Reviews
The cottage was dirty, the crockery was chipped. The garden was very untidy and the garden furniture was rusty. The toilet broke shortly after our arrival and we were without the main bathroom for almost 3 days. It necessitated 3 visits , one from a rep at 10pm and 2 from a plumber who managed to fix it in the end.It had not been made clear that the cottage was unsuited to the elderly due to uneven floors and steps into every room.A comment has now been made on the site. Sykes had promised on a phone call to give us compensation but have now back tracked on that and said we will receive nothing.We have used Sykes many times but after this poor experience will not use them again due to their poor accommodation and dishonesty.
We absolutely love to find places with a bit of character, somewhere we can base ourselves and explore nearby towns, go walking but also to relax in between. This cottage did not let us down at all. If you want all mod cons, then this might not be the place for you, having said that, the WiFi was good strength, the bath and shower were brilliant (and the bath has a jacuzzi / bubbles function!) and there’s a htmi cable for those who want to plug in a fire stick to watch a film or two. The kitchen has everything you could need; oven, toaster, microwave, cafetière, kettle, every pot and pan you can think of, and all the utensils. We were worried that it said there was a small freezer, and in comparison to the fridge it is just a drawer, however this was bigger than we expected and managed to get some bags of frozen bits in there with room to spare. The living room we fell in love with straight away, the character is beautiful especially with the central fire - proper cottage style although we didn’t use it due to the time of year. There was a dining area which gave plenty of room, and a window seat, plus allowed us to play some board games in the evening too. The bathroom is spacious, and the garden is beautiful. We took advantage of having our morning coffee outside, and also a few drinks and a bbq one evening, without anyone having view of the garden so nice and private. The upstairs took us by surprise, it had barely changed from when it was first created, the flooring is traditionally uneven as you would expect in an old cottage that’s a few hundred years old, but equally well maintained so that there are no squeaks or trips or dangers, just lots of character. Both bedrooms are lovely in size, and both have a wardrobe, with the master bedroom having an en suite and tv as well. Every morning I woke up with a grin due to the quaintness. We loved everything about it. We had a minor problem with a wasp visitor for two mornings (only 1 and at 5am dead sharp!) and spotted a wasps nest in the thatched roof. It didn’t bother us as none were getting in during the day, but Malcolm the owner and Ali the caretaker could not have been more efficient. Within 24 hours of sending a text, we had messages and calls updating us, and the problem sorted by the next morning! Nothing is too much of a problem for them. The cottage is really well positioned, parking is first come first served however we used the car 4/7 days we were there and never had to park anywhere other than outside the cottage. There are plenty of places to eat and drink, we thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere of Da Luigis, and also the Eight Bells. We visited shortly after lockdown restrictions were lifted and were dubious of going out for a meal but everywhere we went made us feel safe and welcomed. Wonderful place to Explorer the Cotswolds from, gorgeous cottage and very well kept. Highly recommended!
Sad disappointment.Neglected,poorly maintained inside and out,moldy odors,old towel stained brown left to stop water coming in,leaking washing machine,rusty and moldy shower,stained furnishings,sheets,water damaged wall, stiff towels,unwashed kitchenware and countertop, So much potential, a shame, it could be so sweet with some care. We had to leave within 24 hours, which we did,and now have to battle the owner who denies it all, despite photos takes no responsibility and implies we fabricated the situation.Like we'd want to wreck our trip, spend more, scurry to find new accommodations and be so upset? Manor Cottages has no interest in customer relations, they won't mediate.Find something else with another company.
