About this condo rental

Located in Bibury, this lovely condo for $195 per night is a great option for your next trip. As you pull through the wrought iron gates and up the driveway of Arlington House, a stone's throw from the popular village of Bibury, you'll see The Sycamore at the end of the driveway. It is a truly deceptive retreat, looking like a neat and tidy new build from the outside, but step through the front door and you'll be wow-ed by the spacious, stylish, fully equipped, and open plan character of this one-bedroom bolthole. The front door opens into a small entrance lobby from where an oak and glass staircase leads up to the open plan living area. At the top of the stairs, you'll find the dining area followed by a well-equipped kitchen and the slightly off-set gorgeous seating area, overlooking the patio through bi-fold doors. Also, at the top of the stairs, is a luxury shower room, featuring a large, walk-in shower. At the far end of the living area is the inviting bedroom, with its king-size double bed on a majestic wooden bed frame. Throughout, no expense has been spared in the presentation of The Sycamore, from the oak flooring to the unique artwork and from the sumptuous furniture to the extra welcoming touches that you'll discover as soon as you arrive.Ground Floor Hallway: Step from the gravelled parking area immediately in front of The Sycamore into an entrance lobby with polished limestone floor, handy coat hooks, and a pretty antique chair - ideal for perching while you remove your boots or shoes before heading up the beautiful oak staircase to the open plan living space and king-size bedroom.First Floor Dining-Living-Kitchen Area: Emerge at the top of the stairs to a brightly lit, elegant, and beautifully decorated living space, with the stunning king-size antique bed in view at the far end. A dining table at the top of the stairs comfortably seats two around a contemporary, glass-top table. The dining space leads to a central island housing the oven and hob, crockery, and glassware. At the far end is a double ceramic sink, kettle, toaster, and fridge-freezer, while a sideboard at the dining end houses a microwave oven. Within the main living area, but slightly off-set, is the delightful seating area, with a three-seater sofa and plush, velvet cushions, a coffee table, and a large smart TV with an Amazon Firestick. The living area has bi-fold doors that open out onto the patio. At the top of the stairs, French doors open out onto an elevated walkway that leads round to the back of The Sycamore's patio. Bedroom: At the far end of The Sycamore is the beautiful bedroom, with a king-size bed on a fabulously carved mahogany bed frame, creating an opulent feel, perfect for any couple wanting to escape for a romantic break. The bedroom has bedside tables with reading lights, a comfy antique armchair and occasional chair, with a low coffee table between the chairs, a large double wardrobe with hanging space and shelves, and a Velux window (with fitted blind) that allows the sunlight to flood in. Shower Room: Just opposite the dining area is the entrance to the luxurious shower room, which features a large walk-in shower with handheld and overhead showerheads, a contemporary washbasin with vanity unit and large mirror, a dual flush W.C. and a heated towel rail. All towels, shampoo, and soap are provided for guests.Outside The Sycamore's guests have a private patio at the rear of the property, accessed through the living area's bi-fold doors or through French doors at the top of the stairs.

The Sycamore is a nice apartment for two people. As mentioned you need to take steps to it from parking Level, but due to some "hilly" area, the terrace is then on apartment Level, next to owners garden. We did Not Miss anything; depending on length of stay, Towel Change might be useful, however, we did Not ask for it. The shower under the roof might be too small for very large People, for me with nearly 1,9 m it was still ok. Really a nice and calm Space. We did not meet the owner due to our daily trips, but all needed was cleared by Whatsapp. Very friendly! But you need a car to Go around

Great little hideaway, cosy and warm with lots to do close by. Great walks from doorstep with lots of pubs to visit on route. Lots of great villages and towns to visit especially Cirencester. The property has everything you could want with a great shower and everything you need in the kitchen as well.

All went well. The private patio was a real lovely addition. We also appreciate the ability to stay in and cook a few meals.

The accommodation was as the photos show although a little less smart. The bed was very comfortable which is always a plus, and the bathroom is lovely. Good location for visiting the Cotswolds. Please replace the old, rather odd assortment of cooking pots and pans as they are not really usable. The kettle has a broken handle which we left a note about. We didn’t find cushions for the patio chairs. Despite these things we enjoyed our stay and would, with these reservations, recommend to others.

The cottage was really easy to find, beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything we needed. Having onsite parking is also a great bonus as the village gets extremely busy with foreign tour groups. I was concerned about other comments I have read about the 'creaky' bed but I needn't have worried as it didn't bother us at all and certainly didn't impact our sleep. The blind and the door to the bedroom were great at blocking out the light so we could get a really good nights sleep and not get woken by the early morning sunshine. The patio outside was a lovely suntrap where we enjoyed the mini bottle of prosecco and white wine which were kindly provided by the owner. They had also recently invested in some very nice new towels. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I would definitely recommend the Sycamore for anyone looking to visit the area.

Sycamore apartment is spacious, well laid outclean, warm and comfortable. Great shower. Bit let down by kitchen equipment, needs: better saucepans for ceramic hob, non scratch utensils for non stick pans, microwavable dishes. Cutlery and crockery matched well but a teapot and some "normal" sized mugs would be good. We found the random pictures in the property quite odd. Loved that recycling bins well labelled, rare in self catering holiday let's! In all, a great place for a mini break.
