Brook Cottage is a stylish Cotswold stone holiday home with two bedrooms nestled in the North Cotswolds. This lovingly refurbished property offers an idyllic country retreat just a short drive from Shipston-on-Stour, complete with a contemporary open plan kitchen/diner and cosy sitting room to relax around the wood burner.

The cottage was easy to find with good car parking. Overall it was excellent, well equipped and very comfortable. Small shops nearby and an excellent Pub, The George, which provided good food.
We had to phone the maintenance company on arrival as a couple of light bulbs were out, one of the controls on the cooker was off and one of the two ovens wasn't working. However, the bulbs were replaced the following day and the cooker problems were noted by the maintenance person, as they didn't impact us.
We found the shower very difficult to regulate, as most of the time the water was too hot, with no temperature failsafe.
The garden gate had to be tied shut, the bolt was broken off, to make the garden child and dog proof!
In addition, after paying an additional £40 for our pet dog, we were disappointed to find there were no dog bowls in the property, this we found very unusual and believe that if pets are welcome then certain minimum items should be provided.
Luckily none of this impacted on our short break and we had an enjoyable time.

We visited Brook Cottage for a few nights and felt it was a good base for us and met all of our expectations. The photos and descriptions on the website were accurate and everything worked, was clean and pretty well equipped.

Beautifully decorated and really well equipped. Very comfy beds. Lots of storage. Pub, butcher, bakery & shop 3 minutes walk. Parking spaces a bonus. Had a query on arrival and it was easy to make contact for help.

The cottage was excellent - well-equipped, warm and comfortable. Just a bit of mould in bathroom. Close to local pub as indicated when we booked - but disappointingly pub was not open for food on night we arrived. Not your fault but annoying.
The niggle: charging double what other companies ask for our dog and not discounting the weekly rate for a stay of only three nights. That's mean in my opinion.
And while the log fire was appreciated leaving a box with only two matches was also a bit stingy.

We came here on our honeymoon with our 12 year old son to spend a hopefully lovely and relaxing break in the beautiful Cotswolds. We arrived to our cottage to find it in excellent condition, with welcome gifts of milk, orange juice and eggs greatly appreciated. The cottage itself was perfectly clean, extremely well equipped and was just what we had hoped for. The location was perfect, quiet small village with good local amenities and within easy driving distance of major Cotswolds attractions. All in all, a brilliant break, would highly recommend and will certainly look to book with StayCotswold again.

Beautiful cottage, amazing beds. Couple of niggles but nothing that impacted our stay… great welcome pack, perfect for breakfast. Beds were amazingly, secondary glazing meant we had no issues with road noise. The stairs are really narrow - not suitable for those with limited mobility.

Stay Cotswolds were great to deal with. Customer service & communication was excellent

information in file could be better eg what recycling bin is for what ( different areas have different colours) , plus wi-fi password incorrect (N missing) Was correct on blackboard.
No sign for Brook cottage upon arriving - would be helpful if it was on the wall next to the Hurdles
Had problem with TV - couldn’t get a lot of the normal channels
Would have liked a radio (radio on the problem TV so didnt even try that) plus a bread bin.
Saying all that it was a lovely cottage - one of the best we have stayed in - quiet, comfortable and well equipped.
Lovely welcome pack upon arrival.

Lovely cosy home that we instantly felt at home in. The bed was extremely comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised to learn it was an Emma mattress! Really impressed as we don’t normally sleep very well when away from our bed. Unfortunately, even though I have two log burners at home, I just couldn’t get it to work properly, but we were able to boost the heating when we were chilly. Would definitely stay again. Thank you for letting us stay on your beautiful home
