The kitchen needs some additional tools when you are a foodie and like to cook. No food processor or garlic press available, to less frying pans. The cooker hood needs thoroughly cleaning and adjustments. Everytime you fry bacon the fire alarm goes on! These are the only issues we had!
Perfect cottage in the charming village of Kingham. Beautifully presented with all that you need for a comfortable stay. Owners most helpful and friendly in their home next door. Village pubs and a shop a bonus and private parking off the village street. A lovely array of treats, including for the dog, who was very happy too. Walking from the door. Sadly it rained over the weekend but the cottage was warm and cosy.
Wonderful cottage excellent location nice and quiet. Great food hamper and flowers lovely surprise for when you arrive everything to keep you going for a couple of days. Will definitely return just far enough away from the busy villages but a good central location. Good size barn for 4 adults and two dogs !
We had a great stay at Alysas cottage and it was a perfect location for us, out in the countryside with a central location. The cottage was spacious and clean with all the equipment we needed. The hosts were brilliant and helped us with suggestions on where to eat out and were very friendly and welcoming.
Superb well equipped cottage in delightful village, with excellent local pub. Stairs to two of the bedrooms could be a challenge for small children or the elderly. The cottage is ideal for both Summer and winter visits....warm and cosy with beautiful outside space.
Little Shrublands was home from home. The property was beautifully furnished with all the fixtures and fittings to make your stay comfortable and relaxed. The location was perfect, with pubs, shop and lovely walks on your doorstep. Would definitely recommend & will return to visit the superb Cotswolds countryside and picturesque villages.
Riverside House is lovely and is in a great location. Peaceful and a great view of the River Avon. I was fascinated by the flags that are all around Bidford on Avon. I counted at least 28 and there were more. They represent the shops, the local football team, the Duck Race and many other things. We did a Treasure Trail around Alcester and Bidford on Avon. Great fun. You get to find out the history of the places. We hired a boat for a day from the boatyard next door and floated down to Evesham and back. Very relaxing. The Co-op is very handy and we would recommend The Bridge Restaurant whi...more
I take great care to search and find the perfect cottage for us, when we travel to the UK. We always rent a car, but decided for this return trip to The Cotswolds , we would try without. I chose Fairfields based on its proximity to the train station and High Street, yet on a quiet street, its walks from the front door, and how comfy-cosy it looked. Also we love a nice outdoor space, It was prefect! Even the grocery store, a few minutes’ walk away, and next to the train station, couldn’t have been more convenient, ( let alone the bakeries around the corner) walking through a little park on ...more
This cottage is in a nice location, with views across a beautiful valley and hillside with pastureland and wooded forests. Our stay in mid-autumn was bolstered by an excellent fireplace with a generous wood and firestarter supply. The furnishings are plain and worn. Some areas of the cottage were not completely clean. The bedrooms are well separated, which suits a two-couple situation, and the bedding was very comfortable. Overall, the condition and furnishings of the cottage was very average, to below the standard that I have experienced in many other cottages in the UK in past years as...more
The house was a good size for our family of 10, with a good combination of double/twin/single rooms to suit our mixed ages etc. It has an excellent well-equipped kitchen and large dining table enabling us all to eat together. When we arrived, we were relieved to discover that the central heating was very efficient, given that we visited during cold weather. However, we would recommend that the owners stay here occasionally to experience some of the minor niggles and maintenance issues that should be addressed eg a very small waste bin in the kitchen which is inadequate for a party of 10; a ba...more
Had a lovely stay at Bay Tree cottage. It’s a beautiful cosy cottage, well maintained and clean. Shipton is quite small, there’s a few pubs, woods and a nice little coffee shop called the Cotswold lounge which are within walking distance, however that’s why it’s so peaceful. It’s quite central to a lot of the Cotswolds we wanted to visit so was absolutely perfect for what we needed.
A very well presented property in a lovely setting. Our only complaint was that, as the couple staying in the second bedroom which is situated under the eaves, the headroom was very restricted. It was difficult to get into the king sized bed on one side of the bedroom and the sloping ceiling in the bathroom made it hard to move around by the sink. The other bedroom is a very good size. The downstairs rooms were very spacious and the kitchen very well equipped and there is the bonus of a roomy utility room with a downstairs toilet. This would be a beautiful property for one couple. With reg...more
On the whole we enjoyed the location and the cottage. However several small details let the cottage down. Kitchen equipment needed a revision and updating (things like oven glove not there) and oven needed cleaning. Frying pans past their best. However the location was very peaceful and the cottage comfortable but for the price paid some updating needs to be done.
We had a wonderful stay in this delightful cottage. Communication with owner was great and everything was as described. Would definitely return!
We had a great time staying at Corner Cottage. It has absolutely everything you could need so you don’t need to take any extras, and is beautifully set out. Location wise it is perfect as you are not too far away from tourist attractions, pretty villages & small towns, and it’s very peaceful.
