We had an incredible stay in this beautiful house. Everything perfect. Thank you.

Tutto perfetto! ! Spenamo di ritornare ...

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.

Tutto perfetto! ! Spenamo di ritornare ...

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.

Andrey

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!

Robert

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.

Mathew

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