  The property is well situated for the lovely walks in Winchcombe.

  However, it's not the most comfortable cottage we've stayed in. First, the positive things. The beds are comfortable and there is good water pressure. The kitchen is well-lit and mostly had the things we needed. There were several things that made it a less than ideal cottage though. Firstly, the top two bedrooms have large velux windows directly over the beds measuring perhaps 3 feet by 4 feet. Unfortunately, there aren't any blinds over these, so the rooms are flooded with bright sunlight the moment the sun rises. So, don't expect to get any sleep the moment it's dawn, which was an issue for us in the spring - and I can imagine it will only get brighter in the summer. Secondly, the two-seater sofa felt rather thin, narrow and inexpensive - certainly not amongst the more comfortable ones that we have had. We often decided to lie on the comfortable beds when reading as the thin sofa was actually a bit uncomfortable to sit on for long. In the lounge, there is also only a two-seater and two armchairs plus two floor cushion / foot stool type things. So, if you are a party of six, some of you will have to sit on floor cushion / foot stools. The house is also on a street that counts as fairly busy for a small town. We go away to a lot of cottages, so we know what life is like in small towns and villages, but in this property we were quite aware of traffic noise early in the morning (maybe 6am) when delivery vehicles were dropping off at the supermarket across the road.

  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!

  We had a lovely week at The Little House in Great Rissington to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday.

  The house is clean, warm, comfortable and everything you will need for an easy holiday has been supplied. The welcome basket was much appreciated. Our rescue collie made herself so at home, sleeping happily on her bed downstairs and introducing herself to a dog walking neighbour, that it seemed like she had been there before! The weather was not good enough to enjoy the garden but it is a lovely space. The little house feels more like a loved home than a holiday let, the duvets and bed linens were first class and the shower was wonderful we all had a wonderful week's sleep. The kitchen was lovely and had everything we needed, it helped massively that there were some supplies in the larder. The dining room, table beautifully laid upon arrival, was a bonus. The village has no shop but popping into Bourton in November was easy enough and Ocado delivery to the house was very successful. As we left my husband was saying he'd like to return, all in all a great holiday.

  Great location.

  Well equipped and warm. Good downstairs space. Nice welcome pack. Reasonable price. Generally clean and tidy but cobwebs in corners and dust on beams etc. One of the beds had lots on long black hairs on the sheet when we pulled back the duvet (so we were not sure if the bed covers had been changed on that bed). We washed it before use! It's an old property so it has creaky floors upstairs (that's ok). Some of the downstairs walls appear to have rising damp (blown plaster and flaky paint). The downstairs shower room was a bit mouldy on the upper walls and the shower head riser was broken (but usable). Water seeped through the wall above the sink when it rained heavily. The patio gate needs some attention, also the imposing bush next to it which restricts access. There was tea and coffee provided in caddies but the coffee was part solidified so it may have been there a while! Not a problem as we used our own. Overall it's a great location but the property needs some investment and TLC.

  Winchcombe is an excellent base for this part of the Cotswolds.

  A lovely town with plenty of options for eating and shopping. We did several walks from Winchcombe and they were great. Winchcombe really does welcome walkers! The cottage was perfect for the three of us. It helped that the weather was glorious so we could make use of the small patio garden. We were confused about when to put the bins out. Clearer instructions needed, maybe a sticker on the appropriate bins? A few more comfortable outdoor chairs wouldn't go amiss as it was nice to sit outside in the evening and in the conservatory. We had no issues with the upstairs shower. We ate out a lot - highly recommend the fish and chip shop. The kitchen was fine, maybe a couple of washing up sponges could be provided as we didn't use the dishwasher. We didn't have a car but made use of the local bus to get to Chipping Camden. We managed to get to Stow on the Wold and Bourton on the Water by bus too. We had a great time and would stay in Mouse Hole cottage again.
