Booking & Payment
StayCotswold is a marketing agent and therefore does not own any of the cottages listed on our website. In terms of cleaning and maintenance, the properties within our portfolio are managed by a third party property manager or the property owner – your pre-arrival email will contain confirmation and contact details for the person managing your property. Bookings made via us form a legal agreement directly between you and the property owner.
For bookings commencing more than 8 weeks in advance, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required to confirm the booking. The balance payment is then due 8 weeks prior to arrival.
All payments are made subject to the cancellation policy set out in the standard Booking Conditions.

- Up to two medium sized dogs are accepted for an additional £40 per booking per dog (please see 'Things to Note...' below). For pet rules, please visit our FAQs
- The property’s garden is enclosed by hedges only, so young children and pets should be supervised outside at all times

- The property has an oil-fired central heating system
