“We had fantastic stay in this lovely little cottage.”

It was spotlessly clean upon arrival and fully equipped with everything you need. Very well located to get around and see the beautiful areas of the Cotswolds. The owner was very helpful prior to our stay and sent us a welcome package of goodies which was a lovely touch. We would highly recommend this cottage and will hopefully be back soon. Thanks Mandy & Dave

“Great holiday, great cottage, had everything we could have possibly needed would definitely go back .”

Mrs Linnane August 2020

“School View is a charming cosy cottage in a perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds, Stratford upon Avon, Cheltenham and so many more places within easy reach.”

Alderton is a pretty little village with walks on your doorstep and a picture perfect English pub serving delicious food along the road. The cottage is so peaceful with the passing sound of horses hooves being the only noise. We were there during extreme heat and appreciated the shade of the trees in the larger than expected garden with its variety of fruit trees and herbs. Breakfast could be enjoyed outside on the patio area too. Inside was cool and well ventilated when the garden was too hot. We’ve never stayed in such a clean, well equipped holiday home. It really is a home from home. A comprehensive welcome guide - everything had been thought of by the owner. Mix of country and contemporary styles throughout. Large kitchen with plenty of cupboard space and excellent array of utensils, crockery etc. Cosy lounge diner with log burner. Two attractive bedrooms with plenty of hanging space, lots of hangers and a hairdryer. Good size bathroom with a shower over bath that works well with good pressure. Would return in a heartbeat.

Mr Dove December 2019

“As previous guests have said this is one of the nicest cottages we've rented.”

It's a real home from home with a top quality kitchen, bathroom and cosy lounge, the wood burning stove was a real highlight, very easy to light (full instruction provided) and really cheered up the cold December nights! School View only provides enough logs for one brief fire, other properties we've stayed in have provided a week's supply, this would be our only very minor gripe. In summary, a great place for a relaxing break at any time of year.

- Mr Dove, December 2019
Mr Shepherd October 2019

“The cottage was lovely very well equipped and very clean.”

It had a beautiful garden. The village is so pretty, with lots of thatched cottages. We found the locals very friendly. All in all, the cottage location made an ideal base to visit the picturesque villages and towns and castles in the area.

- Mr Shepherd, October 2019
Mr Hayward July 2019

“Great location, very well equipped and very comfortable.”

Can be some noise from the small school opposite but this is to be expected.

- Mr Hayward, July 2019
Mr Rowe June 2019

“This was the best ever cottage we have stayed in.”

The cottage had everything one would need and was really comfortable. We would recommend School View to anyone who would like to visit and tour the Cotswolds

- Mr Rowe, June 2019
Miss Burke April 2019

“Lovely cosy well equipped cottage with a wonderful garden for our little one to play in.”

Location was excellent with Worcestershire on the doorstep and all the major (Gloucestershire) Cotswolds sites all with 45 mins drive. Will certainly be back

- Miss Burke, April 2019
Mrs Smith March 2019

“The village is very attractive and very quiet and peaceful.”

- Mrs Smith, March 2019
Mr Smith December 2018

“My wife and I have just spent 14 days at School View for Christmas and New Year and must say the house was very well decorated, comfortable and clean.”

It has all the amenities and more. The kitchen accommodates for every need, from a 5 ring gas cooker to a citrus press. The living room has an excellent wood fire, comfortable settee and adequate seating for meals. Bathroom and bedrooms are also of a very high standard. Large well kept garden for the summer months. The house being situated in Alderton, is a very nice and quiet Cotswold village. The location is very good for taking day trips to different towns and villages in any 40 minute driving radius. This is not just a house too stay at in summer but also in winter. Would recommend to any party of two, maximum three. Kind regards John and Petra Berlin

Mrs Hajder November 2018

“Lovely warm and comfortable cottage.”

It was really clean and well equipped with plenty of the essentials like toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, hand wash etc. Plenty of walks from the door, so not necessary to use the car. Couldn’t fault it and hope to return.

- Mrs Hajder, November 2018
Miss Barnett October 2018

“The cottage was beautiful, cosy and decorated to a high standard.”

The kitchen had everything you could possibly need for a week away and the garden was lovely. There was lots of leaflet and books about things to do in the Cotswolds. We had a great relaxing holiday and we would definitely go back.

It was in an excellent, tranquil position for either walking The Cotswold Way as we did or for a general visit to The Cotswolds. Would highly recommend it and we will definitely book the place again. Such an enjoyable time..... Thank you all very much.

- Mrs Burns, April 2018

“A very well equipped, tastefully furnished and comfortable cottage.”

The garden is also very nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Well placed for visiting the Cotswolds, the Malvern Hills and the cities of Gloucester and Worcester. Pleasant walks to Dumbleton and other villages. The local pub Gardeners Arms is excellent. Thank you!
