As per pictures shown and it’s a cosy & lovely place. A bit of hiccup when we couldn’t get warm bathing water and got immediate response from the cleaning company to resolve it. It’s a big space for our group of 5 with 3 bedrooms. I’m a bit surprised that it’s not stock with laundry detergent (to start off) as the Airbnb places which I have been to till now has them; So I got to get some from outside. Other than this, it’s been an enjoyable time to stay at The Glen.

The Glen was perfect for our friends get together. It was cosy and had everything we needed. The manager was easy to communicate with. It's a very peaceful village with a lovely pub for food (The Howard Arms). It's a great spot to explore the Cotswolds from.

First of all, the information provided by Stay Cotswolds, just before our arrival date was comprehensive and very useful. The only minor problem was having to wait till 5pm to access The Glen, However, we walked around the Churchyard and inside St Mary's Church which was interesting where found some of the Mouseman's mouse carvings. Once we opened the front door to the Glen we were pleasantly surprised by the lovely, roomy, cosy home from home. Plenty of hot water, comfortable beds and a cosy lounge. Venturing into the garden we were surprised by the size - if only we'd had some sunshine to enable us to sit out there! It was a lovely tranquil space ,.Ilmington is a quiet, friendly village with a Community shop and a pub and close to lots of places to visit. We would definitely recommend the Glen.

Really nice stay, cottage needs some TLC as it’s obviously heavily used. Slightly awkward walking past next door neighbour but you can use the side entrance up the footpath. Good stay overall would recommend

Charming cottage, kitchen well equipped. Comfy lounge and decent beds and bathrooms. Quaint village location, tucked away opposite the church. Beautiful walks in the location and the village shop/cafe is a must visit. We really enjoyed our stay.
At this price point though, a couple of things surprised us. There was no option for a ‘welcome hamper’ - just a basic tea and coffee tray (there was milk and wine left in the fridge but we thought that may have been from previous occupants). Also, there was only budget hand wash soap in the bathrooms - usually shampoo and shower gel/soap is provided.
The owner keeps an eye on the suggestion book and a query we raised while there was quickly resolved. The cottage would benefit from a wifi booster in the kitchen area and the fabric on the sofa in the kitchen is looking ready for a refresh.

Thank you Gwyneth for your review of The Glen, Ilmington. We are delighted to hear that you found the property to be charming, well equipped and in a quaint location. The wine and milk is left as a complimentary gift from the property owner. We do not advertise the property as supplying toiletries and therefore they should not be expected. We do hope that overall you enjoyed exploring the Cotswolds!

We enjoyed our stay at The Glen very much. Very lovely cottage and also dog friendly which was important for us.
Very nice surrounding, sweet little village.

We would like to make a small comment regarding the directions, as we only found the cottage with the help of the local residents.
It is in not directly located at the street so not possible to find it at once.

A great time in Illmington. A beautiful cottage with a fantastic large garden. Everything in place and clean. Only difficult to find. The owner should pay more attention to this as The Glen is hidden behind another cottage, you have to get through the front garden of the front cottage through two gates to the entrance of The Glen. Interior is fine, large living kitchen, a cosy sitting room and a spacious entrance hall.
Note: the Wifi password code is not correct on the description, you will find it on the hub of the router.
Illmington and its gardens are very pretty. Pub within walking distance. Lovely base to visit the north of the Cotswolds.
More attention to accommodation information, such as telephone numbers of a GP in case of accidents should be present. Also a phone number to the owner would be welcome in case of customer queries. Or opening hours of the pub or local shop. Or where are the nearest shops for shopping.
But in summary, a great place for a wonderful holiday!

A group of school friends now in our late 60s rented for a week. The house was charming, well appointed and had everything we needed. Our neighbour (shared path) was gracious and friendly. The village, pubs, and community cafe were excellent, friendly and in a little English idyll. Would recommend.

The cottage is lovely, well equipped and welcoming. Open fire is a treat. We had a nice welcome pack and found everything you could need to make our stay comfortable and homely. The weather was a bit wet so we didn’t use the garden but on venturing out to take a look it is large and well looked after with a nice seating area by the dining area door. The village is great,has a lovely church just opposite and not built up with lots of new houses as many villages are now. Take a walk down the footpath next to the church and it will lead to The Red Lion pub, full of locals and very friendly, bit rough and ready but possibly the best home cooked food we have eaten in a pub for years. The landlady makes everything herself and is a great cook, highly recommend the brisket on a Sunday. We would recommend this cottage and village we had a great time.
