"Unfortunately, the Apple Loft was a real disappointment to us: the bed was too small and not only too soft but also extremely wobbly (every single movement seemed like a jolt). Not only is the street to the cottage louder than we expected (we thought it was a rural and small street with very little traffic) but also the main road (B4632) only about 300 yards away, which makes it a little too loud with the bedroom facing the street.Apart from the kitchen not being very practical (chopping boards missing etc), things did not seem to be as hygienic as at first sight: the dishwasher reeked and did not seem to have been maintained in the months before and we had to descale the kettle; very unsettling was the feeling that the bedlinen was not really clean: from the first day on there was this waft of sweat and strange perfume around, leaving the impression that the pillows themselves and the duvets had not been dry-washed for a very long time, something we have not experienced in any other accommodation in these last three weeks although we have spent a couple of nights in different hotels.The fact that the adjacent building was a building site that we directly looked on to from our balcony was not very comforting either; however, we must concede that absolutely no noise came from that side as they only worked when we were out oft he house.Although Ben was very obliging and gave us great tips on the sights and surroundings, this could not make up for the inconveniences we had."

"My wife, my 10 month daughter and I stayed at Dove Cottage whilst attending a friends wedding. We had a little trouble finding it on the first night as it was dark but Chris kindly guided us in and helped get us settled on arrival. The cottage itself was perfectly pleasant and is situated in a quiet area. It was well-equipped and the beds were particularly comfortable (I also rather enjoyed the miniature indoor bowling!). The welcome basket was a nice treat and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed playing with Chris’ lovely dogs. As for the location, there are few amenities around but it did offer great views and places to walk.There were a couple of small things that we found disappointing, the first being the broken shower head. This was particularly disappointing as the bathroom itself was a really nicely decorated space, but unfortunately made the shower almost unusable. The second point was we found rather a lot of dog hairs on the towels and other furnishings which, for people with allergies like my wife, is quite troublesome. Despite that, we all had a great time and would recommend Dove Cottage. With a few minor tweaks it could easily be a much higher scorer in our eyes. Thanks again to Chris for helping make our stay that bit more comfortable."

"We had a delightful girlie birthday mountain biking weekend here in this spotless compact little cottage. Lovely location in a magical little valley with rural views from every window. We loved the tidy garden, the neat little farm and the quiet, peaceful atmosphere. The kitchen was very well equipped and it was thoughtful of Steve to provide tea coffee milk and biscuits for our arrival. The weather turned very chilly while we there but with the excellent central heating we stayed super warm. The lounge was very comfy with a decent TV, and everything in top class condition, with a cosy 80's feel. There was plenty of space for parking and it took just a few minutes to drive to the nearest pub and about 15 mins to the cycle centre. The roads are steep and narrow here - great fun but watch out for deer leaping out in front of you!"

"The cutest of cottages...and a perfect place to retreat to after a day exploring the Cotswolds. We cosied up in front of the woodburner each evening and it was so relaxing. We enjoy breakfasts out and after looking at their website we ventured up to the Local Farmshop and it was like a ghost town ...we asked if we could have breakfast and had a luke warm response so we left. There is the one pub in the village...which we found odd to say the least. Plastic tables...extraordinarily bright lighting, not cheap and the was lined with locals not prepared to allow you to get close to choose your drink.. so our advise would be to stock up on food and nibbles...close the door and enjoy the cosy surroundings of the cottage x"

"Had a great stay at the Old Granary. Booked to go for my husbands birthday with a group of friends. Very spacious, bedrooms good size and beds super comfortable. Was easy to keep warm. The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils you could think of. Local town is walking distance, after a few beers takes time to find your way back (haha). Owner of the cottage was very helpful before hand and had suggestions on where to go depending on what you are looking for. Would defiantly book to go back, maybe in the summer where you can benefit more of the outside space. Only downfall really was the shower wasn’t the best, however for the cost and the duration of time we stayed this didn’t cause an issue for us!"
