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. ##### Anne V. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Toby G. Mar 15, 2024 #### 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. ##### Toby G. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good Apr 17, 2024 #### 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.

May 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a946324e-4213-47f7-b031-853768b94b64-1748005678588.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b292602b-fc7e-46c8-b306-afd2507dfb5c-1748005678738.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Doug H. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent Feb 6, 2024 #### January 2023 We got lucky with the weather in January, but a lovely cottage for 2 people in a fantastic location. The owner even went above and beyond in helping us get back some of our belongings we'd accidently left behind. Great stay! From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent Apr 25, 2024 #### it was a wonderful stay in tfe cottage and Rachel ,it s a really friendly and helpfull person. see up.I m sure i will come back. The onlyone is; the keybox is so deep by the ground and it can be difficult to use this. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda Jessopp Sep 22, 2023 #### 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. ##### Linda Jessopp
