What our customers say about their holidays

  We booked as we had wanted a countryside setting rather than a town centre.

  On arrival we loved seeing the awesome views and the feeding stations for a variety of birds. We opened our 2 bedroom apartment and it had everything we needed. The views from the front double bedroom and the lounge were exceptional, rolling countryside for miles with birds always coming for feed to the well-stocked feeders. On the first morning I saw two foxes about 150 yards away in a field running playfully. The apartment had all facilities one would need for a week's stay. The cleanliness and facilities provided were excellent. This was an ideal base for Bourton-on-the-Water and Diddly Squat - Jerem1y Clarkson's farm - was a 25 minutes drive. Many lovely towns were viewed but we always enjoyed returning to Fluff's Farm. We did some local walks with tremendous views across the Cotswolds. When we left we said a fond farewell to Roy and Sue, the owners. We can only praise them for their warmth, their kindness and their advice. We have never had a better holiday accommodation, thanks so much Sue and Roy, we will return within the next 12 months, Fluff's Farm is outstanding.

  The accommodation was clean, warm and comfortable and the owner was very helpful.

  The view from the cottage was spectacular and the bird watching added a new and interesting dimension. Parking is easy as is access to the property. The property is rural but conveniently located for Bourton on the Water and other Cotswolds towns. With the exception of the below it was very quiet. The previous agent added the caveat below - which may be relevant to some future guests. The noise is noticeable in both bedrooms and can kick in during the night hours. The property is very eco-friendly and its underfloor heating is provided by an air source heat pump. As a result, guests may hear the sound of the pump (similar to an air conditioning unit) in the bedroom during the winter, when the underfloor heating is adjusting to maintain the ambient heat level. To supply the hot water, a unique British designed system has been installed which senses the moisture in the shower room, extracts it and then combines this to help heat the water. As a result, guests occupying the second bedroom may temporarily hear the system as it heats the water.

  This was our 2nd stay at Fluff's Farm (Cotswold View apartment).

  The apartment is a fantastic place to spend a week. In fact, it is very difficult to write a review when everything was perfect! Everything has already been said about what a lovely property this is and how amazing the Cotwolds are. The claims in other reviews about uncomfortable sofas has been addressed with the inclusion of two very comfy, full sized sofas while the original (more solid) sofas and armchairs are still there for those who prefer them. I would also like to stress that the claim that the apartment is not "car friendly" is bonkers. We unpacked right at the door and parked right by the side of the poroperty. The claim that garden furniture is "mis-matched" is one of the funniest complaints I've ever seen in a holiday property review and the more serious claim that the property is dirty is simply not true. The whole place is always immaculate. Finally, we find the info and sticky notes posted around the property to be very helpful and always very amusing - just like the property owner! We will be back for a 3rd time very soon.

  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.

  Thank you so much for the lovely stay at your apartment.

  I only have a few comments to improve it. Staying for a week, especially with kids, will require cleaning with a VACUUM CLEANER. I think providing a small vacuum cleaner is important. TV channels are not fun nowadays! Get a bigger SMART TV with YouTube, at least. The sofas were not comfortable. A simpler and more comfortable SOFA will be an investment. The 2 dining chairs with white cloth covers were not practical! Get 2 more of the ones without cover. They're perfect. The quality of the provided essentials needs to be improved; toilet papers, dishwashing tablets, dishwashing liquid, etc. One last thing, there were many instructions everywhere. I guess they can be reduced. By the way, I have added your location (Fluff's Farm) to Google Maps a couple of months ago, if you have noticed! So you don't really need to put lots of direction guidance, Google Maps will find it by name! Again, thank you very much for letting us enjoy the Coltswood View for a wonderful week.
