Absolutely stunning cosy cottage and exactly what we were looking for - a romantic getaway! The area and surroundings are beautiful and picturesque. The cottage itself was very well equipped with everything we needed, perfect little kitchen which we were able to make all our meals in. The log fire was such a great addition for the cosy evenings! We would highly recommend this lovely property! Only comment would be the bath takes a long time to fill so make sure you leave the time for that ☺️
My wife and I stayed here as part of our honeymoon and LOVED IT. It was our favourite part of the trip. Super local to the majority of the Cotswold area too and travelling around was simple and easy with our car. It was also incredible quiet and private. Highly recommend!
Absolutely had a lovely time at Thimble Cottage! Lower Slaughter is an absolutely beautiful town to stay in, tucked away and quiet from the hustle and bustle of some of the other Cotswolds, while also being so close by to the incredibly charming Bourton-On-The-Water and Stow-On-The-Wold! So many incredible walks to do in the surrounding area and thimble was an incredible place to spend the night and wake up to in the morning. Such peaceful nights sleep and such delish breakfasts in the morning. If you’re looking to stay in the Cotswolds, Thimble is an excellent option!
