Beautiful, welcoming, and perfectly positioned. The property management was responsive. We enjoyed our stay!
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
We had a lovely stay. The house has lots of character and is in a lovely village with shop and village pub. Some of the blinds didn't work and the bin didn't close, but those were minor points. We would recommend.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Lovely property. Well equipped kitchen. All as described - just be careful of the low ceilings and the steep staircases. All beautiful features of a lovely Cotswold cottage.
6 / 10Average·May 2026
The house is in a beautiful village, very friendly locals, close by for everything we wanted to visit. The Five Alls pub is excellent for food. We found the house underwhelming, not what we saw on the pictures. Someone had commented in April about the bin being broken and it still is. We had our dog with us and a broken bin lid is not great, not to mention the smells. The oven door is taped together and I had to clean the grill and oven before I could use it. The gate to bins is rusted so you can’t open it and have to take your rubbish out of the front door and down the lane. The house needs a good deep clean and the garden tending too. There is very little light in the lounge due to the overgrown hedges ect. We had to travel to the nearest village (Burford) for cleaning supplies, there is a village shop run by locals but only open a couple of hours a day. As check in was 5pm we missed it. The house has a very steep narrow set of stairs that isn’t mentioned, luckily we only had to navigate one set of them to the first floor. The kitchen dining room is a lovely space and lots of natural light, would be better without cobwebs and the clean windows, there is a dining table and wooden chairs that can’t be sat on for long periods, it’s not the comfiest, the room could do with a small sofa or the chair that’s on pictures in there, I found that room nicer to be in and not dark and gloomy like the lounge. We appreciate it’s an old cottage and we embraced many of the quirks, we just felt it was tired and not what we were expecting so were instantly disappointed. We are seasoned holiday cottage renters as we only holiday in the UK but for us we wouldn’t stay here again.
