Clean well maintained property, excellent location. Good to have hot tub, though there were no sterilising tablets to put in the water once used even though instructions ask you to put them in after you get out.

We had such a lovely stay at The Old Candle Shop, it’s a beautiful little house. It was spotless and the welcome basket was a lovely extra touch. The beds were really comfortable and we loved the hot tub. We hope to come again ☺️

Great place and really good location. Only reason it’s a 4 on comfort is the upstairs rooms were very hot with the weather being unseasonably warm. Managed okay with the fans but would of been difficult if any hotter! Other than that perfect location wise and facilities and would’ve definitely return!

We had a wonderful time at the Old Candle Shop. The location is perfect and having space for a car was great for day trips. The space was clean and had all of the amenities we could need. Great for a family vacation. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus to use in the evening.

First impressions count and this property had it all.- fabulous facilities and the wow factor. Had to be good at reversing to get the car into the enclosed yard. Display cabinet shelves a bit dusty and the wok had been left with oil in but other than these minor points the property was first class.

The Old Candle shop was a lovely place to stay. It is beautifully presented and well equipped. Although in the heart of Moreton in Marsh it is surprisingly private. The hot tub was the icing on the cake! Would love to stay again.

This cottage is just lovely. It was really clean on arrival and had everything you could possibly need. The location is perfect and the hot tub a great asset. We were able to access everywhere really easily which was a bonus. We didn’t want to leave!!

We had a fantastic few days at The Old Candle Shop. The cottage was beautiful and spotlessly clean. It also had absolutely everything anyone would need from milk and butter in the fridge to dog treats in the cupboard. Location-wise, the cottage is in the heart of Moreton-in-Marsh, just behind the High Street, with plenty of places to eat and drink. The walks were beautiful too! A perfect place to stay and we wouldn't hesitate to go back again, it was a real 'home from home' holiday.

The property is in an excellent location within 100m to the shops and pubs of Moreton. It was spacious and clean with everything you could need. The hot tub was clean and well maintained. If you have a very big car you may find the parking a bit tight. EV charger wasn't working, but the property manager sorted it very quickly. I would recommend this property and would go again if I was visiting the area.

The house was lovely and in such a great location close to the shops and station. The house had everything we needed and wanted which was great. Couple of things that could be improved would be something like a gazebo over the hot tub so it can be used in all weather conditions. Also the sofa bed in the front room needs seriously upgrading its very uncomfortable and dips in the middle even when set up as a sofa.

A very comfortable high spec property in a fabulous location. The welcome pack was lovely and everything you need was provided and well thought out. Living room was extremely comfy with excellent seating for us all and we enjoyed our stay. Thank you Our only minor criticisms are: No Prosecco flutes - even in the cabinet there wasn’t anything suitable No pint glasses The garden on entering the property was untidy with dead plants in pots so not a great first impression Umbrella was broken so no shade BBQ was unusable due to being filthy and not cleaned from whoever used it last

We had a fabulous week in Moreton at The Old Candle Shop. The property was very well equipped and the welcome basket was superb. The beds were very comfortable and the towels were lovely and fluffy. Everything was well explained in the house and we managed to use the cooker and tv with no problems. My only slight whinges were that the drawers in the bedroom hadn’t been cleaned properly and the parking space was a bit tight. I always bring my own shampoo/conditioner/shower gel anyway but these weren’t provided at the property. We will definitely stay again and Moreton is a lovely Cotswold town.

The house is in a perfect position just a short stroll from the High Street where there are lovely places to eat and drink. It was well equipped with anything you would possibly need and a lovely welcome pack was waiting for us when we arrived. We visited lots of lovely places every day all within an hours journey of the property. The house was beautiful and we had a hard task trying to keep our 5 year old granddaughter out of the hot tub. She loved it!!! Nice to relax in after a long day sightseeing.Although there is only one space for parking at the property, there are plenty places on the High Street. I would definitely recommend it and if we visit the Cotswolds again in the future, I woul love to stay here again. Thankyou.

We had a wonderful stay at the Old Candle Shop in Moreton. The property is in a perfect location two minutes walk from the High Street with parking which is a huge bonus . It has been built to a high standard and offers very comfortable accommodation with lots of nice touches and more importantly is very clean. The owners have thought of everything to ensure guests have a perfect stay. We loved coming back after a day out to unwind in the hot tub. The kitchen is well stocked with crockery and utensils . We would have no hesitation in recommending a stay at the Old Candle Shop and will certainly return next time we visit the Cotswolds . The whole process from booking the accommodation to checking in and out was simple and we had regular updates from StayCotswold who were very efficient.

The old candle shop was well presented and well located it is finished to a high standard and a big bonus was the off road parking the hot tub was a great addition and a nice out side area as we had a dog with us and fully secure for the him The property is just off the high street that has pubs restaurants and shops so very handy The only thing I would recommend is replacement of sofas as the sofa bed is very uncomfortable and small chesterfield is very low the arm chair is very comfortable I had to clean out log burner as it had been used and some cutlery and cooking utensils were not clean in the drawers however all in all really enjoyed our stay and great location and good walks with the dog over the fields

We were here for 3 nights for my wife’s birthday. It is beautifully decorated and well equipped although we only used the kettle! It is so close to great places to eat but still fairly quiet. The hot tub is really big and we used it twice a day. Absolute bliss. We slept well in a very comfy bed and used the log burner every night. We took our smallest car which easily went in the garage. A few minor niggles though. There was no milk in the fridge for a cuppa and no firelighters and a tiny amount of kindling. Tesco express was shut for improvements for 2 days so we had to drive to Coop - not far but the roads were really busy by then. The gauntlets supplied for the log burner were useless/dangerous but there were tongs. The main door doesn’t open and it would’ve been nice to know instead of trying it for ages. The place was generally spotless but we did get quite a few dog hairs on our clothing which surprised us. We did have a really great time and would come back.

The property certainly has the wow factor, beautifully presented and very well equipped. The location is great, just a few metres from the main high street, but even being so close there was no noise nuisance at all. Everything was good quality & it was a comfortable property to stay in. Our only two very minor niggles were that there were plenty of plastic flutes & wine glasses for use around the hot tub, however there were only 2 proper glass wine glasses for use indoors. I appreciate there was a cabinet containing expensive looking crystal glasses however we didn't know if they were for general use & would have been afraid of breaking them. Also there were four of us booked into the property but only 3 hot tub towels were provided - properly an oversight. We would all definitely stay here again as it really was a lovely place.

The Old Candle Shop is located in one of the most beautiful parts of the country , all areas of the Cotswold are a short drive away and would highly recommend seeing as much as you can . The old Candle Shop is amazing it is roomie and well-presented and the of street parking is a bonus . The outside area is also good with a hot tub that is not over looked , i must say though that the only down side are a few of the food eateries we had a few poor meals/takeaways the stone bake pizza place was not that great and Ask Italia also not great having said that it did not spoil our stay i must recommend Otis & Belle they serve amazing fresh baked food every day . Also leaving on a high these areas are very dog friendly which ticks a box for most . In regards to what i have said these are our views in regards to the eateries please make your own decision .
