  Basically a very pleasant and comfortable cottage for two people set in a lovely part of the Cotswolds within easy reach of numerous attractions, but, and there is always a but, the devil is in the detail and it is in the detail that this cottage fails.

  Our feeling was that the owners have rather given up. The occupancy rate is clearly rather low and the level of care and attention likewise. All of the following complaints are, in themselves minor, but they add up to making what could be a really lovely experience turn out to be a bit frustrating. The information (or perhaps instruction) booklet clearly dates from Covid and has not been updated, similarly the rack of tourist information leaflets is wildly out of date, many are dated 2018. The lighting, particularly in the living room is so poor that reading during the evening is difficult. The TV is very small and the DVD player only worked once. The instruction book did not seem to refer to the TV on the premises and the remote control did not work properly. The kitchen was quite good but the fridge was only a larder fridge without even a compartment to make a tray of ice cubes or to freeze ice packs for picnics. There is no washing machine which is unusual these days. I believe that electrical appliances should have a PAT test certificate, only one had and this was some years out of date. I also believe there should be a gas safety certificate on the premises but we couldn’t find one (forgive me if I am wrong about either of these points)

  We stayed at The Loft during storms Dudley and Eunice (Feb 22) and had to sit out the latter indoors! Luckily, it was a very comfortable space to while away the hours and watch the changing colours of the landscape and the very resilient pigs in the distant field. The accommodation is well-designed and comfortable, though a very tall person might need to pay attention to the sloping roof in places. Everything is clean and well-maintained. It is right next door to the owner's house which might not suit everyone, but we were glad of John's attentions during the storm and the great provisions in the hamper provided. The area is all about rolling hills and farms. We went on some beautiful walks, guided by some helpful maps and suggestions in the house. If you like red kites, hares, river walks and woodlands, this would be the place for you. Even in the February cold, we sat on the chairs at the top of our steps and watched the red kites hovering and dipping. Hot water bottles were provided and came in handy for the outdoor bird-watching!

  Wow!! What can we say

  ? My wife and I really needed a quiet break for a couple of days after a very bumpy 3 months. Deer View provided the perfect place for us to spend some `us` time and chill out. Susan was the perfect host to us and on arrival showed us round. She was meticulous in her planning and management of her holiday let, right down to a big binder full of lots of places to go and things to do, her gift of her simply awesome fruit cake, to her cleaning regime, with the place truly spotless. All of the furnishings and utensils are brand new and are of quality, and not cheap rubbish as some do, showing respect for her guests. This part of England we are not too familiar with, is just beautiful and so quiet and peaceful, so ticked all of the boxes Our 3 nights and 2 days seemed to pass too quickly, but we would love to return.. A huge thank you John and Viv

  What a delightful cottage on the edge of a beautiful Cotswolds village.

  The view is amazing when you wake up in the morning and just look out to fields. The cottage is just off a main road , so great base to explore the area . It’s lovely arriving back each day to sit on the front patio with a G&T , it’s a sun trap the sun shines here all day . The cottage is equipped with most things you need and is very comfortable inside . There is a small alley way to the right of next doors cottage with a little stream running along side , it takes you straight to pub , but is ideal to walk dogs on . If you just pass the pub on the other side of the road next to the cricket field there is a pair of iron gates which is the start of the wild flower meadow so lovely for a walk round the lakes with the dog . We plan to return next year

  We stayed at the Loft hoping for a few days of rest and relaxation, and this was delivered beyond our expectations. Although the accommodation is adjacent to the owners house the Loft feels cosy and secluded. The expansive views across the fields is amazing and you can see all sorts of wildlife coming and going. The Loft is exceptionally well appointed with good quality furnishings, a very comfortable bed, good wifi, and the welcome hamper was stocked with some very tasty treats - especially the lemon drizzle cake. The owners are very friendly and work hard to ensure you have everything you need. There are some lovely walks in the area and the local pubs (we tried them all) are cosy and welcoming. Overall a lovely place for a relaxing getaway.
