What our customers say about their holidays

  A wonderful family three days was spent by us at Arlington Mill.

  (There were ten of us). It is an amazing building and is just right for a large family group. There is so much space that everyone was satisfied with their own en suite accommodation. We ate in on two nights, preparing huge banquets in the massive and well-equipped kitchen (two freezers and two fridges!). The Catherine Wheel Inn is a stone's throw up the road and did us proud on one evening. This mill is an amazing place and there is so much to see in the village and surrounding area. It is a delightful part of the Cotswolds. Just one or two minor gripes. When using previous rented accommodation we have usually had a TV set in the bedrooms. Arlington Mill does not, though we were probably too tired to bother, anyway! The TV in the lounge appears only to receive programmes via Sky as Freeview failed to pick up any signal. The soundbar failed to switch on and is very precariously attached to the set. I am familiar with the model and it seemed to be inverted? We tried everything to get it into action, but it seemed dead. We brought DVD's with us for the grandchildren but were unable to use them as the player was not connected to the set and the leads appeared to be missing. The heating system is quite complex and not to be messed with! The timer appeared to be incorrectly set though we were frightened to fiddle with it and left it well alone! In leaving it as it was the heating seemed to come on very late in the evening and hardly at all in the morning when we were getting up. The master bedroom, however, was always warm. As a result, we had to purchase heaps of logs and used the very efficient log burner to heat the dinning and associated lounge area where we spent most of our time. These are only minor gripes about a holiday let which is second to none. It certainly has the 'wow factor' and is well worth the money. Congratulations to the owners who have done a great restoration job on what is a wonderful old building of some significance.

  The positives-Overwhelmingly location, location, location.

  A minute walk from beautiful town centre & stunning park. Cirencester is an absolute delight. Lots of independent traders sit alongside decent high street stores. In addition 25 charity shops. A thriving town. Great green spaces for walking you & your dog & ideal base to explore The Cotswolds. All this is is a "High Recommend" The challenges. The basement is based under a very old beautiful house. For the first couple of days, there was a musty smell. Perhaps due to it being closed & not heated. The accommodation is VERY tired & could be stunning-but needs decent financial investment. The beds are comfortable, the bedding is old in the bedroom without windows. I prefer to sleep under a double duvet. A single does not cut it as an adult. The lounge is basic. The kitchen is adequate-but utensils & cutlery are not clean. There is a cupboard containing sauces/condiments that I opened & shut immeadiately! The wet room is good. The washing machine & Fridge freezer are also modern. Internet connection is appalling. If you are looking to work and or watch movies you will be hugely frustrated. I am sure it is due to the basement build & deep walls. Internet connection drops out continually. We moved the router into the hallway which helped slightly. Overall if you are not fussed about the comfort, facilities & cleanliness of your accommodation then this one is for you. Otherwise, pass this one by.

  Pros Great location and easy to find.

  Large basement with comfortable bed, large wet room and pleasant lounge. Car parking good and close. Good base to explore both Cirencester and surrounding area. Abbey gardens within easy reach. Serena very welcoming and helpful. Very quiet despite being very close to town centre. Great to have the town centre so close and easy to access. Cons As previous review stated accommodation is tired needs some TLC. Some electric switches are not good. Premises we found cold. Some kitchen utensils were left dirty by previous occupants with some plates and cutlery still having some food dried on. Difficult to turn off cloakroom taps as they dripped. Other Comments Kitchen very dark and small but served its purpose. Stairs as stated in description a bit steep and uneven. We enjoyed our stay despite the "cons". above and with a bit of TLC this place could be far better.

  We stayed at Hayloft Cottage in February 2024 and really loved it there, it is really fabulous.

  The moment we walked through the front door we just knew we would feel at home here. Refurbished to its current specification with obvious care and attention, the property is light and spacious, the decoration and furnishings have also been considered in the same way. Everything you need for an enjoyable stay is here. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Hayloft Cottage. South Cerney is a very nice village with a Co-Op within walking distance and a Delicatessen called Braai House that is well worth a visit, their cooked breakfast is stunning! Hayloft Cottage is an ideal base to explore the area, walking or otherwise. Oxford and Bath are within easy reach, and Cirencester is a stones throw away. Book Hayloft Cottage, you will not be disappointed.

  What a fantastic cottage - we had such a great time we have already booked to stay again next year!

  The cottage is beautifully furnished and very well equipped with everything you need. The hamper of goodies was extremely generous. Best of all our hosts Hazel and Peter were so welcoming and friendly. The cottage is located in a beautiful village with every amenity including 3 pubs, a deli, a fish and chip shop and post office. We thoroughly recommend the George for a good pub meal and the fish and chip shop (which opens Thursday, Friday and Saturday). There are lots of beautiful Cotswold villages and towns to visit including Tetbury, Stow on the Wold and Burford and in the summer there is the nearby waterpark. As before, we had such a wonderful time, on our last day we booked to come again next year - what better recommendation is that?!
