  The property is well situated for the lovely walks in Winchcombe.

  However, it's not the most comfortable cottage we've stayed in. First, the positive things. The beds are comfortable and there is good water pressure. The kitchen is well-lit and mostly had the things we needed. There were several things that made it a less than ideal cottage though. Firstly, the top two bedrooms have large velux windows directly over the beds measuring perhaps 3 feet by 4 feet. Unfortunately, there aren't any blinds over these, so the rooms are flooded with bright sunlight the moment the sun rises. So, don't expect to get any sleep the moment it's dawn, which was an issue for us in the spring - and I can imagine it will only get brighter in the summer. Secondly, the two-seater sofa felt rather thin, narrow and inexpensive - certainly not amongst the more comfortable ones that we have had. We often decided to lie on the comfortable beds when reading as the thin sofa was actually a bit uncomfortable to sit on for long. In the lounge, there is also only a two-seater and two armchairs plus two floor cushion / foot stool type things. So, if you are a party of six, some of you will have to sit on floor cushion / foot stools. The house is also on a street that counts as fairly busy for a small town. We go away to a lot of cottages, so we know what life is like in small towns and villages, but in this property we were quite aware of traffic noise early in the morning (maybe 6am) when delivery vehicles were dropping off at the supermarket across the road.

  We absolutely loved our stay!

  On arrival we were greeted with a lovely warm, clean house with everything we needed to start our holiday such as; tea, coffee, butter and milk plus some added luxuries too which were very appreciated! We read through the welcome pack which was helpful, there is lots of space in the back which we felt could have included how the house should be left e.g where the cleaners wanted the towels, what temp the heating should be on, where the key should be left, hopefully we did everything right. Also a few local leaflets for days out would have been super helpful but not too much of problem given the WiFi. There were a couple of very minor issues in the bathroom; the window was either stuck closed or quite stiff, we didn't force it for fear of not closing it again. There was also some mould on the bottom of the shower curtain and around the bath. The kitchen was really well equipped and appliances were easy to use. The extendable dining table was great when we did lots of food for all of us. The house was in a great location, the kids loved watching the stream train go by on occasion. We walked to a local Italian restaurant and then onto a cocktail bar (Tabu) which were both amazing, as was Queens Fish and Chips. Overall a very good stay and we'd happily book again!! Huge thank you to the owners for great hospitality.

  This is a comfortable, well furnished property, nicely situated for both walking into the village and local countryside walks, as well as visiting nearby places of interest.

  The owner is most helpful, prepared to respond to requests. There is a full size dishwasher, but to use this economically, there needs to be more crockery and cutlery. The current side plates are too small. We appreciated the washing machine, but the provided airer is too small - next door kindly loaned us theirs! There were hand towels for the shower rooms and toilet but we could have done with one for the kitchen as well as an extra tea cloth.There is an EV charger mentioned but it should be noted that this is just via an external 3 pin plug not a 7 kWh car charger. To the owner’s credit, when he realised we didn’t have the necessary lead to utilise this, he ordered one which we received the next day and overnight charging worked well. The rear outside area is nice to sit in but would benefit from some weeding. We have made the above points to hopefully help make what is a good property into a 5 star one. We had a very enjoyable week’s stay and would happily recommend the property.

  This little property has been nicely renovated in a contemporary yet cosy fashion.

  It's not a large cottage so I think it would have been a tight squeeze for four adults, but for two of us and the dog it was great. Lounge was great with its comfortable sofa and one of the largest TVs we have had in a cottage. Wifi was fine. Appliances all worked well in the kitchen. Plenty of hot water for baths and showers. Towels were large and fluffy. A blind was missing in the larger bedroom, so expect to get woken by sunlight the moment the sun rises. Also, the instructions for putting out the rubbish and recycling weren't correct. We were told to put both rubbish and recycling in a bin marked "SC". However, there wasn't a bin marked "SC". Every other cottage we have stayed at has had either an exterior bin for recycling or some kind of container within the property. I feel it's important to recycle to protect our children and grandchildren's futures, so I would appreciate total confidence that recycling is actually being recycled rather than just being thrown away.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beau’s House!

  The interior is gorgeous. Extremely clean, modern and very homely. The amenities are also great - we particularly loved the Nespresso machine! Helen left us a cake & some milk for when we arrived which was a lovely touch. The location is a perfectly central hub to visit all of the gorgeous Cotswold villages. Bourton-on-the-Water (which was our favourite of the villages) is just over 5 minutes away by car. Stow-on-the-Wold is a similar distance away which is also a beautiful village. Beau’s House is on a new build estate which we loved walking round in the evenings. It’s very quiet & peaceful. There are lots of children’s play areas dotted around and so much greenery too. There is a Co-op opposite the house - very convenient! The garden is south-facing & enclosed making it a nice space for all including our toddlers & dogs. There is also parking for 2 cars and an electric charging point. We will definitely be staying here again when we next visit the Cotswolds!
