  We really enjoyed our stay at Poet's corner.

  It is beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. The underfloor heating throughout the ground floor was very pleasant - on the verge of too hot even, but fairly easy to turn down - though that was because I knew how these type of things worked, I didn't come across any instructions. The kitchen had everything you could need including tea towels, oven gloves, washing up kit etc. I'd been really organised and brought my own as this isn't aways the case! But it was nice that they were there. The wifi was good enough to stream films over christmas, the location in Bourton was really good, just round the corner from the centre. And having a second sitting room was really nice when you wanted a bit of alone time. We were slightly concerned about the church bells. However i can report that they can't be heard at all in the two first floor bedrooms, only the second floor one, and they were not loud enough to wake you, but you would hear them if you were awake. I really liked them actually. The only negatives were the top bedroom was meant to have a king size bed but it was two singles pushed together (maybe zip and link, not sure), which wasn't as described and the person who used it really didn't want to be in a single bed. The listing should be updated to reflect this. Also the way the twin beds are set up, the bedroom door could not be closed. I had to push the bed by the door to a 30 degree angle to get the door to shut. This might be OK for a children's room but for two adults it would not be great. As I was in there on my own, it wasn't too bad. The shower on the first floor was very pleasant but as it was a waterfall shower it was difficult to use if you weren't washing your hair, which my elderly father wasn't too keen on. It would have been nice to have a second smaller shower head that could be removed from the wall as well. And the shower on the top floor leaked on to the floor the way the doors shut - however it was easy enough for the water to be mopped up. As I said earlier, I didn't find instructions (this may have been me missing them) for appliances or the heating, which would have been helpful. Every brand is slightly different, although most of it is fairly obvious. The microwave took the most working out! The notes haven't been updated since covid so these could be looked at again. Eg we were meant to put linen in provided bags - but there weren't any. Assume no longer required, but is it still required to strip the beds? Not sure. However I could happily have stayed in this lovely cottage - probably forever! We really did enjoy our stay and would thoroughly recommend it - we are a family of 3 adults. I've been on holiday with Sykes before and as always they are easy to deal with, the process is easy, and they respond quickly - a good company.

  The property and location were an excellent fit for us.

  We were a couple plus my partner's parents, so our ages ranged from 59 to 89. There were a lot of stairs between the top and bottom, but we were agile enough and they presented no problem. We managed to chip a plate and break a cup in the sink and would suggest the simple addition of a standard sink bowl (We replaced both with similar, even though the chipped plate is usable) The showers on both floors were great, but a more standard shower head on a flexible hose might have been better. The small floor-space of the shower with a large overhead shower is difficult to trust when you don't know how hot/cold it will be. All the rooms were excellent, of good size and the furnishings were nice. It felt modern and clean at all times whilst being literally a hop/skip and a jump away from the church and the very centre of the village. The private parking was brilliant and I found that when taking the elders to the nearby attractions (De La Hayes Cafe/Birdland/Model Village/ Shopping Areas) the easiest thing was to drive them there and then bring the car back to the house and walk to rejoin them and then collect the car later. It was a way better option than pay and display parking when you have no idea how long you're going to be. Overall, extremely pleased and hope we can return in the not too distant future

  Wood Stanway House is absolutely beautiful.

  We all really enjoyed our stay and the location of this property to explore the Cotswolds. The garden was a beautiful spot to relax and unwind in the sunshine after a day of exploring. We all went for local runs/walks and adored the beautiful surrounding area. Every single room was decorated beautifully, and we are envious of your bathrooms as every single one was stunning! The kitchen was so well equipped and everything was easy to find and use and the welcome pack was so generous, thank you. We all are from across the UK and we all want to return to this beautiful property with family. Only minor suggestions (this is just minor suggestion and wouldn't put us off re booking this beautiful property) We all wanted to sit together in the evening and ended up having to sit around the dining room table till bedtime or split up into the living room/snug, which isn't the end of the world, but another sofa in the living room would have meant that we could have all relaxed together. Thank you so much for our amazing stay!

  Lovely house in a perfect location.

  We had a lovely time and the beds were all super comfortable. Just a few little things which would have made our stay easier and could be easily rectified:- The clothes horse was in pieces so they need a new one especially as we needed to wash face masks. There was no spatula to use with frying pan to cook our bacon and a glass bowl and jug would be useful so we could mix our scrambled eggs. The only bowls were cereal bowls which we used to mix everything. A mirror in the double room on first floor is needed as there is no where to dry or straighten your hair which on holiday is a must! However loads of cups; bowls and glasses which was great so that you could use the dishwasher and still have plenty to use. I would recommend as just a short walk to the centre and lots of lovely walks in the area. Lovely furnishings and lovely second lounge.

  Great location, parking, walking distance,two streets away from a large Co-op Very surprised that there was no pillow protectors on the bedroom pillows, very strange especially post covid and gem spreading provention.

  All the window could do with a jolly good clean outside,next door had there’s done on the Saturday when we arrived and assumed ours may be done too, so can I suggest a regular window cleaner. Lastly, the internet we didn’t have any connections for the first 4 days, (was the jubilee bank holiday)I finally contacted manor cottages, who sent somebody out within 15 mins, brilliant response! to look at the problem, the chap was unable to sort, seems that e portable router/boaster wasn’t present, so the next day at noon, chap arrived with a replacement router. In the day of internet and is not being able to access property until 6 which is very late, that the housekeeper should have checked this item was present, it did mar the holiday as two Birthdays in our party and family not able to FaceTime.
