Covid hit us hard for 2 years with no visits from UK guests until Sara and Mark returned to visit from Devon with a car full of tea bags and other goodies!
2022 - We're Back on Track!
We have had a wonderfully busy summer and were completely booked from the beginning of June to early October.
We were finally able to meet and host many guests who had booked before Covid and we thank them for their patience!
2023 is looking positive with June and July already fully booked....house in the field is proving ever popular and we thank Alistair Sawday's for their continued support!
All reviews are taken directly from our page on Alistair Sawday's and all are 5* reviews to date!
The gorgeous images & sumptuous description sound like a tasty slice of Southern France stone house, pool paradise right? Well, buckle up because the reality is even better! The achingly beautiful French Cotswolds views, the deafening peace & quiet, the best night stars imaginable, the perfectly/luxuriously/tastefully equipped accommodation. Parfait! Then the gorgeous, generous, kind hosts Lindsay & Tim go the extra mile, making you a part of their life, the local night markets, their journey. Remarkable. Worth every penny. We will be back – if only to decide who's crazy croquet champion!

The House in the Field was exactly what we were looking for. It is as idyllic as it looks in the photos, it is fabulously well-equipped (I defy anyone to discover something that they would expect to find at home that is not there) and the hosts Lindsay and Tim are everything that you could wish them to be. They are there when you want them to be without being intrusive, ready with advice on how to get the best out of your time with them and always friendly and welcoming.

This place really is as idyllic as the photos suggest. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and fabulously equipped. Tim and Lindsay were brilliant hosts giving us hints and tips on how to get the most from the local area. We shed a few tears upon leaving them and House in a Field but will return for another stay soon.

This is the most amazing property to stay in .The kitchen has everything needed ,the pool is ideal for games and for swimming . The views are exceptional . Its peaceful and quiet .We loved the two dogs Finn & Dave, even at a distance. Tim and Lindsey go out of their way to help you for anything ,even providing themselves as a taxi service. Thank you for a wonderful stay x

House in the Field is perfect! It is like a home from home with absolutely everything you could ever need and everything is immaculate, beautiful, and so obviously designed and put together with love. The location is stunning and so, so peaceful but an easy drive to lots of gorgeous towns and villages and so little traffic! It is the perfect place to relax, soak up the sunshine, dip in the wonderful pool and watch the glorious sun sets. Lindsay and Tim are simply the best hosts you could wish for. We arrived as guests but left as friends and can’t wait to go back. Exceptional!! xx

This was our fourth visit to House in the Field and it was every bit as good as the first. It has become our home away from home. Lindsay and Tim always provide a warm welcome, as do their dogs Finn and Dave. The property is immaculately kept with a keen eye for detail ... you will find nothing wanting, and it is always a wrench to leave. Thank you for another memorable holiday ... we will return!

EARLIER REVIEWS
The house setting is superb, very peaceful with lovely views and a feeling of total tranquility. The property is immaculately and thoughtfully presented and very well equipped. Lindsay and Tim were exceptional hosts and have clearly put a lot of love and hard work into the whole enterprise. They went out of their way to make ours and our 3 young children’s stay super relaxed, happy and memorable. The pool was a great temperature and pristine, with a stunning patio- a real highlight. Thanks again.We would definitely go back!

The photos really do not do House in The Field justice. It is a beautifully restored, furnished and equipped to the highest standard. We have stayed in a lot of different high standard holiday rentals and this one is up there with the best. Lindsay and Tim really all such wonderful hosts and have thought of absolutely everything you will need, even down to the birthday candles for celebrations. The best bit about this house is the beautiful pool surrounded by lovely marble outdoor living area, shaded wood verandah, comfy sofas, massive oak table and BBQ. Lovely! We would love to return soon
Alesia, Leeds Jul 2019
We have just returned from a blissful two weeks at the House-in-a-Field. Frankly I’m not sure how I agreed to leave! This was a peaceful, rural gem. 20-30 mins to several beautiful medieval towns and chateaus. The day and night markets were lively and abundant. Canoeing down the Dordogne river (Roque-Gageac 1 hr away, stunning drive) was brilliant. My husband and teenage son loved teleski/wakeboarding on wires (1 hr away)
I opted for paddle boarding .The sunsets from the pool are magnificent and watching lightening storms from the oak porch was cosy and romantic. This house is stunning!

House in the Field provided the perfect situation for us to relax together as a family. The beautifully restored house, with idyllic verandah looking onto the glorious pool, was the perfect antidote to stressful lives in the big city. Our hosts, Lindsay and Tim were charming - discreet but always ready to help when needed and utterly charming. And we loved the company of their dogs, Finn and Dave, who kept a respectful distance at all times. We are hoping they will remember us next year (we have booked to return for 2 weeks in 2020) when they might come a little closer!
Marie, Bath Jul 2019
Our stay was everything and more than hoped for. Lindsay and Tim are the most welcoming of hosts and the house was amazing, spotless, well provisioned, and comfortable. The crowning glory is the outside space with far reaching views. A very generous hamper welcomed us on arrival, and Lindsay and Tim were on hand to offer assistance and recommendations. This is by far the best accommodation we have stayed at in France. Fearing everyone who stays will want to return, we have already booked for next year! Thank you, Lindsay and Tim, for sharing your little slice of heaven.
Sara and Mark, North Devon Jun 2019
What a fabulous place! The location is so tranquil; truly a place to completely unwind. A morning swim in the pool followed by a leisurely breakfast on the deck was the perfect way to start the day. The house is very tastefully decorated and the bed was super-comfy. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could need, just like home, which isn’t always the case in a holiday rental. Thank you Lindsay and Tim, you couldn’t have made us more welcome. We definitely plan to return!
Caroline, Westerham Jun 2019
My Husband and I and our baby have just got back from a week’s stay at House in the field. We had an amazing time! The house is absolutely perfect, beautifully decorated and situated in gorgeous countryside. The veranda and pool area are the most perfect places to relax. There are also some gorgeous towns and villages nearby if you fancy exploring. Can’t wait to go back!
