Holiday Cottages With Hot Tubs In Gloucestershire

What our customers say about their holidays

  Unfortunately we didn’t have the stay we had hoped for.

  We booked a few months in advance with the property listing as having a hot tub and washing machine. When we had arrived at the house and tried to use the hot tub we had noticed no electrics were working outside in the ‘games room’ and the hot tub was also not working. We had communicated this with the owner who did attempt to resolve this by getting an electrician to visit however he was only able to resolve the games room electrics meaning the house which we booked for having a hot tub , was not usable. The electrician came back on our second day and still couldn’t resolve the issue with the hot tub. He had said the owner mentioned to him it was a last minute booking and that the issues would take time to resolve. However this booking was not in fact last minute and I would have hoped as the owner knew these problems existed that they would have been rectified before we had our holiday. We booked this house specifically for the purpose of having a hot tub and this had ruined our stay. We also found that although listed, the property didn’t have a washing machine which was disappointing for us for those needing it. We also had noticed quite a few exposed wires in the games room which we see as a potential risk. And in the downstairs room we were unable to have the main light on due to constant flickering which was sore on the eyes. I feel that this property needs some maintenance to ensure of a pleasant stay as the bathroom extractor fans were very noisy and quite a bit of mould in the upstairs bathroom. We were able to make use of the house however we would avoid it in future bookings as sadly the issues we had made the holiday we looked forward to to be quite disappointing.

  Do not book this property.

  The property is very dirty with stains on the carpets and sofas. No curtains in 2 of the rooms Mould in some rooms Lots of ingrained dirt in many areas- feels like it need a complete deep clean - yes I have many photos and videos to prove this. WiFi didn’t work - the owner rectified this very quickly - but was aware before our arrival. The hot tub was broken and the chlorine so high it destroyed some swim wear. The dart board didn’t work Heating in the games room Don’t work so we couldn’t use that. Indoor games room is very good. Spacious kitchen Decor is shabby - mould and wall paper coming away from the wall in several places. Front slabs move and are a hazard. Some of our group left early because of the noncurtain aspect on the bedrooms. Comfy beds. Only 1 bathroom for the house and the water doesn’t drain away in the shower- which we had to deep clean before using. The en suite shower is tiny and not good. There is one downstairs toilet. The freezer was very dirty in the draws inside. We would recommend the owner spend time cleaning and maintaining the property as it doesn’t look like the photos- it has a lot of potential As it is big- however it is now in need of repair and should not be rented out again until the long list of problems are rectified as it isn’t fair to paying customers and we are not the only ones! We are trying to get this resolved as it really impacted our special occasion as was not as advertised or described. We have reported this to Sykes as it really isn’t as it is portrayed in the photos and many features were not available during our stay.

  December 28th...I booked this cottage for my family after having had an extremely emotional and exhausting last few months of 2024 We all needed some R & R in lorry loads...and that's just what we received. It was an amazing place to stay and I really don't know where to start as I could enthuse on every room and it's contents. So much attention has been given to detail. The kitchen in particular was stocked with everything you could possibly wish for, indeed I did notice that most of the equipment came from John Lewis, not what you expect to see in a holiday rental but then again this isn't your usual holiday home The bed linen was 100% cotton and bathroom towels were huge and very comforting (I took a note of the name of the towels they were so absorbing and fluffy...will definitely get some myself) We booked for five days and in that time we only went out once as we were so cosy and warm with the lovely log fires and an efficient heating system. Spending Twixmas at Delacy was such an enjoyable time for my children, grandchildren and myself... bringing peace and warmth. I cannot comment on the surrounding areas as we didn't explore however we did take a stroll into the village centre - it hosts a small shop with limited items but enough for what we wanted and a pub... not the most hospitable establishment, one drink and we left...shame as it had so much potential Would I return to Delacy? Like a shot...and I will do one day.

  We stayed here for a family 30th birthday party.

  The house was beautiful on arrival, very clean and well presented. The space is huge and perfect for what we needed it for. We had an issue getting the heating on which was actioned and sorted very quickly by the owner. The house in general does need a bit of attention/TLC. A radiator had come off the wall, some windows/patio doors with no blinds or curtains, walls needing a real freshen up from scuffs and dents. There’s no drawers in the bedrooms which isn’t ideal when away for a week. Sofa beds are really only suitable for 1 person there’s no way you could get 2 people on them. Kitchen has plenty cups/plates/cutlery but there were a good few things that it didn’t have which you’d only really notice when cooking by which point it’s too late. Would also recommend bringing every single food item you need even down to salt/pepper/oil. No recycling facilities which isn’t great with the amount of rubbish produced by 18 people. Towels are very small but luckily had bought some of our own. Overall, it’s not total luxury if that’s what you’re looking for. But we did have a lovely stay and would probably go back if it were for another large celebration gathering. The external games room really made the whole week and was great fun. Really good size. And the hot tub is huge!

  This is a lovely, spacious house and is extremely well equipped.

  Indoors the rooms are large and well furnished. Outdoors there is lots of room room for the children to play, including an excellent climbing frame/swing (and a pool table in the games room). It is in a marvellous setting, where we could sit out and admire the wide, long views over the Severn river, and the countryside beyond, with just the sound of the birds and the sheep in the fields, but it is not in the back of beyond. Littledean, with pub/restaurants, an excellent fish and chip shop and a convenience store are 1.5 miles away, and it is only a 10 minute drive to Cinderford with its Tesco superstore and butchers shop (selling lamb from Moor Farm). The attractions of the glorious Forest of Dean are all within a 20 minute drive, with lots of walking and cycling for all abilities plus adventures like Going Ape. It is only 25 minutes to historic Gloucester, which also boasts impressive shopping. There are also walks starting right from the back door. We really appreciate owners Donna and Barry looking after us. Donna met us on arrival and gave us a guided tour. After that, they were always accessible for advice, but were in no way intrusive. All in all we had a fantastic holiday, and would thoroughly recommend Moors Farm.
