From the owner

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.

    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.
