A lovely stay

The cottage was very warm and cosy in the chilly weather. Spotlessly clean and comfortably furnished, it provided the perfect base to explore the Cotswolds. We shall definitely return.

Lovely cottage

First of all a little thank you to the owner for leaving a lovely welcoming pack very nice touch the cottage is in a lovely little town close to Bolurton on the water 20 minute walk Don't have a car parking space which was no trouble you can unload outside and park. The car. Literally a two minute walk. Little coffee stall, basically at your front door a local pub. Restaurant 3min walk can't fault anything

Lotties holiday

Small, character cottage, beautifully furnished with imaginative decor. Outdoor seating for two and enclosed small garden for Lottie our Labrador. Centrally positioned in this beautiful Cotswold village but no parking outside. Excellent walks on the doorstep and the Slaughters Inn within easy walking distance. Lovely welcome pack waiting for us on arrival and Rachel, the owner, was very helpful and reachable. We had a very comfortable and stress free stay.

Wonderful retreat

The cottage is just perfect.we have had a wonderful stay at thimble cottage. The cleanliness comfort and attention to detail was excellent. We loved the food essentials left for us and the small details, like very good quality bed and bedding. Only one thing we would like to draw attention to is the shower. To get any water pressure it had to be on full and was then scalding hot. Otherwsise perfect stay.

A picture-perfect, cosy retreat in an idyllic location

We could not have asked for anything more from our stay at Thimble Cottage. Set in the peaceful and picturesque Cotswolds village of Lower Slaughter with countryside walks right on the doorstep, this adorable property was the perfect retreat for a couple with their dog. Full of charm and character, the cottage was a delight to return to after a day's exploration of the local area. Spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped, our every need was catered for and we felt very comfortable and relaxed during our stay. From the luxurious bath and spacious bedroom to the log burner, underfloor heating and the pretty garden, we loved everything about the cottage. A little peace of heaven to which we hope to return.

Lovely cottage, perfect location, but couldn't use lovely bath

We loved our stay at Thimble cottage, it's a perfect location with lovely local walks. It was very clean and quiet and finished beautifully. But be aware there is no guaranteed parking that comes with the cottage so you need to account for this in your day trip planning. There was literally nowhere to park in the village on a Saturday afternoon due to tourists so we had to stay out for longer. Obviously can't be helped but good to know! The cottage has a lovely rolltop bath and a whole room dedicated to it however the water flow from the taps was SO slow that we didn't have time to use it and had to shower instead. The shower taps come out at least 20cm from the wall, taking up a lot of room and leaving you very little room to move around in the shower. This is made worse by there being nowhere to put your shampoo etc. other than the floor, so you have to keep turning around and bending down - really difficult in the small space and quite frustrating - not relaxing at all. For the price paid this left us quite disappointed with the bathroom facilities as we were expecting to really enjoy the bath and was part of the reason we booked this cottage. The cottage was dog friendly and had a bowl, towel, blanket etc provided which was really sweet. But I would suggest that if dogs aren't allowed upstairs maybe a stairgate would be helpful to install to assist guests with adhering to this rule. Some scales in the kitchen were the only thing we were missing for weighing dog food out.

Wonderful quiet Cotswold England location. A very tiny village of stone homes and a mill, hotel, restaurant and a surprise cute coffee truck at the mill when we went for a chilly morning walk. Its a incredibly relaxing place the cottage wood stove was a wonderful item and the place had everything you could need They even give you cookies/breakfast items/pastries and a bottle of wine. Beds very comfortable with great linen and pillows. Cant beat it.!!

Lovely, quiet, quaint, Cotswold Cottage

The cottage has been renovated nicely, and was well stocked, we arrived to fresh eggs, pastries, milk in the fridge, a bottle of Merlot, and firewood for the fireplace. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. The bed was comfy and the location was great. The picturesque small village is not crowded with tourists, only a few, which is to be expected.

Birthday break

We had a lovely stay at Thimble Cottage so would recommend. The cottage is beautiful and we love Lower Slaughter. There was only one thing that we were confused by - on more than one occasion we were asked to contact the owner before arrival - I tried to do this twice - no answer - went to voice mail and no call back. Was this necessary to do? If yes why weren’t we called back. Other than that a perfect stay. Thank you.
