  Beautiful location - so peaceful and quiet.

  We loved the way the two cottages had been joined with the glass extension, the log burner was great and the place was spotlessly clean (not something we always find). The bed was comfortable, the kitchen lovely and parking wasn't a problem. Only a couple of thing would raise this from a 95% perfect to 100%. The sofa and armchairs aren't the comfiest, a new set would really be an asset. Maybe also add a few books - it's always nice to pick up a book on holiday - and some tasteful pictures on the wall; both would add a more homely touch. And finally, while we appreciated the milk and biscuits (and I know people have allergies etc) but it's always really welcoming when find a small welcoming basket with say, bread, eggs etc. and some fresh flowers. Just a thought. But all in all, a truly relaxing stay and we'd come again for sure.

  Gorgeous little cottage but for a week's stay we found the couch and chairs rather uncomfortable as my husband is very tall.

  They are quite petite and firm. Good facilities in the kitchen area however we desperately needed a hoover by the 3rd day with 2 children staying too! The Village of Kingham was lovely but somewhere in the listing it said the cottage was in Stow on the wolds which is actually where we thought we were going. Not knowing the area we assumed Kingham was maybe a town within the county of Stow on the wolds or something...we got confused somewhere along the lines! Sykes could be clearer on where it is. We had to call to get the exact address and were told by the agent it was in Stow on the Wolds, Oxfordshire! Nice location however, warm and cosy. Would recommend to walkers or those seeking peace and quiet. We would stay again without the children but the area itself didn't have much for the family.

  Cottage was as described but unacceptable response to emergency plumbing issue.

  It was reported at 19.00 on the Wednesday evening and a plumber did not come until 17.20 on the Thursday. Sink was completely unusable and was filled with black smelly gunge form the blocked pipes. water from upstairs sinks etc caused the l kitchen sink to overflow which meant we could not use the bathrooms properly either. We had planned to cook our meals and had bought food for this, seen by housekeeper, but had to go out as no way could any cooking be done due to hygiene issues and no sink and we would soon have run out of crockery etc. Very disappointed that no compensation was offered for the discomfort and in convienience.

  Loved this cottage.

  It felt very much like a home from home. It was very clean and comfortable, comfy beds and lots of sitting space between the living room and dining conservatory. We comfortably had 6 people socially distancing within the conservatory. The kitchen is very well stocked with crockery and ameneties. It's in a beautiful village with two gastro pubs within a few minutes walk and many others within 10-20 mins drive. Daylesford Farm is a gentle 40 mins walk away. Overall a great place to stay in a beautiful part of the country.

  The civilised library in the bookshelves provided reading that enhanced the spirit of the cottage; especially “The Bookman’s Tale” by Charlie Lovett.

  The village of Kingham is charming. The shop sells adequate supplies and to dine at The Wild Rabbit Pub is a treat. Kingham station provides ready and easy access to visiting friends; a superior advantage. The proximity of Daylesford Organic Farm shop and cafes when one desires a special breakfast, is a bonus. Coming from Australia, the wide brown land, the honey coloured buildings nestled in the verdant grasslands and perfumed gardens, provided special joy. Our week of staying in Keen’s Cottage will always be remembered.
