Guest Access:

We'll send you all the access details through our booking platform before your arrival, so you can settle in at your own pace. The cottage sits at the end of a peaceful tree-lined drive, so you'll know you've found your quiet escape the moment you arrive.



The Neighborhood:

Dumbleton village is one of those lovely unspoiled Cotswolds villages that feels genuinely authentic - no tourist crowds, just peaceful countryside and friendly locals. The cottage sits on working farmland with public footpaths crisscrossing the area, making it ideal for families who love countryside walks and exploring the rolling Cotswolds landscape on foot. You're welcome to wander the farm's own fields down to the nearby River Isbourne - genuine country views and the gentle sounds of rural life included.



Broadway village is just 6 miles (10 minutes' drive) away - often called the 'capital of the Cotswolds' with its chocolate-box high street, independent shops, galleries, and welcoming pubs perfect for a proper lunch.

The cottage is perfectly positioned for exploring the North Cotswolds, yet peaceful enough that you might find the beauty right here is exactly what you came for. Far enough to feel properly remote, close enough for essentials when you need them.



Getting Around:

The cottage includes ample off-road parking right outside. A car is essential for exploring the Cotswolds - Broadway village is 6 miles away, with Winchcombe (4.5 miles), Tewkesbury (9 miles), and Cheltenham (12 miles) all easily reachable for day trips. The roads around here are quintessentially English - narrow, winding, and absolutely beautiful, especially in spring and summer.



For countryside walks, public footpaths lead directly from the cottage, and you're welcome to wander the farm's own fields down to the River Isbourne. The walking here is gentle and rewarding, with those gorgeous Cotswold Hills views as your backdrop - perfect for families wanting to explore the landscape on foot.



The nearest shop and pub are 3 miles away in Toddington, so it's worth stocking up on essentials during your village visits. But that's all part of the charm - you're genuinely away from it all here, yet perfectly positioned for Cotswolds adventures.



Other Things to Note:

Just a few practical bits to help you settle in smoothly:

The WiFi here is on the slower side - perfect if you're hoping to properly switch off and enjoy the peace, though it'll handle emails and basic browsing just fine.



There is a small step up to the front door, and then a flight of stairs to the first floor and bedrooms, so worth noting if you're travelling with heavy luggage or have mobility considerations.



The cottage sits on a working farm, so you might hear the gentle sounds of rural life - tractors during the day, sheep in the distance, that sort of thing. It's all part of the authentic countryside experience, but thought we'd mention it.



We have a no-smoking and no-pets property at Maple Cottage.
