Nov 4, 2024 #### A wonderful stay at the old rectory We had a fabulous stay at the Old Rectory. The house itself is impressive and plenty of room for a large group. The garden and views are stunning. The location itself was beautiful, with some great walks from the property, a little village shop and pub on the doorstep. The StayCotswolds company was also very professional and communication great. I would highly recommend the property and location to anyone. ##### Becky S.

Jan 13, 2025 #### Picturesque Cotswold family vacation The Old Rectory in Miserden was the perfect place for our large family Christmas/New Year Celebration. Couldn't have pictured a better, more scenic Costwolds stay. The house was beautifully decorated with Christmas lights and trees, everyone had their own rooms for ultimate comfort. Not to mention we were right next to gorgeous walking trails and the cutest pub a 1 min stroll down the street. The lawn in the back was perfect for the kids to kick the ball around and play cricket. All this to say the Property Manager was super responsive to my questions. Would definitely go back and/or recommend to others! ##### Vanessa R. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Jan 23, 2025 #### 70th Birthday Gathering Our stay at Old Rectory exceeded our expectations in all areas. Beautiful property with very spacious living areas and bedrooms easily accommodating 14 people including 4 children and a dog. Although it was freezing outside (middle of January) the inside of the property was warm and comfortable in all rooms. Very comfortable beds and bathrooms equipped with all the essentials. Fabulous big kitchen and dining room again equipped with everything one would need to feed a small crowd. Welcome supplies of coffee, tea, milk etc supplied and much more. We definitely want to come back and experience this property in the summer. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Casino Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Casino-Hotel.0-0-d178245-tCasinoHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Excellence El Carmen - Adults Only All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Excellence-El-Carmen-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h12570728.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Whistler](https://www.expedia.ca/Whistler-Hotels.d4115.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Niagara Falls Convention Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Convention-Centre-Hotels.0-l6221433-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hilton Garden Inn St. John's Newfoundland, Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-St-Johns-Newfoundland.h37352383.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Wasagaming](https://www.expedia.ca/Wasagaming-Hotels.d181809.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Munich (MUC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/muc/vancouver-to-munich) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Paris (CDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cdg/toronto-to-paris) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Rome (FCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/fco/calgary-to-rome) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Montreal.d178288.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [New York Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York.d178293.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) ### General > [Visit Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Canada.dx31)
