Description from owner
Description
Byeways is a beautiful thatched cottage built circa 1650 located in the Cotswold village of Long Compton.
The village of Long Compton, which gets it's name for the length of the village extending along the old road joining Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon, is considered to be the gateway to the Cotswolds. It is steeped in history, with links to early kings, St. Augustine and Shakespeare, and it is rife with myths and legends. The Rollright Stone circle is a walk away and the church's lych gate is a photographer's dream with the popular Red Lion pub offering an excellent menu and superb ales.
The cottage sleeps 6 (1 Super king on the ground floor, king on the first floor and a room with two singles). There is also a travel cot available. She is equipped with a range cooker, so we have left you Mary Berry's Aga Book to give you some ideas. Children will love the country garden, when you decide to relax and take a break from all the sight seeing.

“Soggy!”
We had a fab, fun weekend in this lovely thatched cottage, once we got to grips with the aga and the heating! Have to say I will never buy one but it was just about manageable for 2 dinners and a cooked breakfast. The pots and pans were a bit minimal too.... The back garden could do with lighting as it was very dark trying to unload the car.It might be an idea to mention you need a torch especially as its quite a walk from the drive to the house. The living room and upstairs rooms were lovely and cosy. Its a shame our bedroom downstairs was so damp smelling, its unfortunate it rained so much as I'm sure its lovely in summer and not a problem.... Apart from these grumbles, it was the perfect place to catch up with old friends. I would recommend it in summer!

Response from the owner I'm sorry you found the cottage not to your liking at this time of year and that you battled with the range cooker. Did you not find the timer in the cupboard alongside that you can Boost the cooker, water and heating as you need? I looked at the bottom room to check for damp, and with the heating running is was warm and comfy. I know that Koia carpet has a slightly odd smell from the rubber base? I will keep an eye out for damp in this room in the future. Yes me mentioning the need to bring a torch if arriving in the dark is a good idea, I thought I had in the welcome pack I emailed? I'll make sure it is going forward.

“Excellent house”
Really lovely house that was perfect for our getaway. Arrival was very easy. I would advise arriving when light as the driveway would be difficult to find in the dark. All round it was perfect for our stay!!

“Lovely holiday cottage”
Had a fantastic time is this beautiful holiday cottage, with all the family. The beds were comfortable and we were all able to have decent sleep every night. The aga took a little getting used to however was fine to use. Plenty of space in the living room for all of us to relax at night time, we had a 2 year old who enjoyed all the films and games. Garden was lovely, unfortunately didn't always have the weather to enjoy it fully, looking to return in the summer months. The village was a perfect base to be able to explore and go off to difffenrt places around the Cotswolds. We even enjoyed a walk to Wichford woods with stunning views. Only one small niggle, was that we felt a little rushed out on day of departure, as the cleaning company turned up at 10am however we didn't have to leave until 11am so quickly had to pack up the cars, however did not ruin our experience. Just a perfect get away for a family of different ages and our dogs. Thank you very much, hoping to book up again soon

Response from the owner So sorry to hear the cleaning company arrived early, you should have chased them away as they have clear instructions only to arrive after 11am. Please to come back again and I will make up the hour you lost on your return. Kind regards Melody

“Perfect cottage”
Lovely cottage, perfect decor, fully equipped, wonderful garden. Only downside is it is on a main road which is on a bend so a bit scary when coming out with dogs. I would highly recommend this cottage and we will be returning soon.

Response from the owner Thanks Sheldon, The road has been there for a very long time; I have seen a photograph of the same junction back when there were only horse and carts. I agree the front door is close to the road and as a result we generally cross over from the driveway that way you can see and hear any cars approaching. We look forward to having you stay again.
