This is a very well presented cottage in the heart of the Cotswolds and we truly had a fantastic weekend. We visited with a group of friends to celebrate a 60th birthday and we couldn't have been happier with the standard of the accommodation and how it was presented.
The cottage was cleaned to a high standard and was presented very well. The kitchen is very well equipped, better than our own homes, and everything was in working order. All the bedrooms are lovely and friends all stated how comfortable they were.
We did use the hot tub on a couple of occasions and it was a great addition for us to get together at the end of our walks.
The new property managers, Clive and Carlie were extremely helpful and on the end of telephone all weekend if we needed them, which we didn't, but reassuring to know we could call them at any time.
All in all, a lovely, cozy and comfortable cottage that we would highly recommend if you are looking for a break with friends or family.

After my husband’s operation, we fancied a few days away to relax and unwind. Having stayed in many cottages across Cornwall and Norfolk, we always look for somewhere that is dog-friendly, relaxing, and stylish and this place truly had it all.

The cottage is absolutely stunning, with a layout that works beautifully. We’ll definitely be booking again, this time with our older family, as the hot tub is a real bonus for us. The interior has been thoughtfully designed and, coming from an interior design background, I can honestly say it’s the most luxurious place we’ve ever stayed in.

Everything we needed was provided. We even became quite good at setting the fire, and the TV room was especially cosy in the evenings. The local area is very pretty, with lovely villages and towns to explore.

For food lovers, we’d highly recommend The Kingham Plough and The Old Butchers. We also visited Broadway for the first time and absolutely loved it.

I would most definitely recommend this cottage for a short break with family of any age. It’s a truly special place, with a charming, homely feel that makes you instantly relax.

Beautiful cottage, well furnished, good layout to cater for 3 generations of a family. Good area for walks. Garden and hot tub lovely.

In need of a good clean and de cluttering - hard to find anywhere to actually put a glass down or use the bedside table due to oversize lamps etc. Supposedly decorated for Christmas - 2 cheap plastic collapsible Xmas trees is hardly in keeping with the cottage, the lights didn’t even have working batteries. I’d specifically checked about Xmas decorations otherwise we would have brought our own, luckily Amazon to the rescue. If we’re paying a premium for the Xmas period I expect some effort towards Xmas decorations. The bedroom on its own was always freezing. The constant traffic outside the front bedrooms is noisy.

Communication before arrival was very poor ( we are regularly property renters and I would say it’s the worst I’ve experienced), it was either wait until 3 weeks before arrival, don’t know or questions not answered, but very clear on what we couldn’t do. I think we left it cleaner and tidier than we found it having got the hoover working, cleaned and organised the kitchen cupboards and drawers and washed the floors.

Thank you, Patricia for your review of Shaven Cottage. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cottage’s layout, furnishings, garden, hot tub, and its location for family walks. However, we are very sorry to learn that several aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. We are disappointed to hear that you did not report any of these issues during your stay. We make sure all guests are provided with the contact details for the property manager, who is always on hand to assist with any concerns regarding cleanliness, maintenance, or comfort. Had they been made aware, they would have been happy to resolve the matters you’ve outlined, including heating, décor, and cleaning issues. We have also sent you a further email to enquire specifically about the cleanliness issues, but sadly you have not responded. Regarding your comment about poor communication, this appears to relate to an email you sent with specific questions about the property. Our team responded with the information we were able to provide at the time and then advised you to contact the property managers once you received their contact details, which are sent 21 days prior to arrival. Your comments about the Christmas decorations, general cleanliness, and clutter have been shared with the property owner and manager for them to review and implement any appropriate actions for the benefit of future guests. Despite these issues, we hope you were able to enjoy your time with your family, and we would welcome the opportunity to provide a smoother and more enjoyable experience should you stay with us again! Please note that this property is now under new property management as of 15/01/26

The house was in a lovely area. The local pubs were great - The Hare, The Lamb Inn. Great coffee shop at Rise & Flour.

The house was clean, lovely decor and really homely. Kitchen had everything you need. The only one slight negative is no downstairs toilet but otherwise it was totally perfect. Really recommend.

Myself and my family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at shaven cottage in February 2025. The decor was absolutely breathtaking and kitchen well equipped. We were even left the basics to get a started for our stay which was much appreciated. We had a question in regards to the gate and called the number given and the issue was rectified immediately. You may have seen that some reviews state that it can be a bit noisy due to being on the main road, but this did not bother us in the slightest, plus earplugs were provided in each bedroom! The only thing I would recommend is not using the driveway and parking space as it is very tight to get into and get out of. However, there is ample parking in the village which is free.
We will definitely be back and would throughly recommend Stay Cotswolds.

We’ve always stayed with Boutique Retreats when traveling in the UK, and this cottage is on par with them at a fraction of the price. Although there were only three of us and a small dog, we found it useful to close off the entrance sitting room and the bedroom with the nook.

Despite being on a busy junction, we hardly noticed any traffic noise. Unfortunately, we couldn’t fit our Range Rover in the driveway—it’s quite tight—but we were able to park out front to unload and then found a space on the little green opposite the road, where there was always availability.

Once inside, the cottage did not disappoint. Just like the photos, it was beautifully presented, warm, and thoughtfully designed. The beds were really comfy, and we mainly used the little sitting room to watch TV. The barn-style door in the utility room lets in a draft, so we’d recommend keeping it shut.

The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need for cooking and plenty of options to choose from. The microwave doesn’t work properly, but hey, we made popcorn on the hob instead!

The location is perfect, with a lovely walk just up the road—a 10-minute stroll to Wychwood Wild Park. We initially missed it, but to find it, head past Shipton Court (an incredible sight on your left), continue along the road, and you’ll see the gates on the right.

We had the best time the cottage was amazing , if we had to be really picky I’d say a downstairs loo would of been great and also a tv in the main lounge as we found where the tvs were there wasn’t enough seating for us all , but other than that we had a fab stay and would highly recommend x

Shaven Cottage is a really lovely property. It’s a great size and in a village with a couple of lovely pubs to eat in. The decoration and quality of accommodation was great and the property inside was very clean and well maintained. The three lounges were a nice bonus as the children had their own games room/lounging room. It’s well located and close to plenty of other Cotswolds villages and attractions. It’s a shame the pub next door wasn’t serving food at all while we were there as it looked lovely!

Parking is up the side of the house and behind a large gate which is good, but it’s quite a narrow driveway if you have a big car.
The outside space was nice - the lawn area hadn’t been mowed which made clearing up after the dogs trickier, but presumably this would be in the summer. One small disappointment was that the hot tub area hadn’t been cleaned since the previous use and there was food on the floor around it. Having reported this, a company arrived to clean the following day however.

We thought the standard of accommodation was good value for money, however it was a shame that when we asked for the starter logs we were told that we weren’t entitled to them as it was now April. The website noted logs would be provided October to April but evidently they mean October through March. A small detail but for the cost of the property, ambiguous wording on the website and the fact that the hot tub area hadn’t been cleaned, a few logs as a gesture would have been appreciated. No welcome hamper either which was a surprise for a high quality property like this (although some milk was provided and a few biscuits). Perhaps we have just been spoilt in previous properties however.

These are minor things however, and overall it was lovely: we would recommend this property and would return, but I think some extra touches would make it 5/5 value for money and customer service.

We were 6 adults and 3 children celebrating a 70th birthday. The cottage was very suitable for us and the hot tub was used a lot.
The layout is really good with plenty of room. The fourth bedroom is quite tight when the (uncomfortable) sofa is up. No parking really as on a main road but this did not cause a problem as the pub was happy to take two cars. All in all a great stay.

We had a lovely stay at Shaven Cottage. Very comfortable and very well appointed and in a fabulous location and I would definitely stay there again.
A couple of things though which could be improved upon. I did try to get hold of the property manager by messenger and email to ask various questions before our stay but no one responded which was frustrating. One of the questions was about the quantity of wood provided for the wood burning stoves as I knew we would be using them. There are three stoves and should have been enough logs for each to get going according to the blurb but there were in fact only three logs which actually looked like they’d already been partly used. This is a premium property and as such it would be a good idea and probably wouldn’t cost a great deal for there to be a supply of logs in a store to the rear of the property. This would be great for people staying over the winter months and save traipsing to the garage especially if you were without a car like us.
Apart from that a fabulous cottage.

We are sorry to hear that you had an issue with getting a response from the property manager.

Thanks for providing us with the opportunity to review Shaven Cottage. We had a wonderful stay - the house, decor and garden were lovely, however there were two issues we were unhappy with, one big issue and one minor issue (which did impact on our stay).

The first and major issue was the failure to disclose that the cottage is on a main road. The traffic and speed of the traffic was a big problem particularly with dogs, elderly people and if you had young children. The description describes a village location which is true however the road was a major issue for us - even crossing the road was perilous as you had to run given cars travelled through at high speeds. I recognise you cannot be held responsible for the speed in which cars are travelling but you do have a responsibility to let customers know about the road.

The other issue was the lack of coffee making facilities. No provision of a cafetiere was super disappointing given the standard and cost of the accommodation. We had to drive to Chipping Norton both mornings to visit Cafe Nero in order to get coffee. We couldn't get on with the on the hob espresso maker and given there were 5 of us, this was not a practical solution. This is an easy fix.

I would recommend the property if the road is disclosed so you can make a choice as to whether this is suitable for your needs. Until then, I would not recommend.

StayCotswold replied more than 1 year ago

Thank you for sharing your review and feedback, Lisa. Shaven Cottage is located in the heart of the Wychwoods and Shipton, the largest of the Wychwoods, is a picturesque village that is very well connected to London. The exact location can be seen in the property map which shows the proximity of the A361, additionally, this is also shown in one of the photographs. A cafetiere is typically provided for guests and we’ll ask that the property manager checks this is still available. For anything like this, it’s always best to reach out to the property manager at the time of a stay as they are on hand to help and will always work to ensure guests have the most enjoyable stay at the properties they manage.

Well equipped, tasteful decor and ornamental accessories.

Parking is very tight but we parked in the road opposite without any difficulty.

Beautiful and well appointed cottage in the lovely village of Shipton under Wychwood. Perfect for family get-together to celebrate a big birthday. Our dogs too were very welcomed including a luxurious dog bed! Bedrooms are all excellent with very comfy beds. The outside space is fabulous and although we visited in November, we could imagine the bifold doors open to the patio with its fire pit, outside table and hot tub. Ideal for walking in the Cotswolds or visiting the cute villages. Loads of good pubs around: we would recommend The Lamb Inn in Shipton, The Hare at Milton, and the Royal Oak in Burford (especially for the pies!).

A fabulous family Christmas, spent in a cosy home , in a beautiful part of the world.
Three wood burning stoves, excellent, a must for any Christmas house. It did take a little convincing though, as to how Father Christmas got down the chimney.
We were 7 adults and three children under 5 , Shaven cottage worked very well for us . Good size rooms , nicely decorated, plenty of space for all to eat , play or disappear for a quiet moment. The Swan only a short walk away where we had an excellent Christmas Eve lunch.The little local park with the zip wire also proved very popular with the little ones and big ones ! As was the hot tub every morning and evening for 7 days.
We had a few minor issues during our stay that were taken on board and very quickly sorted out by Chris and Daniel. Especially after we had left , Chris went beyond the call of duty searching out and retrieving several items, we inevitably left behind. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
We definitely would like to go back to Shaven cottage, if they will have us that is.
Thank you for helping us to make more,Happy family memories .

We had a very nice and relaxing stay in Shaven Cottage which was beautiful and also wonderfully clean and warm and cosy. Driveway is a little bit tight but fine once you're in! Good location and close to a super pub. Thanks for all help and assistance.

We have just had the most wonderful stay at Shaven Cottage for my 60th! This cottage is awesome. Every room is decorated to the highest standard. It felt like we were in a brand new place. It has everything you need and the garden with the hot tub and fire pit were just the icing on the cake. There are some lovely pubs within walking distance and some beautiful villages a short drive away such as Bourton on the Water. I have stayed in numerous houses/cottages over the years and this one is by far the best! We will definitely return. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at Shaven Cottage. The cottage is beautiful, it had everything we needed for a perfect weekend with family. It’s a great location too. The owners were also fantastic at sorting out a problem we had (of my own making nothing to do with them!) and could not have been more response and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend!

Shaven Cottage is a fantastic property, decorated to the highest standard inside and out. The facilities are first class and it is an ideal property for a large group.

The location is perfectly suited for both walking and driving around the Cotswolds.
