  On booking the property no warning no visitors allowed on the property.

  found out after paying the non refundable fee. booked for 10 nights for 6 adults. when i was able to speak to the owner I made it clear as i booked the property for my family visiting from cyprus I would be visiting. I also informed her that they would be arriving very late early morning and I would be waiting for them the owner assured me that was no problem. Originally I was expecting 7 of them I would wait for them to take one of them to my house. 6 arrived plus my son who helped them to find their way from the airport. He had his own car and left shortly to go to his own house. They arrived later than expected due to bad weather at about 2am that is 6 adults with 12 suitcases. Next day a text from the owner complaining that the quests next door were awaken and complained. Also a rude reminder that only 6 quest sleep on the property. I assumed that they have cameras on the driveway and saw me leaving on my own. I answered to her texts when i spoke to her she said it was the noise when they arrived not any noise when in the property. 6 adults, 12 suitcases gravel driveway and the 2 properties very close together. The property on first glance is very beautiful and very clean. The log burner one of the reasons I booked it, some wood ready to use when I asked for more I was told I could buy it locally I foolishly assumed that was included to the price. Despite our best efforts not all radiators were working the main one in the lounge they came and repaired it when I told them but in my opinion that should have been checked before my family's arrival. Very low water pressure in both bathrooms shower in the ensuite in need of repair as shower head is floppy. I had informed the owner that my family would not be in the property for 2 nights on return we found out she had come into the house and turned down the heading my family returned again to a cold house. Some extra wood would have been nice for the savings she made as no use of power and water. No instructions were left in the property. My family all adults very respectful of the property. They left no rubbish, tidy up did not strip the beds. I will not be booking again this property,

  It was a last minute booking after a recent family bereavement, so generally, we were happy with the booking.

  However, there were a number of things we felt were in desperate need of modernisation. First of all, the bathrooms. The showers were particularly bad, the one in the bathroom upstairs didn't even attach to the wall, and there was no mirror above the sink so it was impossible to shave. There was a mirror above the sink in the wet room downstairs but the light wasn't working! The bedroom with the twin beds in (where we put our children) was particularly cold, and when the heating came on, the boiler in the room beneath them was so loud it woke them up at 5am for three days straight! I do understand that upgrading the boiler isn't cheap, but it was the noisiest I've ever heard and could easily be replaced with a much quieter one. All the pipes throughout the house banged loudly when the heating came on. Some urgent plumbing work is required. The TV was tiny and could be updated, there was no option to use catch-up or apps etc, something the owners could easily rectify. But I think the thing which really was unforgivable was that there were huge dog poos everywhere inside the grounds. Why these hadn't been picked up I really don't understand. I think it's obvious that this property is managed by a large agency who are clearly based several hundred miles away, and don't get to inspect it on a regular basis. I couldn't recommend staying here to anyone until some major refurb and clean up work is undertaken

  The perfect house! From the minute we arrived at Upper End House to the minute we left, we have the most fabulous time. The house was perfect for us, there was literally nothing we needed that wasn't provided and the house has been put together thoughtfully and a lot of love. We took care of it like it was our own. The house is well planned out, the kitchen diner was perfect for gathering the family whilst dinner was prepared and we enjoyed sitting in the living room playing quizzes of an evening, as there was plenty of room fo us all ( 7 in total). My little boy was delighted with the toy box and his toys didn't get touched all week! The house was well placed for travelling around the Cotswolds, we actually went to the Cotswold Wildlife Park, Blenheim Palace and Chedworth Roman Villa, which were great as well as visiting Burford and some of the surrounding villages. It's such a beautiful part of the country! We made the most of the garden as we had lovely weather. Our only regret is that we didn't book for longer. I can't recommend this beautiful house enough, thank you.

  We arrived at Upper End after two weeks of travelling in luxury hotels so I wasn't sure how we would feel after being spoilt from serviced environments. Any reservations were quickly discarded! The house was everything and more we could ask for. Homely, restful, clean and located in a rural spot where the birds sing but 5 mins from multiple towns including Burford which has many shops, restaurants and a coop for our grocery needs. The welcome eggs, milk and small supplies were greatly appreciated after 11hrs of travel that day. Our family of 5 couldn't have felt more rested and relaxed. We spent many mornings and afternoons by the fire after a day exploring the Cotswolds. The toys and books were a delightful touch to our country retreat. Upper End house left a warm feeling in all our hearts and should we be lucky enough to return we would book Upper End again without a second thought. Thank you so much We travelled from Australia and feel blessed to have stayed. Thank you Thank you Thank you 💗
