The holiday home has a large garden and plenty of off street parking, perfectly suited for larger families or groups of friends. You can also bring up to two dogs with you.

We got sent a text message from StayCotswolds with a link to what three words to navigate to the property. Not being local, I simply clicked the link and followed it, sadly it took me to the middle of Oxford at rush hour, I had 2 young children in the car which was very difficult. I then navigated myself to the property postcode and it was another hour driving. What should have been a 20 minute journey from Burton on the water turned into 2 hours. This was a very bad start to our stay. I contacted Stay Cotswolds who were pretty dismissive saying it was what three words issue and not theirs, even though they send the link. Very disappointing response, first and last time booking with them as Rural Retreats give a much better service. The house was lovely, we couldn’t get the heating upstairs to work so it was a bit cold, location was a bit out of the way from the usual cotswolds villages. I would hate for that to happen to someone who is not a confident driver as it was dark and rush hour as you cannot check in until 4pm.

Thank you Natasha for your review of Hill View House. We are very disappointed to hear that you had difficulty finding the property using the unique What3words. In the welcome email sent to you three weeks prior to your arrival you are sent the full address and postcode for the property, the unique what3words, and detailed directions to the property. Also in the welcome email you are sent contact details for your property manager who can be contacted prior to your stay. We have passed your feedback regarding the heating onto the property manager and she has had no issues with the heating and the house is always very warm and well insulated. If she had been contacted during your stay she would have been able to rectify any issues. We look forward to welcoming you back soon

Wonderful stay!

Hill View House was perfect for our family celebration. The accommodation was spacious & well equipped. There is plenty of parking. There is a local inn within walking distance where we enjoyed a family meal. However I would suggest having a grocery delivery. The real bonus with Hill View House is that there is a bathroom for each bedroom, which is important when you are a large group. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property and imagine that on a hot Summer's evening it would be bliss to sit by the stream at the bottom of the property's grounds. Something to aim for!

This property is very well equipped, well decorated and tastefully furnished with plenty of space. All the tech works well - tv, wi-fi, music, lights and blinds - all excellent. The key/check in went smoothly and the instructions throughout the property are comprehensive - note the oven should be studied before use. The grounds are excellent and our dog and the grandchildren loved the space. Village pub a bit of a walk uphill but 2 minutes in the car with dog/children is no problem. Nearby plenty of 'cotswold' stuff for you to choose from or just stay in the garden and chill out. Overall - excellent.

5 couples stayed for the weekend in this spacious house in a lovely location.
There were some minor niggles but overall thoroughly enjoyed by all of us helped by having great weather to enjoy the outside. We used the local pub where the food was good and the staff were friendly. The bonus was seeing a barn owl every evening at dusk.

The property is very well appointed with a lovely combined kitchen, dining and sitting room combined on the ground floor. There are huge sliding doors out to the patio and back garden. The kitchen is neat and uncluttered with many comfort features. There is a clever walk in type larder and enormous fridge.

There is a separate living room which is spacious and has closing doors to separate it from the kitchen, dining and sitting area.

There are enough bathrooms to provide one per bedroom in the main house.

The annexe is simple and compact but cute all the same. It is above the garage.

There is enough parking for four cars without too much organisation.

There are local walks and a pub in reasonable walking distance, too.

We spent most of our meal times at the house as it was so pleasant.

We had a wonderful stay in this house for a bit of a reunion. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfy and the communal spaces great for a group. The garden is amazing, the dogs loved running around and the fire pit by the stream made for a lovely evening. We enjoyed the local walks right on the doorstep and the local pub, it’s a great place to meet in a group and plenty to do in the nearby vicinity. I would definitely come back to this house! Thank you!

Great stay. Lovely house. Great outdoor space. Sitting by the stream very tranquil and peaceful. Good location for visiting Cotswolds. Cotswolds Distillery a great day out and Draylsford. Local pub very welcoming although busy mainly with food bookings. House had everything you need and more although the Aga style cooker was a bit complicated and slow when catering for 10 people

The property is beautiful and very well equipped. The enormous garden was perfect for the dogs to have a run.
We could not enter the property or the annex on time as it was still being cleaned at 4pm. However the cleaners were very apologetic and the property was spotless when we entered.
A word of warning about the Everhot cooker. We had precooked our meals and they needed to be heated up. However this type of cooker takes over 2 hours to heat, and even longer to get to a high temperature. We think this warning needs to be mentioned up front so that people can turn on the oven as soon as they arrive as it is not a conventional oven. We ended up having to use the oven in the annex to heat to the correct temperature. The kitchen was very well equipped, however the annex kitchen was less so. All the beds were really comfortable, and there was plenty of hot water for showers for a large group. All in all a great place to stay.

Stayed here as a family of 10 and 1 small dog. Plenty of room and well equipped kitchen. Nice to have a separate lounge from kitchen/family area. Bedrooms were all good as was the one bedroom annex.
Only two downsides check in is quite late and it’s an early checkout.
Annex is away from the main house so if going in the winter and it’s cold and wet be prepared for a walk out in the elements.
Would highly recommend.

Hill Top House was amazing. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils so no need to take anything.
The furnishings were of an excellent standard.
It was a total luxurious stay so much so that I have recommended it to friends and would not hesitate to return. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer.

This is our 2nd visit to Colony House. It’s fabulous. Lovely big bedrooms , well equipped kitchen…….a lovely bright happy feel.
There’s plenty of space indoors and out for both nutty spaniels and our toddlers.
The weather was fantastic , very hot and sunny. There’s no parasol available at the property so we ll be bringing our own next time!
At the bottom of the garden, however, there is a shady spot with a small stream to escape the sun.
We plan to return next yr for more family bonding …
Thank you … we love it.

Loved the house although we felt it could have done with more hoovering, on the website it stated there was a TV in the annex, there wasn’t so that was misleading. Also expected complimentary soap/shower gel/shampoo there wasn’t but soon rectified when rang housekeeper.
On first morning at 6am family was woken up by house alarms going off and consequently every half hour for no apparent reason, it was very unpleasant and scary especially for the 3 small children not to mention the dog, eventually after ringing the housekeeper the problem was resolved but it wasn’t a good start to the holiday.
But saying all that the property was in a wonderful location and very comfortable.

We had a great stay as 2 families and a couple. The property has been finished and decorated to a very high standard and has everything you need. The kids really enjoyed the huge garden and a pub within 10 minutes walk is a real bonus. We found a couple of nice walks from the house, but there are otherwise plenty in the area a short drive away. We would highly recommend a stay here.

We had a very enjoyable weeks family holiday in this well eqipped spacious property.
Particularly enjoyed cooking meals for 10 people using the aga, a new experience for us. Enjoyed the large garden and stream.
The weather was typical Easter, sunshine and showers so we made good use of all the facilities.
Our group walked, cycled, visited the local pub for a birthday meal. The local towns and villages were enjoyable.
The only criticism was that there is only one general dustbin which was overflowing on our arrival and there was no sign of the grey plastic food waste bin.
A happy week.

We booked a long weekend at Hill View House for 9 of us to converge for a family get together. The house was roomy, light and spacious with great communal areas for gathering to cook, eat and relax. Fabulous that all bedrooms had their own bath / shower room. We had a small issue on the first night but the housekeeper was responsive and fixed it straight away.
It's also a great location for getting to local sights and pubs. Particularly enjoyed the brewery tour at Hook Norton.
Great place all round.

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 - however it was switched off when we arrived (perfectly understandable given current energy costs) but no note left to tell us to switch it on upon arriving. The annoying thing, as we discovered, about these ovens is they take 3.5 hours from cold to heat up to temperature. That meant Friday night dinner was scuppered with 2 hungry kids as we'd come to start cooking around 5:30. Thankfully we realised there was an electric oven in the annexe but that meant us ferrying dinner back and forth from a tiny oven for 10 people... The fridge was also dirty inside when we arrived so we had to give that a good wipe down. The gas lighter to start the fire had no gas in it and there were no matches, so we couldn't have a fire on the first night - we had to go out on Saturday morning to buy some matches and kindling to get it going. The final thing which seemed a bit odd was that the gardener turned up on Saturday morning to do a few hours work in the back garden. Just a bit odd to see someone wandering in the back garden without being told that he'd be there. He was perfectly friendly, but it would have been nice to be told to expect him.

These things all seem like little things, and they were, but just not quite the level of customer service I was expecting for such a beautiful place and for the price we'd paid. If the owners / agents could get these things sorted then I think it would be a perfect getaway.

We spent a lovely bank holiday with our extended family at Hill View House. The set up worked well for our needs, and we enjoyed the large open plan kitchen with bi-fold doors over the extensive garden and view.
Our one struggle was that the garden whilst enclosed, is not secure for dogs and so after ours got onto the road, we then had quite a time keeping an eye on them in the garden which is just so big!

We’re pleased that you enjoyed your family get together at Hill View House and found the set up worked well for your group, Kirsty. Although we’re sorry to hear about your dog! Whilst the garden is enclosed, the stream at the end of the garden is unfenced and it is suggested that children, infants, and pets are supervised at all times. We’re glad that your dog was okay and that overall you had a great time here.

A wonderful family holiday in Sidford Gower.

3 generations together for a week. We had a fabulous time. Our party consisted of 8 adults, 2 twelve month old babies and 3 nutty spaniels all of which had a great time.
The lovely house was bright and spacious. Wifi was excellent - my son and his wife were able to WFH.
Large utility room that easily accommodated 3 dog crates where the dogs slept and ate.
We brought 4 bikes with us. The surrounding area was great for cycling.
Unfortunately there was nowhere to store them.
We had lovely hot weather; full sun all day for 5 days. The back of the house is in full sun with absolutely no shade ; a parasol or sun canopy would have been ideal particularly with the little boys. Parasol is on our list to bring next time!
A few more toilet rolls would be good, a couple of tea towels and maybe a dish cloth!
Plan to return next yr as this lovely house ticked most of our boxes.
Sharon, house keeper, was there if we need her.
Thank you

Stayed here for a hen do and loved it. Gorgeous house that felt homely but also very special. Customer service was great and Sharon was so helpful. My only comment would be maybe the cleanliness (some rooms/ bathrooms were a bit dusty), but nothing really to fuss about! Also there were very few loo rolls provided which was a bit of a pain as shops weren’t super close!

Hill View House (formerly Colony House) provided a lovely base for our recent family get together. The house is well equipped and everything is done to a very high standard. The grounds are large allowing for lots of outdoor games. A little Wendy house for little ones and a set of swings.
Large sliding doors allow for the dining room and kitchen to connect to the garden and outside patio for outside dining.
The village of Sibford Gower has a pub and shop and post office within walking distance. The food in the Wykham Arms is highly recommended. We did not visit the Blaize Inn Saddles which was only open on a weekend.
There are lots of lovely walks with well kept footpaths. Very friendly people around.
We visited the nearby Hooks Norton brewery with their shire horses. Very interesting tour.
We we only had a 4 day stay but hope to be back to see some more of the Cotswolds.

A stunning property with loads of space for the children to play safely outside, we went with my parents and sister and it comfortably housed a party of 7. Great rooms and facilities, we created some cherished memories over our 5 day break. And I’d also highly recommend a brisk walk to the Wickham Arms pub 10-15 mins walk up the hill, they do great lunch and dinner. Located within a short drive of lots of childrens activities, farm shops, we had great days out at Bourton on the Water, Stowe on the Wold and Stratford Upon Avon. Would certainly recommend this for a family break.

What a fab place to stay at with family and friends. The 8 of us (4 couples) were very comfortable in the beautiful looking house and the 2 dogs loved the incredible garden. Went on some great walks around the area and always looked forward to returning for a few drinks and fun games (plenty of these at the house itself). Home cooked most of the time whilst there and then went to the local pub up the road for one evening which was also amazing. Will be back later in the year!
