Cottage was spacious for 5 people and had nice outside area.
Couple of negatives...there is an aga in kitchen which has to be on all the time making it very hot.
Electrics all went off on Friday night, difficult getting in touch initially with management company(not answering phone number provided ..had to email but this was not provided in welcoming text eventually did late Sat am who arranged electrician who came out sat afternoon and fixed faulty electrics.Lost food in fridge and had workmen around when trying to get ready to go out so not ideal but at least problem was fixed
Lovely pub in walking distance from cottage

Thank you Lorna for your recent review of Summer Hayes and to read that you had a lovely stay. We are very appreciative for your feedback regarding the AGA in the Kitchen, the property owner has confirmed that the AGA should be set on the lowest setting, and there is a sign to clarify this by the AGA. We apologise if this signage is not clear or visible. We provided you with the property managers contact details in your welcome letter for any problems or maintenance issues during your stay, and we are sorry that you were unable to contact them on the Friday evening. We are pleased that this issue was resolved on Saturday and that you were able to enjoy the rest of your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Cotswolds soon.

This is a beautifully decorated house, with a nice, cosy conservatory, where we had breakfast throughout the stay. The master room and the upper bedrooms are big and very tastefully decorated. The common bath on this floor is small but clean and sufficient.
The third bedroom on the ground floor is small ( for 1 person) and is attached with a powder room but with shower.
The kitchen is fully equipped.

The house is located in a peaceful lane ,& one can visit one of the best restaurants ( Broadway Brasserie),by a short walk.

In all one of the best experiences.

A quirky cottage in the beautiful Cotswolds.

Summer Hayes is perfectly placed within a short driving distance of many lovely Cotswolds villages and towns. Nearby Broadway is an absolute gem!

My husband and I met up with our daughter and son in law and son for a family meet up. Summer Hayes is in the pretty, peaceful village of Childswickham. Although there is not private parking, we didn’t have any problems parking 2 vehicles outside the cottage at all during the stay. Check in with the key box was simple. The cottage itself is a home from home with lots of lovely quirky features and added extras. Things like the books and games were a great bonus and we enjoyed using some of these. The living room is cosy but was perfectly fine for 5 adults, as was the conservatory, where we enjoyed sitting around the table playing games. The kitchen is well equipped and it was great to have a private garden where we made use of the BBQ and garden furniture. The master bedroom is beautiful but all 3 were comfortable and clean. (The bed in the master bedroom does creak as one review said, but it wasn’t a problem at all). The main shower room is modern with a powerful shower and it was very handy to have another shower for the 3rd bedroom downstairs. We would recommend the Childswickham Inn for a gorgeous Sunday Lunch and the Crown and Trumpet in Broadway for a traditional oldie worldie pub with traditional pub food. We would love to return in the future.

We had a lovely 2 night stay. Summer Hayes is a well presented property, fitted with everything you need for a short break. Plenty of toilet rolls and towels - a sign of a generous host! The location is perfect for a Cotswolds visit, not far from the high street so you can get food etc. The only drawback was the bed in the master bedroom. The bedframe was extremely creaky! I didn't sleep well for the 2 night stay only due to the fact the bed creaked ever so loudly even when I moved slightly; and this could be heard from the second bedroom. The mattress was also not firm and could do with replacing. I would give 5 stars for comfort if it hadn't been so creaky and if the mattress had not been very soft, which led to backache. We didn't use the third bedroom, as it was downstairs past the kitchen and my young daughters didn't want to be that far away from us so they all bunked in together in the second bedroom upstairs. Aside from the bed issue this is very lovely property which caters for all your needs. Its very well maintained and cleaned spotlessly. It's within a short driving distance of Sudeley Castle and also Broadway Tower. Take out the bed and its a 5star property, which I would recommend.

A deceptively spacious cottage in a very friendly village. Excellent location for exploring the northern Cotswolds.

The cottage was delightful and fully equipped to cover all our needs. The AGA stove was a great addition to the kitchen.

The comfort of the beds was the only thing that we found an issue with. The master bed was extremely noisy (creaking every time we moved) and the small double bed downstairs only had a 2 inch memory foam mattress which was not deep enough to protect from the wooden spars on the bed base.

Overall the property was delightful.
