Hurdlemaker’s Loft

Had a very enjoyable week at this location. Would highly recommend the property, very well maintained, stylishly furnished and very comfortable. Ideally situated and in easy reach of historic towns...... great for walking. Attentive but not intrusive owners that live on site. Special welcoming bundle of goodies a nice touch. Thank you.

The cottage was very neatly laid out with a decent sized bedroom, good shower room and sizeable living room/kitchen with dining table. The balcony outside with table and chairs was great with a nice view of the countryside. An additional table and chairs was available in the garden but we used the balcony table all of the time. It was in a nice village in the middle of the picturesque Cotswolds area and near many nice towns, villages and even Oxford. Definitely would consider using the loft again. Some fluffier towels would be nice though.

Very comfortable, warm and clean accommodation in beautiful countryside. Lots to see and do. You’ll make excellent use of your National Trust membership. Within easy reach of Stratford, Cheltenham, Banbury and Oxford.

A perfect getaway for two, the loft is a compact first floor space with its own raised deck giving an uninterrupted view over the village allotments to the countryside beyond. An open plan kitchen / sitting area with adjoining bathroom and double bedroom were scrupulously clean and comfortable. The owners, who live on the property, are a great source of local knowledge and unfailingly helpful and considerate. They have created a beautiful private garden space for the loft, including a barbecue and dining area. The garden opens through a back gate directly onto the network of waymarked countryside paths beyond. The village has two pubs and an excellent butcher and baker. The nearest supermarket is a short drive away in Shipston. The Cotswolds Distillery, with a good cafe, is in nearby Stourton. Walking and cycling routes abound. An excellent week.

This cottage is in a great location, overlooking the village allotments and the hills beyond. There is a lovely enclosed garden and a balcony with table and chairs to sit in. Shipston on Stour is 5 minutes or so by car and has plenty of shops and places to eat. The village itself has a butchers, newsagent and bakery and one pub in Lower Brailes and one in Upper Brailes - however the pub in Upper Brailes is currently only open on weekends. The cottage is also very handily located for visiting many National Trust properties and open gardens. Thanks also to the lovely owners, Mary Jane and Mark for making feel at home and for the lovely welcome pack.

A wonderful loft conversion, with quality the keynote for construction, fittings and decor. Open outlook across allotments and countryside. Helpful host and a welcome tray of goodies for breakfast etc. The access by the outside stairway is only for the able bodied and would benefit from a handrail on the wall side. Lovely patio garden. Very quiet despite being on a fairly busy B road. Very good location for nearby places of interest, e.g. Stratford, NT sites. Parking on driveway a little bit tight but OK.

We have stayed in many apartments both here and abroad and Hurdlemakers loft rates very high, it was spotless and all our needs were catered for. There are so many places to visit so this was an ideal place to stay.

As I am broad shouldered I found the bed to be too narrow for two people to sleep soundly. Everything else very good.

What a beautiful place this is. Wonderful views, perfectly furnished with everything you would need supplied. Absolutely spotless & the complimentary local supplies left was a nice touch too. Lovely walks just through the back gate with more lovely views. Great base to venture off in the car to the pretty villages nearby. Had a relaxing 4 night stay here & would highly recommend.

Stunning property in a lovely location. Owners are lovely and left a welcome pack for us which consisted of bread, honey, butter, milk, and beer that went down a treat ( thanks mark ). Great location for exploring surrounding areas. Would definitely visit again. Hopefully when things are back to normal. But still a very enjoyable week.
