We stayed a week here, the house had everything you would need for the stay, the kitchen had all the utensils needed, although the Aga took some getting use to. Upstairs bedrooms were a good size, the biggest "But" I have is the smaller of the double room Upstairs desperately needs a new mattress my back was in pieces by the end of the week ( and no the other guests would not swap) or a new mattress topper.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at the cottage, but we thought the cottage was a little ‘tired’! It could do with a little attention and a good clean. Generally the cleanliness was ok but could have been better.
The back garden was very unkept, in need of attention. One evening we did get chance to sit out on the sun but weeds screamed at us to tidy them up, which we ended up doing.
The cottage is in a great location for touring Broadway (just about walking distance) and the surrounding area.

We had a wonderful weekend staying at Summer Hayes. It was perfect for meeting up with friends and plenty of walks nearby. Childswickham has a lovely pub and the food was excellent.
Cottage was clean and we were lucky enough to have such good weather to enjoy the garden.

Beautiful property and like Pandora’s box inside. Very deceptive from outside.
Very peaceful.
Everything you could wish for.
A little more detail with cleanliness would be better.( Had to wash all cutlery and clean out the drawer as dirty and full of crumbs).
Wanted to mop floor as had a dog but no mop bucket or head only the handle.
Would recommend though.

Warm and cosy cottage in a quiet little village a couple of miles from Broadway. Quirky accommodation but comfortable and adequate for our needs - 2 adults, two children and a dog. Lots of loose wires in the lounge and bedrooms which need to be sorted out. Some door hooks or a coat stand would be useful as there was nowhere to hang coats so we had to leave them on the sofa. Lots of bedding stored in the wardrobe in one of the bedrooms so not much space to keep you clothes.

The location and cottage are lovely and we enjoyed our stay. In particular the local pub and walks were perfect. It was disappointing and a first for us to be in a cottage for Christmas with no tree or Christmas decoration to welcome us. We purchased some lights and decorations and this was all good.
Our lower scores are for cleanliness and condition of the property. The cleaning was poor, in particular downstairs and we needed to do cleaning ourselves e.g. utensils before use and furniture in lounge. This was not helped by the property being tired and some aspects needing refreshing / tidying e.g. lots of electricity leads hanging down and no lighting on stairs, and lots of rubbish in wardrobes. Sadly these were all avoidable things that would stop us coming back or recommending the property, and they stop the property from being amazing.

We spent a long weekend in this delightful cottage that sits on the very outskirts of Broadway. The cottage was warm, clean and tidy and was surprisingly large inside thanks in part to an extensive rear extension. Everything you needed was provided including cookies, a bottle of milk and a bottle of wine! These small things make such a difference and they were very well received. The beds were comfortable and the shower was very effective and easy to use. The cottage was within walking distance of an excellent pub and restaurant that gave us a warm welcome and served some excellent food.

Couple of negatives...there is an aga in kitchen which has to be on all the time making it very hot.
Electrics all went off on Friday night, difficult getting in touch initially with management company(not answering phone number provided ..had to email but this was not provided in welcoming text eventually did late Sat am who arranged electrician who came out sat afternoon and fixed faulty electrics.Lost food in fridge and had workmen around when trying to get ready to go out so not ideal but at least problem was fixed
Lovely pub in walking distance from cottage

Thank you Lorna for your recent review of Summer Hayes and to read that you had a lovely stay. We are very appreciative for your feedback regarding the AGA in the Kitchen, the property owner has confirmed that the AGA should be set on the lowest setting, and there is a sign to clarify this by the AGA. We apologise if this signage is not clear or visible. We provided you with the property managers contact details in your welcome letter for any problems or maintenance issues during your stay, and we are sorry that you were unable to contact them on the Friday evening. We are pleased that this issue was resolved on Saturday and that you were able to enjoy the rest of your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Cotswolds soon.

This is a beautifully decorated house, with a nice, cosy conservatory, where we had breakfast throughout the stay. The master room and the upper bedrooms are big and very tastefully decorated. The common bath on this floor is small but clean and sufficient.
The third bedroom on the ground floor is small ( for 1 person) and is attached with a powder room but with shower.
The kitchen is fully equipped.

The house is located in a peaceful lane ,& one can visit one of the best restaurants ( Broadway Brasserie),by a short walk.

In all one of the best experiences.

A quirky cottage in the beautiful Cotswolds.

Summer Hayes is perfectly placed within a short driving distance of many lovely Cotswolds villages and towns. Nearby Broadway is an absolute gem!

My husband and I met up with our daughter and son in law and son for a family meet up. Summer Hayes is in the pretty, peaceful village of Childswickham. Although there is not private parking, we didn’t have any problems parking 2 vehicles outside the cottage at all during the stay. Check in with the key box was simple. The cottage itself is a home from home with lots of lovely quirky features and added extras. Things like the books and games were a great bonus and we enjoyed using some of these. The living room is cosy but was perfectly fine for 5 adults, as was the conservatory, where we enjoyed sitting around the table playing games. The kitchen is well equipped and it was great to have a private garden where we made use of the BBQ and garden furniture. The master bedroom is beautiful but all 3 were comfortable and clean. (The bed in the master bedroom does creak as one review said, but it wasn’t a problem at all). The main shower room is modern with a powerful shower and it was very handy to have another shower for the 3rd bedroom downstairs. We would recommend the Childswickham Inn for a gorgeous Sunday Lunch and the Crown and Trumpet in Broadway for a traditional oldie worldie pub with traditional pub food. We would love to return in the future.

We had a lovely 2 night stay. Summer Hayes is a well presented property, fitted with everything you need for a short break. Plenty of toilet rolls and towels - a sign of a generous host! The location is perfect for a Cotswolds visit, not far from the high street so you can get food etc. The only drawback was the bed in the master bedroom. The bedframe was extremely creaky! I didn't sleep well for the 2 night stay only due to the fact the bed creaked ever so loudly even when I moved slightly; and this could be heard from the second bedroom. The mattress was also not firm and could do with replacing. I would give 5 stars for comfort if it hadn't been so creaky and if the mattress had not been very soft, which led to backache. We didn't use the third bedroom, as it was downstairs past the kitchen and my young daughters didn't want to be that far away from us so they all bunked in together in the second bedroom upstairs. Aside from the bed issue this is very lovely property which caters for all your needs. Its very well maintained and cleaned spotlessly. It's within a short driving distance of Sudeley Castle and also Broadway Tower. Take out the bed and its a 5star property, which I would recommend.

The cottage was delightful and fully equipped to cover all our needs. The AGA stove was a great addition to the kitchen.

The comfort of the beds was the only thing that we found an issue with. The master bed was extremely noisy (creaking every time we moved) and the small double bed downstairs only had a 2 inch memory foam mattress which was not deep enough to protect from the wooden spars on the bed base.

Overall the property was delightful.
