We had a wonderful stay at Lilly Bee Cottage, the owners have lovingly restored this 17th century cottage with such charm & attention to detail. From the moment we walked in we started to unwind, we had the most wonderful, relaxing stay was all over far too quickly for our liking!
My only criticism is the owners have been let down by the cleaning team. The place needed a good dust - the coffee tables, bedside tables and kitchen table had clearly not been hadn't been touched since the previous guests and there were cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. The bedsheets and towels however were clean and fresh.

Beautiful cottage which immediately felt like home.
A Christmas tree was there to greet us and a pint of welcome milk!
We could not recommend the cottage and village enough.
Fabulous!

We had a really lovely stay - the cottage is beautifully presented and in a lovely village. It provided a great base for a visit to the Cotswolds.
Our only slight disappointment was that we had an issue with the lock on the front door which resulted in us having to climb out of one of the windows. These things happen- but we were surprised when the property manager said the issue started with the previous guests. It was a miss not to communicate the issue with us.

We so enjoyed our stay at Lily Bee Cottage. It was beautifully furnished with style. We loved everything about it. The kitchen facilities had a plentiful supply of crockery and appliances, a real home from home. My friend enjoyed a soak in the deep freestanding bath and the shower was great. Our beds were very comfortable with wonderful bed linen. The cottage is in a wonderful village, friendly with good facilities. We went to the Angel Cafe ( delicious) The Rattlebone Inn ( amazing Sunday lunch) and great walks. We visited Tetbury and experienced a lovely town, easy parking, dog friendly welcoming shops and amazing cafes and hotel food. Malmesbury was great too. We would highly recommend Stay Cotswold too, with easy and efficient booking process.

We really loved staying in Lily Bee Cottage, it is very comfortable, all of the fittings are of a very high standard and it’s very well equipped. A real home from home. The parking arrangements are absolutely fine, there’s always space. Sherston is a great little community, it is very convenient having a shop and several eateries within easy walking distance. And the residents are very friendly. We visited Tetbury, Cirencester and westonbirt, they are all within easy reach. Any questions regarding the cottage were dealt with quickly and efficiently and in a friendly manner. Wow would definitely stay again.

The cottage was beautifully decorated, it has everything you need. Lovely bed linen and comfortable bed, we had a wonderful break, the only issue was the cleanliness, lots of cobwebs and spiders in most corners and we found wood lice along the skirting boards. Given we couldn’t access the cottage until 5pm that’s long enough to thoroughly clean the place.

Thank you Michelle for your lovely review of Lilly Bee Cottage. We are delighted to read that the cottage was beautifully decorated and had everything you needed for your holiday with lovely bedlinen and a comfortable bed. Old period period cottages with low ceilings and beams attract woodlice and they have been particularly bad this summer, spiders and cobwebs also reappear as soon as they have been removed. We will pass your feedback onto the property mananger regarding the cleanliness. We hope to welcome you back to the Cotswolds soon.

Lovely well equipped Cotswold cottage.

We managed to book the beautiful Lily Bee cottage last minute, and very grateful it was available! It was situated in the best location, between villages and towns which were under 30 minutes away. The village itself has much to offer between cafes, pubs and a CO-OP for essentials! The cottage has been decorated to a very high standard, it’s absolutely gorgeous! The garden is wonderful, we enjoyed soaking up the summer weather whilst the doggos enjoyed running around the enclosed garden (added bonus for us doggo lovers). Thank you for our stay!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lilly Bee Cottage which had everything we needed. It was in a good location and parking on the High Street was okay. If I was being really picky the only thing missing would be some cushions for the outdoor seating as we did sit out a lot as it was lovely weather. But the lack of these didn't detract from enjoying everything else. Definitely would like to return in the future.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Lily Bee Cottage. The cottage itself is beautiful, it has all the amenities needed, and you can tell that the owners have put a lot of time and money in making it feel like a home away from home. We were sad to leave! The town is lovely, and we appreciated the “Sherston walking trails” book that was in the cottage - we did a walk a day from it. We would definitely return and stay again!

Delightful cottage, kitchen very well stocked with beautiful crockery and good hob/oven. Fridge wasn’t cold enough and the door needed a shove to close properly.

Lounge I believe needed a larger TV and also a single chair for lounging, the existing one is rather small. Garden is charming and beds comfortable with quality bed linen.

Bathroom is new and beautiful though there was a leak from the shower that affected the shower electrics which gave me a shock whilst showering, I did report this.

Radiators were a bit tricky to activate, in fact not sure main bedroom one worked, we used the excellent log fire which was very effective.

All in all a couple of issues but a good stay and central to the Cotswolds.

Lovely short break at Lilly Bee cottage. Really cosy, comfortable and well furnished. Such a bonus finding a cottage with a downstairs toilet as my brother has limited mobility. Also a lovely, good sized garden for our dog. Beds were very comfortable too.
I would highly recommend Lilly Bee cottage and hope to book again later in the year.

We had a lovely few days here. The village has everything you need, including a friendly pub with nice food. There are lots of walks from the village too. The decor of the cottage is beautiful and very relaxing. We were visiting family in Somerset and Bath as well as a short holiday and found the location perfect. Definitely one of the best cottages we have stayed in and we travel a lot in the UK.

We loved our stay at the cottage.
Excellent furnishings and very comfortable.
Only downside was the heating, we were not able to alter the settings and it was cold. The living room was very cold and we had to buy some logs from the local shop for the woodburner to keep warm.
We would love to return in the summer.

Very tastefully presented and loved the style. Beds very comfortable. I only gave a 4 for comfort as we did find the cottage extremely cold on arrival on the Friday and was 24hrs before we adjusted/warmed up. It may be the cottage had been empty for a few days before. I am originally from the Highlands and quite hardened to the cold. Otherwise absolutely recommend .
