Five Canadians journey to this beautiful period cottage in Great Rissington. For 2 weeks we enjoyed its quiet location for access to many nearby towns and villages by our van. We saw so much and this house was perfect for packing picnic lunches and coming home to relax and enjoy our home made suppers. Mark, thanks for the well wishes and champagne for our Uncle Ken’s 100th birthday held in the cottage dining room. My wife and her 2 sisters baked chicken, asparagus, and new potatoes in the complete kitchen facilities. Eight of us thoroughly enjoyed the day. We highly recommend Easterleigh Cottage.

Great weekend away with friends. Cottage was perfect. Location for exploring the Cotswolds ideal. Lovely pub with great food 2 minutes walk away.

Perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds set in a quiet pretty village. Excellent pub within walking distance. Cottage ideal for families or groups of friends. Very comfortable beds with soft duvets and pillows. All the equipment you'd need with the exception of means with which to light the fire (kindling, firelighters, matches). Only downside is if there is more than four of you in the party you won't all get a comfy sofa/chair to sit on!

We enjoyed our time at Easterleigh Cottage (despite some mixed weather!). The location made a great base from which to explore the area and it was very peaceful. There are no shops in the village but Stow-on-the-Wold is only a few miles away. The cottage was cosy and provided all our needs. The bedroom accommodation worked well for us especially having a downstairs bedroom which gave us the opportunity to use it for one of the babies so they did not disturb one another. Our taller members of the family soon learned to ‘duck’ under the doors! Mark was a very attentive owner and answered any questions promptly.

Lovely house but lacking attention to detail - little things like no spare toilet rolls (we ran out the morning we left)or kitchen rolls, 6 coasters for a 7 person house, cobwebs in the lounge and dining room, no lock on the downstairs toilet , only 1 tea towel stopped this being better than average.

Was struggling to find an option at short notice but was very happy with this place. Well located on scenic road. Plenty of options within a short drive. Nice walks during the day. Well furnished internally. We had a great weekend. The only thing I would change is to please make the check out time later.

Absolutely love the house which is a historical home. It is very comfortable and rustic. I travelled with 3 elderly aunties and 2 cousins. There was a bedroom below so my aunts with weak knees slept down there. The staircase is a bit steep for them. The place was clean and extremely well-kept. There was a small nest of insects but it was summer and in the country so you would expect something like that. However the house had everything you would expect in a home. There was also common items like sugar, salt, oil and other stuff like insect spray etc. Furnishings were lovely. There was a fireplace and some logs but it was summer so we didn't use it. The dining area had a glass roof to catch the sun and it was great. Pity the doors couldn't open into the small garden courtyard. The place is quiet and we didn't see many tourists though the pub house must be full of tourists rather than locals. The owner was very responsive and had all the details, maps etc ready. He had an agent whom we contacted nearer the time to our stay to receive the code to a small box which held the key to the place. Wifi was good and strong but the method of connection was by entering a code - however all details can be found in a folder which the owner has left. Note that check-out is at 10am which may be a bit too early for some people. Check-in is 3-4pm. There is a nearby pub house - The Lamb which served excellent food but you had to wait up to 45 minutes though. (it was full when we came)

Gorgeous cottage, gorgeous location, perfect weekend for our family to get together! Warm, comfortable, decent size (there was 7 of us- all adults) and still with a super cottagey feel. Would 100% book with marksplaces.com again they were fab, thanks!

A very charming well appointed 4 bedroom cottage. We were a party of 3 couples . The place is a nice size for such a group and very well equipped . Three bathrooms and loos one of which is a shower room on ground floor which has a twin room where beds can be pushed together. Very nice garden if weather good. Would say that downstairs shower room loo is an issue it is impossible to sit square " on the throne " without burning ones knees on the towel rail. We have been told that this room will be shortly revamped to resolve this issue. this is our only complaint We all agreed that we would like to return .soon. Village is well located and some smashing walks from cottage but no facilities in village apart from the pub. and a phone box. No mobile reception at all at cottage and more than limited outside.Cottage has land line so essential t calls. can be made.Not unreasonable house guide book asks for use to be minimal or calls will be charged .Wi fi is good strength though. Lamb pub in village highly recommended Car essential at least for longer stays .Local taxis limited and not cheap

A wonderful cottage. Four of us had a bedroom each, there were two bathrooms / toilets and an additional shower room with toilet on the ground floor. This was very important to us as one of our friends only has one leg and this meant he had no stairs to climb. He had a downstairs bedroom and his own washroom facilities. Ample space in the kitchen which was fully equipped with everything you would need to stay and a large kitchen table. Large fridge / freezer. A lovely lounge which then led to another room with table and chairs. The best part for me was I originally spoke to Mark about the booking and explained we had a disabled person with us. Everything he said about the cottage and as listed on his website is true. No nasty surprises. Another added bonus was the Lamb pub some 5 minutes walk away. Lovely beer, food and staff. All in all a wonderful time in Great Rissington and would have no hesitation in recommending and we will be returning.
