“Beautiful romantic cottage in lovely setting.”

Broadway is such a beautiful place to be, had a lovely weekend at the Lilacs.

Broadway is such a beautiful place to be, had a lovely weekend at the Lilacs.
Mr Martins November 2019

“It would have been ideal if the the place was warm when we got there as we had to sit with our jacket on for a few hours whilst the place heated up, the oven seemed very old & food did not cook well in it ( Cooker needs to be upgraded).”

. The kitchens utensils & and plates could have all matched as it seemed as if the items were 2nd hand Can opener did not work and there were no large kitchen utensils for cooking . There were no dishwasher tablets provide for the dish washer. The hot tub could have had a cover over it for the winter months, so that we were sheltered from the rain; also there was only one deck chair provided near the hot tub which did not look in good condition; considering there was 2 of us. Arrival time stipulated by the owner of 5pm is way too late as we had to navigate down a very dark road/compound ( 3pm seems like more of a reasonable time). In summary the locution was perfect however in my opinion the owner needs to spend some money to bring the basic items up to a modern standard which you would expect as part of a holiday/break experience.

“Good walks from door.”

Good selection of pubs restaurants and cafes within walking distance.local people friendly and helpful

“Lovely cottage in the beautiful Cotswolds.”

Added luxury of a hot tub.
Mrs Wood July 2019

“We had a lovely week staying at The Lilacs.”

We found the accommodation met our needs adequately. It has a lovely setting and is very quiet. A couple of small things that would have improved our stay include providing kitchen roll, sufficient toilet rolls, another set of towels, a hand towel for the kitchen. Also, the livingroom area is not very 'cosy'. This did not bother us really as we were there in the summer and out most of the time but in winter it may feel a bit cold. However, that said we did have a wonderful break, which was very relaxing and this was helped with the use of the hot tub. We would stay there again but be a bit better prepared in what we would bring with us.
Mr Holmes June 2019

“The property offered two very good-sized rooms, one forming the lounge, dining and kitchen area.”

The space for the kitchen was somewhat restricted as part was under the slope of the stairs. The equipment lacked a few items, such as a heatproof measuring jug. The bedroom and bathroom were very spacious but would have been improved by the addition of two simple chairs. A little more shelf space in the bathroom, such as bathroom cabinet, would have been helpful. The games room had a full sized snooker table in very good condition but the lighting and general tidiness left a lot to be desired. The location of the property so close to the centre of Broadway and the property's garden were both winning points.
Mrs Moon May 2019

“Having rented quiet a few cottages now with Sykes and have always been completely satisfied with holiday let’s .”

Accurate listings and at realistic prices . Very reliable service.
Mrs Arnatt May 2019

“The location of the property,approximately 10 minutes walk from Broadway is quiet and peaceful and offers level access to plenty of good walks and the facilities of the village.”

The accommodation is attractively furnished and decorated with plenty of room in both the ground floor living area and the upstairs bedroom and shower room. Overall it is comfortable and warm. There is a private west-facing garden to sit out in and a hot-tub if the weather allows. We were most disappointed with the "kitchen" (part of the only room downstairs) which is inadequate and could not be described as "well-equipped kitchens, perfect for preparing meals and picnics". In actuality, the kitchen area is set partly under the stairs and consists of a sink and draining board, the hob and a piece of worktop, of approx. 600mm wide that is filled with the toaster, microwave and chopping board. Nowhere to set out plates, make sandwiches and certainly very difficult to cook much. We try not to cook much on holiday, but this was a challenge even to prepare a simple breakfast. A few supplies were left for us on arrival, consisting of a home-made cake, 4 tea bags and equivalent amounts of coffee and tea. A small jug of milk was in the fridge. There was also a tea towel, a dishcloth, washing up liquid and one dishwasher tab. Unfortunately the description of this rental is not accurate. Described as "These wonderful, stone-built cottages are set in the grounds of the owner’s home" the property "The Lilacs" is actually a two-storey section of the owner's large house seen in the picture, not "stone-built", and while technically in the grounds, we feel this is misleading. When I rang Sykes call centre before booking the call handler seemed not to understand my question.

“Fabulous”

Stayed here for a long Easter weekend and it was beautiful, lovely views, kind hosts and stunning location. The accommodation was simple, clean, fresh and the hot tub was brilliant!! Only thing I’d mention is we had a few dogs come in the garden through the bushes from the neighbouring property didn’t bother us as we love dogs just something to consider if you aren’t keen (ether way they are very friendly and don’t cause any bother, just going for a wonder). Overall excellent stay and superb location and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
Miss Edwards April 2019

“Generally a beautiful location and accommodation can’t wait to visit again and the Sykes cottages website was very easy to use and book and gave us all the information we needed !”

Very impressed
Miss Hutchings March 2019

“Spent a great four days at The Lilacs Was very lucky with the weather but the apartment was warm and comfortable Very clean and well presented.”

with a very comfortable bed But did lack a few basics. No soap kitchen roll or tea towels The kitchen is very compact but I don’t go on holiday to spend time cooking so it wasn’t a problem There are lots of places to eat in Broadway and a very good Deli and fantastic fish and chip shop if you fancy a picnic in the garden Wasn’t brave enough to try the Hot Tub But it looked very inviting Loved the cake as a welcome and just enough tea coffee and sugar to get you started If you are spending a few days in The Cotswolds I would recommend The Lilacs I’m sure you would enjoy your time as much as I did
Mr Rye March 2019

“Fantastic accommodation which acted as a great base to explore the cotswolds.”

Lovely welcome and great facilities. Thank you for a lovely stay
Mr Evans February 2019

“We loved the apartment and the location which was a short walk to Broadway.”

Lovely views from the very spacious bedroom. Excellent en-suite. The enclosed garden and jacuzi were delightful. The underfloor heating was brilliant. The only slight drawback was the smallish kitchen area but that didn't bother us unduly as we ate out. All in all a great stay.
Mr Green November 2018

“Amazing cottage 100% stunning and everything we wished for and we will definitely be back soon”

“Had a lovely couple of days here.”

Very peaceful, beautiful surroundings, a nice 15 minutes walk away from the Center of broadway. And the hot tub was a super Brucie bonus.
Ms Carlton September 2018

“The cottage was bright and lovely, and the surroundings beautiful.”

It was very quiet and tranquil. The only issue we had was that I had made a pointed effort to guarantee that we would have either an American king bed (6 feet wide), or twin beds. I contacted Sykes and "chatted" with someone who assured me that we would have a California king, and if anything changed we would be notified ahead of time. We called the host, who was next door, and she sent her daughter over, to whom we explained the situation and gave her a copy of the on-line chat conversation. There was also a lightbulb out in a lamp, and the daughter took the bulb back and said she'd explain everything to her mother. We never heard back about anything. At the very least, I expected the host herself to say she was very sorry, but unfortunately she couldn't do anything about it, etc. Too bad, because it was the only thing that was a disappointment, and it did impact our overall experience, as we both have to be careful about our backs. Sleeping accommodations are one important part of that care. I recommend that Sykes stay in closer touch with the hosts and make very clear the specifications of the offer.

As my husband and I don’t always eat out at night we felt that the cottage lacked a few kitchen utensils and equipment and the lounge needed a larger sofa but we enjoyed our stay at the lilacs the hot tub was wonderful and Peter and Susan were wonderful

The only disappointment was the fact that the furniture in the lounge wasn’t comfortable and large enough to be able to fully relax it really needs a much larger sofa to accommodate two people comfortably and maybe some outside loungers other than that a lovely cottage
Mr Nicholas June 2018
