The cottage location is excellent, within walking distance of a variety of restaurants & local shops including a well stocked supermarket. It's a short drive from many places of interest eg Hidcote Gardens, Stow-on-the-Wold. As keen walkers we appreciated the easy access to surrounding footpaths. The kitchen is well equipped & spacious.
We very much enjoyed our stay & have several comments/observations which we hope will be helpful. In no specific order these are:
1. Master Bedroom : bedside light not working. Change of bulb made no difference so it's assumed it's faulty,
: one side of radiator is loose & hanging off,
: there is no hairdryer, only the one in the Attic bedroom.
2. Both bathrooms need non-slip/suction mats for the safe use of the showers.
3. Attic Bedroom window frame is extremely dirty.
4. Lounge : the window blinds need attention particularly the left side one,
: the matting is very badly worn, especially near the kitchen door & stairs. We would describe this as dangerous.
5. Kitchen : generally well equipped but we consider that 4 glass tumblers (now 3) insufficient,
: the single bin does not enable visitors to comply with rubbish or recycling instructions & Council bins were nowhere
to be seen. The folder information does not reflect the reality.
6. Several kitchen appliance instruction leaflets were not in the folder but found on the book shelves on our last day whilst we searched for the Visitors Book.
7. There is no Visitors Book, although the folder information stated that there is one.
8. The appearance of the cottage form the street & around the front door is far from welcoming. The 2 plant pots are full of weeds, the front door is scruffy & the area under and around the doormat is dirty.
9. Most of the windows are quite dirty & this suggests that they haven't been cleaned for some time.

In summary, whilst we enjoyed our stay, we would not recommend Wendle Cottage at present, for the reasons listed above. Visitors need to be active & able to cope with narrow, winding, dark stairs (not helped by being painted black!). It is difficult to say whether we would recommend Stay Cotswold to a friend as this is our first booking with them....hence the 2 ticked boxes.

We had seven beautiful days in the Cotswolds. This was only partly due to the cottage. The kitchen and the two bedrooms were okay. The beds good and the shower facility completely fine. What made our holiday a bit mad were the cleanliness and the living room. The cleanliness at the beginning was not really sufficient, but there was a bit of help. What could not be changed was the street and the living room. The latter is very dark, certainly pleasant in midsummer, less so in September. The sofa is quite worn-out, actually only possible to sit on with the large number of cushions. One of the only 3 windows is unfortunately equipped with a blind that cannot be opened. The fact that the cars are either stuck in traffic jams in front of the door or thunder noisily through the living room and bedroom could perhaps have been guessed with a little experience. Otherwise, everything was okay, the appliances in the kitchen and the Wi-Fi worked excellently, but it would be helpful to put the extensive folder with instructions and hints on the suitcase table instead of hiding it in the drawer. In any case, we only found it by chance on the last day. You get used to the steep stairs, but it would be necessary to fix the fastening hooks of the upper stairs better, as they are becoming looser and looser.

Thank you Herbert for taking the time to leave a review of Wendle cottage. We understand that, being located in the heart of the town, there can be times when passing traffic is more noticeable. We were sorry to hear that it may have been a distraction during your stay, the location is provided on the property listing. We're pleased to hear that you found the cottage well-equipped, comfortable and conveniently located near the town’s restaurants, pubs, and shops. We truly value your feedback and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future.

Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing and fell well below the standard expected, particularly given the cost of over £450 for three nights.

We have stayed in many holiday homes over the years, but this property presented a number of issues which should not have been the case with a company of your reputation. The main concerns were:

A missing kitchen cupboard door, leaving all of the pipework under the sink exposed.
A kettle full of limescale, which should have been checked and replaced.

The rear garden was full of weeds and overgrown brambles, making it unappealing to sit outside.

The BBQ was in very poor condition and falling apart.

The rug in the lounge was frayed and unravelled, creating a clear tripping hazard.

Although the listing notes that the stairs are steep, they were in fact extremely steep – to the point where my parents, who are both 70, had to go up and down on their hands and knees. This needs to be made much clearer in the property description.

Although you said the heating was on a timer this did not come on and couldn’t make it work

Overall, the condition of the cottage was not up to standard.

Thank you Stephen for your review of Wendle Cottage. Your comments will be passed directly to the property owner and the property manager so that the issues with the kitchen cupboard, kettle, garden, BBQ, lounge rug, and heating system can be addressed promptly. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the clarity of the property description in relation to the steep staircase however we do prewarn guests twice under the finer details section, we are sorry that it appears you missed this information. We do hope that overall you enjoyed your time exploring the Cotswolds!

This lovely large cottage is in a perfect location, right on the high street but further down from the bars and restaurants so quieter.
We were there on a very hot day but the cottage stays incredibly cool so it was nice to come back to.
Great kitchen area, clean and although we only used it to make tea, it seemed to have more than you’d need to make meals.
Bedrooms and bathrooms are nice, both had comfy beds, soft crisp sheets and perfect fluffy towels.
The stairs are more of a climb, nothing like we’d experienced before, but we managed and I’m 60, my daughter 9 months pregnant and we had a three year old and we managed, it became a bit of a laugh in the end. Just be prepared if you don’t like heights.
There were some small maintenance issues which we’ve passed on but nothing that affected our stay.
All in all a lovely place in a perfect location.

The location of the cottage is wonderful. The property manager was great and very responsive. That being said we would not stay at this location again. The cottage itself is much colder, moldier and uncomfortable than the pictures show. It would really benefit from a facelift and cleaning of the mold from the windows. There are other places in town that are cleaner and warmer for the same price.

Thank you Tim for your review of Wendle Cottage. We are pleased to hear that you found the location of the cottage to be wonderful and the property manager was responsive to your needs. We are sorry to learn that your experience at the cottage did not meet your expectations.

The heating at the property can be adjusted to your liking, and there are thermostats on the radiators to help you find the perfect comfort level during your stay. The property owner takes all feedback seriously and will pass your feedback onto the property manager to address with his housekeeping team. We hope you will return to the Cotswolds soon.

The cottage had all the facilities we needed. Very comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and wood burner. The location was great for getting around the Cotswolds, especially the arboretum nearby, Stow and Chipping Campden. The main road outside is very busy and used by quite a lot of lorries. Unfortunately, due to road works, there was standing traffic outside, including very early in the morning, which was quite disruptive.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5-night stay in Wendle Cottage. We managed to park for free directly outside the cottage each day. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with quality gadgets, glasses, crockery and cutlery and is great for in-house dining. Despite the chilly weather, the cottage was warm and we did not need to use the log burner in the sitting room. The spiral staircase to the first and second floors is very steep and great care is needed when going up and down but the hand rail/rope and poles give a measure of confidence. Both bathrooms are adequate, although we would have liked to have had a non-slip mat in the first floor bath/shower. The beds are comfortable but the top floor room is an awkward configuration for accommodating the double bed which is two single beds joined, meaning that the person sleeping next to the wall would need to climb over the other person to get out during the night. We found a few things that needed attention and left a note on the kitchen table about these. None of them detracted from our enjoyment of the cottage.

The cottage was warm and clean. It is on the main street of Moreton in Marsh which was both a blessing and a curse. You are close to all the facilities that Moreton has to offer but is also a curse as the first floor bedroom is very noisy. Traffic rumbles through the town both day and night!
The first floor bathroom has a freestanding ball and claw footed bath with a waterfall shower above. Unfortunately this is very difficult to use unless you are very short so we ended up using the upstairs shower .
The off the Road parking place is very useful.
Net curtains would have been useful to the living room as people walk past the window affording you no privacy.
If you are a very sound sleeper this cottage may suit you.

Cannot fault the cottage , fantastic location (although the downside is ease of parking , the lay-by at the front of the house is as often in accessible due to cars blocking the space)

The weekend we stayed at the cottage there was a very loud fairground set up along the high street , this was problematic as the noise was loud and went on until late . It seemed like a planned event and would have been useful to have been notified of this event by the rental company as this would have lmpacted our decision to stay in this location

Lovely cottage, reasonably well equipped (some oven to tableware would be nice). Steep steps need better rails, the ropes don't really work well. The bath is slippy, there is nothing to hold onto and no anti-slip mats. Heating is controlled by turning the radiators up and down, which is a fiddle. We ended up leaving them on and opening doors and windows.

Parking isn't easy. You can park on the Fosse Way but will annoy the traffic. Outside the house is fine but the space gets blocked by the kitchen company and it is tricky to reverse out. I parked on the other side of the road eventually, but as the road is very busy you need to walk to the pedestrian crossing to get across.

You pay for the easy access to the town, shops, restaurants and station by being next to a very busy road - day and night. Cars at the front, trains at the back.

But all said the cottage suited our purpose for a week as a base. Too many downsides to rebook, but some within the owner's gift to fix.

The cottage is in a great location on the high street and we had no problem parking outside throughout our stay. The property has plenty of character but could do with some attention to certain items which are broken, I highlighted these areas in my return and quickly had a response. The communication with stay Cotswold was very efficient.

Beautiful little cottage comfortable and homely and excellent location, lovely decor.

Only downsides arrived on 29th Dec for 4 days to see New Year in, and our first time away for New Year, no Xmas decs left, except for a couple of very small garlands which was a little disappointing.

Problem with dimmer light in main bedroom and bedside lights didn’t work in main bedroom. Only one was managed to be fixed during our stay, but maintenance guy helpful & friendly.

Welcome pack disappointing after reading other comments re great items left, we found a packet of biscuits and milk, didn’t even have tea bags. Considering it was New Year and we had paid extra for this a bottle of vino or Prosecco would have been a nice touch.

Lovely cottage but a few area felt a little tired. Both shower heads could do with replacing as water sprays everywhere!

There was a fun fair when we stayed, which had thumping base until 10pm. I would recommend informing guests about this before letting them book. If we had known this, we wouldn’t have booked the cottage, we had a 1 year with us and it didn’t make the most relaxing stay.

It’s also worth noting that the stairs are very steep and dangerous, not baby friendly at all.

Overall the setting and location was good.

The cottage was cute and small.

The cleanliness of the kitchen in particular and dirty dishes old in the dishwasher and cutlery tray which wouldn’t clean was not fun!
Staircases are precarious (especiallly with large suitcases) and we are not children or elderly!

We struggled to find the apartment. No street numbers. Had to call a few times to get an explanation on how to find the cottage.

The upstairs bedroom is an odd arrangement. No plugs, bedside tables, light switches.

Parking was touch and go to get in and out of because of others blocking you into your parking / street.

Thank you Cameron for your recent review of Wendle Cottage. We are pleased to read that the cottage was cute, small and in a good location in Moreton in Marsh. The property name is above the front door and does not have a number, the exact property location details are provided in your arrival guide. The property has charming character features, such as original timbers, flagstone flooring, exposed stone and a wood burner. The staircase is mentioned on our website that guests may struggle with the steep stairs, though extra care should be taken by all guests. Thank you for your feedback regarding the cleanliness of the Kitchen and the dishwasher, we will pass this onto the Property Manager for his attention. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Cotswolds soon.

Having previously visited Moreton-in-Marsh several times, we were familiar with the location. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. It is an easy walk to all the facilities of the town, including restaurants, coffee shops, etc. ideally situated for touring the north Cotswolds by car, plus a short walk to the railway station for trips to Oxford (where parking is a nightmare)., Worcester or Evesham. We explored Chipping Norton, Chipping Camden and Bourton-in-the-Water and discovered the Bakers Arms at Broad Camden where we had a very good lunch.
We would also recommend Rixy's tea shop, and especially it's Greek yogurt panna cotta.
The description of the property warned of a narrow staircase and we discovered that it could be a trial for anyone with arthritic joints.

The cottage is very old and not without its challenges. The stairs are very steep and this is mentioned in the details.
We arrived early and someone was there fixing new hand rails on the stairs. He assured us the property would be ready for check in at 4 pm . It was which was great. Unfortunately one of the rails came of the first time we went up the stairs, this could have caused a bad accident. I informed the caretaker and she said she would send someone to fix it . We decided we could manage our stay without that particular rail and declined.
I don’t think any of the floors had been washed before our arrival as they were dusty and quite dirty. The dishwasher was still running when we arrived. There are skylights in the kitchen but no poles were provided to open them. Beds are comfortable and all linen is of good quality which was lovely. We just feel the whole house is in need of a deep clean.
Overall we had a good time . We would recommend the cottage but with some reservations

My daughter and I stayed in Wendle Cottage. We loved the location, despite the road outside being quite busy at times. Moreton-in-Marsh has lots to offer for those stay home days, and a supermarket, good coffee shops, and Otis and Belle makes good bread. We had no trouble parking near the cottage. The kitchen is very well appointed (though the oven did need a clean when we stayed), and we had everything we needed. The only negative is the steep and narrow stairs, especially challenging as I had an injured knee. But I managed by taking it slow and carefully. It would be nice to sit in the garden on sunny days, but it is a little forlorn. My daughter made good use of the book of Gloucestershire walks which was in the cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This was an ideal place to stay while visiting Moreton-in-Marsh and The Cotswolds. It had lots of amenities and is very comfortable and a cozy home base for exploring the town and surrounding area. Stairs can be a challenge as they are quite narrow but the grab bars and rope on the upper staircase make it manageable. Being able to have the windows open while we were there was great and we slept wonderfully! Would gladly stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay in Wendell cottage and we will definitely be returning. It is a really great property in a perfect location. Before we went we were a little concerned by the stairs, they are indeed steep and narrow as advertised. However once we had navigated them a couple of times they weren’t then a problem whatsoever. The kitchen is very well kitted out and the living room is very cosy. There is a small area out the back of the property that sadly due to the weather we couldn’t make use of but we are looking forward to spending a pleasant evening sitting out there next time we visit. We will happily be recommending Wendell cottage to friends and family.

A pretty cottage in the heart of Moreton but the stairs are tricky

A warm welcome on arrival to this pretty cottage as the heating was on and a beautifully lit Christmas tree was up in the sitting room, a very comfy double bed, soft towels and a comfy sofa, well equipped cottage and beautifully furnished however the ground floor is the best space in the cottage. The steep twisting staircase is difficult even for an active and able bodied person like myself, there was a rope handrail seen on the website photos but it appears to have been removed or never replaced, so getting up and down the stairs needs concentration, this is quite dangerous in my opinion and needs attention before someone falls down the stairs please. The bedside lights look attractive but you have to get out of bed to switch then off! (someone didn't think that one through)The bathroom is lovely however the shower in the bathtub is not very practical as the shower curtain sticks to your body (I'm not large), also at 5ft 7 the impressing rain shower was only a few inches above my head. The only other disappointment was the welcome tray which comprised of a packet of ginger nuts & milk, the coffee machine however was welcome. I'm sure other visitors will love the cottage, but I wouldn't return.

The cottage is perfectly located for the shops/restaurants and public transport. The interior is lovely, cosy and warm downstairs. Cold upstairs in loft and heating did not work there. Stairs are a hazard. We left our cases downstairs and took what we needed by hand upstairs! Would be great to have a downstairs toilet to avoid doing the stairs in the day time. First floor bedroom window not fitting properly so draughty and noisy from road traffic at night. All said, we really enjoyed our stay and probably would come back to use as a local base.

Thank you Shilpa for your review of Wendle Cottage. We are delighted you found the property to be perfectly located, cosy and lovely. Unfortunately due to layout constraints there is not enough space for a downstairs toilet. We do advise all guests on the online property description that the stairs at this property are steep and narrow. We are pleased to hear that overall you would stay again!

Can't wait to go back!

We had a lovely stay, it was relaxing very comfortable. Interior is within keeping of the cottage property, which made it feel lovely and homely. Kitchen well equipped. Only faults were the radiator in the kitchen you could not turn down due to the nozzle dial broken and slight damp smell in the main bathroom. However everything else was perfect, the stairs are steep but we were prepared by that. We can't wait to revisit, it exceeded our expectations :)

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is characterful, beautifully furnished, very clean and well situated right in the centre of Moreton-in-Marsh which has a great selection of cafes, restaurants and little shops.

We didn’t park immediately outside as it was a little tight but there was no shortage of parking within a minute just along the High St.

It had pretty much everything we needed and although not much is provided in the way of consumables- there are places to buy within a couple of minutes walk.

We did find the master bedroom very noisy throughout the night with traffic thundering right past which kept us awake. We had expected some noise with it being on the High St but the window in that bedroom is single glazed with a little gap which did not block the noise out at all. The bedroom on the top floor is not affected by noise as there is no window to the front.

We also found it uncomfortably warm, especially downstairs, as you are unable to adjust the heating without contacting the manager.

The description makes the issue with the stairs very clear so we were expecting that and it didn’t worry me at the time of booking - but the treads really are very narrow, steep, uneven and no handrail. To the upper flight the rope handrail was hanging loose in the middle of the steps to give an added trip hazard!

We had a great time and Wendle Cottage was a great place to stay. It is finished to a high specification that isn’t often seen in holiday properties. Comfortable and well equipped. We were there during a hot period in summer but it stayed nice and cool in the main living areas. Great location although if a light sleeper you may need ear plugs as road noise can be loud in main bedroom if windows open. Also be aware of what the owners state re the staircase as it is tight and steep. All in all a great stay that we’d highly recommend!

A quintisental Cotswold Cottage in Morton in Marsh High Street with its delightful golden stone listed buildings.

Set on three stories it’s compact but tastefully furnished with quality fabrics and furnishings. The two internal stairs cases need to be given serious consideration as they are exceptionally steep and narrow. Apart from that it’s an ideal cottage, giving you the true feeling of being somewhere very different .

We stayed in Wendle cottage for a month. It is right in the heart of the town so a great location. However parking next to the cottage, which is readily available, can be tricky as you often have to reverse out onto the main road. The cottage is very well equipped apart from the lack of washing machine. The stairs are definitely challenging and definitely not for anyone with mobility issues! One of the beds in the top bedroom has a rather uncomfortable mattress. The water pressure in the ensuite isn't great. The WiFi is excellent and the cottage was lovely and warm.

Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. It's nice to have pubs and restaurants on your doorstep. We recommend the Redesdale Arms for a drink!

A lovely stay at Wendle Cottage for our mini moon following our wedding in the Cotswolds. A fantastic base to discover all that the Cotswolds has to offer. The cottage is cosy and clean with more than enough space for two people to relax in. For us, the bed was a little uncomfortable, but we could put that down to personal preference. There was also a light fixture and a kitchen plinth that fell down unexpectedly during our stay, nothing a quick fix won't sort! Do take note of the steep staircase warning when booking, as they are VERY steep and the bottom set does not have a handrail. Finally, we would highly recommend eating at the White Hart Royal, fabulous food and only a 1min walk away!

Wendle Cottage is a lovely cottage in a good location to get to other villages in the Cotwolds. The cottage is great for adults, little kids and older people might struggle with the stairs. Parking is also quite tight for larger cars but there is a Market car park just round the corner, 2 minutes away and very reasonably priced. We had a great stay here.
