Church View (Lower Slaughter), Lower Slaughter

Church View was exactly as promised and so much more. It was clean and comfortable and well maintained. It was an idyllic stay to our countryside retreat. It was everything we had hoped for.

The house was great and service very good. Our only minor niggle is that the upstairs shower was a bit lame. More of a trickle. Either way, I would happily stay again. Thanks

Our two groups loved staying at this home. It had everything that we could need for our week stay. The location was perfect for day trips to Oxford, Blenheim Palace, Burford and Stowe on Wold. We also enjoyed the walks to Bourton on the Watee and around the house. It is a beautiful home and very comfortable. We hope to return one day.

Such a lovely property. Welcome pack was much appreciated. Kitchen is very well equipped. Clean and comfortable and suited our needs well. Really enjoyed our stay in this well cared for cottage.

There were some cobwebs and mouse droppings in the kitchen and the twin bedroom on the first floor to be aware of.

Excellent location and beautiful space for a family gathering. Well equipped kitchen to make food in also.

Perfect house in a perfect location! Could not fault it.Facilities and space are great and everything we needed was provided for a 3 night stay.

A family holiday consisting of three generations. A wonderful holiday cottage full of character and charm. We ordered an online Sainsburys shop, delivered to the property upon arrival make sure you write in comments to deliver to the rear or the property this helped them not take the wrong turn to the front !. Wonderful clean property, beds really comfy enough space for all the family to enjoy and not to feel ontop of each other. Games for children and great channels on the tv for all to enjoy. We had an issue with heating on the first evening, wifi nest dropping out .. but Sykes out of hours came to the rescue and sent some one out to help .. they turned up with extra wood for the log burner as a back up .. was soon back on so all good. Note to anyone with mobility issues.. stairs can be a bit steep in places and low beams on upper floor .. my 6ft 5in son managed to duck to gain access to upper floor but those less agile and tall may find this a bit of a challenge. Beautiful house, grounds & village, we made lovely memories as a family just wish we couldve stayed longer to explore.

We had a great stay and are sorry we didn't get round to writing in the visitors book. Unfortunately I broke my elbow during our stay not at the cottage so there was a bit of toing and froing to hospital! Happy for the following to be published The location of the cottage is absolutely fantastic pretty and quiet village, no traffic concerns unlike nearby StowontheWold, great pub next door, gorgeous church view, and great to have parking for 4 cars. Cottage was very well appointed there was nothing we needed that we didn't find. The stairs are definitely a bit of a challenge for older people and young children but this is made clear in the listing. The garden was wonderful. It would have been nice to maybe have some cushions or more comfortable garden chairs. Also a shame the only direct access to the garden from the house was blocked off by the conservatory which we didn't have access to. It would have been great to have a few garden games to use boules, croquet maybe... My only criticism would be that the directions could have been better. I think it mentioned that the access road was just on or after the bend after the church but don't think it said which side of the road and since the sign at the entrance to the driveway says 'Steeple View' we all assumed this was a private drive to that house only. Just mentioning this house sign in the directions would be very helpful. Communication with Character Cottages was good. The inflexible cancellation policy would not make this company my first choice in future.

Generally I thought the cottage was very well set up although, as an induction hob user, I found the gas hob frustratingly slow when cooking for 810 people. We were 2 grandparents and my son and daughter in law from Australia with 4 children aged between 5 and 9 who are energetic and intelligent but not badly behaved. I would not holiday in Lower Slaughter again. I found the locals pretty standoffish especially in the presence of the children. We spend a lot of time in Cumbria where the locals are actually friendly!. Also its a bit too chocolate boxish for me. On the other hand, lots of things for families to do in the area and the children had a good time.

The cottage was very clean and well equipped, we had a lovely relaxing time with old friends of over 30 years. Would definitely recommend although the stairs are not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

Great stay in a beautiful location, the cottage has all the facilities you require with a lovely garden. The cottage is spacious and clean. I would certainly visit again.

The location of the property was lovely. However, we were very upset and disappointed at the uncleanliness and shabbiness of Church View. The garden furniture certainly needs replacing with broken chair and unclean. The downstairs shower no one wanted to use as it was so disgusting. I would certainly not recommend this property and most definitely would not return. Its such a shame as it could be a beautiful cottage, all it needs is a little TLC. Email and photos to follow.

We all enjoyed our stay at your beautiful cottage the which is well equipped we couldn't fault it, everything was clean and fresh and how lovely to arrive and have the dining table fully laid. The garden was a big hit with our three granddaghters celebrating Easter with an Easter Egg Hunt and our annual Easter races ie skipping, egg and spoon, bean bag, wheelbarrow and three laps around the garden and prizes for all after each race what fun we all had. We are sure we will be back thank you so much.

You are very easy to work with. Thank you. Cottage delightful as described. Could not have been better. Thank you.

Hat a wonderful place for a relaxing holiday! Would love to know more about the history of this place. We enjoyed a meal at The Slaughters Country Inn, the Coop in Bourton is just great and fish and chips from The Chip Shed were yummy. Thank you for making this house so relaxing. And the garden too!

Antastic stay! Beautiful area and a wonderful location to finally see some family after all this lockdown.
