Fabulous property for a multi-generational family get together
We could not have found a better place for a family get together. The Cosh provides everyone with their own bedroom and bathrooms, and has fantastic entertaining spaces - and we were there in the depths of January - it offers even more for the better weather months with outdoor spaces too.
Couldn’t have asked for a better property. Location and facilities were excellent. Will definitely be returning to this gem in the Cotswolds.

Wonderful venue for a weekend away
We had a wonderful long weekend at the Cosh. As a group of university friends - now all in our 60s - it had everything you could possibly need - lots of space and different places to sit and catch up with friends. Dog friendly, and great location for exploring the Cotswolds. Would definitely recommend - we voted it the best place we have stayed in so far on our annual meet-up.

Perfect place for a get together
Seven of us used The Cosh for 5 nights for a reunion and celebration of our 70th birthdays. It was very comfortable with lots of places to sit and chat both inside and out. The beds were comfortable and whole the place was well equipped.with everything that we needed. Blockley is a pretty village with a lovely community cafe which we used on our final day.

Fabulous house for family stays
A bright warm well equipped house perfect for large family groups where everyone got space and a bathroom. Easy living and very sociable experience. Good location. Owners were very helpful and showed us their resident horses and sheep which the children loved. Great birthday weekend.

Fantastic stay
A wonderful 4 day stay for our family from 2 year olds to 88 year old. Very large and beautifully appointed this accomodation gave the WOW factor. The kitchen had everything you need had beautiful appliances and loads of room for food prep. The multiple cosy seating areas meant we never felt crowded or ontop of one another We really enjoyed the outdoor seating and the table tennis table and thd children loved the sheep and the horses. We couldn't have asked for more and will definitely be back
A very comfortable place to stay, with 6 good-sized bedrooms and lots of well-splaced sitting areas. The Welcome Cake was delicious and we were very grateful for the eggs and milk - all above and beyond our expectations. The 4 hens were an added delight! Can thoroughly recommend it. An issue with a Roman blind was addressed very quickly but needs a little more attention.

The Cosh Nov 2024
We had a great time in the Cosh. The area was peaceful and lovely location with the horses out in the paddock.
The barn itself was beautiful and spacious, the only downside was it is quite open and so a bit echoing but nothing that would put us off staying again. The local pub in the village was fantastic with very friendly and helpful staff.
A very enjoyable long weekend

Don't hesitate, The Cosh is huge and luxurious.
The Cosh has been our most favourite property we have stayed in to date as a group of female friends. We could not fault it or StayCotswols for their organisation.
We stayed in January and the Cosh was comfortably warm in every room from arrival and throughout the whole stay. It is so beautifully furnished and sumptuous. Bedrooms, bedding, showers all luxurious. Top of the range appliances and loads of every type of glass. It's huge. We used all 3 seating areas from the upstairs lounge for afternoon tea, downstairs kitchen area by moving in more comfy chairs to sit and have snacks and evening drinks and the TV area for some of us who had to watch Traitors!! The dining table has so much room for all your dishes. We loved being 'at home' and chose to eat every meal in.
We went directly from The Cosh for a walk through fields to the lovely village of Blockley on one of our days and had coffee outside the cafe. We also visited Broadway. There is so much to do locally that you're spoilt for choice.
It's very peaceful and we all thoroughly enjoyed staying in The Cosh. Would suit friends or families.

Family get together
Great long weekend at the Cosh. Well thought out and executed accommodation with huge amount of space for our six grandchildren to play and make as much noise as they wanted. Children apart this is a lovely quiet location with a small babbling brook to the rear. A relatively short walk into Blockley and close to Moreton in Marsh and other quaint Cotswold villages.The children particularly enjoyed seeing the horses and feeding the sheep.
A memorable weekend in a high quality property that was in an ideal location for our group, would happily book again.

Fabulous property for a large group
Lovely property in a stunning location. The owners were on hand to answer any questions we had and made our weekend letting us come and help feed Barry the sheep and his friends!! The property is stunning, loads of space for a large group, thoughtfully decorated bedrooms and a spacious kitchen area. Wonderfully peaceful and only a short walk into town’s. Kitchen was missing a couple of utensils (tin opener and a whisk) and would benefit from some details about walks from the property and local attractions but the owners were around tending to their horses and were happy to provide any information needed. We will be back.

90th Birthday celebration
We booked the Cosh to celebrate my Dad’s 90th birthday. There were 12 of us so the accommodation was perfect having 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. The Cosh itself is amazing situated on a working farm but within close proximity to lots of the well known Cotswolds villages. It’s very spacious with lots of seating area’s dotted all around, so you could spread out or gather all together. There is a pool table and ping pong table to entertain those who can't sit still. The outside space is also a lovely area to enjoy the sunshine and chill. We were lucky to have beautiful weather when we stayed there. I can't recommend this place enough if you are a large group who just want to get together and make some wonderful memories as we did as a family. The walk into Blockley where there are 2 pubs and an Artisan cafe was too far for my parents to walk but it is doable. We found it easier to drive. I would definitely stay there again.

Fabulous stay and perfect for our family reunion
We stayed for a weekend at the Cosh to celebrate a family birthday. It was the first time we had all been together in six years. The space is beautifully designed and we found that so many of the details had been carefully thought through. Little touches such as dishwasher tablets, ample cutlery and kitchen ware along with the book shelf and games upstairs just made it feel like a home from home.
It was also lovely to enjoy the variety of spaces with the two balconies and different seating areas we could break off into small groups for chats, watching TV or playing games.
There are lovely neighbouring villages and being in the peaceful countryside was just idilic.
Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful space that was fully enjoyed by our whole family.

Great stay
We had a wonderful stay and overall the cottage was lovely and nicely decorated. My main feedback is that we were not impressed with the cleanliness as dishes were dirty as was the kettle. There was also a lot of dust and cobwebs so the cleanliness let this cottage down.

Great week had with family of all ages celebrating a 40th wedding anniversary. The Cosh is just amazing, a comfortable, spacious, home from home. Our grandchildren, aged 5 and 4 loved the open space inside and out. Would love to return one day.
