September stay at the Old Post Office
We loved our September stay at The Old Post Office. A good base to be able to travel to some of the most beautiful parts of The Cotswolds. The cottage was cosy and had everything we needed, it’s a shame there wasn’t a little pub nearby but it was set in a lovely little hamlet and was very quiet at night. We will definitely be back, but perhaps to a different location we’ve not yet explored!

Lovely place for some peace and quiet
The cottage is lovely and in a peaceful location. Everything is as lovely as it looks in the pictures. We had a peaceful stay in a quiet location. The owners were very helpful during our stay as well. If you have mobility issues, the stairs and bath may be difficult for you.

Lovely cottage
I stayed here with my 2 teenage children. It is a lovely cottage, had everything we needed (more hangers needed for the wardrobe and no hair dryer though) A lovely hamper left for us. The cottage was immaculate. It’s in a quiet area but a good location for explaining other areas. We visited Diddly Squat, Sudeley castle, Lacock abbey, broadway, Bourton-on the water, Bath and Snowshill Manor.

Nice stay
Everything was perfect. The only thing I can Say.. We couldn’t clean after our meals in the kitchen because hoover is not present in the house. Also the towel were not in off for four ,without the washing machine was a bit annoying.. But we had a nice moment anyway. We will back with your agency very soon! Thanks, Rachele from Tuscany !

Exactly like the pictures
Small details like being worried about staining the counters and the towels. Beds that were a little on the harder side. And wishing there were more than one hand towel for 4 persons for a 4 days stay, dissappear in all the perfection of this place. The Old Post Office is a little gem. The cleanliness was immaculately ✨️ The quality of the bedlinen and towels was delightful and a lovely welcome package was the icing on the cake. We loved staying there, and would absolutely do it again in a heart beat.

The old Post Office is a most beautiful and charming Cotswolds cottage
The Old Post Office Church Westcote Cotswolds is absolutely exquisite and perfectly captures all the charms you’d expect when visiting such a beautiful part of England The interior is of very high quality decor with contemporary furniture and fittings and has been lovingly restored to the upmost degree whilst maintaining the feel of a typical stunning Cotswold cottage It sits in a gorgeous little hamlet but is only 2 miles from Daylesford organic farm and shop along side a Bamford beauty spa and shop It’s an easy and quick drive to some wonderful historic popular villages too such as Chipping Campden , Cirencester, medieval Village of Burford I’m already preparing for my next magical stay at The Old Post Office !

A peaceful, late summer break in a quiet, rural hamlet at the epi-centre of the Cotswolds
We had a lovely time at the cottage. It had just about everything one needed for a peaceful, comfortable stay. The village is quiet and feels a million miles away from anywhere, but in reality is just 15 minutes from Stow and just about everywhere else one would want to visit in the Cotswolds. The cottage felt brand new; had been decked out tastefully (look at the photos). A microwave oven would have been handy, but not essential. A slip mat for the bath might be a consideration. BTW, the shower is the best shower we have ever had in a rental! It might also help protect the cottage's crockery if there was a 'protective mat' for the lovely Belfast sink (just a thought). The small garden could have done with a tidy and the grass cut as the weather was fantastic for early September. Communication between the owner , Stay Cotswolds and ourselves was fantastic.
