At the location of the property there is a floral home and gift shop, teaming with flowers and beautiful gifts, the shop is completely separate to the rest of the premises however the high street door opens into a shared corridor (separate to the shop) and then at the end of this corridor that is where the Wind in the Willows accommodation begins.

On opening the door to the Willows, you will be greeted by the sitting room area with two large sofa's and a love seat, a coffee table that becomes a desk in which the puzzles and games are housed, a kitchen overlooking the garden which has an extendable dining table, the stairs then lead to up to your bedrooms.

Access to the garden is from the Willows front door and then directly out into the courtyard.

Your keys to the property are in a large lock box with green writing marked "WITW" which is on the high street underneath a black Victorian Lamp which is beside the shop and the door is a sage green with a fox door knocker

Loved the Wind in the willows, great location downtown and comfortable accommodation.

What a lovely place to stay! Wind in The Willows was the perfect cottage for the six of us. It was charming, tastefully decorated, beautifully clean and tidy, and incredibly well equipped with everything we needed for our three night stay. The bedrooms were lovely, beautifully decorated with extremely comfortable beds, and the linen and towels were luxurious. The bathrooms were equally impressive modern, spacious and well presented. The location was fantastic, and the cottage was easy to find. The free parking on the high street was an added bonus. There were plenty of lovely places to eat and drink within easy walking distance. We had a fabulous meal at the Italian restaurant Bellini’s, just a few steps from the cottage and breakfasts at Rixy’s, only a short walk away, were delicious. Rowan our host was incredibly helpful, welcoming and attentive. We had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend The Wind in The Willows and would absolutely love to return!

Highly recommend this gem of a place to stay in a lovely area of the Cotswolds. The place was amazing. So clean and pretty. It was incredibly stocked too, which made cooking in the evenings really easy. The showers are great, the linen is good quality, the glassware..they have thought of everything. The courtyard to sit and have drink in is really pretty too.
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Our stay at The Willows was great! It was easy to find and we had no trouble parking on the High street and often found parking right out front. The house was clean and a good size for a girls trip with my mom and sisters. We spent time at the market and walking around Moreton in Marsh and our favorite local restaurant was the pub at The Redesdale - get the meat pie, it was delicious! The location was convenient for driving to other towns as well. A few tips for the Cotswolds - make a reservation for dinner, even during the week; and watch your head, the ceilings are low!

C’était merveilleux de séjourner à Wind in the Willows !
C’est vraiment un logement unique avec une décoration incroyable. L’agencement de chaque pièce a été très bien pensé, et nous n’avons manqué de rien, il y avait tous les
produits nécessaires. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la qualité de la literie, et le calme à l’intérieur de la maison. Nous avons adoré retrouver tous les détails du livre un peu partout et nous nous sommes sentis très bien dans ce lieu magique et confortable.
C’était facile de visiter les Cotswolds ou d’aller à Oxford avec le bus et le train à proximité.
Merci beaucoup Rowan et Ines pour votre accueil chaleureux et votre gentillesse.

The home was incredible. The absolute perfect location in cotswolds to be central for transit to other nearby towns like Stow or Bourton. Tons of local options like restaurants and pubs right outside your door, and grocery access just up the street. Also super cute decoration of the place and lovely garden/patio!

Always quick to respond if we had any queries. Highly recommend and would love to come again.

I can’t say enough good things about this stay. The cottage was quaint and exactly what we were looking for when booking. The 2.5 restrooms offered plenty of privacy for our group. The location was ideal for exploring the Cotswolds as well as offering many conveniences within the neighborhood. The host seems to have thought of everything; there were so many extras provided, like tea bags, creamer, and sugar. There was a refrigerator on each floor, which helped keep drinks cool while sleeping upstairs. It felt like staying with a close friend. The washer/dryer and dishwasher were such a help. The garden was picture perfect. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

4.0/5

We enjoyed our stay but we were only 3 . It would have been a bit cramped in the living space with 6 staying.
The beds were really comfortable and it was cosy.
Outdoor space was a bit overlooked and one person found the road noise at the front a bit disturbing .
However a great location and close to nice restaurants. Parking was easy.

Wind in the willows stole my heart, perfect & centrally located on the high street, just mins walk to everything! Adjacent to the train station and local grocery the Co-op its just so convenient after a long travel day or tour. Have to stop in Otis & belle bakery across the street, delicious paninis & pastries!
Lovely place & hosts for my first visit to the Cotswolds I cannot wait to return thank you again 🫶🏼

Nous sommes venus visiter les Cotslows pendant 3 jours en famille. Nous étions 6 et nous avons tous adoré le logement de Rowan et Inès. Ma maman à adoré la décoration "digne d'une maison de poupée anglaise". Chaque détail est pensé et tout est adorable. Le jardin est très agréable quand il fait beau nous avons pu y prendre le Petit-déjeuner. Tout été propre et parfaitement conforme aux photos.

La région est très belle, digne des cartes postales. Nous avons suivi les recommandations des hôtes au niveau des restaurants et nous n'avons pas été déçu.

Rowan et Inès sont réactifs, arrangeants et très agréables.

Cerise sur le Gâteau nous avons aussi eue de petites attentions bouquet de fleur et une petite bouteille de limonade.

Toute la famille recommande donc l'expérience à 100%| !!!

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage in the heart of Moreton-in-Marsh. The three of us were enjoying a girls’ weekend in the Cotswolds, and we couldn’t have chosen a more perfect place to stay.
The cottage is full of character and charm, with a wonderfully cosy yet refined feel.
The location is exceptional, allowing us to stroll to the village’s fantastic selection of bars, restaurants, cafés, and independent shops with ease.
The hosts were fantastic throughout our stay. Their excellent communication made everything effortless from start to finish.

Even in the midst of the heatwave the house was really airy and cool. The fans in the room were a pwrfect touch.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a stylish base from which to discover the Cotswolds. we had such an awesome time and would love to return!
