October Cottage

No DVD player as claimed, which for film buffs could be a disappointment.

Other than that, no complaints. The cottage was utterly charming, and the wooded garden was extensive and very pleasant with great seating areas. Couldn't fault the location. Very beautiful. And lots to do in the nearby town of Stroud, which also has some great shops and two independent book shops!

This is the second time we have stayed at this beautiful cottage.

So comfortable and has everything you need. Location is great with lovely walks nearby. We are already planning our next stay

A well presented and equipped cottage in a glorious setting.

We enjoyed our stay. Older people needing to get up in the night need to be aware that the bathroom is downstairs at the end of the kitchen.

Just one word SUPERB

Lovely stay thank you

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage.

The bed & linen are so comfy, we had everything we needed for a lovely stay. Hillary the host was wonderful, we arrived to home made cake and a bottle of wine, she also went out of her way to get me a birthday card, very thoughtful

Property was beautiful, lovely and quiet and had everything we needed for our stay.

The welcome cake and bottle of wine was a pleasant gesture. Cleanliness I put as a 4 star, the property was clean and presented beautifully on arrival, however, it was a bit dusty & dirty behind the furniture. We moved the armchair to get a better view of the tv and it was dusty and dirty behind it in the living room. I also moved the bedside draws to use the plug and there was all cobwebs and thick dust behind. I understand the property is old but the cobwebs could still be removed from behind furniture and on windowsills. It honestly didn’t affect our stay as the settings and surroundings was perfect for us I just wanted to mention it. The gardens were lovely and our dog loved having a wander around and listening to the geese! We would definitely recommend October cottage and stay again.

A really quaint cottage, very pretty and surrounded by glorious trees and woodland.

With delicious homemade cake to greet us and also a bottle of wine. Ample logs for a roasty, toastie fire which warmed up the cottage gorgeously. The beds were comfortable and the sheets and towels smelt heavenly! Felt like a hidden retreat, tucked away in the valley.

This is a very quaint and comfortable cottage in the Cotswolds.

Very well equipped with a fantastic wood burning stove which was very controllable and the owners provided all the wood. The location is excellent, secluded and dark at night. Overall a great place to stay.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting.

Well equipped kitchen and cozy sitting room. Beds were comfortable. The second bedroom was a little short on storage space. Parking arrangements could have been better. Might be a bit chilly in the winter as the original windows didn’t close well. Very pleasant stay in this Interesting area.

We had a lovely stay at October cottage - clean, well equipped, with a beautiful garden landscape and access to walks around the estate.

Hilary was great with instructions and such a lovely host.

Lovely property and setting, We enjoyed a lovely walk from the cottage along the Thames and Severn Way towards Sapperton.

The access road to the cottage is very steep and narrow, so confidence, experience and a vehicle that isn’t too big is helpful!!

We had a lovely stay thank you at October cottage, such a pretty place.

The welcome cake and wine was very appreciated. The information in the booklet was very helpful. Thank you we loved visiting the Cotswolds.

I was ill during our stay unfortunately so we could only stay 2 nights instead of the 4 that we paid for, however the owner of the cottage (who was unfortunately away that week) was kind enough send a text to ask after me.

In any case we would have not have felt encouraged to venture out in the car as access to the cottage was through a very steep, windy and narrow lane that we were quite relieved we only had to tackle twice!

Lovely holiday cottage, clean and tidy.

Perfect for our weekend break. As with most photos, the size does not come across - this is a little cottage so don't pack too much. Having said that the location is fabulous and very relaxing. Best bit? The log fire with a glass of something and a good book. Enjoy!

Hilary was very helpful , and made us feel extremely welcome Loved the cottage - very warm and cozy !

!

The cottage was beautiful, very comfortable and warm.

The bed is the most comfortable I have ever slept in. I loved the beautiful quality crockery, it was a really nice touch. We booked the cottage because of the log burner but we were very inexperienced and could not get it to stay lit, sadly we didn’t ask for advice until our last day. The cottage was everything I hoped for and more.

We and our dog had a lovely stay here .

It's a fantastic quaint cottage with everything you could ask for. In a quiet secluded lane. Greeted with cake and a bottle of wine and some milk was lovely after our drive. Lighting the log fire and didn't take long to warm the place up . The bathroom has a lovely walk in shower and toilet and sink . Kitchen had everything you could ask for . The only problem we had was we couldn't just let the dog out into the garden as the garden is across the cobbled drive way but it wouldn't stop us going back . Thank you for letting us enjoy your cottage and garden and for the extra logs for the fire. Hearing the owls at night was lovely.

We had a lovely short break in October Cottage.

The kitchen is very well equipped and the lounge is cosy, especially with the log burner. Loads of logs and kindling in the massive log store. It is in a very peaceful position where you hear nothing apart from nature, including owls. I loved my daily chat with Ray the gardener a lovely man. I would recommend this cottage to anyone.

What a find.

October Cottage is absolutely beautiful. Lovely little touch was the cake on arrival together with a bottle of wine. A fabulous long weekend to just relax in a beautiful cottage and garden. Thank you so much.

It was the most enjoyable experience and the garden was a great boost with our large dog.

I would suggest taking a tennis racket and ball in the wood. We totally recommend this cottage.

A very cosy cottage, in a quiet place.

Beautiful garden, and very friendly host.

We enjoyed our stay at October Cottage.

It was just the right size for the 2 of us. The bathroom was downstairs which for some people might be an inconvenience and was a bit cold. The directions from the main road could be better - we went up and down the lane 3 times!

A delightfully quaint little cottage with everything required to ensure a wonderful holiday can be had and enjoyed whilst surrounded by beautiful countryside scenery.

LOVELY!

Beautiful country cottage, great peaceful location, lovely welcome with attentive hosts. And the comfiest bed ever! Highly recommend.

Very cosy and extremely cute!

Garden is a real added bonus. The only negative comment I would make is that the kitchen drain smelt a bit but that’s probably down to the hot weather

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at October Cottage.

Whilst this is, as previously stated, a compact cottage it was perfect for myself, husband, teenager and small dog. This really is a home away from home with everything you’ll need to enjoy your stay including comfy beds, usual mod cons and and a decent sized shower with slate floors and rugs. Hilary was a delight and very helpful without compromising our privacy. We arrived to fruit cake and wine, simply perfect. The cottage is perfectly situated for surrounding walks and attractions of the Cotswolds and the canal walk via Lavender cafe for amazing cake supplies is a must. Follow the canal for a pub lunch at the Daneway Inn before the hour or so long stroll back to Chalford! Although chapel cottage rental next door was occupied it may as well have been empty and certainly didn’t affect our stay! All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the charming October cottage which is a must for those seeking a perfectly chilled trip to the Cotswolds.

Delightful, cosy, super comfortable.

Everything provided to create a perfect holiday retreat.

This is a very quaint little cottage for two, would be squashy for more I think.

I hadnt appreciated there was an adjacent cottage (as well as the owners part of the house), which can overlook anywhere you choose to sit outside. The main part you want to sit in, is the car parking area right in front of the cottage so if the other cottage is occupied, their cars and yours completely block your view and pleasant sitting out area. There is a very nice wooded garden away from the house. Very cosy feel, fantastic woodburner, well equipped kitchen. Nice modern bathroom. The downstairs is all slate floored so very cold and hard, bring padded slippers. Lovely walks eg along the river to the various cafes. Very steep terrain all round.Lots to visit eg Minchinhampton Common. Helpful owners. Dont follow the directions given by Sykes, Go right straight away up the no through road as soon as you enter Old Neighbourhood.

A really lovely cottage, thoughtfully equipped and planned, and a fantastic area to visit- so much to see!

The beds were incredibly comfortable and the woodburning stove fantastically efficient. We certainly hope to return.

We so enjoyed our stay at October Cottage in the stunning village it is set in.

The cottage was cosy and comfortable for a family of 3. The fireplace was great and well stocked with wood for us to use. The owner kindly left mince pies as a welcome snack for us. We heard the resident owl in the early hours of the morning of our departure. So beautiful to hear. We will definitely be back to enjoy another relaxing stay and more walks through the village. Highly recommended.

What can i say.

The cottage and surroundings are fabulous, we have had such a relaxing week.Its very hilly but the views are to die for.It was lovely lying in bed listening to the Owl's and the village is a nice stroll from the cottage. Cirencester is well worth a visit .We were going to do so much but the cottage was just to cosy we didn't venture too far. Would we stay again YES, in fact we seriously considered squatting we didn't want too leave .

Fantastic stay for our family, stunning location and beautiful property.

Looking forward to returning.

A beautiful cottage that was everything we’d hoped for.

Hilary was so helpful and on arrival we were met with fresh flowers, wine and cake. The cottage was immaculate and filled with lovely homey touches; art, ornaments, cosy throws and cushions. The kitchen is one of the best equipped we’ve found which matters to us as we like to cook. It’s situated in a great location, quiet but accessible to lots of great places. We loved our time at October cottage and can highly recommend it.

the car parking was tight finding the place difficult

Lovely cottage!

Would definitely book again.

We had a fab honeymoon in October cottage!

Lovely place and surroundings and we were treated to some bubbles!!! Great base for the Cotswolds!!

A lovely cottage set in beautiful surroundings.

Would definitely recommend.

Hilary made us feel very welcome and it was a lovely area with great walks.

Highly recommended.

Fantastic location and beautiful relaxing Accomodation - Hilary couldn't do anymore for you- very welcoming even with a bottle of wine!

Highly recommend - perfect staycation break!

We had a wonderful week at October Cottage, a very special place .

We do hope to return

Location was lovely.

Very impressed with the cleanliness and facilities at the cottage - like a home from home. Owner very nice and helpful! A really relaxing stay. Would stay again/recommend!

A warm, comfortable cottage in an excellent location with everything you need for a visit to the Cotswolds.

Hilary was the perfect host and the wine was especially welcome.

Enjoyed our stay Only issue was the WiFi which wouldn’t connect all week
