What our customers say about their holidays

  The house itself was well equipped and the owners were friendly.

  When you could neither open nor close the outside doors without the use of force, they immediately tried to solve the problem. They couldn‘t. They told us, it must be because of the extreme weather- conditions. The next problem was the heat in the house. You simply could not air the house, because the only window to provide a stream of air was fixed and therefore not to open. In our son‘s room was boiling heat. The large bedroom was slightly better because of the two windows. Also you could not sit outside because there was no sunshade. The neighbour- house was better, because they had the shadow of large trees in the late afternoon. Two times the wifi broke down but worked again a couple of hours later. A minor problem was that the tub- water wasn‘t cold but mostly hot because of the extreme outside heat. The dinner- table is too big for the place. A maximum of two people can sit there. Not four. Since we stayed there for two weeks we appreciated that on the first friday our beds were made and the floor hovered. The owner charged no extra- fee for that. As a summary we would rather not choose the house again even though it was rather cheap.

  Hoden View is a clean, bright and well appointed cottage with all the amenities you need.

  The owners had very kindly left a bottle of wine and some other provisions for us on our our arrival. There is ample parking and the cottage is nice and private. It is in easy reach of places of interest such as Broadway. There are plenty of footpaths and bridleways nearby which was great for us as we have a dog. Due to previous heavy rain many of the paths were very boggy - but that is hardly the fault of the owner. The cottage is situated down a single-track lane approximately 1 mile from the nearest village. Whilst it is nice and secluded, it is a bit of a trek on dark winter nights if you wish to visit the local pub. The furnishings and facilities are all first class. Our only slight criticism was the double bed which was a little too soft for our liking. We would definitely recommend Hoden View to other visitors, but it might be wise leaving it until the lighter nights when the walk to the pub would be more pleasant and the fields would be drier for walking the dog.

  Lovely property and location which is very well maintained and extremely suitable for our little puppy as well.

  Unfortunately we decided to cut our stay short as the double bed seemed super small, especially for the size of the room, and the mattress was extremely uncomfortable, very soft and unsupportive, especially on the edges that we had a terrible nights sleeps for two nights and were lucky not to actually roll out, not ideal on a short break that was supposed to be a relaxing getaway, hence why we left early. Also the sofa wasn’t very comfy either which was a shame. We are both average sized adults so nothing out of the ordinary. Only other constructive suggestions would be a smart TV so streaming / casting is an option, especially as you already have good WiFi and boosters, and finally we couldn’t find any oven gloves so may be a good addition. A few small changes and we would definitely return in the future but unfortunately it didn’t work for us on this occasion.

  We had a really wonderful week in this lovely, clean, well appointed cottage.

  Very comfy chairs & footstools in the lounge. There was everything in the kitchen that you could possibly need, with quality cutlery/crockery etc.& a lovely welcome tray. The bedding & towels, were beautiful, all top quality. A nice bedroom, overlooking the garden with a very comfortable bed & separate spacious dressing room. A beautiful bathroom & shower. A lovely quiet, well looked after garden, with new garden furniture for dining outdoors, & dappled shade if needed. It was a quiet area, with a short cut through walk to the river Avon & Stratford town centre. Lovely walks along the river, lots to see & do. Parking on the driveway. This is the nicest self catering holiday accommodation we have ever had, a very pleasant surprise. If we could give this cottage higher than 10 we would. Thank you for a lovely holiday. Sandra

  Excellent cottage.

  Perfect location for visiting Cotswolds as only 8 miles from both Moreton-in Marsh and Stratford. Garage only 2 mins walk has newspapers and essentials. Supermarkets were a short journey away. Cottage was warm and cosy. Bed and sofas were comfortable and the overall fixtures and fittings were good quality. Rooms, especially bathroom was a lot larger than expected and the kitchen area was sufficient for cooking meals. Sitting out area would be pleasant in the warmer months although it would not get the afternoon sun. Parking was not an issue and we were able to unload and load outside the door of the cottage. The owners were available if needed (we didn't) and were kind enough to leave a bottle of water outside the door when the water company turned off the water unexpectedly. Would highly recommend and revisit.
