Cotswolds Escape - Learoyds Cottage

My husband and I love taking long walks through the English countryside and exploring the picturesque villages of the Cotswolds. Learoys has turned out to be the perfect base for visiting all the beautiful sights in the area. The little cottage has all the details that make you feel right at home. I've especially enjoyed the lovely garden, which is perfect for relaxing and reading. Gretchen has been incredibly helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed and that we were comfortable during our stay.

We’ve had a wonderful stay at Learoyds Cottage. It’s been decorated and furnished so beautifully; it felt like home as soon as we arrived. Southrop is a perfect Cotswold village situated within easy reach of numerous restaurants. We enjoyed some fabulous meals in the village pub and Thyme restaurant, both a short walk away. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, we walked for miles and when we got ‘home’ we enjoyed relaxing in the gardens which have been landscaped and are beautifully kept. Learoyds Cottage has a special atmosphere and we’ll certainly be returning.

We had a wonderful stay at Learoyds with our two children. The adornment is just in tune with the Cotswolds, the garden is exquisite and Gretchen makes sure that everything you need in and outside the house is at hand ! We recommend highly a stay in this haven. Perfect for a quiet retreat not far from Oxford and Blenheim palace.

Gretchen was very helpful with all our needs. The cottage was everything we hoped for and more . Beautifully decorated and the garden was such a tranquil and stunning place to relax in after a day of touring.The village was picture perfect to wander around

I truly can't fault Gretchen or her beautiful home. It was spotless and Gretchen was an absolute delight to deal with. Provided lots of lovely recommendations for the area and the house was incredibly homely, welcoming and easy. Never felt more relaxed in someone else's home and was the perfect retreat.

It was such bliss to switch off from our London lives and have a taste of idyllic Southrop. We will absolutely be looking to return as we all felt completely recharged and my sons loved the local fishing lakes. We’ll definitely be in touch soon to book again and will strongly recommend to all of our friends.

If you are looking to get away and relax, this charming cottage is the perfect bolthole. Gretchen, the owner has considered every detail. Cosy up and admire the vintage interiors within, but do venture out - the garden is one to be admired by all.
