“A spacious cottage in an excellent location.”

We loved it! (Garden needed some TLC and not enough bin bags, but these were just minor details) All in all - brilliant! A great place for a family get-together!

“A beautiful cottage, clean and comfortable.”

The kitchen was adequate, but would not be great for serious cooks, and we would have appreciated more information in the folder about recycling bins and where to find them, but otherwise a delightful place to stay, and we would return without a doubt.

- Helen, April 2022

Pleased to hear you had a delightful stay. We will address the comment with regards to recycling bins. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

“We enjoyed our stay in the Cotswolds and the cottage location was perfect for exploring Broadway itself and the surrounding area.”

The cottage overall is attractive, clean and spacious with the bonus of parking in a central location. Unfortunately we were disappointed with a number of aspects in the cottage itself and were extremely concerned the bath shower mixer has still not been fixed resulting in very hot showers that certainly would not be safe for children. We found all of the sofas and dining chairs in the property to be uncomfortable and the downstairs bedroom very cold in March, the freestanding bath is a lovely feature but the room was too cold to use it, the underfloor heating also made a loud clicking sound throughout the night. Despite additions to the kitchen equipment mentioned in previous reviews we found the kitchen to be poorly equipped with a number of key items missing eg. tongs, small sharp knives, oven gloves and the crockery and utensils provided to be inadequate when cooking meals for 7 people. For what we paid we expected better and with a winter stay would have liked to have been more comfortable when spending time in the property. Incidentally, the starter pack of logs mentioned in the description was not provided.

We’re sorry to hear this review.. The shower mixer has now indeed been repaired. The sofas are in good repair and meet all current legislation. We have always found them very comfortable; the dining chairs are antique and possibly not to everyone’’s taste but are in keeping with the historic nature of Yarn cottage. The electric underfloor heating is permanently set at 20c and easily turned up on the thermostat if guests need more heat. the fact that they click indicates that the temperature was indeed 20c and being maintained.. This is just the way the electrical rely works.. An ambient temperature of 20c is generally more than adequate for normal living.. we are sorry you don't feel the same but as we said earlier the heating is easily turned up. We struggle to see how the kitchen is not equipped for 7.. We provide cutlery, glasses and dinnerware for 12.. we will review the utensils and replace if needed as occasionally they do get taken by guests.. Had you contacted us during your stay any issue would have been rectified within the hour.. it is a shame that you waited until weeks after to bring alleged dissatisfaction to our attention..

“The cottage was a very good fit for our family Christmas and was nicely decorated with a tree and various other festive decorations.”

Having the two sitting rooms were perfect as we could all have a bit of 'space' when needed! The location of the cottage is also perfect for Broadway and there's an amazing children's play park 2 minutes away. We enjoyed our stay. There are now a few more knives, pizza cutter, colander, measuring jug, milk jugs, ice cream scoop & egg cups so don't bring them! Serving spoons & some mixing bowls would be nice. The only thing that keeps this cottage not being 5* is that as per the reviews going back to October the bathroom loo seat is still wonky and the bath/shower thermostat needs mending. Luckily there's a big jug that you can use to fill with cold water from the basin to cool bath water. Some occasional tables to put glasses/mugs on in the sitting rooms and chairs in the bedrooms are needed.

“This is a spacious property in a brilliant location, and we had a lovely stay.”

Just a few minor niggles are holding it off 5 stars - a broken kitchen tap, a wonky loo seat, a shower with an unusually stiff temperature dial - but I'm sure these are easily fixed. The owner was friendly and came out straight away to try and fix the shower. On the whole I would definitely recommend.

- Emily, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry to hear of the issues that you encountered during your stay and hope that these did not have a lasting impact on your retreat. The issues that you have reported will be resolved as soon as possible and we would love to welcome you back any time in the future. Property Owner

“Shortage of a small sharp (paring) knife ...”

“It was a beautiful cottage in an excellent location but it was quite tired with a few niggles.”

Broken loo seat, broken shelf in fridge, bedroom door knob which would fall off, only one cooking knife ( it’s hard to slice bread without a bread knife) for over £3000 I would have hoped for better quality. We did however have a very enjoyable holiday.

“The bathrooms and showers were good looking, but we had some concerns about the supply of hot water when more than one shower was running.”

The dining chairs were very worn (the seats) and uncomfortable. We appreciated the cookies, flowers and wine left for us to enjoy.

Thank you for your feedback. Your suggestions for improvement have been passed on to the owner. Property Owner

“The cottage was exactly as described in the brochure.”

It was spacious and very comfortable. The furnishings and decorative touches were elegant. The parking space was great to have although a little tricky to get into with a large car. The location was great - 2 minutes walk to the high street shops and restaurants but the road the cottage is on is fairly busy and it was rather noisy when sitting in the garden. The only real niggle is the lack of certain kitchen items. For instance there was no bread knife, sieve, colander, measuring jug, milk jug, egg cups, serving spoons, pizza cutter, ice cream scoop or general purpose plastic or pyrex bowls. It would have been tricky to do any real cooking.

- Helen, June 2021

Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay at Yarn Cottage. We're glad you had a lovely time at the cottage and appreciate your tips for improvement regarding kitchen items. We'd love to welcome you back again in the future! Property Owner

“Coming out of where the car is parked was very tricky.”

It took a bit of maneuvering. Also the downstairs bedroom needed a full length mirror and the wardrobe needed handles to open them more efficiently.

The property

Located in the centre of Broadway, 'the jewel of the Cotswolds', Yarn Cottage is the perfect base from which to discover the delights of this area.

Located just a few yards from the High Street (or 'broad way') what was previously a row of three terraced cottages believed to date back to the 1700's, Yarn Cottage has been lovingly converted into a single dwelling (a process continued by the current owners) to provide superb accommodation for families or friends.

Attention to detail can be seen at every turn, and the history of the cottage is apparent in the detail of the stone fireplaces and exposed stone wall in the kitchen.

In the twenty first century we expect a few more modern conveniences, and these are supplied in abundance: on the ground floor you will find a snug, where you can curl up with a good book, and a separate sitting room, complete with log-burner for those cooler winter evenings.

You have a superbly equipped kitchen as well as a light and bright dining area - where you could spend many happy hours discussing the day's events.

On the ground floor is the most recent addition to the cottage - a luxurious king-size bedroom, complete with free standing slipper bath.

On the first floor you will find a further three bedrooms, comprising of a king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room, a double room as well as a single room with day bed, offering a flexible sleeping arrangement for a variety of group needs.

Outside, on balmy summer evenings, why not take advantage of the private and enclosed patio and enjoy a spot of al-fresco dining.

When you decide to venture out you must explore the delights of the High Street, located just 50 yards from the cottage, where little has changed for hundreds of years.

Running from the base of Fish Hill, you can wander through its various sections, from the beautifully preserved, honey coloured sandstone homes, to the more popular tourist spot by the village green, with its array of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants.

Alternatively if you are feeling more energetic, take a walk-up Fish Hill to Broadway Tower and take in the stunning views.

A little further afield you could explore Stow on the Wold, or take a short trip to Bourton on the Water ' the Venice of the Cotswolds'.

If a bit of retail therapy is required, then Cheltenham is only 15 miles away.

Yarn Cottage really is the perfect base for families and friends when exploring this beautiful part of the world. ***FRIDAY ARRIVALS ONLY PLEASE***
