Guests say
Guests generally find the cottage in Cirencester comfortable, well-equipped, and in a good location for exploring the Cotswolds. The property is appreciated for its cosiness, underfloor heating, and the quiet village setting. Families enjoy the abundance of toys and local attractions, while the presence of friendly neighbours adds to the homely feel.
The cottage's cleanliness is mostly satisfactory, though some guests noted areas needing improvement, such as kitchen utensils feeling grimy, an unwashed mug, and a bathroom floor that wasn't spotless. These instances suggest occasional oversights rather than a persistent issue.
The location is highly praised for its quiet village charm and proximity to local attractions and eateries. While some guests felt slightly isolated due to the distance from shops and pubs, the overall sentiment is that the location is great for exploring and enjoying the Cotswolds.
Comfort is a strong point for the cottage, with guests finding the beds incredibly comfortable and the underfloor heating welcome. However, some mentioned that the light through the roof window in the main bedroom could be an issue, slightly affecting the comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being well-equipped for both young families and couples. However, there are mentions of maintenance needs, such as attention to the dishwasher, en suite shower, and a leaky skylight, which slightly lower the score.
While guests mention a lack of a complimentary welcome pack, there is not enough information to assess the overall thoughtfulness of the host in terms of gifts or special touches. Therefore, this score is set to null.
About this property
3 Painter's Field is a lovely, recently built cottage (part of a small development of about 10 houses) located in the idyllic village of Quenington, mid way between Burford and Cirencester. One of 3 adjoining villages (the others being Hatherop and Coln St Aldwyn), you really could be stepping back hundreds of years as you meander along the leafy lanes connecting the villages.
The cottage possesses many classic and attractive features making it a delightful choice for a Cotswold holiday. Comprising of 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the property offers all mod cons that today's discerning traveler demands. The cottage has a lovely, private garden, just perfect for outdoor dining.
As well as the adjoining villages, you also have many of the The Cotswolds 'hot spots' in close proximity; the beautiful village of Bibury lies just a couple of miles away, with the famous Arlington Row. Cirencester, the 'capital' of the Cotswolds lies just 8 miles to the west, and the gorgeous town of Burford just 10 miles to the north.
This is a nice standard holiday cottage in a very attractive village, in a beautiful and relatively unknown corner of The Cotswolds.
The place-name 'Quenington' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Qvenintone. This is from the Old English 'Cwenenatun' meaning 'the women's town or settlement' (the word 'queen' has the same derivation).
It had previously been suggested that the name Quenington could have meant "settlement on the Coln", the river which flows through the village, though the name 'Coln' is of unknown origin.Quenington is mentioned in the Domesday Book in relation to two mills at either end of the village, a water mill and a fulling mill, both now private residences.
The village offers a thriving 'local' pub, located just off the village green - intent on maintaining its status as a proper pub, rather than a fine dining establishment, which are so prevail ant in the area.

The highchair and some crockery needed cleaning before use, there was no laundry detergent which was mentioned in the handbook as being provided, and the bedroom skylight and radiator needs some maintenance as the skylight was leaking water slightly and the radiator valve was very noisy when on any setting other than 0 or 5. Apart from those things the house was very cute and had everything else we needed for our first holiday away with a baby.

The cottage and its surroundings are beautiful. The house is fully equipped. Certainly the kitchen is well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed the Cotswolds!
