Overview

This gorgeous detached cottage on the edge of the pretty Cotswold market town of Fairford, a short stroll to a selection of pubs and the market square for restaurants, shops and Lynwood’s, the best barista in the Cotswolds! The town and surrounding area is crisscrossed with many footpaths, to enjoy lovely walks in the Cotswold countryside and to explore the nearby Cotswold water park lakes. The nearby villages of Eastleach, Bibury, Hatherop, Quenington, Coln St.Aldwyns and a wealth of other beautiful Cotswold villages offering wonderful scenery and fantastic pubs and restaurants, all within a short walk, cycle or drive.

The town sits on a pretty stretch of the River Coln and is famous for its parish church of St Mary’s, which is perhaps the finest ‘wool church’ in the country – being the only church with a complete set of 28 medieval stained glass windows telling the story of the Bible.

Every Wednesday the market square is busy with a traditional market, and a continental market twice a year and a magical Christmas market on the first Friday of December.

For three days every year RAF Fairford hosts the world’s largest military air show – the Royal International Air Tattoo – book early as tickets sell out quickly.

Reviews

4.8/5

I couldn't have picked a worse week weather wise for my stay at Wood Cottage, it poured every day! I couldn't have been in a lovelier place however as this little cottage was so welcoming, cosy and well equipped. Sue and Guy have thought of everything, I wanted for nothing. It is absolutely spotless, beautifully done, comfortable and a pleasure to be in. I stayed on my own ( with Chihuahua) and felt so safe, as did she in the completely secure garden. This is the nicest cottage I've stayed in and would thoroughly recommend it, it turned what could have been a grim week into a really restful sanctuary. It is loved and you can feel it as soon as you step through the front door ??

We stayed last year and loved it so much we came back! It was just as we remembered, if not better. Planning to make our annual trip here a tradition.

5/5

Wood Cottage is an idea place to stay for those looking for quiet, warm, cosy and clean accommodation in Fairford. Everything is pretty new and the cottage is a little home from home. We stayed a week with our dog, found the property was perfect for us, and provided everything we needed. There are lovely walks right from the front gate, parking in the road outside is easy and the Marlborough Arms and Bull Hotel are within an easy walk and provide some tasty food.
