2 Bedroom Cottage in Dorsington

The Old Post Office is a quirky, Grade 2 listed, thatched cottage, dating back to the late Sixteenth Century when it was originally two tiny cottages. It was converted into one property and became the original village Post Office in 1903. The cottage has been tastefully modernised whilst retaining its many original features.
Dorsington is a tranquil village with plenty of historic buildings and the cottage is a short walk to The wonderful Dorsington Arboretum. The village is just 7 miles to Stratford Upon Avon and less than 5 miles to the northern boundary of the Cotswold District.
The Cottage has private, off road parking for 2 vehicles. There is a sizeable out-building which houses the hot tub and laundry room. There is ample, lockable storage space for bikes etc. There is a lawned garden to the rear of the property with a patio dining area , and a bbq. There is an outdoor hose for washing down muddy boots and paws.
Downstairs we have a w/c, a modern but traditionally styled kitchen with an adjoining pantry. There are separate living and dining areas each with a wood burning stove for those chilly nights.
Upstairs there are 2 spacious bedrooms with comfortable King Sized beds and a full modern bathroom with an over-bath shower.
Guests should be aware that the property features low ceiling beams, particularly in the living room and the first floor windows are very low to the ground.
Please note that due to the timber structure and thatched roof, smoking is strictly prohibited in and around the property. Candles are not permitted but battery powered candles will be provided for you.

Summary: My wife had her heart set on staying in a thatched-roof cottage during our recent trip to England. She said that this cottage was "perfect", exactly what she had hoped for. We used the cottage as a headquarters for our week in the Cotswolds, leaving each day mid-morning and returning at dusk. We enjoyed a nice walk around Dorsington in the morning time, before we headed out to explore during the day. We had an excellent dinner at the Bell Inn, recommended by the cottage owner, Jo.

Summary: Lovely little cottage in a lovely village and lovely part of England. Everything was as we expected plus a handy welcome pack. Make sure you keep your head down and watch the low ceiling - 4 bumps on day 1. Easy to get to many of the usual tourist's spots plus some great local pubs and eateries. Our only niggle was the heating as we struggled getting the lounge warm . The radiator only got tepid and we struggled getting the log burner to be consistently hot enough to compensate.

Summary: The cottage is lovely and the hot tub is a bonus. Unfortunately our stay was cut short as the smoke alarms went off at 3.00 in the morning, for no discernible reason, and we were not able to contact the owners at that time of night (!) so decided to pack up and leave. We did, of course, contact them as early as possible and they were going to investigate immediately for any problem. So instead of three nights we only had one and a half. The cottage is well equipped and very cosy (low beams in the downstairs rooms). It's in a very rural and peaceful spot, although only a few miles away from Stratford upon Avon and its many attractions.

Summary: Wow...totally blown away by this cottage. It is so beautiful, clean, and immaculate. The host was great and even left us a few food item to get us started. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in and all the finishing touches made the stay that more comfortable. There is a great range of utensils in the kitchen, and a vast array of dvds. We stayed over new year with our whippets, who thoroughly enjoyed the walks. There is a lovely dog friendly pub about 2 miles away, which we walked to via the country lanes. It was lovely to come back from a walk to a nice cosy fire, and a relax in the hot tub. This trip was all we wanted and more, we can't wait to book again.

Summary: Our stay here was fantastic. The quiet location was perfect with plenty of walks directly from the village for us and the dog. There was plenty of information provided on local pubs and eateries as well as walks. We were even invited to the Village Platinum Jubilee celebrations by the neighbours which was a lovely touch. Thanks Jo & Adam for a perfect getaway.

Summary: We had a fantastic stay at this stunning thatched cottage. We arrived to a warm, lit house with music playing. They paid attention to all the little details like seperate towels for the hot tub, a lovely welcome basket and even poo bags! We would highly recommend a stay here. It was a beautiful place to relax in.
