An absolute delight! The cottage was so gorgeous, quiet, and had everything you could possibly need. The garden was beautiful and so relaxing. The only issue was the water pressure but we made it work. I cannot recommend this cottage enough.

Lovely cottage in idyllic location. Walks from the door! Walk across the road down the footpath by the church, flowers everywhere, and find the amazing community shop for a coffee or that thing you forgot to bring - friendly volunteers. Cottage very comfy but as a 6ft2in person have to mind your head on the ancient beams. Lovely back garden with 2 seating areas

We had a great stay thank you. Matched our needs perfectly. Only comment is that you need to make sure no other water is being run while someone is in the shower.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
Glen Cottage was a big disappointment which was a shame as externally it was very pretty and perfectly located in a lovely village. Internally it was very "tired' and looked unloved. From chipped and peeling paintwork on kitchen units to unmown grass, a loo cistern not attached to the wall, to scruffy paintwork in places, a very rusty radiator in the en suite, to a frayed and torn hand towel in the twin bedroom.. the cottage gave a general air of neglect. Housekeeping-wise.. the fire had not been cleaned out and there was the ash and unburnt logs of previous guests. The fire stater kit was completely inadequate. Dishwasher had no rinse-aid or salt. Oven smelt and there was a persistent mild smell of sewage in the en suite shower room. We are very sorry to be so damning.. but the cottage was simply not worth the money we paid for it. Compared to our last stay with you at Fuschia Cottage in Milton- under-Wychwood, this was a major let-down.
