WORK IN THE COTSWOLDS. CAN ISOLATE. Large garden

Built around 1840, the cottage is on a dead end country road, so no traffic. Totally renovated in 2010 as a country retreat for its owner, it boasts modern central heating, new bathrooms, handmade curtains and a new kitchen equipped to the highest standard.

Rated 4*GOLD by the English Tourist Board 8 years in a row.

Traditional character has been preserved with deep windows, beams, a traditional wood fire, and Rayburn (Aga) cooker, and a selection of antique pictures. We even provide complimentary logs for the fire!

It is a five minute walk to a traditional English pub with excellent food. Rolling Cotswold countryside can be seen past the traditional village roof lines at the back.

There is a large cottage garden with patio, barb-b- q, and outdoor dining. Fluffy towels and toiletries provide that extra pampered feel. There is an extensive selection of books, and even some children's books and toys for the perfect country retreat.

NEWSFLASH: Cottage awarded Gold rating by English Tourist Board again. - Dec 2016.

The English Tourist Board has certified this property as family-ready and suitable for cyclists. Cycle hire is available and there is storage. Cot, high chair, toys, plastic cutlery and crockery all available. Due to coronavirus advice we are presently unable to provide a cot.

Gem in the Cotswolds
The cottage and surrounding neighborhood were lovely. Close to all the towns but not the crowds. Beautiful natural setting and everything we needed to feel at home.

A lovely weekend
Perfect location to enjoy the area from. Cottage is lovely and cosy. Beds comfy, sitting room cosy and having three bathrooms a great bonus. Fantastic views from the upstairs bedrooms and the village is stunning. Would recommend the cottage highly and would love to return. We were very lucky with the weather which meant we saw the village at its best as well as surrounding locations but our only negative feedback for a stay in the area, which has nothing to do with this cottage specifically, is that The Lamb Inn in the village. It wasn't what we expected having heard about it on a previous visit to the area but having failed to make it there that time. It seems it has changed hands and to be honest the staff were not overly customer focussed. We have a few tales to tell from our evening meal there!!! We all said that our meals were tasty which is the main aim, but the place was lacking atmosphere, there was a massive TV with football on in the bar area, which I guess is great if that's what you want and they actually switched off the lights in one section after the table based there left.....time to leave cue I guess except it was only 930.....to be honest it's worth going further afield to find a more cosy experience. A shame as people had spoken so highly of it. Still it was entertaining for the wrong reasons and definitely didn't spoil a lovely weekend.

Relaxing stay
A lovely English cottage in a typical Cotswold village. The cottage is very comfortable and extremely well equipped with good outside space when the weather is warm. We would return and would certainly recommend.

Cottage Home
We really like the Great Rissington area. House it very cute. We only stayed 2 nights, but I could see it being used for more nights to truly unwind. We actually didn’t realize there was a “secret garden” past the gate in the first back yard until our second day. We enjoyed just sitting in the backyard and watching the clouds go by (we had amazing weather). Our only negative is one of the bathroom toilets didn’t work which was ok because there were only 4 of us and 3 bathrooms. Also, sad we didn’t ever get to eat at the lamb inn. If you want to eat there make a reservation. The first night we tried to eat there at 8:00 pm and the cook had left. The second night they were completely book. So had to drive 15 minutes to dinner, when a simple walk to dinner would have been so nice. I would recommend this cottage to anyone.

Darling Cottage with modern conveniences
I wanted to stay in a quintessential English cottage in the Cotswolds and this was definitely it. Well appointed and comfortable with modern bathrooms and conveniences. The host was quick to respond to any questions and provided detailed information in his house manual about the area and suggested things to do. We walked to the local pub/inn "The Lamb Inn" for a meal and a Guinness. Good food and friendly locals. The cottage is also close to the public walking paths for a scenic stroll. We loved it and highly recommend.

Charming Cotswold cottage
Easterleigh felt like the quintessential Cotswold cottage - full of charm and character. Great Rissington is a lovely village with great access to all the central Cotswolds’ ‘big hitters’. We took Sunday lunch at the local Lamb Inn, which was excellent. Our group of six - two grandparents, two parents, two kids <10 were very comfortable for a week, and would happily return. Thanks, Mark!

Basically good with reservations
The property is attractive to look at, spacious and cosy. It has some disappointing shortcomings, for example - the Wi-Fi password listed in the email communication and in the welcome brochure was incorrect which necessitated contacting the local agent. She supplied the correct one confirming she had informed the owner previously. No wash tabs available and limited dishwasher tabs, only enough logs for two days during our stay ( where do you obtain logs and wash tabs late on Christmas Eve). The remote control of the heating via the local agent was not an ideal situation especially as we couldn’t light a fire when required. Although when the heating was on the cottage was warm and cosy. The cottage shows a Rayburn but you are not encouraged to use it due to the high cost of electricity. We are strangers to the area and found the instructions for disposal of waste some what ambiguous, plus the box for waste paper appeared to be missing. It would be useful if a new and up to date instruction brochure was provided for all current equipment and waste collection days. The cottage would be excellent for a summer stay but needs fine tuning for winter. The local agent was excellent and went out of her way to help before and during our stay.
