Beautiful location and so quiet

Beautiful location and so quiet. The cottage was lovely and big. There was a welcome package, consisting of wine, milk, butter, loaf of bread and biscuits. All very welcome. All the bedrooms were beautifully decorated. The only room that could have been better would be the larger upstairs bedroom it had no drawers. That would have made our holiday so much easier. Also there was only two sun loungers in the garden when there was three adults staying at the cottage. There are activities within the site, which is nice to have available. Thank you for the lovely stay.

Great stay

Lovely property, well maintained in a peaceful location perfect for our Christmas break, larger oven would have been ideal as not quite big enough for the turkey and we were just 4 people.

didn't live up to expectations

Fire was not laid, had the remains of an old fire. Sofas had seen better days and weren't very comfy at all. Usually when I go away there is a book of walks but there was nothing to show where we could walk. Once again usually there are books and games to play but there was nothing other than an old jigsaw and an incomplete pack of cards. Duvets were poor quality having areas where there was no filling so bits of you were getting cold and bits were too warm. Pillows were really insubstantial too. I also found all the emails regarding portals and guide books and downloading this book and uploading VIP passes etc etc etc just complicated the whole event.

A beautiful Cotswold cottage

We loved our cottage in the Cotswolds. It was in an ideal place to explore and experience what the Cotswolds has to offer. Seeing the countryside with all is autumnal colours was truly special. The cottage was cosy yet spacious and stylishly furnished. A memorable stay in a beautiful place. Will look to book again!

Lovely family holiday!

We had a great family reunion at Ivy Cottage and made lots of lasting memories. The cottage was very comfortable and the welcome pack of milk, bread etc and goodies for our dog was very much appreciated. Only negative comment would be the kitchen is not well equipped, a few more mugs and glasses would be good to safe washing up or running the dishwasher twice a day! Good location with some nice pubs nearby. Would definitely recommend for a great family holiday.

Fantastic Family Celebration

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend break for 6 at Ivy Cottage. The cottage was very comfortable and beautifully presented. It was also well equipped for our needs. The games room was great and the table football a real winner! Thank you so much for helping to create the perfect family celebration.

Family Holiday.

Ivy Cottage was in a good location for us to visit places and was situated on a nice site with walks, table football, table tennis and a sauna had just been opened before we left, but we didn't have time to try. Ivy Cottage did however lack a few things, more mugs and a sharp knife set would have been good for preparing veg etc...for cooking. The settees need replacing as one side you sunk into the seat. There were quite a few cobwebs, one bin had not been emptied in one of the shower rooms and opened sweet packages found in one bedroom drawer. One day when we returned we found the door open of the Woodfired hot tub, so had gone cold and never got round to trying. Saying all this we did have a lovely stay with the family, just a few updates required.

A wonderful cottage with excellent amenities

A wonderful cottage with excellent amenities The hot tub was a real hit, only needed a couple of hours to heat up and then you are set for the weekend. Lovely log fire in the sitting room and excellent kitchen with seating for six, The bedrooms were very spacious and the beds extremely comfortable with excellent views. Caroline our contact at the cottage was excellent before and during the holiday. Would recommend the cottage very highly.

A stay in the Cotswold ,, use Staycotswold.

Cottage was brilliant from every aspect, could not fault it at all. There were mixed feelings with some of the family as to the location personally the wife and I enjoyed the peace and quiet. The hot tub was a real big hit. The only sad thing was that we only had a three day break next time it will be a week.

Perfect Weekend Away, we wish we could have stayed for longer. We will be back!

We stayed at Ivy Cottage for 2 nights and honestly we couldn't fault it. From the moment we got there we were blown away. The property was finished to such a high standard and was really clean. There was even a welcome basket with treat waiting for us on arrival. Even though there we other properties on the farm we weren't over looked and felt very private. The gardens we well kept and the hot tub really made the stay. The garden was also enclosed so we could let the dog run free. It was much more than what we expected and we will defiantly be booking again.

Fabulous cottage

Ivy cottage is gorgeous and so comfortable. It has everything you need. It is a few minutes walk to the Thames and we made full use of the paddle boards provided. The wood burning hot tub took us a while to work out but then we got helpful extra instructions from Caroline the property manager who was great. There is lots to see and do nearby. We had 3 generations and all enjoyed Buscott Park and the Cotswolds Wildlife Park. I would highly recommend Blakes Kitchen for amazing bread and cakes whichnis nearby. We all loved pur holiday so much we have booked to go again!

Perfect accommodation for family wedding stay

The cottage was set in a wonderful location and everything for a really comfortable stay had been thought of, especially milk in the fridge for a cup of tea on arrival. We really appreciated fans in each bedroom as we were staying in 30+ degrees. The only thing lacking was an outside umbrella for the patio table. We will definitely be returning with the wider family for another stay.

Visit to Ivy Cottage

Lovely comfortable cottage with an excellent hot tub. Quiet and relaxing but close enough to places to visit. It had everything we needed in the kitchen including staples ( eg oil & seasonings ) which was nice and there was a good selection of goodies left for us including milk for a cuppa! Very welcoming for the dog with a good enclosed garden and some nice walks down the river.

Great stay at Ivy Cottage

We stayed at Ivy Cottage for the weekend and had a great stay. The house was the perfect size and layout for a gathering. We enjoyed the hot tub and views! Each room had its own en-suite and the house manager was very responsive during our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing stay!

We stayed for my mums 60th birthday. 6 adults a baby and a dog and would return in a heartbeat! All the rooms were immaculate, everything was perfect, super clean and comfortable for us all. The gardens and surrounding area were so well kept and we even made apple crumble from the tree outside! We know we will be booking again when we can as we had the most perfect stay.

Beautiful cottage, stunning location and secure for dogs

Ivy cottage is set in a beautiful area with several other cottages but they are positioned so that you have privacy and are not overlooked by the other cottages. We had 2 dogs with us and the gardens are very secure so we didn't have to worry about them escaping. The bedrooms all have ensuite and are all very well thought out The hot tub is wood fired and did take a while to heat up but was lovley. You should be aware that it is not temperature controlled so can get very hot. The surrounding area is beautiful with some lovely walks and pubs if you don't mind a long walk. Eiukd highly recommend and would definitely go back
