Very good house for a family of 6-8 and good value overall. Like the large number of WC/showers/bath. Location excellent with easy reach of local shops and tourist attractions. Would go again!
Minor issues for us were the beds being too soft. My 16 year old found them OK.

We booked Rowan house for a family birthday celebration in August 2024. I have left the below review for Maple house which also applies to Rowan House, as we booked 2 properties due to the size of our family and it was great as they were next door to each other so we could walk across the drive way to each house and use both gardens and kitchens.
From the booking process, to arrival, to checking out, everything was amazing. We booked through Bolthole retreats, and we were provided a personal log in to our booking which showed option to add extras, make payments and also came with information on the area and a welcome guide to the house. This included catering options in the area, local restaurants and pubs, walks around the area, discounts and much more, which was extremely informative. The house was right next to the Ebrington Arms pub which is a lovely village pub with great food. We had lunch there one day and used the 10% discount from Rowan House. The house was extremely clean and the perfect layout/size for our family. We bumped into the cleaners on arrival who were extremely friendly and helpful. The area is secure so great for us with children running around! We were in contact prior to arrival regarding early check in and Tim came back to us straight away and accommodated us where possible which was very helpful. Check in/out and information was provided to us a few days before and was exactly as mentioned making it very easy on arrival to find keys etc.
Overall a very enjoyable stay, lovely house and beautiful area, and a very smooth booking process. We will definitely visit again.

Location perfect. Quiet village with lovely walks - ebrington arms pub serve delicious food and was handy being so close.
Easy to reach larger towns and villages such as Broadway , Moreton-In-Marsh and Stow.
Negatives were that the
beds were very uncomfortable- have returned home and spent two days in bed with strained lower back.
We also found the kitchen wasn’t well equipped. One tea towel for four days and it would have been nice to have a small essentials hamper on arrival with milk .

Excellent well appointed accommodation in a lovely quiet village in the north east Cotswolds. Unfortunately, the only minus point was that the TV had intermittent reception.

The village of Ebrington has everything needed for a quiet, away from it all stay. An award winning pub next door, veggi matters cafe/farm shop/butchers within walking distance, walks, not too far from Chipping for swings etc for children and all the shops you could want.

Our stay at The Rowan.

The sitting room is spacious and held all 7 of us comfortably. If you have subscriptions to Netflix or Amazon Prime do remember to bring the passcodes!! Wifi in certain areas of the house very slow/poor.

A great pity that the cloakroom didn’t have a shower, this would make all the bedrooms workable. Also that there wasn’t a room that had twin beds for children in the group, doubles don’t work at all. The mattresses we found extremely uncomfortable, I slept on the floor the first night, the sofa on the second two nights. The pillows were not of good quality for the standard of the property. Invest in a good nights sleep for future occupants, would be a huge plus.

We found no instructions for either the TV or boiler at point of use, a house book (which we might have missed) in a prominent place, would be really useful. To know there is only one key for multiple families using the house would be useful too. The drill being to place the only key, back in the key box every time everyone left the house.

Having said the above, the rooms are all of a good size, as is the garden and makes a multi generational group (such as ours) very workable.

Bolthole Retreats have been excellent throughout and very responsive and helpful whenever needed. We were impressed with their friendly and helpful approach when we contacted them (about the heating and keys) even though it was a Sunday!

A beautiful property in a nice area but the cleaning was below standards. Could use a lick of paint. Blind broken, slow draining bath, cover below stove broken
.... And more, show that the property is not adequately maintained.

Lovely property in a quiet area overlooking farm land. Property was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. There’s a lovely pub a few minutes walk and Chipping Campden, Bourton-on-the-Water and other villages are within easy reach.
Garden was great for the dogs and the outdoor furniture was made use of in the dry weather. Garden is overlooked by other properties, we could hear the conversations of the house opposite which we’re having a large family gathering using the bbq and hot tub.

having spent a family xmas in Rowan House, we found it very nicely decorated for the season, furnished to a high standard, warm, with ample room for eight people and the kitchen and its contents allowed us to cook to a high standard. We enjoyed a very happy stay.

Outstanding experience staying at Rowan house from start to finish. The house is immaculate and very comfortable for 8 adults sharing amenities. House was spotless, great location next to outstanding gastro pub. Highlights: cleanliness, constant hot water, great kitchen and lounge
Room for improvement: Poor wifi, showers a little on the snug side for a larger person.
We will definitely be booking another stay here next year :-)

It was a family celebration my parents Diamond Wedding Anniversary and it was a great location, spacious property for 8 adults. Walking distance to the pub can only be a bonus, fantastic Sunday lunch, nice staff. Definitely would come back when the weather is better!!

We enjoyed our stay at Rowan House. The location was great for a quiet get away with easy access to attractions in the Cotswolds. The home could use a coat of paint and the cobwebs cleaned out of the corners, but other than it was a clean and comfortable home.

One thing to note: the first floor bedrooms do not have king sized beds. They are the same size as the beds downstairs and all appear to be queen sized.



Bolthole Retreats replied more than 1 year ago
We're pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay at Rowan House. We double checked with the house manager on the bed make-up after reading your review and we can confirm that the downstairs are doubles and the upstairs are kingsize so the description is correct.

We enjoyed a great few days in the cotswolds biding local villages and sights. What a wonderful modern property, spacious, light, and comfortable. Everything but a bread knife in the kitchen!
Would definitely recommend.

Thank you for your review and feedback. The owners are aware of the missing bread knife now. Best wishes Bolthole Retreats

Really nice place to stay and we all had a great week here. The property has everything, really comfortable, great wifi (we had to do a bit of work whilst here!) everything worked well, lovely seated area outside (when the weather allowed) and v well located for seeing the Cotswolds.
Farm shop and cafe just down the road was a big hit too.

Rowan House is a lovely property in a good location for exploring the Cotswolds.
The bedrooms, dining kitchen and lounge are of a good size, and the property is well equipped with pretty much everything you need for a self catering stay.
The garden is fully enclosed with patio furniture and cushions provided.

Pretty newly built property in small village with great pub, local farm shops selling excellent vegetables and local meat. Beds comfortable and generally well appointed property however the house is not cleaned well and certainly not a COVID clean as stated.

We had a week here in this fabulous new house and great fun exploring the Cotswolds (definitely need a car as very quiet location.) Really nice finish/fittings and super comfy beds. We took our dog and the garden is 100% enclosed and secure. Had a couple of questions for Hannah and she was really quick to respond and help out. Had hoped to eat at the Ebrington Arms which is just behind the property but sadly a bit too fancy and expensive for us as a large family, but we did enjoy drinks there a couple of times. Lots of information and recommendations in the property suggesting places to visit and pubs/restaurants to try. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

A beautiful well equipped house finished to a high standard. Basic toiletries supplied in all bathrooms/toilets and starter basics in kitchen were very helpful. Kitchen has plenty of cutlery & crockery but a measuring jug & weighing scales would be handy if not planning to eat out. Enclosed garden was perfect for our toddler grandson, although would suggest clearing small stones from around patio area, as his favourite game was "posting" these into the tracking for the bifold door. Not an easy job to clear (property is advertised as child friendly). Very tranquil area and well positioned for accessing Cotswold beauty spots. The nearby farm shop sells good quality local fruit, veg and meat. We would happily stay at this location again and recommend to others.

Fantastic very high spec property in great location near Chipping Campden.
Had a great stay in beautiful surroundings inc. dog friendly and nice outdoor space.

Couple of points TV needs a free box as only works on I player and Netflix, no live tv and wireless can’t handle ITV hub( only relevant as Euros was on), also need a grill pan.
