Honeystones Reviews

A well used property that was showing signs of a lack of maintenance eg bathroom extractor fan not working, bifold doors not locking properly and patio doors very difficult to lock. Overall comfortable and warm
The property was fine for our use. Could be quite noisy from the adjacent Fosse Way traffic with windows open but not too bad. The lounge door to the garden area needs some attention theres obviously been problems in the past and there is a noticeable gap between the door and ceiling.
Property was lovely but needs some love and attention. Front garden was overgrown so we couldn't access the path. The house was generally ok but clearly hadn't had a deep clean. Cobwebs around the walls. Dirty under door bars.
Honeystones is ideally located and only a short walk to Bourton and the Slaughters, the house is lovely and spacious, more comfortable seating in the living area would have been good as the house can accommodate up to 9 adults. We had an issue with the BBQ, however, Manor Cottages did respond and in the end this did not spoil our stay. I would recommend this property.
Elizabeth
Such a lovely property! Really spacious and perfect for a group we had 8 adults and 2 children. Great social living areas in both the kitchen and the living room. Perfect location with a 10 minute walk into town. Would highly recommend!
Lovely house in a great location to get around the Cotswolds. I would stay here again if the following things were looked at. The property itself was fairly dirty, cobwebs, dirty carpets, shower cubicles were mouldy, tiles in the bathroom were filthy, some radiators were turned off and we had no tools to turn them back on. The WiFi to the TVs never worked so we had no access to Netflix, Prime etc.
Louise
This house was perfect for our group celebrating my husband's 60th. A walk of about 10 minutes into Boughton on the water and a perfect morning walk into Lower Slaughter and then into Upper Slaughter. I do think that a check out time of 10am is a bit unfair.
Had a fantastic family holiday at Honeystones and would definitely stay again. Only small criticisms are that for 9 adults there were not enough garden chairs or seats at the dining table and the games room didnt have any games! A long handled brush would also be useful for sweeping the kitchen floor. Property was extremely clean and well maintained.
This property was perfect for our family! We loved that it was within walking distance to the store, shops and restaurants in BourtonontheWater. It was a great central location to explore other villages in the Cotswolds. It was nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable! And it had everything we needed. As an American family coming to visit, it would have been nice to have more detail about how to work some of the appliances. The refrigerator was off when we arrived. We thought it was broken, but learned a switch was left off. The dryer did not dry our clothes. We left a message with the caretaker that it needed service. We would definitely consider staying here again if we had the opportunity!
Great place for a family holiday. Convenient for the village and play park. A stair gate would have been useful. Also more garden chairs, and a way to clean the bbq. The 5pm entry seemed very late as other properties we have stayed in have been from 2pm. Overall would recommend Honeystones.
Cathryn
Had a lovely stay. Everything we needed was in the house. 8 of us stayed and there was plenty of room. 10 minutes walk into the centre, footpath the whole way and nice and flat. Very convenient. Plenty of parking available at the house. Coop supermarket halfway into the town. Had a great time.
Property was just perfect for my husbands 60th birthday. ..enjoyed the house immensely. Just a couple of things, the duvets felt more of a winter duvet and were very hot ,a few of us commented on this. Also you ask for shoes to be taken off which is fine,but a bigger mat is required to stand on to take of shoes..a long runner maybe better...thanks
Alexandra
We found this to be a well presented, spacious house with lovely clean bedding and towels. The location is great for walking into the village and although a fairly main road for the Cotswolds is close to the house it did not disturb us. The only improvements would be that a few items in the kitchen need replacing pans and holey oven gloves.
Matthew
Just returned from a wonderful long weekend at Honeystones. The house exceeded our expectations perfect location, plenty of space and all the facilities we needed. The house is on the outskirts of Bourton a short walk into town and on the walking routes we wanted to take. The house was clean, warm and comfortable and had parking for five cars. Will definitely consider staying again.
The property is very well placed for Bourton on the Water handy for all the attractions and there is a good COOP down the road. A couple of little improvements would help to make a perfect stay the garden table was very small and there were only 4 garden chairs the table was also very rusty. For a house which accommodates 9 people, it was not adequate. The dryer seemed to leak water at the front whenever it was used the filter light was on to indicate that it needed changing. I don't think the fridge is working properly as our milk went off before its use by date and I had set it to be 8 degrees the lowest..
Honeystones is a lovely big house. The layout is perfect for a bigger group with spacious downstairs rooms, big bedrooms and three good bathrooms. Parking is excellent. It is conveniently situated for travelling around most of the Cotswolds. It does need a big clean, eg windows, skirtings etc. The biggest downside is significant traffic noise, night and day, from the adjacent main road.
Overall we were disappointed by the quality of the decor having invested significantly to hire the property. Whilst clean throughout it appeared that little work has been done to keep the property to the standard of the initial build, which must have been excellent. Our view is that it requires some TLC to bring it back to the original level. Specifics which we noticed include Very poor quality and unsafe garden furniture and not enough for us all to sit out Bigger patio area would help Broken coat stand hooks Lack of standard equipment in the kitchen eg potato peeler, cheese grater, wooden spoons helpful for non stick pans. Non slip mats required in the kitchen and hallway. Carpets in dining room, stairwell and landing would benefit from being cleaned. Hand shower in the bathroom not working correctly. Right hand side window frame in the games room is split. Headboard in the double bedroom on the left is wobbly. The location was great for visiting the area. The weather was good and enabled us to visit many attractions that the area has to offer. It was sufficiently near to the village centre to be able to walk in and our grandson enjoyed the playground just down the road. By no means was this a bad rental, but all of the above did cause us to be disappointed.
Graham
Good location. Fine for 5 adults but shortage of crockery and and glasses if we had been 8. The chairs at the dining table were rather second rate and the tablewould have been too small for any more than 6. There were no side tables to put a drink on in the main sitting room. The garden furniture wants consigning to the scrap heap and was totally unsuitable for a house this size and price. Otherwise it was generally ok as we were only 5 and staying for 2 nights.
Overall a lovely property very clean and comfortable. My only criticism would be of the garden the grass needed cutting, the furniture needs replacing and the bbq was very dirty. Also the proximity to the busy road meant we couldnt have the bedroom windows open at night due to the noise.
Beautiful big spacious house , lovely decor , two things I would suggest is more ... Beautiful big spacious house , lovely decor , two things I would suggest is more garden furniture with bigger patio area and bathroom having a more powerful shower but definitely would recommend staying here lovely area
Anthony
This was a fabulous weekend and the house was part of this. Perfect for our needs and very comfortable. A great location for the town and surrounding area. Booking was very easy.
A beautiful house for a family break in a great location, we had a wonderful time thank you
The kitchen could do with some more crockerypans. .only 1 small frying pan that was very old& worn to cook breakfast for 7 people was a a struggle! Some dishes for salad bread etc & more champagne flutes. Only 45 again not enough for all 7 of us. Bathrooms could do with a deep clean, tiles, shower trays etc, and PLEASE put clean toilet brushes in bathrooms...slightly revolting looking at dirty toilet brushes! Apart from that a fabulous spacious house
Isabelle
Beautiful house in a lovely part of the country. Really close to Bourtononthewater and Cirencester, perfect for exploring the Cotswolds villages.
A spacious and beautifully decorated cottage in a peaceful village. Lovely!

We had a fantastic time at this property. There was plenty of space for our party and just a short walk to the town centre. We had a great time at the property, thank you very much.
