The Old Post Office is a beautifully furnished cottage that is huge but still cozy inside. The equipment and utensils in the cottage are a very high standard and a pleasure to use. The road immediately outside the cottage leads to a 'dead end' so there is hardly any traffic passing immediately in the front of the cottage. There is a charming pub (The Howard Arms) about 50 yards away with an open fire. The food is good but a little expensive. There is also a second pub (The Red Lion) a couple of hundred yards down the road that is also worth a visit with good but less expensive food and good ...more
This cottage is wonderful, we had an amazing break, the location is ideal with shops, an places to eat near by. The property is a gem, unique, clean, tidy, and you really can relax after a day of walking and exploring, a home from home, we have no complaints at all and thoroughly recommend!
Such a lovely property, very well situated (only parking is a bit tricky) and nicely equipped also for longer stays. We will definitely book again :)
Brilliant property right in the heart of Stow. The property itself was immaculate, had everything we needed with all the home comforts. Definitely recommend.
We stayed in Manor Farm Cottage for just under two weeks and had such a wonderful stay. The property is absolutely beautiful, well located to explore the Cotswolds and have amazing views from the doorstep. The recommendations in the welcome book were also great, especially D'ambrosi in Stow-on-the-Wold.
Laura was a wonderful host, the property was fab and had lots of charm and the views were beautiful. Lovely relaxing stay.
We had a lovely stay in the cottage. It was very cosy and I felt we had everything we needed. The kitchen has everything that you could ever need to cook some breakfasts/meals and the bed was really comfortable. The location was ideal, there is a pub just opposite that prepares amazing food and it was only a 5 min drive to Bourton-on-the-water and we felt we could drive around the Cotswolds visiting lots of villages without having to drive long distances.
We booked both the Pool house and Meadow view for myself, my wife, our two young children and their 4 grandparents. We stayed in the Pool house whilst the grandparents took meadow view. First the hosts - they were very welcoming, showed us around and provided us with some welcome packages including Bottles of Prosecco and some freshly baked loaves. Provided their phone number and were very responsive when we had questions and wanted to use the pools. Provide a good book with some ideas of pubs etc in the area but also happy to know what you’ve done to know if there are other things worth re...more
Very pleasant stay at Slade Stables. Jane was very helpful in suggesting things to do as there was thick fog all week. Accommodation was great, lovely welcome basket provided and a comfy kingsize bed.
We loved our stay at Aurora. Such a beautiful location. Perfect for a quiet escape in the countryside. The hut has everything you need, plus the bed is so cosy and comfy. We can't wait to go back again soon. Highly recommend staying there.
The barn and surrounding area was beautiful. We met the owners a couple of times and they were lovely. The barn is finished to a really high standard and we would highly recommend it.
Ridge Barn is situated very much in a rural setting with only a few other properties, surrounded by farmland. This property is spacious and comfortable, there were eight of us , plus a dog, and we had plenty of room for different activities . Facilities were good and the kitchen adequately furnished with plenty of crockery etc. Also there was a selection of board games. Because of the weather we did not investigate any local walks which was a pity, however we enjoyed visiting Moreton in Marsh, Broadway and Chipping Camden and spent time walking there.

Spring cottage was a perfect cosy cottage for our stay in the Cotswolds. Loved the log fire, aga and comfy beds and our meal in the Ebrington arms was great. Our walks into Chipping Campden were picturesque and easy. We are returning to Ebrington in the new year - sadly Spring cottage is not available or we would have booked it!
Wonderful short stay everything there that you could ask for glorious wood burning stove comfortable bed every amenity in the kitchen with quite a few extras well worth the money in the idilic hideaway. Thank you to the property manager Coral
Wood Cottage is an idea place to stay for those looking for quiet, warm, cosy and clean accommodation in Fairford. Everything is pretty new and the cottage is a little home from home. We stayed a week with our dog, found the property was perfect for us, and provided everything we needed. There are lovely walks right from the front gate, parking in the road outside is easy and the Marlborough Arms and Bull Hotel are within an easy walk and provide some tasty food.
We had a lovely long weekend in this gorgeous apartment right in the heart of Stow On The Wold. The apartment was pleasantly very well equipped so had we stayed longer, we would have had everything we needed (washing machine, dishwasher, clothes airer, iron and ironing board, a huge variety of cooking equipment etc) The apartment was very clean, the beds had wonderful pillows and duvets and there were soft fluffy towels that actually smelt of fabric softener. There were some extra touches on arrival such as a pint of milk in the fridge, a packet of biscuits to go with the tea and coffee in the...more
"The Smithy" is a very comfortable short-stay location, right in the centre of Chipping Norton. It provides ready access to an array of shops, restaurants, and pubs, with easy access to branded high-street supermarkets too. The property is a three-bedroom house, which suited our family size, with all bedrooms providing a good size. The kitchen is excellently stocked with all cutlery and china, with all facilities one would expect for cooking and catering for a small family (microwave, cooker, hob, etc). Parking is really convenient, either on the adjacent street as we did, or else, by usin...more
Great house and lovely location, very peaceful. Wifi just needs to be faster apart from that perfect.
Lovely cottage, very well maintained in a great location, nice back garden for our pooch, loads of walking from the door and a good pub 2 minutes away.. what else do you want! Thanks and hopefully be back..
Had everything you could need. A very impressive interior with plenty of room for a large group. We had a lovely stay
Lovely weekend in the Cotswolds exploring what it has to offer - and it didn't disappoint. Stow on the wold as base was an excellent choice.
Had a lovely few days stay at Shakespeare cottage. The house is 5 min walk to the centre of the town. It was well equipped and modern. I would definitely recommend and would book again
Absolutely loved the cottage - super clean and had everything we needed. Location was great too, 5 minutes walk to the high street. Lots of lovely pubs ! Just what we wanted.
Beautiful property with plenty of space so the family could spread out. Bedrooms were very comfortable and the facilities were very good. Location was great with two pubs within walking distance which was perfect. Parking is very tight but we parked in the road opposite without any difficulty. Highly recommend
Superb accommodation. Cottage delightfully decorated and furnished with excellent facilities and equipment with nothing lacking. Great location in a lovely village previously unknown to us. Parking on the road wasn't a problem as we found spaces outside the cottage most of the time. Everything very clean. Good communication with StayCotswold and MyClean.
We found The Farmhouse to be an ideal property for our family break, can highly recommend this property.
We stayed here from Friday to Monday with friends. The house is just outside the centre of Stroud which is a gorgeous Cotswold village. The house was lovely, a great size, tucked away surrounded by quiet gardens with stunning views and lots of mod cons. We took advantage of using the spacious kitchen which was really well stocked and made homemade pizzas the first night. This followed by a homely roast of the Sunday. Sally was wonderful throughout the booking process and was really attentive and friendly. There is a wonderful lighting system throughout the whole house as well as el...more
An absolutely stunning property, beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need, from the most incredible fridge to exceptionally comfortable beds with crisp white linen. The village itself is very attractive and the house is just a short walk from the village green which has a playground and a nearby pub. The only thing we felt that the house needed was to make it a wee bit more child friendly: the high chair was dirty (we left it spotless!), childproof gates for the stairs would be useful and also a warning strip on the step on the upstairs bathroom. Aside from that, I c...more
The Brewery is extremely comfortable, spacious, quiet,, centrally located. Quite frankly a lovely destination for a short stay in Burford. A warm welcome from Simon, the owner, some extra little hospitable touches, and a great property to rent.
My partner and I enjoyed a fabulous week long out of season (November) break at North House. Bourton-on-the-Water is not only a beautiful place but is centrally located to visit other places of interest within the Cotswolds. The accommodation itself was immaculately clean and extremely comfortable - a real ‘home from home’. Lovely pubs, shops, restaurants and take-a-ways all on your doorstep and the off street parking a huge bonus. Would definitely recommend. Many thanks to hosts Suzie and Adam.
This cottage has been a home away from home. Very peaceful beautiful location with a beautiful well kept garden. The house was spotless and very well taken care of with quality kitchen supplies and a really nice atmosphere. The bed was very comfortable and well made with a wonderful duvet. The whole cottage felt spacious and cozy at the same time. The washing machine is an absolute treasure and overal the facilities are just really pleasant. Great shower with fantastic water pressure. The location is quiet and peaceful, squirrels roam around in the garden with views of an apple tree...more
We had a fabulous few days away in the Cotswolds, to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. The Reading Room in Fulbrook was just the right blend of homely comforts without clutter. The service from StayCotswold made a refreshing change from the automated larger companies that seem to be swallowing up the little people. You still get the personal touch without them being intrusive. We'll definitely use them again. Thankyou to StayCotswold and the owners of the Reading Room for your hospitality We loved our stay and the interaction with yourselves and the owners made us 'nostalgic' for ho...more
Lovely apartment and fabulous location. Facilities are good. One minor thing missing…bath mat and hand towels would be handy. Otherwise good place to stay. Thank you.
All as expected in terms of quality cleanliness and facilities. Lots of nice little extras and delightful Cotswold feeling . Great bedrooms and kitchen garden and living rooms! In fact excellent All round :) good games barn as well! Will return soon:)
Lovely cottage. Beautiful garden.Really enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend it. Ideally situated in Stow and very close to nearby villages like Kingham .
We had such a fantastic weekend in coppers barn. The house was beautiful with everything you would ever need. Plenty of space for us all with the added bonus of every room having its own bathroom. Lovely and quiet location with lots to do in the garden. Would definitely look to come back again
Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay at Ostlers. The cottage was warm and cosy, and decorated beautifully for Christmas. It is located conveniently along the main street in Burford and 15-30 minutes away from the other lovely Cotswold villages. We really enjoyed our stay which was absolutely delightful and perfect!
One of the best holiday properties we’ve stayed in. Fabulous location, well equipped, spotlessly clean, every comfort you could ask for. Beds super big and comfy. Log burners nice touch with welcome starter firewood. Would absolutely recommend……
My daughter and I stayed here for a birthday treat and it is a fabulous property, right in the centre of Stow. Everything you could possibly want is on your doorstep and also close to other villages and attractions. Very spacious and comfortable property, and it also felt very secure being in the enclosed courtyard overnight. Great communication from StayCotswold. We will definitely book again!
Rose Tree Cottage is a lovely place to stay for visiting the South Cotswolds. It is well equipped, and cosy.
What a beautiful little cottage for a weekend away. Warm and welcoming, with a perfectly equipped kitchen and comfy beds and sofas. We had a really relaxing break. The log burner was easy to use for cosy nights in and the garden is so pretty, even in late autumn. Parking was no problem at all and we managed to park on the street outside the cottage every day. We appreciated the parking permit though and it was great to know there was a private car park to use with the permit if we needed it. The little treats Alison left for our arrival were so welcoming and such a nice touch. We would...more
Lovely cottage in quaint Cotswold village with 2 decent pubs serving good food. Cottage was lovely with all the mod cons you would expect at home. Highly recommended.
Really spacious accommodation-clean really well equipped. Absolutely perfect for a family gathering. Would love to visit again
We loved our weekend at Folly View! The house is beautifully presented and has all the tools for a great chilled weekend. The location is perfect for walking to the river Thames and waking up in the countryside. The kitchen is a great space for entertaining and has all the equipment needed for cooking if you are staying in. The hot tub is a great feature and the garden is perfect for dogs and children to run around. We will definitely recommend to our friends and family and consider booking the house again in the future. Thank you :)
What a wonderful, chilled out weekend at Midsummer Cottage. The property is immaculate and accommodated our party of 4 comfortably. This property is in an ideal beautiful location, within easy access of some great villages and towns. I would have no hesitatiion whatsoever of recommending this fabulous cottage to other guests. We would love to visit in the warmer months as it was so pretty and the garden would be so nice to sit out in. Thank you Midsummer for such a memorable weekend. Best Regards Sue, Steve, Prue and Mark
We had a lovely stay at Rainbow Barns! The location was perfect, close enough to the village to walk (about 20 mins) but far enough to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The accommodation itself was amazing, furniture, kitchen etc was all fairly new. I took a couple of points off for cleanliness as we found we needed to wash some of the dishes before using them, there was also a couple of cobwebs in corners of the rooms. I feel this is really picky in what was otherwise a lovely stay, and we did arrive at the cottage earlier than the advised check in, so the owner may not have completed the ...more
What to say about the most perfect holiday? Beautiful house in a stunning location. Lovely and peaceful. Can't wait to visit again.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Chapel - a quirky place in a fantastic location! Everything you need is provided. The only negative (which was unfortunately a big one for us) was the bed - the king size bed dipped so low in the middle that it was impossible for us both to sleep in, and we had to sleep in separate rooms all week! We also didn’t realise that the property is essentially one of a number of flats/conversions in the same building - we have a young baby, and wouldn’t have necessarily chosen a property with direct neighbours had we known. Aside from this we had a lovely time.
Really cosy clean place.. all the mod cons and comfortable cosy bed and gorgeous spot in a cute village .
Beautiful little cottage tucked away in a pretty part of the Cotswolds. Well equipped and tastefully decorated. We especially enjoyed the fabulous log burner!
Such a sweet little getaway. The town of Honeybourne is small with just exactly what you need in it and nothing more. Perfect for a peaceful oasis without having to travel far to get simple things such as grocceries. The cottage was just adorable and the owners left us helpful information and a nice bottle of wine. So appreciated!
Outstanding 4 night stay for a family of five & our dog. Beautiful setting, great location for local pubs and walks. A cosy cottage and perfect for us.
We had a wonderful 4 night stay (2 of us and our dog) in this very cosy cottage. Highly recommended as a comfortable living space in the heart of Winchcome. Fab location for exploring the Cotswolds but lovely walks in and around Winchcome if wanting to stay close by. We hope to come back.
This property is small but the perfect base for visiting the beautiful Cotswolds. It is a very short walk from the apartment to the beautiful shops, cafes, restaurants etc in Stow on the Wold. The bedroom, kitchenette and seating area is all in one room with a small shower room off the main room. The apartment was warm at all times (very welcoming on a cold and rainy weekend!) and the constant hot water was a bonus. The shower was great but the door could do with repair. A towel rail and bath mat would also be welcome in the shower room. The kitchenette was fully equipped with everything y...more
Church mews was hidden away in a corner but great for us. Shop pub restaurants about, clean and welcoming a little cold in November takes a long time to warm up. Nice welcome pack.
A lovely long weekend with family and friends relaxing and celebrating! Loved the spacious kitchen….everybody got stuck in with the cooking! Gorgeous smell from the wood fire and the hot tub was an added bonus! The property was well laid out and the beds are so comfortable. Lovely added personal extras to make our stay more welcoming. Will definitely book again.
Fabulous holiday cottage in the Cotswolds - we stayed for a long weekend at Benson Cottage (2 couples) and had a lovely time. The cottage is a perfect size, warm, and with high quality fixtures and fittings. The decor is calm yet cosy. Benson cottage is well equipped with everything you could need for a weekend/week away. Only downside was the local pub being closed (due to a fire) so there was no restaurant or pub within walking distance - but not really a major issue!
Just come back from a wonderful long weekend at Landgate House in the Cotswolds. It was perfect from start to finish for my 70th Birthday. The children loved the cinema room and had great fun playing cricket in the huge garden. We had a lovely celebratory meal at the Eight Bells Inn Chipping Camden where the staff were friendly and very helpful even providing custard which wasn’t on the menu. I have hundreds of photos of this wonderful weekend which I shall cherish. Thank you everyone at Stay Cotswold. I would thoroughly recommend.
As soon as we stepped into the cottage,we had a good feeling about it. We wish we’d booked for slightly longer than 4 nights. The bed was so.. comfortable. The cottage is tranquil which is exactly what we needed. We drove out to several places including Stow on the Wold,Cirencester and Bourton on the Water which we still love even though visited these areas several times. We appreciated the welcome hamper. Thank you.
Fabulous Short Break Will is a Great Host and very informative about local area and his passion for his farm. Cottage very warm and comfortable Well equipped. Comfy beds. Amazing views Thank you
As a mixed group of young families and couples, the comfortable cottages at Goodlake barns were perfect for our annual reunion. Each of the cottages were well equipped, beautifully kept and very comfortable and surrounded a communal courtyard which was safe and secure for the kids to roam freely. We used the barn as the main house for the weekend which was a great size offering a large lounge and kitchen suitable for 18 adults and 7 kids. The HUB was the communal dining area, which had basic furnishings in comparison to the rest of the properties however it was functional and well equipped for...more
Great location, great cottage! This was our summer holiday in the Cotswolds. It was a lovely little cottage very close to many towns and attractions. It was a perfect size for the two of us. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Lovely garden too(just needed a couple of loungers)! We had a wonderful week!
Hill View House is truly stunning. You really feel like you're staying in a home, rather than just a house. It is very well-equipped and the kitchen has pretty much every utensil and gadget you could require. The garden is huge which is perfect for kids and dogs to run around, and plenty of parking at the front for multiple cars. There were however a few little niggles that meant I did not leave a 5-star review. The welcome book was not left out so we spent a good 30 mins hunting for it. Inside the welcome book it tells you at the everhot (Aga-type oven) is left permanently on - howev...more
Our booking was for 11 people; Grandpa (myself), my three children and partners plus four young grandchildren. The accommodation was excellent with no more than two per bedroom and en-suite for everyone. The living/social area was enormous, a vast kitchen with dining space for all, two semi-open plan lounges and still more space for the children's games. The patio with a table for 12 was excellent for evenings and there was plenty of space for the children to run around safely. Parking space is also plentiful. The location is certainly secluded, surrounded by fields with the nearest dwe...more
Could not fault Star Cottage definitely the best holiday cottage we have stayed in. The customer service from StayCotswold was excellent, would recommend booking through this company.
Great location and good amenities though there are a few things that should be noted or can be improved. The windows are single glazed I think so if you're a light sleeper and in the front bedroom I'd reccommend ear plugs. Single glazing also means it gets cold inside quite easily. The hot water took several minutes to kick in for all of us, and at one point stopped when a tap was turned on elsewhere. The shower heads are fixed from the ceiling making it hard to have a body shower. Despite the rest of the property being clean, the beams in the bedrooms (which are very much reachable) w...more
Really enjoyed our stay at Vespers. Lovely sheppards hut. Great views down to the Thames. Lovely walks on the Thames as well. Good pub The Plough at Kelmscott & The Trout Inn at Tadpole Bridge. Very peaceful.
Blossom barn is a perfect place to stay. It was very clean and great location, this is our second time to stay there.
Spent mon -friday at guinea cottage it is so cute . The beds are so comfortable , and my dog was safe in the enclosed garden area . The owner was very pleasant and helpull he met us on meet and greet as he lives close to hand too ..loved seeing the chickens & guinea fowl in the garden early morning . A stunning little cottage and really enjoyed our stay . Definitely reccomend it 100 %
A lovely cottage in the centre of village surrounded by walks, pubs restaurants and shops. Well equipped and cosy wood burner for the evenings. Added bonus of parking.
The old candle shop was well presented and well located it is finished to a high standard and a big bonus was the off road parking the hot tub was a great addition and a nice out side area as we had a dog with us and fully secure for the him The property is just off the high street that has pubs restaurants and shops so very handy The only thing I would recommend is replacement of sofas as the sofa bed is very uncomfortable and small chesterfield is very low the arm chair is very comfortable I had to clean out log burner as it had been used and some cutlery and cooking utensils were not ...more
A great location for a special birthday / anniversary celebration. We really enjoyed all the facilities provided
This was a last minute booking that was handled with ease. The cottage was next to a stable for horses, which were a sight to see! Definitely no issues with disturbances from them. And the garden view was beautiful, best in the summer time I suppose where you can relax and soak in the view. They had a good heating system where it didn't take long for us to feel toasty indoors. Overall, it was a perfect cottage that had all the amenities we needed.
Prince Barn was absolutely perfect for our stay, with plenty of space for us. It was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The beds were huge, comfortable and had crisp fresh bedding on them. The showers were hot and powerful with plenty of towels supplied. The directions given were easily followed and pick up of the key was very straightforward.
There were 8 of us staying. All instructions were clear, explanations was great, location awesome. What’s not to like!
We had a lovely few days at Peppercorn Cottage albeit parking at the property can be tight. We chose to park in a nearby lane. The accommodation and outside space was lovely. The beds were super comfy, residents in the village were very friendly. Plenty to do in the surrounding area and our visit to Westonbirt Arboretum was the hi-light. We were woken on Friday morning with a gentleman knocking in a For Sale sign so unsure of the future of Peppercorn Cottage. Glad we managed to stay though…..
Nice property in a good location for touring the Cotswolds and the Thames Valley. We enjoyed watching the big planes going over the house into Brize Norton and the occasional noise was not a problem. It was quite entertaining. The property is tastefully decorated and has plenty of windows to enjoy the country views. The location is very quiet except for the occasional plane noise. It is only a couple of miles from Whitney with a good selection of shops and supermarkets. There are some improvements that could make it perfect. The property would benefit from an information book for ope...more
We had a 3 night family stay to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday. There were 10 of us (8 adults, 2 children) and we all had a lovely time. The house is very comfortable and well equipped and in an ideal location being about a 10 minute walk from the village. Bourton itself is a lovely place to visit and we also found the service from StayCotswold excellent.
We had a wonderful weekend break at Quaint End! We visit Cheltenham Races every November and it was the perfect location. Only 35min to the Racecourse, lots of nice walk on the door step and a cosy pub in the village! The cottage itself is absolutely beautiful! Done up to a high standard, 2 fire places and an AGA which was fab!! Kids loved the quirkiness of the cottage too! We shall be back!!
Lovely house. Could have done with an instruction book and Recycling facilities. Highly recommended.
Nice cottage in a lovely setting and in a central location. Unfortunately, the cottage felt very cold on arrival as it was it was late/dark on a cold, damp Autumn day. However it had warmed up lovely by next morning and we had a comfortable stay there, enjoying the log burner. However, I imagine the cottage would be glorious and at its best in other seasons, as there was a lovely outdoor space, especially good for dogs to run around. We especially loved our daily visits from the owners friendly little dog. Would love to return in late spring or summer.
We chose Halfway House as a location for a family gathering for our Daughter's 30th Birthday. The cottage was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Location was ideal with only a short walk into the town of Broadway. Just a few Maintenance issues and attention to detail prevented us from giving it a 5. Communication from Say Cotswold was excellent
Lovely snug cottage, with a perfect little walk to the village, and to roam the streets. Lots of nice eating places.
We had a lovely stay at Foden Cottage. It was perfect, clean and beautiful. The kitchen had all the equipment you could need, with the quality of the utensils very high. We would happily return! The only minor thing that I would mention is that there was no carpet or carpet runner on the stairs, which meant that they were slightly dangerous and a bit slippery. We expected this in an old cottage so it wasn’t a problem, but a bit of carpet on them may go some way to alleviate this issue!
Stumbled across this company online, found just what we were looking for, nice clean accommodation in the centre of Stow with parking! We would definitely stay here again, very good price!
We had a lovely stay at Blenheim Cottage, which is in an excellent location in Woodstock. The cottage has been well thought out and is beautifully decorated. The information email sent before arrival was excellent with lots of recommendations for local pubs and restaurants. Thank you for a lovely short break.
Second time at this cottage/barn: lovely house, great environment, perfect for our family of 6 adults, one child and a dog. We returned because we enjoyed it so much last year. Came here for a week to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. Our one concern, quite a significant one, related to being contacted by representatives from both Stay Cotswold and Quince, simply to pass on a complaint made by someone staying in one of the other two barns. In fact both representatives had incorrectly directed it to us - it was meant for the third barn. This may be partly a result of the two companies referrin...more
The Old Garage was superb. The decor and the homely feel it had really gave it value. The hot tub was an awesome addition to the place giving you yet another level of value. The hosts (StayCotswold) were really good with communication throughout the course of my booking and all the way up to the stay itself. Plenty of information to go off to make your trip even better too. The Christmas tree and decorations gave a nice festive feel to the place as a little bonus. My only idea for improvement would be to invest in some sort of rubber mat for around the hot tub as it was very muddy ther...more
The property was very spacious inside but has very limited outside space. When we arrived one of the doors had been left open. Not sure if this was the cleaners or the owner. But it wasn’t a great start to our stay! The property cleanliness on arrival could have been better. Not all of the drawers had been cleaned out, there were sweet wrappers left behind. There were also a lot of dead flies on the staircase and some of the window ledges. The lighting in the two living rooms could be improved- we found it very dim. But that maybe personal preference. The seating in each of the livi...more
Lovely barn conversion in a lovely village, quiet but walking distance from Stow. The bedrooms are spacious, although the mattress in the main bedroom could do with a topper as it was a bit hard.
My only complaint is over the different naming of the property on your site and the owners' site. We thought we had booked Heron Barn, to find the property was also called Rose Barn, to find on arrival the signage referred to Roebucks Rose Barn. It would also have been useful to know that "Quince" was a company run by the owners. Otherwise we were pleased that the property provided all we needed for a family get together.
Fantastic stay for my uncle’s 70th birthday - idyllic cottage in perfect location. We loved the outdoor space for al fresco dining and garden games, and felt very relaxed in the space. All of the rooms and living room were very comfortable, and the cottage was well equipped with books and games and extra little touches but it would have been good to have a few glasses etc. in the event of having all six guests. We also struggled to get any hot water despite the instructions provided so had a couple of cold showers and cold water for washing up. Given the cottage was very expensive, it would al...more
Lovely bright cosy cottage. Plenty of space, hot water and well equipped. Well placed for visits to the Cotswold gems, and a short walk to a fab pub. Only negative is no parking close as the roads around the cottage were jammed with cars over the weekend.
We had the most amazing weekend in the Cotswolds and this cosy little cottage was the nicest place to come back to after a day of exploring.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have a very good time and were disappointed with the condition of the cottage. Prior to arrival we had been told that the BBQ wasn’t working. Then, while at the cottage the dishwasher didn’t work and, after being told it would be fixed asap, it remained unfixed for the duration of our stay. We also noted that the fridge wasn’t working properly (the milk went sour) and this was also not looked at. The kitchen wasn’t comfortable to sit in as a family as the table was uneven and the chairs were dirty and uncomfortable. All this meant that we didn’t utilise the kitchen ver...more
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 repla...more
Charming cottage with period features, comfortable beds and well equipped for an enjoyable stay. We particularly liked the open countryside views from the top of the garden. The cottage was in a great location to explore the cotswolds, being within 30 mins drive of bourton on the water, the slaughters, bibury and Sudeley castle. The front of the cottage was right on the roadside but the traffic was quiet later in the day
Very close to town. Lovely beds and bathroom -- very comfortable------------------------------------
Only drawback was a fan noise that was very loud at night, particularly in twin bedded room. Sounded like a mighty storm enough to keep occupants awake. We couldn’t find out what or where it came from. Otherwise all good.
We had a lovely long weekend at Little Mullions. This was our first visit to the Cotswolds and the cottage is perfectly located, near the buzzing town of Bourton, with easy circular walking trails - and with a car we were able to visit different landmarks in no time. Cottage was cosy and exactly what we needed for a family getaway.
This cottage was a perfect location for our annual cousins get together this year. It had loads of character and felt both spacious and cosy, and there was plenty of room for the ten of us to socialise and eat together. The location was beautiful and we found lots of great walks starting from the cottage.
We decided to take a last minute break away and found Nursery House online. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised by the condition of the property which was beautiful throughout. As a result we had a really lovely and much needed break. Would definitely recommend to others.
What we liked: - quiet, cosy, charming cottage in traditional Cotswolds style - lovely garden with outdoor seating and treehouse for children - thoughtful welcome basket with milk, tea, coffee, bread, butter jam, yoghurt and delicious cakes from local baker - well equipped kitchen with all you need to cook and clean - beautifully furnished - Wi-Fi was good - extra touches like diffusers, nice soaps - easy parking around the corner - helpful instructions for location and entering the house What could have been better: - kitchen lights weren’t working so it was dark - beds were ...more
Location, layout and expectations of property were matched. A couple of negatives….upstairs master bedroom low wall plug sockets did not work (3 out of 4) and this was reported to 24/7 housekeeping mobile no. within one hour of arrival via voicemail but no response received from any source…had to rely on ceiling light only in that room. Secondly there are no accessible windows in upper floor bedrooms which results in limited fresh air in these rooms..understand health and safety aspect but does not make for comfortable night sleep. Overall though a very pleasant and peaceful property where...more
The house is beautiful, I’ve never seen such a fully equipped kitchen in a rental property and you won’t want for anything here. It’s a very spacious well thought out home and the garden is fully enclosed so perfect for travelling with a dog. The only issue we had - though sadly one that marred our weekend and would stop us returning - was parking. It’s advertised as parking for 2 cars. The email with the instructions you receive the week before then says parking for 2 ‘medium’ sized cars and if they don’t fit in the garage then there is plenty of on street parking or a free car park nearb...more
July cottage is ideally located in the beautiful village of Ilmington. A brilliant location to explore all around the Cotswolds. There are two great pubs within walking distance, both with roaring fires and a great shop/cafe too. The cottage was very well equipped, comfy and beautifully presented. The garden looked great even in winter! The log burner was a welcome addition each night and you get a starter of wood. It does say in the info pack more wood is in the shed, just pay into the honesty box, but for our stay there was none provided unfortunately.
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.
The cottage is well equipped down stairs. The tray of goodies on arrival were excellent and very appreciated. On arrival we noted that the outside area was not well swept and the chairs round the bar area need repainting. One of the cushion boxes was left open and the cushions we’re full of water, we reported this and attempted to dry off the cushions. One of the wooden loungers was broken. Apart from the main bedroom the furniture in the others needs updating or at least proper bed side tables provided, there is no hanging space in the top bedroom. Finally it would have been useful to ...more
Lovely cottage in Winchcombe, within walking distance to all the shops, Pubs and Cafes. Would highly recommend.
THIS BARN IS JUST THE PERFECT PLACE TO SPEND TIME WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY, 6 ADULTS, 3 CHILDREN, 1 BABY AND THE DOG ALL UNDER ONE ROOF. PERFECT!!! EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS THERE FOR YOU. THE LOCATION IS STUNNING. WE WILL DEFINATELY BE RETURNING!
Cosy nest in a beautiful location. Kitchen could do with a few more pans and oven trays. But overall a very enjoyable stay.
This is our 2nd time at Grey Gables Barn. It's such a fabulous location (5 mins to the centre of Bourton-on-the-water) which is the most beautiful location. 3 families stayed together and there was enough room for us all. Lovely touches with wine, eggs, butter and cake left for us. House is clean and warm. I'm sure we'll be visiting again! Thank you!
Flower Barn was perfect for our family get together whilst attending a wedding nearby. We hired Prince Barn too and both accommodations were perfect. Very clean, fresh crisp linen and towels and plenty of space in large airy rooms. We sat outside at the table and chairs provided and although we didn’t use the bbq, commented that it was a top quality one. Would definitely consider staying in these barns again.
Norton cottage is a wonderful retreat in Chipping Norton. Very close to the town centre. Beautifully decorated, tasteful soft furnishings and furniture. Lovely warm house with the bonus of a gas log burner. Comfortable beds and quality bedding. All in all would thoroughly recommend. Thanks
It’s a lovely place, just the position not that friendly to people without car. Would recommend to others.
Laurel Tree Cottage is a stunning property, tastefully decorated. It has a beautiful garden with excellent playground equipment for the children. It sleeps 11, and we were a group of seven, including two small children, so we had loads of space. It's a wonderful house for a game of hide and seek! We appreciated the welcome pack of butter, eggs and sourdough bread from the excellent deli located in the village, we loved the food and ambiance at both the Old Post Office Cafe and the Hollow Tree Inn. We were disappointed that one of the children found some dirty underwear in their bedroom,...more
We stayed for 4 days over October half term. The cottage is lovely and worked perfectly for us with our teenage son and my Dad and dog. We used the cottage as a base driving to different villages throughout the Cotswolds each day. The cottage was fully equipped to cater for our needs cooking as required and in range for local delivery drivers. We awoke one morning to find a young deer in the garden!
Booked for the Log Burning Stove, not disappointed, have fields close by for walking our dog was a bonus.
It was a stunning property, even nicer in real life than the photos. Very spacious and great walks right on your doorstep.
Stayed here for a wedding in Stow-on-the-wold. Really nice property, all rooms clean and well looked after. Plenty of car parking space. Lovely garden and surrounding area.
Cottage was in a lovely location looks stunning from outside, sofa was not comfortable and the throw covering the sofa was full of dog hairs cutlery was dirty. Would be good to have spare battery's as we were struggling to use TV remote. Bathroom needs some work on it.
Wonderful stay in a traditional cottage in the Cotswolds. Great location in a very picturesque village. Beds comfy, kitchen well equipped and lounge with wood burner very cosy. Some of the furniture like dining room chairs however could do with being replaced!
We loved Honey Cottage. It was perfect for our 2 night get away with our dogs. The cottage is beautifully decorated and comfortable. You can walk straight out of the cottage and across fields to a lovely pub on the river. We didn’t use it but ‘The Goose’ and paddle boards down by the river would be great if we return with a group. The managers replied promptly to enquiries before check in and the welcome wine and crumpets was a lovely touch. We would definitely recommend Honey Cottage.
A lovely early autumn weekend break at The Old Farmhouse, with our 2 children and their partners. Communication with StayCotswold was very good from booking to the end of our stay. The Old farmhouse is a beautiful old house with a lot of character. Beware low beams in the top bedroom! Spotless , warm and welcoming and has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Plenty of space throughout and lovely to eat in a proper dining room for a change and then relax in the sitting room with the wood burner going. Busier road than we anticipated but still slept very well. Beautiful a...more
Had a lovely stay here, close enough to shops, bars, cafes but not too close to be affected by the main road noise. The stairs are steep but fine if you are careful. Sadly there wasn't a starter pack of fuel left for us which would have been welcome as we arrived late on a cold, wet evening. The house got very cosy once it was lit and the heating on. Might also have been nice for the outside light to have been left on, especially during winter. As other people have said, there are certain areas that need some attention. The lounge window could do with a covering as people do look in on t...more
Lovely typical Cotswold stone property in a great location with attractive gardens. Very warm and homely internal accommodation but now a little tired and in need of some TLC. (Deep clean and decoration?) Lounge OK for 4 adults but 6 a squeeze. Poor access drive, which needs more detailed directions, now becoming very muddy due to adjacent earth moving activities (needs monitoring)
We have stayed at this property a few times several years ago and always found it very clean and in a good location for us. However this time we were disappointed with it. The bathroom had mould on the tiles and when we used the shower, the bathroom floor flooded. We called the number that was given to us and the next day a man came to unblock the drain in the shower and put some bleach down the drain and on the tiles. He also came back the next day and cleaned the tiles more thoroughly. All of this should have been done prior to our stay!!!! Most disappointing. It was obvious that the ...more
The cottage is cosy but a good size all round with ample room for 6. It is positioned in a quiet village with a pub (unfortunately closed while we were there) but very close to Cirencester and surrounded by beautiful little villages. We had a wonderful stay but would advise you to check if you have trouble with stairs as they are very steep.
Lovely cottage was great for all the family to be together for a special birthday, the stone floors were not very clean as toddler socks get very dirty, and could do with two fridges, and two towels per person .but we had a great time.
We had a family weekend in the Cotswolds. The cottage is lovely, warm and comfortable and great location right in the town of Stow on the Wold but on the expensive side (£926 for 29hours for 7 adults, 2 children and a baby). My sister had made a 3 hour trip down with a tiny baby who needed changing and arrived 15mins early at 4:45pm (check-in at 5pm). She was met with a very rude reception from the owner about this but we though ok fair enough a bit strict but they were slightly early. However when it came to checking out the owner and cleaners were waiting outside from 9:40am when check out w...more
