Guests say
Maple Cottage is praised for its prime location, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches like wine and biscuits. Guests appreciate the private parking, garden, and proximity to Broadway. While some mention minor issues with facilities and maintenance, the overall experience is positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
The property is consistently described as clean, with high standards of cleanliness noted by several guests. However, a few minor comments about mould and a dirty extractor fan slightly affect the score.
The location is highly praised for being close to the high street and local attractions, with a quiet residential setting. The convenience of the location is a recurring positive theme in the reviews.
The cottage is generally found to be comfortable and well-furnished. However, some guests noted issues with beds and the heat during a heatwave, which suggests room for improvement in comfort.
Facilities are well-regarded, but several maintenance issues are raised, such as problems with the shower, heating, and appliances. The lack of a washing machine and clear instructions for the existing facilities are noted drawbacks.
Guests mention appreciative touches like wine and biscuits, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as not all reviews mention gifts and to ensure no expectation is set, it is noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.
About this property
Located in the spectacular and historical village of Broadway is Maple Cottage. A contemporary, terraced home perfect for families of four. As you step through the front door, you will immediately find the beautifully finished kitchen, equipped with all your conveniences, allowing you to make luxurious home-cooked meals, or even something as simple as a freshly made brew. Continue through to the lounge where you will find inviting sofas just waiting for you to relax in them, as you watch your favourite show on the Smart TV with a refreshing glass of wine in hand. As you move up to the first floor of the property, you will discover an opulent king-size bedroom with more than enough storage and a fantastic view of the back garden.
Immediately to the right of this is the well-presented family bathroom, equipped with a shower over bath, and further along, a second bedroom with a welcoming double bed, plenty of storage, and a great view of the neighbourhood. Moving back down to the ground floor you will find the conservatory with an ample size dining table and chairs, perfect for those early breakfasts whilst you plan your day. Exiting the conservatory will take you to the sumptuous garden, paved with a lovely stone patio and gravel flooring. This space has a small table with chairs, allowing you to enjoy a gorgeous summer evening in private.
Being based in Broadway, there is plenty to keep you entertained during your stay; the high street is located under a mile away from the cottage and features attractions such as the Gordon Russell Design Museum, Hunters Tea Room, and The Cotswold Larder Cakery. Spend the day in Evesham, where the Almonry Museum is waiting to be toured, why not walk along the River Avon and spend some time in the beautiful Hampton Ferry, or explore the vast woodland of Eoves Wood. Stow-on-the-Wold is a great day out, with a selection of galleries to visit, the beautiful landmark of Abbotswood to view and the delightful Queens Head Inn to end the day in.
Further afield, you will find other villages such as Blockley, Broad Campden, and Chipping Campden, all featuring historical sites, restaurants, and pubs. With so much at your doorstep, this is a holiday you won't want to miss out on.
Titled the 'Jewel of the Cotswolds', Broadway certainly lives up to its name; resting at the foot of the Worcestershire Hills and surrounded by unspoilt scenery, the village is a great location for those wanting to escape the busyness of life. Visitors can spend the day wandering through a plethora of independent shops and boutiques, before enjoying a tasty meal at one of the village's eateries. Walkers can relish the trails that weave through the village, including the route leading up to the historical Broadway Tower, beholding magnificent views of the village in the distance.

Probably the best we have stayed in. The private parking space, the enclosed garden for our small dog and the lovely short stroll of 10 minutes down a pleasant path into the heart of Broadway added much to our stay. The cottage was extremely well equipped and with little extras provided.
