and games dating back to the early 17th century. It's a short drive from the cottage to this village.

Broadway has a number of places to eat and drink, with a range of cuisines and prices to suit most tastes and budgets. The list below is a sample of the options available:

•Russell's
•Broadway Deli
•The Lygon Arms
•The Potting Shed

Old fashioned charm thatched cottage
Situated right on a busy road with little parking, especially for a large vehicle. No place in the bedrooms to put suitcases and had to climb a spiral staircase. No mirrors in the bathrooms except one small vanity mirror…. No toilet paper holders, ensuite bathroom was very unusual. It had a shower over the toilet and small sink. We had problems with heating and managed to get a bit of heat the first night but not again after that. It was extremely cold and damp weather for July and without heat made our stay somewhat uncomfortable. Would not return to this property.

Christmas in the Cotswolds
We had the most wonderful time at the cottage in Broadway! We were there over Christmas/Boxing Day and it was the perfect place to hole up and relax! Photos don’t do it justice - it is just beautiful! Everything you need including a first floor toilet which came in handy! We cooked meals and played games. Only complaint was that the Bluetooth speaker wasn’t connecting so remember to bring your own - there were CDs which we played though! The location was right on the road to Broadway and was an easy walk to town. The views from the house to the fields across the street were gorgeous!

Great place for a family
Our family loved staying here for our recent holiday in the Cotswolds. Location was great for walking into town, and there were many public foot paths for exploring near the cottage. The addition of modern conveniences like TV and wifi kept the younger members of our group happy too. Would love to visit again!

Pleasant cottage, reasonable location for Broadway village
All good, but television unnecessarily complicated and, apparently, dead batteries in the remote. Also, no instructions for the dishwasher and although there was an iron provided, we couldn't find an ironing board.
