Beautiful, well maintained property and the owner even put up the Christmas decorations for our stay. We loved the big master bedroom with the en-suite. The £10 voucher to spend at the local community shop is a good idea. Big kitchen to cook in and excellent pubs within walking distance.
It would be a good idea to provide more kitchen towels, more mugs ( and bigger mugs), bin bags and more dishwasher tablets.

This is an absolutely beautiful cottage in a beautiful village.
The large kitchen was a wonderful place for all 6 of us to gather. Everyone had plenty of room to spread out too in the comfortable bedrooms and well appointed bathrooms. We loved the useful boot/utility room.
We arrived in the dark and the view of the village when we awoke the next morning was a wonderful surprise. We visited the lovely and well stocked village shop and had delicious cake and coffee in the cafe.

This was a perfect cottage for our family get together. We are all over sixty so four bedrooms and four bathrooms was great and so no need to share. The bedrooms were very comfortable, generous sized beds good bed linen and fluffy thick towels. The showers were good with plenty of hot water. The kitchen was well equipped we would have liked a colander and my brother a small washing up bowl for glasses but generously and thoughtfully equipped. The outlook onto the garden was light and airy so though it was rainy at times we had a lovely view and additional seating to sit and read was great. In fact we used the kitchen in this way more than the snug. The parking at the cottage was good yes we could get 4 vehicles in but a bit of a squeeze but again an electric charging point was a great addition. This is an excellent venue for a break in the Cotswolds, not far to Moreton in the Marsh, Burford and Stratford and great local walks too. I think for grown up family get togethers or friends meeting up for a weekend away this is a lovely lovely place to stay and would definitely return.

Gardners Cottage is beautiful. So much thought has gone in to making it a comfortable, homely, spacious and welcoming holiday 'home' (which is how it felt). We relaxed into it straight away. The decor and furnishings are stylish and tasteful. All the bedrooms/bathrooms are top quality, and every where spotless. We really enjoyed our short stay there. As a family, we know Ilmington well (a very special village, one of the best). With the combination of the two, you could not fail to have a very lovely holiday. I shall certainly be booking again.

We stayed at the most beautiful cottage in Ilmington. It was incredible. Everything we could possibly need in a property was there.
We will 100% be coming back to this stunning property. The local pub also had amazing food, The Howard Arms. A star accommodation. Thank you for a super weekend stay.

We are a group of 7 friends who were celebrating our annual weekend away together and chose Gardners Cottage for its location, facilities and its attractive presentation on the website. We were all delighted that it exceeded our expectations. The house has been renovated and refurbished to the highest standards and everything we needed was provided. The owner and his son made themselves known to us, to be contacted in case of any problems - pleased to say there weren’t any. We have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful property and would definitely stay there again if visiting the area.

Gardeners cottage has been lovingly renovated with excellent attention to detail. It is ideal as a quiet get away or as a base to explore the delightful surrounding Cotswolds. Presentation, cleanliness, and communication we couldn't fault. We would certainly recommend to any family or friends.

We rented this prooerty to get my children and their partners together, all under one roof and at the same time. We definitely achieved this in absolute comfort and luxury. The property was as described if not better. The village, locals, walks abd location were amazing.
What can I say, I would definitely recommend and I would definitely stay again.
Many thanks for being an amazing host.

We had a wonderful stay at Gardners Cottage! There was plenty of space for all 7 adults, 1 baby and dog. The cottage is beautiful and it was nice to be able to learn about its history. All appliances and furnishings are top notch. We had great weather so were able to make use of the stunning garden and BBQ. The hosts were so welcoming and always very quick at responding to our messages. Thank you for a fabulous holiday, we will definitely be back!

We were a party of four couples with a small dog and Gardener’s Cottage couldn’t have been more perfect, with four beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms, we all had our own space. The wonderfully spacious, light, modern and well equipped kitchen, and dining area allowed us to easily hang out together and socialise. And Gardener’s Cottage certainly doesn’t fail to deliver when it comes to its name - its garden is simply delightful.

Ilmington is the quintessential Cotswold village, close to bigger towns and villages of interest, with plenty of walks on the doorstep, a very well stocked village community shop, and two pubs, including the highly commended Howard Arms.

Altogether, we had a wonderful weekend in the very best accommodation and location, Thank you.

Immaculately presented property, perfectly blending the old with the new. Situated in a lovely garden that was a pleasure to sit in or just admire from inside the property. A beautiful village location with two lovely pubs, within 10 minutes walking distance. Excellent community shop, surprisingly well stocked, with a cafe and fresh morning pastries. We have already recommended the property to friends and hope to make a return visit in the future.

I cannot begin to express just how wonderful and special Gardeners Cottage is.
There was plenty of space and a real cooks kitchen as well as several different seating areas.
There was a very high standard of decor, comfort and quality of amenities. The house was immaculately clean when we arrived and very well equipped with everything we could have wanted.
It was the perfect stay for us, planning to come back very soon.
Thank you so much for opening your amazing house to us.

We stayed here at the end of April/beginning of May. The cottage is in a beautuful rural location at the edge of the village. Very well equipped and beautifully furnished. The beds were very comfortable. We got the wood burner going one evening as it was a little cold downstairs. Very cosy. We visited the local shop and both pubs (for meals). Highly recommended. Would love to stay here again.

Stayed in Gardners with our family, 4 adults and 4 children.
The set up of rooms was perfect…as was the standard of the whole cottage. The shop around the corner was very convenient and the walks around the area were lovely.
We would definately stay there again….looking for suitable dates already!

We had the most wonderful stay at Gardner’s Cottage. The home was absolutely incredible - it was well equipped with everything you could possibly need and well suited for larger groups. Each bedroom felt private but the property had excellent living and dining areas for us all to come together to share meals and hang out during the day. The interior decor and garden was beautiful. We had a delicious roast at the Red Lion which was a short walk away from the property. The hosts communicated very well. We’d 100% recommend to others and hope to come back again soon!
