What is the minimum stay at Mae Cottage?

We accept short stays from 2 to 3 nights depending on season. The booking page shows live availability and the minimum-night rules for your dates.

Can I book a 2 night stay?

Yes, where availability allows. Two night midweek stays are easier to find than two night weekend stays, especially in peak season.

Do you offer weekend breaks?

Yes. A Friday to Sunday or Friday to Monday weekend break is one of our most common short stays.

Can I book a midweek break?

Yes, Monday to Thursday or Monday to Friday midweek breaks work well and are often the best value short stay option.

Is the cottage suitable for a short escape from London?

Very much so. Direct trains from London Paddington reach Moreton-in-Marsh in about 90 minutes, and Mae Cottage is a 5 minute walk from the station.

Are prices for short stays better booking direct?

Yes. Booking direct on this site removes the booking-platform fees that Airbnb and Booking.com add on top of the nightly rate, which usually makes a meaningful difference on a 2 or 3 night stay.

2 to 3 night stays

Short stay cottage in the Cotswolds

Mae Cottage is a four-bedroom Cotswold cottage on the High Street in Moreton-in-Marsh, with proper short-stay availability from 2 to 3 nights.

A proper short break

Two and three night Cotswold breaks, not week-only lets

Most Cotswold cottages are set up for week-long stays. Mae Cottage is not. We take short stays from 2 to 3 nights as a first-class option, which makes the cottage a strong fit for weekend breaks, midweek escapes, and wedding-party stays.

Live availability and the current minimum-night rules show on the booking page.
