Half-term holiday stay
The location of the property was perfect to visit other areas of the Cotswolds. The property was quiet and had everything you needed to make it feel like home. The beds were so comfortable and have never slept so well. It was peaceful and relaxing and was lovely to hear the church bells even through the night. The location was ideal to explore and walk around the village and countryside. Would stay here again and highly recommend.

The cutest Cotswold cottage
This cottage was perfect for our stay. The hosts have really kept this property up with modern features and tons of charm. The only thing better than the accommodations was the town. Met the sweetest locals and had our fill of good food and drinks. We will absolutely be coming back to stay!

Perfect place to stay
It was excellent lovely home comfortable beds and had everything you needed.
The only thing I would have liked to have had was a small clothesline outside.
I would recommend the Telephone Exchange and love to stay again if in the UK
Thanks for sharing your lovely holiday house.

I want to live here!
Very central to various places in the Cotswolds but such a joy to return to and to get up in each morning. Everything was there that we needed and I enjoyed the outside space to sit and read a bit and to dry some laundry. So bright and airy, roomy….we just loved Exchange Cottage and would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Lovely few days in Northleach
Property is ideally situated in Northleach, which is a great starting point to explore the cotswolds. Northleach has some great restaurants and pubs. Some lovely walks around northleach as well.
The property is neat and tidy, with plenty of amenities. The bedrooms are spacious with great showers, the outside bits are a bonus when the British summer allows!
Great communication from the owners,
Great little property that is bigger than it looks. Everything you need and a great central location to explore the Cotswolds from.

Perfect little cottage!
Perfectly situated to explore the Cotswolds! The town itself is so nice to walk around and take in the history. The cottage is perfect for a small family. It was a nice touch to have coffee stocked and a supply of books and movies for a cozy night in! The garden is also so sweet and I enjoyed drinking my morning coffee and listening to the church bells. We hope to be back!

Delightful weekend in the Cotswolds
The property was clean and comfortable. It was nicely outfitted and it was great to have the washer and dryer. Plenty of hot water, it is the perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds. Northleach we found to be a delightful village. Stay there, it was great.

Wonderful !
We spent 2 weeks in this lovely cottage . The hosts were wonderful - very helpful, friendly and quick to respond . The cottage was very comfortable and even had its own fenced in garden. It was very quiet and peaceful as well. WiFi was fast and reliable. The town of Northleach is small and very cute , and the location is quite close to many other places in the Cotswolds but without all the tourists! There is a very small grocery store in town and other bigger grocery stores within 10 minutes drive from the cottage. I highly recommend this place! Thanks !

Family get-together
It was just right for the 3 of us. Its situation, within walking distance of shops, pubs, etc. was excellent.
There was lots of dog walks in open countryside......... she loved it!
One minor grouse - the cooker was qite complicated, and the instructions in the welcome pack didn't fit the exact model of cooker.
Otherwise, we loved Exchange cottage, and we loved Northleach........ we'll be back

This was our second stay at this cottage, a home from home, it had everything you needed for a comfortable, happy time away. The village is very beautiful with lots of amenities, spectacular church, and it position in the cotswolds makes it near lots of places of interest to visit.
Lovely place.

Perfect stay with everything we needed and super comfortable beds. Centre of charming village just a short walk to restaurants, grocery shop, the river and a fascinating old church with bells tolling every 3 hours (also through the night).
