Hurdlemaker’s Loft

Hurdlemakers Loft was great, we had a lovely quiet time in spite of the awful weather! We found the bedroom rather too light at night for our liking, but otherwise everything was perfect.

Lovely loft conversion with everything we needed. Had to be bit careful of sloping ceilings in bedroom and a shame the nearest pub was closed but there is another one not far away. The weather was very kind to us with no rain, just a bit misty on one day, and there is a very convenient public footpath from the garden.

Would definitely recommend and hope to return ourselves one day as so much more to explore. Really comfortable, cosy accommodation and lovely hosts.

This is a well considered little flat with balcony doors that open up to a lovely view of allotments on the left and a hill/fields straight forward. Keeping the doors open was like having an extra room. Really lovely owners (onsite) and the accommodations had everything we needed and more. Arrived to a lovely welcome package of fresh bread, local honey, butter, milk and a couple of bottles of beer. Enough tea, coffee and sugar to negate the need to get to the shops upon arrival. Pub nearby (walking distance) and local bakers/butchers/newsagents 10 min walk away. Co-op and restaurants 5 mins away in a car. Lovely bedding and towels. Convenient for Stratford upon Avon, Upton House, Blenheim Palace, Stow on the Wold, Bourton on Water, Oxford, Chipping Camden and many more places if you have a car. We wouldn't hesitate to go again if in the area.

Stayed several times and fabulous on each occasion. Lovely place, beautiful walking nearby and central for exploring the Cotswolds. Broadway, Bourton on the Water, Moreton in the Marsh, Stratford upon Avon, to name but a few, as well many NT houses/gardens in the area. Highly recommended

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.
