Guests that stayed at this property said
The cleanliness of the cottage received mixed reviews. Some guests found it to be very nice, while others noted areas that could benefit from more attention, including the pool area and the presence of dog waste in the grounds. The property was described as 'tired' in places, suggesting a need for a deep clean.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and convenience, with guests enjoying the quaint Cotswold village, local pubs, and shop within walking distance. The area offers nice walks and is central for exploring the wider region.
Guests found the beds comfortable and the property spacious, with a warm and homely feel. However, some noted issues with heating and noise from the boiler, as well as the need for better temperature control in showers.
The facilities, especially the indoor pool, were a highlight for many guests. However, there were comments about the need for updates and maintenance in areas such as the lounge, kitchen, and bathrooms. The presence of a log burner and the pool were frequently appreciated, but suggestions for improvements in maintenance were noted.
The owners were frequently mentioned for their thoughtfulness, welcoming guests with fresh eggs and being on hand for assistance. While gifts like fresh eggs were appreciated, it is important to note that such personal touches, although delightful, may vary and are not guaranteed with every stay.
About this property
Sitting in the heart of Hook Norton village and around the corner from some cracking country pubs, Stone Wheel Cottage is just the perfect and typical Cotswolds' cottage. Hundreds of years old, sitting within the grounds of the owners' substantial period property, this sweet and charming cottage retains all its period charm but with much added comfort and style. Simply furnished and the perfect retreat. The kitchen / diner is comfortable and well furnished, the Living Room spacious and cosy, with a wonderful log-burner, while upstairs are three good sized bedrooms, each smart and simple in presentation with very comfortable beds, and a separate family bathroom. There's a garden outside with loads of room to relax and unwind, and the wow factor being provided by the covered, heated swimming pool available from beginning of April until the end of October. However, with a host of village pubs within walking distance you may prefer to take the fresh air when strolling for lunch or otherwise! This is a blissful retreat where you are convenient for a host of Cotswolds gems. If you're so inclined Daylesford and Soho Farmhouse are nearby, otherwise Chipping Norton is just 7 mins drive away. We love it here and believe you and your pooch will too!
A picturesque village with many honey-coloured historic buildings, thatched cottages, a thriving community and its very own steam driven brewery, the last of its kind in the country. The village boasts a well-stocked shop, Post Office, several pubs and restaurants and many lovely walks can be enjoyed from the village with the D'Arcy Dalton Way passing through the village. The market town of Chipping Norton lies south of the village in the Cotswold Hills, plays host to many festivals throughout the year, has an abundance of shops, cafes and restaurants as well as a theatre and the oldest golf course in Oxfordshire.

We found it to be warm and cosy especially with the log burner . Thank you to the owners for the wood and unexpected extras. We loved exploring the area with the family and we will always have special memories from our stay

Plenty of room for our group of 6 adults and 1 infant and although there is a pool it too was not at its best with a nest of ants under some of the toys at one end. Itâs a shame as, with a bit of attention and some funds spent, it has the potential to be a great holiday destination.
