We stayed in Bea’s Cottage for a few days in November whilst visiting family in Cirencester, which is only 8 min drive away.
We travelled with our two little children and got there in the dark, but the property manager had left the light on for us and the heating was on so it made for a really nice welcome.
Darren, the property manager, was great throughout and communicated with us well. Even gave us a bit more time on the last day as he knew we needed to pack everything up with the kids!
Beautiful cottage, very characterful and cosy! Lots of low ceilings and the stairs are a bit tricky with children, but we all loved the character of it all. Will definitely stay again! Thank you

It is lovely to hear that your property manager, Darren had made the house welcoming for you by turning the heating up and leaving the outside light on and he was very helpful and communicative before your stay and allowed you a later check out. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Cotswolds soon.

Excellent base for a Cotswold break away

Bea's Cottage was a beautiful typical Cotswold chocolate box cottage. It was spacious and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. The pub in the village was also a great option for dinner. You will need a car as the location is rural, but that is also part of its charm. We really enjoyed our stay.

The front yard of the cottage was really Nice and the cottage itself was very nice too. Be careful with the power beams, I had to had my head glued bumping into one.

The kids beds where not that comfy and the backyard was great to have but not much taken care of as we would have liked.

It is Very peaceful and the Village is lovely and quite. Very close to Cirencester which is a great Village to visit.

A lovely little cottage in a very pretty village. Great walks in all directions and a good pub within walking distance. The cottage had everything we needed, was clean and comfortable and had the added bonus of a secure garden. We look forward to our next stay and so do the dogs!"

This cottage was great. Not too much money but easy jump off location to explore all that the Cotswolds has to offer. The cottage was tidy, had all the amenities you'd want. The beds were comfy and everything was clean and clearly well cared for. We were charmed for sure. Access was easy and when we had questions, they were quick to call and guide us on where to park. Lovely spot.

My only complaints were that the gardener came during our stay which I guess can't be avoided but we were out having coffee after a long day of travel and our first night and had to vacate the garden for whipper snipping. Garden grows when it grows though. Also, the cottage is heavily scented with smelly diffusers and plug in things so caution to anyone who is scent sensitive.

Thank you Ashley for your review of Bea's Cottage. We are delighted to hear that you found the property to be well equipped, clean and well maintained. As you can appreciate the garden needs regular maintenance to keep it looking its best guests and as the property is let out all year round the gardener will sometimes need to come when guests are in situ. We do hope that you will be back to stay again soon!

Delightful

We had a wonderful stay at Bea’s Cottage which is peaceful and perfectly located for exploring the many nearby towns and villages in The Cotswolds. We were hoping to fully self-cater here so constructive criticism would be to update the kitchen inventory to include a casserole dish, a roasting pan, a colander/sieve. A washing line and pegs, or a clothes horse would have been useful too. Otherwise, the cottage was exactly what we were looking for and I would have no hesitation recommending it to others.

A lovely comfortable homely cottage perfect for a 5 day break for my sister and I. We both agreed the interior was even better than expected from the information. Cleanliness was excellent and we had everything we needed, although I would suggest having some place mats to protect the dining table. We did miss a full length mirror although in our case that was probably a good thing. The cottage is situated in a picturesque village with an excellent pub about half a mile down the same lane and therefore within walking distance, we enjoyed two excellent meals there. Cirencester is a short drive, about 3 miles and car parking was not a problem as there are plenty of car parks. We also enjoyed a contemporary play at the Barn theatre in Cirencester with again plenty of parking.

Booking this cottage was very easy with several pleasant and informative emails from StayCotswold along the way.
I also have to thank Darren for helping me retrieve a bag I left there and not making me feel an idiot.

Our week-long stay in a lovely Cotswolds cottage was a wonderful family getaway. The local pub was excellent, offering delicious food and a warm atmosphere. The picturesque surroundings and quaint village added to the charm.

However, the cottage could use some improvements. It was not well-equipped, with limited supplies like one roll of toilet paper and kitchen paper. The absence of wardrobes, laundry tablets for the washing machine, and a tin opener were minor inconveniences. Overall, it was a great experience, but these improvements would enhance future stays.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage which is full of character, original features, low beams and wonky floors.

We chose this cottage because we wanted a dog friendly garden, in a peaceful location and this didn't disappoint. The enclosed good size back garden was a great place for our Jack Russell to run around and play ball. It does have a small escape route (by the power point at the end of the garden) but this wasn't a problem for us.

We were lucky enough to have a mini heatwave when we stayed, so made the most of the sun trap at the end of the garden each evening, and we're pleasantly surprised that the thick walls kept the cottage nice and cool, which was a welcome relief when we returned from our days out exploring the picturesque South Cotswolds.

Just a couple of points, the bathroom basin taps are the wrong way round, (cold is usually on the right as you look at the taps) and although there were some coat hangers on the back of the main bedroom door, a small rail/wardrobe would be a great addition.
The kitchen is small and well equipped, although no pint glasses, there were plenty of wine glasses and tumblers for us to use.

We were delighted that Bea's cottage is just like the pictures and detailed write up on the website, we found the place extremely clean and tidy and always manage to park on the road outside the property.
We would definitely recommend Bea's Cottage to friends and would visit again if in the area, as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this relaxing location, which is also an easy walk through the village to a welcoming dog friendly pub.

We absolutely loved our stay at Bea's Cottage. The accommodation was cosy, welcoming, and immaculately well kept. The kitchen was well stocked with all the equipment we needed, and a great garden space for the dog and our little boy. Staircase is quite small and steep, but otherwise the cottage is easy to move around. A lovely quiet, picturesque and central location for exploring all over the Cotswolds. Would highly recommend.

Plus points nice location with lovely pub nearby with secure garden for pet dog and bbq facilities. Lovely clean kitchen.

On the minus side there were dead wood lice under the settee and by tv area.. Television was very small. At bed time wood lice fell from the wooden beams onto the main bed which was very unsettling when trying to sleep. Could also do with a full length mirror and no hanging space for clothes as there was no iron and ironing board clothes had to be kept in suitcase which wasnt ideal.

What a gorgeous place! We were lucky enough to have perfect weather during our stay, so we were happy to find the garden was really quite big and got the sun all day - this meant we diverted away from original plans and actually ended up spending most of the days at the cottage, even firing up the BBQ on the back patio. In the evening, a very cute local pub (with great food and outside seating) was just a short walk away. I can't fault the inside of the cottage either; it was spotless and has clearly been recently refurbished. In particular, I loved the vaulted ceilings in the master bedroom, and how peaceful it was there. Also, big plus points for being dog-friendly... our dog thoroughly enjoyed herself too! Thanks for a beautiful long weekend.

Our stay at this cottage was amazing! It has all the old english countryside charm but with modern finishings. The garden is lovely and we had a great time hanging out it the sun. All in all, the cottage has a relaxing and cosy vibe - especially with a fire going at night.

The location is great as there is a very good pub just down the road. It is also close to Bibury, Cirencester and Burford which makes it a convenient place to stay.

Hope to be back soon and staying longer!

The cottage was quite nice, although missing some finishing touches inside. Beds were comfortable and it was clean.

Outside was a different story, the back garden we couldn’t use. There was no pipe connecting the dirty sink water to the drain, so the dirty water just went all over the slabs. There was a paint pot left outside the back door, recycling boxes left under trees, just a mess and disappointment especially as the weather over the weekend was so nice.

The village itself is small but good with a nice little playground for the children.
