Perfect property for celebrating our Ruby wedding anniversary over an extended period with our two children and their families. The quality and condition of the facilities were beyond reproach and it's location in such a picturesque Cotswold village was ideal for trips out to the quintessential parks and towns of the area.

Lovely accommodation. All that we needed.

Lovely property, easily accommodated 7 adults and one teenager for a long weekend. Good sized downstairs rooms allowed us to spread out but enough room for us all to sit together to eat in the kitchen or garden. Bedrooms generous in size, only one shower cubicle but that was not an issue for our group. Enjoyed our time there very much, great to spend time in the garden, such a peaceful location, a very classic Cotswold village. Excellent and very friendly pub in the village just a few minutes walk.

Great space, all cottage is fully equipped with everything you might need. location is great, a lot of country side walks just from the backyard. Cozy fireplace and setting room, big kitchen and dinning area, 4 comfy bedrooms. 1 bedroom was very cold, but the rest were all fine. Lovely place to stay in!

Great Holiday property, very comfortable, tranquil, Ideal setting for our Golden wedding Anniversary dinner and holiday, great setting next to Lovely historic Church with it's ties to the Mitford Family etc. Shame about the lack of Mobile phone signal, had to walk 34 mile to top of nearby hill to be able to send or receive.

I strongly recommend you do not stay at this porperty or use this company. The house had not been cleaned prior to arrival. It was littered with dead insects on the floor, dead flies on the windowsills, numerous cobwebs and more dead bugs floating in a halffull bath. We raised this with the property managers who gave reasons for the above eg they were unaware the cleaner had not been, the house has a known problem with woodlice and offered a clean, however we had already had to spend the start of our holiday cleaning it up. The house is as listed, however it is showing heavy use and wear and tear and is not at the standard expected for a listing of this value. This was in addition dirty mud marks from previous guests. On the third night the living room ceiling started to leak. We had to mop up and put vasesjugs down. It meant the living room was out of use for our young child. This was clearly not a new leak given the staining on the ceiling. We reported this to the property managers who explained they were aware of a leak and it should have been fixed. We find it unacceptable that a property with a number of known issues was let out and it hows poor management and a total disregard for the guests. Our complaints were met with reasons for this issue which did not resolve the matter. Additionally, as we did not have an account with Sykes there is no email address or message function to feedback. We have stayed in the cotswolds multiple times with different companies and so can vouch for this property and company being well below the experience expected for this area.

Very nice house, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The only two complaints are that the AGA was on when we arrived, making it way too hot inside 2425 C and some of the pans didn't work on the induction plate or were bent at the bottom making cooking less ideal.

Fantastic property in a beautiful village. The walksruns are astonishing, including a great walk just to the side of the cottage.

The property was perfect for a relaxing week away with the family and the dog. Although it has been a holiday home for many years, it was clean, comfortable, well equipped and we would happily stay there again. The only minor thing we would change is the shallow shower tray. On first use, water overflowed into the lounge below. To avoid this happening again, we kept shower times to 3 minutes.

Great Property in a village close to Burford actually Swinbrook a 35 minute walk outside of Burford village . House is well appointed and modernized inside . Lovely spacious rooms and garden . Unfortunately, they have decided to lock all the downstairs windows closed so that the rooms get very stuffy Pity Some maintenance needed .

We had the most amazing stay at Hillside Cottage in Swinbrook, Cotswolds. The property is a stunning example of a Cotswolds property, it has all of those features that you would like and expect and many more. At the same time its incredibly modern with great lighting, a beautiful kitchen and excellent WiFi and TVs. The bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms are large and spacious and very clean with superb decor. We were very blessed with amazing sunny dry weather all week and that meant we could get out and about to the food festival at Blenheim Palace, some lovely countryside walks and great meals at The Swan Inn and The Maytime Inn. Overall superb!

Overall we thought this was an excellent property. The only notable downside was the lack of wifi especially in the sitting room. The TV didnt stream at all well and was connected only to the wifi in order to watch it Netflix, BBCiplayer etc As we had booked a long stay we went ahead and bought a wifi network extender ourselves to solve the problem which it did. However it was somewhat strange that such a great property hadnt really thought about or factored in good wifi. Also the extender came at our personal cost which we of course left at the house for future use.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Hillside Cottage over Christmas. So much space for entertaining and the kitchen is well equipped for cooking Christmas dinners etc. The house is beautifully furnished and the owners clearly have great taste! The location is excellent lovely country walks and a great pub on your doorstep, which made it feel very secluded yet still within easy access of Burford and larger supermarkets. Our only disappointment was in the quality of the bedding one of the bed slats in the second largest room had broken, meaning the mattress was on a slope. The pillows were not the best either. If this small issue could be fixed, the property would be 1010!

Hillside is beautiful and its village Swinbrook even more so. An intriguing stay next to the church as we learnt about the Mitford sisters. I did feel nervous about there being no house telephone, no outdoor phone box and no signal. If there was an emergency, we would not have the ability to call for services.
