Our story

Joe and Gemma

We didn't set out to become hosts. We fell in love with Bibury, came back again and again, and eventually made our home here in the village.

Riverside Cottage was first. A Grade II listed house on the banks of the River Coln, with a roll-top bath under the eaves and swans drifting past the window. We wanted to share it, so we did, and plenty of happy guests later, it turned out other people loved it as much as we do.

Rosemary Cottage came next, beside the village green and St Mary's Church. Then Green Hideaway, the quiet one, set on The Green with an open fire and the kind of peace that makes you forget to check your phone.

All three cottages are in Bibury, all within walking distance of Arlington Row, and all looked after by us. We check every detail ourselves, and we're always just a message away if you need anything.

Between the three properties, over 925 guests have given us an average rating above 4.9. We're proud of that, but what matters more is the messages we get afterwards: the couple who got engaged by the river, the family who come back every autumn, the friend who said it was the best weekend they'd had in years.

That's what we're here for. Not to run a holiday lettings business, but to share the village we love with people who'll love it too.

Who comes to stay

Guests come to Bibury from all over. Many travel from overseas, from Taiwan, Canada, the United States and across Europe, to see the village they have seen in photographs for themselves.

Others come to be together again. Families spread across generations, and old friends who have not seen enough of each other, take a cottage and pick up where they left off. Couples come for a quiet romantic escape. Some bring their parents, to share the magic of Bibury with the people who first gave them a love of places like this.

We also welcome a lot of wedding guests. Bibury sits close to many of the Cotswolds' finest wedding venues, so a cottage here makes an easy, comfortable base for the weekend.

Bibury is a lovely base for the wider Cotswolds too. The lower and upper Slaughters, and a dozen other villages worth the drive, are all within easy reach.
