  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!

  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.

  Mouse hole cottage was lovely and fit our needs very well: my mum is partially blind and has limited mobility and we both had a great time here.

  The cottage was very clean, surprisingly spacious and well presented with decor and furniture in keeping with the house. The extra "potty" flap on the downstairs toilet was amusing for us (2 adults) but would be very practical for families. The owners have clearly put thought into the needs of the customers as it had everything we needed and the welcoming wine and biscuits were a nice touch. It is an old cottage so creaks, cracks and low beams are to be expected ( mum and I are both short but taller people beware of the low beam on the landing!). In terms of position, the cottage is right on the main road of Winchcombe, everything we needed was in easy reach and the carpark moments away, my mum had no issues going back and forth. Be aware that the main bedroom does get road noise because of the road, the other rooms are quieter. Free parking for blue badges in the car park ( 3 spaces) was a nice surprise.

  The property was perfect and far more spacious than the pictures show.

  Everything was clean and tidy and the kitchen was well provisioned, we didn't want for anything, including a set of scales when we decided to make pancakes on a whim! The location is perfect for a central stay in Bourton and the 2 parking spaces made it so very easy to pop out for day trips without worrying about finding parking when we returned. The location is peaceful despite being so close to the centre of the town. The communication we had via Sykes and particularly the owners was fantastic, plenty of information beforehand and very quick and happy to respond to the few queries we had before and after arriving. The box of chocs left for us was a definite bonus and hugely appreciated by my daughter. All in all I would happily recommend this property.
