Fantastic accommodation in beautiful Cotswold countryside. 14 of us stayed, age range 4 to 77 and all of us loved it. The kids loved the games room and visiting the alpacas, donkeys & goat. Plus there’s a lovely pub only half-hour walk away.
Just return from a weekend in the safari tents. The little touches added makes it homely and everything has been thought of, the cleanliness of the tents is high standard. The green area in front of the tents is great and was well used despite the rain!!!
Our 3-year-old settled in straight away and was so relaxed and content. It was idyllic and beautiful. The pod was amazing and was just right for what we needed. The grounds and village were breath-taking and welcoming.
We had a wonderful time. The pods were perfectly appointed and it was wonderful to have lots of open space for the kids to play in. We all made very good use of the games room and have come home with Table Football superstars.
Had an amazing two nights here with my hubby and two boys in the Safari Tents. Beautiful grounds and everything we needed. The shower blocks were clean and the boys loved the games room and play area.
Lovely big property. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms and there is plenty of storage space. Great location with some lovely walks in the area.
We had 2 amazing nights here in a pod. The pod was warm and cozy, our children loved the games room and we all enjoyed a campfire each evening. Wish we had booked a longer stay, we will book again soon!
Lovely grounds. The pods were amazing. Really comfortable, even with the four us (me, my wife and 2 kids). The games room was well equipped and the staff were really nice. Bourton on the Water is a quaint town to visit.
We had a lovely weekend at Notgrove, staying in Wainway, two adjoining cottages. We all enjoyed ourselves celebrating a family 80th birthday with age ranges from 9 to 80 and a dog. The accommodation was great – well equipped and comfortable.

Notgrove Holidays – your perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds
Here in an area bounded by Bath, Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon you’ll find some of the finest landscapes in England. Cotswold towns and villages such as Burford, Bibury and Bourton-on-the-Water are world famous and remain largely unchanged since their creation in medieval England centuries ago. This was when the wealth of the wool trade left its mark in the high quality stone buildings for which the area is renowned.
Notgrove itself lies in the heart of the Cotswolds, only 4 miles from Northleach, famed for its magnificent church of St Peter and St Paul which is claimed to be the “Cathedral of the Cotswolds”. Nearby, the River Windrush flows through the centre of Bourton-on-the-Water, creating a very picturesque village scene.
At nearly 800ft, Stow-on-the-Wold is the highest of the Cotswold towns and is famous as a centre for antiques. The Roman Fosse Way from Cirencester to Leicester passes through it and it probably dates from a prehistoric fortified settlement on top of the hill.
Should you decide to stay for a few days in one of our holiday cottages you will find plenty of places to visit and sites to see in these market towns, quiet villages and hamlets. If you would like to book a cottage please click here
