Easter Cottage Reviews

Maureen
The only addition I would like to suggest is a Mirror in the main ensuite bedroom with access to a socket. The only mirror was in the bathroom, which was not always convenient. Many thanks
The cottage is lovely and in a great location. Very well equipped in the kitchen. Bedrooms are all spacious. Amble off street parking. The on drive parking is only suitable for a small car might broth mentioning. The cottage is in need of some painting marks on walls in bedrooms etc we had noted a review mentioned this in September but clearly nothing has been done . Disappointing for the amount of money we paid . The main living area is really dark we had to bring lamps from the bedroom as the main lamp was not working could do with additional lamps .
Melanie
Easter cottage was perfect. A lovely stay in this spacious but cosy home in a pretty, quiet village. The heating system worked really well and was easy to use. The log burner was a lovely addition to the large living room. Plenty of hot water served the good quality bathrooms. The beds were super comfy and insured a good nights sleep by all. The Kitchen was well equipped and the welcome goodies a nice touch. We hope to return for a longer stay soon.
Nicola
Perfect cottage in a beautiful Cotswold village
We had a great stay. Comfortable cottage and clean in a great location. The only point to note is that the 4th bedroom annex is completely separated from main building with access through kitchen door. Might be a bit tricky for groups of 2 families with small children. Overall, We had a great stay at the cottage.
Catherine
Beautiful cottage in the most picture perfect village. Location in Cotswolds is excellent. The cottage was just brilliant for our family weekend, lots of space, great bedrooms and facilities downstairs. We found everything we needed. Would have been great to find a bbq just a suggestion. Would highly recommend staying here, thank you very much
The garden was very untidy we had to sweep all leaves up table is broken and chairs all need replacing so we couldnt sit out . Dissapointed on no washing up liquid or soap in bathroom very sparse on cleaning products we had to go out but all cleaning stuff so for the price we paid was a bit mean have stayed at better places
Elisabeth
A lovely property with very comfortable beds and lots of space. Great wood burner as well. The Burrow was an excellent addition and very cosy. A lovely location and full of character. A couple of points re housekeeping, a few bulbs dont work. There was no welcome washing up pack so we had to buy sponges and dishwasher tablets and washing pods. There was an empty suitcase and used bags of laundry left in the kitchen. Whilst this did not detract from our stay I would have expected these housekeeping issues to be addressed as this is not a low priced property. You also need a new outside table and chairs as they are wobbly. That said we had a fantastic time!
I have to many things to share about cottage and other things. Would love to be able to express my feelings to owner and to Sykes Cottages as well. So if you are really interested let me know.
We had a great time. Beautiful property, beautiful area and will definitely be coming back. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the house was great.
A beautiful conversion of two cottages into one of a very high standard, spotlessly clean and well appointed. Six of us stayed in Easter Cottage and thoroughly enjoyed the facilities. Absolutely up to the standard we have come to expect from Sykes. We had some meals in several well known and guide recommended hostelries but the best meal and ambience was in walking distance at the local The Rose & Crown. A couple of housekeeping matters there would appear to be a wasps nest in the roof because a few dozy wasps fell into the end bedroom to the left going up the stairs. A few more coat hangers in the master bedroom would be appreciated and we couldn't find any black bags for the bedlinen. I think the woodshed must have ended up on the fire because we couldn't find it or any logs ! None of these minor matters detracted from our enjoyment of Easter Cottage.
Nicholas
Awesome place. House had everything.
Suzanne

Sabina
Lovely property. In excellent condition when we arrived, everything clearly detailed and as expected. Would definitely recommend in future.
The cottage is absolutely stunning, really well fitted and appointed to a high standard. The village is beautiful and really well situated for a great stay in the Cotswolds.
What a great property. Super clean and also a great space to feel like home for a short while. I think more sets of wine glasses and a few more utensils would be good. A few things to fix shower hose in master bathroom bath these should be checked. Otherwise the property is excellent and a lovely place to stay. Manor Cottages property management were also excellent and available.
Sebastian
Beautiful Cottage in a peaceful village, everything was great
The property was exactly as listed. Everyone was very easy to deal with and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Beautifully appointed, clean and comfortable!
Srinivasan
Our stay at Easter Cottage was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the facilities and comfort provided in the property. Our children enjoyed the family games provided at the property. Definitely, we would love to come back again. Improvements required at the property are, Cutlerys and tableware needs to be updated. Some of the utensils were not in a usable condition which was a little disappointment. It would be much appreciated, before change over, if you could ensure that property was professionally cleaned as advertised. Thanks again for the Easter hamper our kids enjoyed
Hilary
Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed. The induction stove took some getting used to but we eventually got used to cooking on it. The local pubs kitchen was being refurbished during our stay but the pub was open for drinks and was a few minutes walk from the cottage. Would definitely recommend the cottage and would return.
This break was for my partners birthday and the location and cottage made it her best ever birthday shared with family and friends. The cottage is perfect in every way, so clean and the bedrooms are perfect for 4 couples.
Richard
The cottage was extremely well presented, both in terms of facilities, equipment and cleanliness. There really is nothing negative to say!
Christine
We had a very enjoyable preChristmas break at Easter Cottage. The accommodation and facilities were excellent for our three generation party. We particularly enjoyed cosy afternoons in front of the log burner and would love to make a return visit.
Lovely cottage with everything we could have asked for, lovely touch having the Xmas tree up and decorated
Lovely cottage for a family get together. Quality, stylish decor. Very comfortable beds. Close to Cotswold Wildlife Park.
Elizabeth
We appreciated that the cottage provided a few extras such as tea, milk, crisps and biscuits on arrival, and we were not expecting these. The cottage itself was beautifully furnished and was as described. One thing we did want to feedback, is that there wasn't anything in the information, about a venue of some description or appeared to be where they were hosting a weddingcelebration. I believe this was the large house next door and its gardens backed onto the cottage. We heard a lot of noise late into the night for 2 nights. This was ok for us but may be worth noting for anyone with young children or those who may have trouble sleeping! It was slightly unexpected given the remote location. It didn't however have any impact on our enjoyment.
Caroline
Our family had an amazing time at Easter Cottage. The cottage itself was perfect comfortable, beautifully designed and very well equipped. Lovely bathrooms and kitchen. Set in the village of Shilton, which happens to be so very pretty, this lovely house has been restored and designed in keeping with many of the houses you can see when walking about, they are all stunning! It was the perfect winter retreat thank you.
Wow Easter Cottage was truly above and beyond our expectations! There were no negatives! We all took lots of pictures wishing our own homes were as stylish amazing. Truly the most beautiful cottage and such an amazing stay! Thank you x
The house for the 6 of us was big. It even had a cute little off building if someone prefers a bit of privacy from the main house. Beds were very comfortable and big. Showers were lovely. Tv even had netflix!! The location is set it a quite location with only a pub but only a 5 min drive to the nearest top. Beautiful, Relaxing Stay.
A lovely cottage. Very well presented and much larger than it looks on the photographs. We had a wonderful new year celebrating with all the family. Would definitely return to Eater cottage again
What a fabulous cottage we stayed in! Spotlessly clean and beautiful, warm and welcoming. Facilities were good, sadly the wifi wasnt working but it didnt affect our weekend. Shilton is a beautiful and quaint place and we visited Burford which was also very pretty! Lots of things to do and were all suggested in the welcome book at the cottage.
Lovely house, sympathetically renovated, beautifully decorated and furnished. Our only problem was that none of the bedrooms had mirrors. With three females in the house needing to blow dry hair, this was a problem. However, within 3 hours of phone call to Manor Cottages a gentleman came to the door with a long mirror which we put on the landing and shared which was most appreciated by us ladies thank you! Thats the only problem we encountered we loved this house and would like to thank the owners for letting us stay in their beautiful home. Great village pub Rose and Crown friendly locals and staff.
Well equipped, clean.
Kristine
Great cottage. Very comfortable and welcoming. loved the welcome basket and found to cottage to have everything we needed
