We had a very enjoyable stay at
Gassons View over Christmas. The cottage is lovely. The fireplace is original and it was great to light the fire. The beds were very comfy. Nice big kitchen and welcome goodies of milk, fresh eggs, butter etc were much appreciated.
Only negative comment is the fact we were only left one black bag for rubbish under the sink and dustbins and glass box were already full.

Thank you Julie for your review of Gassons View. We are delighted you found the property to be lovely and comfortable. Unfortunately, due to Christmas, the bin collections have been rescheduled and have caused a delay in getting the rubbish collected between bookings. We hope you will be back to stay again soon!

Pretty village

Quaint cottage.in a lovely village. Made use of the village pub and shop.
6 adults and a 10 month old baby in our party. Cottage not really suitable for a crawling baby because of the stone floors which were a bit grubby - fortunately we had brought a large mat for him to play on.
The kitchen was very well equipped - only thing we felt it needed were oven gloves! The ceiling in the kitchen area is very low which meant the 6 footers in our party had to stoop when using it.
3 easy chairs and a 2 seater sofa in the living room - not enough seating for a property that can potentially have 8 people staying. There is a chair in the kitchen, but the house information asks you not to move furniture around because of damaging the floor!
We understand the cottage had been used as a long let recently and felt it could have done with some maintenance to get it looking like the photos on the website.

Thank you Janet for your review of Gassons View. We are pleased to know that you enjoyed your stay at the cottage and visited the village pub and shop. Period character cottages in the Cotswolds do have low ceilings and doorways, all of which are visible on the virtual tour of the property on our website. We will pass your feedback on to the property owner. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Cotswolds soon.

nice accomodation

Gasson's View is a charming old cottage with a nice light kitchen extension in the pretty village of Filkins in the Cotswolds. It was a lovely place to spend a family Christmas with four adults, two children and a dog. The area has lots of good walks, excellent local pubs with delicious food and a useful village shop just around the corner. Unfortunately, the condition of the cottage isn't quite as good as it should be. Whilst the kitchen had plenty of cooking utensils for Christmas lunch, the largest of the electric cooker rings wasn't working and we were only provided with two refuse bags for all our rubbish/recycling which proved a challenge. The downstairs shower room/toilet seems quite new but the upstairs bathroom is shabby and in need of renovation (the cold water tap for the bath hardly works, and the lighting is very poor). In addition, more attention needs to paid to housekeeping - there were several lightbulbs not working which made a difference in the short dark days of winter. We did have a Christmas tree in the living room which was a nice touch but can we suggest perhaps a welcome pack of tea, bread, biscuits etc. and some little bottles of bath toiletries.

Thank you for your lovely comments, Diane. We’re pleased that overall, your family enjoyed staying at Gassons View over the Christmas period and found the location to be excellent. We also appreciate your constructive points which we have shared with the Owner and Property Manager. The largest cooker ring seems to be working fine, however the Property Manager will continue to monitor this closely and will attend to the cold water tap for the bath. An initial supply of tea, coffee and sugar is provided and there are spare bin bags located under the sink, should these be needed. A partial refurbishment has only recently been completed and the Owner does have further plans for some additional works in the coming months. We hope that you will be back to visit the Cotswolds sometime soon!

Lovely quaint cottage. Comfortable stay.

Comfortable quaint cottage. Well equipped. Great location. Stairs very steep. Shame there was only a few bits of fire wood provided and there were a great deal of fly’s both dead and alive in the attic bedroom. However we enjoyed our stay and made the most of the lovely local pub.

Thank you for the great feedback, Mandy. We’re pleased that you had an enjoyable stay and found the location to be ideal – The local pub, The Five Alls is superb too! Part of the charm of Gassons View, being a characterful period property, includes the low ceilings, exposed beams and steep spiral staircases, although we appreciate this won’t be suitable for all guests so highlight these features in the description. A starter supply of wood is provided for the open fire, although please note that we would not expect the quantity to last for the full duration of a stay, additional logs can be purchased locally. At this time of year, we do see sometimes see some cluster flies around the Cotswolds due to the change in weather but thankfully this lasts only a short while before they quickly disappear again. We’re pleased you had a great stay and hope to see you again sometime!

Could have been perfect

The bedrooms were excellent, although the bed in the smaller double room was slightly too small.
The stairs are a challenge for both old and young folks, so need some care when using.
The only shower is located within the kitchen, which meant a daily queue and lacked a little privacy.
The garden was in a poor state and the path to the larger part of the garden not particularly child or pet friendly, with overhanging branches and too easy access to the neighbour's garden. Both garden spaces could use some TLC.
The location and village is wonderful, with a friendly & convenient local shop and a local pub where food was exceptional.

Could have been perfect.

Many thanks for your feedback Gwen and, as a consequence, we have revised our listing to make it clear that the designated outdoor space associated with the property is the courtyard and all other space beyond that is a wild, additional area should guests choose to utilise it. The spiral staircase is integral to the property and we would suggest those who find this type of staircase on the trickier side opt for one of our other fantastic properties. The bed mentioned is listed as a 4' large single this means, if a party of 6 is using the property, this bed will be fabulously cozy! We are so glad you had a wonderful stay and do book again soon.

We spent a wonderful pre-Christmas weekend with our children and grandchildren in this very comfortable and atmospheric cottage. It was very well-equipped with a wonderfully practical kitchen which enabled us to cook a celebratory meal for us all and very comfortable lounge where we were able to enjoy an evening of charades in front of a roaring fire! We explored the quintessentially Cotswold village of Filkins and ended our weekend with a wonderful lunch at the Five Alls pub which has a well-deserved great reputation and was only 5 minutes walk from the cottage. The booking procedure was very straightforward and the staff and guest information was everything we would have hoped for.

The cottage was booked for a week to act as a base for my son's wedding at Filkins but also for my wife to enjoy a few days on our own; we know the Cotswolds reasonably well but not this particular area around Lechlade. The number of bedrooms allowed family members to stay with us. However due to unforeseen circumstances we had to curtail our stay to just 3 days. However, the cottage was superb and was just what we wanted for our family base. Spotlessly clean with excellent facilities, the kitchen had everything that you could have wanted. It opened out into a conservatory/dining area ideal for family breakfasts whilst the dining room was ideal for a meal, cooked in the impressive surroundings of the kitchen. The bedrooms were of ample size although we only used one, and an upstairs bathroom was supplemented by a lovely downstairs shower room. The heating was excellent and there was ample hot water. The most impressive thing though (apart from its proximity to the excellent Five Alls pub) was its 'homeliness'. It was a pleasure to come back after a day out and be able to relax in a warm, welcoming living room with an abundance of comfy sofas and armchairs (before heading to The Five Alls!!). It is with regret that we had to abandon our stay and we fully understand why it was not possible to reimburse us any of the fee, although we are grateful to StayCotswold for offering us a 10% discount on a future booking though them.

The cottage was very quaint but access was quite difficult for older guests due to the very narrow , steep staircases.
The kitchen area was very nicely fitted out and the garden space was great - we felt the bedrooms and upstairs bathroom could benefit from some modernisation though. The area was lovely and local pub very welcoming.

Thank you for your feedback. Gassons View is, as you say, a quaint cottage and sadly we are unable to alter any of the period features - low ceilings, exposed beams and the steep staircase, but we do note these on our website. We will pass on your comments about the bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. We are glad you enjoyed the local pub, just a stroll down the road.

A lovely house in a great location.

We enjoyed our week at Gasson’s View. The accommodation was roomy and the beds very comfortable. The house is well equipped and clean. The courtyard seating area is very pleasant and the garden is beautifully shaded, so ideal for the children. The village is well situated for visits to various Cotswold attractions. When the toaster broke, it was replaced very speedily and the staff at Staycotswold were very helpful.
