“We and our Jack Russell had a super four night stay at The Lodge, it’s a wonderfully cosy cottage in an equally lovely village, a real credit to the owners.”

Furnished and equipped to a very high standard a home from home, we found everything we needed and the little extras, tea, coffee, milk and yummy chocolate cake were an added bonus. Also our little dog enjoyed his treats that kept him happy while we unpacked. Ideal location for visiting the surrounding area. We’d love to return and would thoroughly recommend this property.

- Mrs Howell, October 2019
“Fantastic accommodation, thought of everything and a well equipped kitchen.”

Wouldn’t hesitate to book again or recommend.

- Ms Edwards, September 2019
“The pictures do paint a very positive picture, the cottage is even cozier and more up the scale than expected.”

And things provided telling about the owners hospitality. The restauration of the whole place is perfectly done without exaggeration. The surroundings are perfect for walking the dog. We would love to come back!!!

- Dr Mueller, August 2019
“What a fantastic cottage.”

It had everything we needed and more. It was spotlessly clean too! Perfect in every way.

- Mrs Fletcher, July 2019
“One of the nicest cottages we have stayed in.”

Lovely location, great local walks. Nice pub two doors up the road. Parking can be a pain, but we managed to park close to the cottage most of the time.

- Mr Seppings, June 2019
“2nd visit to The Lodge and looks even better in May!”

Garden being tended maintains the appearance

- Mr Turner, May 2019
“Our stay at the Lodge was absolutely perfect.”

It is a beautiful cottage in a really lovely village with amazing walks for us and our dog. The village is central enough for exploring the rest of the Cotswolds but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. The cottage is beautifully equipped with everything you need and more. We loved it and would highly recommend a stay here.

- Mrs Payne, April 2019
“The cottage was attractive and in the centre of a very pretty Cotswolds village, while still being peaceful.”

Everything we needed was provided in the cottage, nothing had been overlooked. The garden, though small, was well laid-out and pretty, and also dog-proof, which was important for us. There is a pub just 100 yards up the road, which is dog-friendly. There are many good walks nearby, including the walks to Bibury and back, from the cottage. The Wi-Fi worked well. We had some cold weather while we were staying in the cottage, but we were able to boost the heating, to have it on during the day, one day, and the log-burner worked well, so we were warm. We really couldn't fault the cottage.

- Mrs Walsh, March 2019
“A quaint, warm Cotswold renovated cottage that we and our dogs loved.”

2 minutes away from fields for the dogs to run and well-located for Burford, Cirencester in one of the Cotswolds prettiest villages. Always a bonus to have a friendly well-stocked shop at the top of the street

- Mr Turner, February 2019
“This was our fifteenth stay at the Lodge - generally visiting three times a year.”

Lovely as ever. Beautiful countryside for walking and stunning scenery for driving.

- Miss Luke, November 2018
“This was our 4th booking through Manor Cottages and they did an outstanding job in assisting with a cottage selection to meet our requirements in location and facilities.”

Their suggestion of The Lodge in Coln St Aldwyns met our specifications exactly. A most comfortable and charming cottage in an equally charming village. All the comforts we desired and ideally located for drives to other Cotswold villages. A 10 out of 10 rating

- Mr Inns, October 2018
“Lovely cottage with a lovely garden.”

- Mr & Mrs Hunt.,
“A lovely cottage in a great location.”

We enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing but busy week.

- Ms W,
“The location was great - rural and quiet, 100 yards from a good pub/restaurant and 200 yards from a local community run shop and cafÃ©.”

The Lodge had all the facilities we required. Clean and well looked after. Everyone we met in the village was very friendly.

- Mr Western,
“Can't think of anything to improve the property, it was absolutely perfect.”

- Mr Wood,
“Cottage was lovely - a real bonus to have 2 lounge areas; no arguing over the t.”

The cottage is beautiful and comfy, and a pleasure to come back to after a hard day of enjoying ourselves.

- Mr and Mrs S,
“Perfect week in a brilliant cottage.”

- The Birthe Family.,
“The cottage was very full equiped.”

Everything you may need during a holiday (and more) was available. The cottage is cosy and clean. Mrs Pipers, May 2017.

- Pipers,
“Location was amazing, lovely area, house so relaxing and comfortable.”

- Mrs George,
“: Lovely cottage - everything we needed was there and it felt like a real home from home in a beautiful village.”

- Mr Patching,
“Excellent area to stay.”

Cottage was clean, homely, well maintained

- Mrs Turnbull,
“The Lodge was perfect for my partner and I and our dog who loved lazing on the sheepskin rug.”

We are quite particular about what we like but really could not fault this lovely cottage. As soon as we were home we looked to book this cottage again for June/July but unfortunately for us it's already booked up, but we will be back next year for sure. Loved the cottage, the village and the local walks with our dog were fantastic!

- Miss Holt,
“We would give the Lodge five stars for everything.”

It was the perfect place to stay in a lovely quiet village. The owners had lots of information on the surrounding area and they seemed to have thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable.\ We were looking for a cottage that had a private garden and one that looked like a home rather than a rental property and with country walks from the door. The Lodge fitted our criteria perfectly. We just wish we could have stayed for longer!\ We hope to return one day soon!\

- Mr and Mrs Groves,
“The property was above my expectations in everything.”

The obvious effort made to ensure our comfort was noticeable. As a previous hospitality accommodation owner the emphasis on the hospitality aspect was present as is not always the case as many owners think it is about renting a building.

- Mrs Watts,
“Thank you for the cake and the use of your perfect cottage.”

- The Smiths/Woods.,
“Ã¢Â€ÂœThank you for an amazing Christmas!”

Beautiful cottage, in a beautiful place! Thank you so much for our presents also. One of our best Christmases yet! Thanks

- Kerry & Steve & Mambo (dog)Ã¢Â€Â,
“We would change nor add anything, it is a dream cottage.”

- Mr osborn,
“Many thanks for the hospitality tray, a very nice welcome to a lovely cottage.”

We have had a super time. All in all a lovely holiday.

- The Limage Sadler family,
“Good location.”

Local shopping. Very clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds with lovely soft furnishings.

- Mrs Morley,
“The cottage was furniture to a high standard and it was very well equipped.”

The owners have really made the cottage feel like a warm, cosy and inviting home. It does feel like a holiday let. The small details: the books around the house, the interesting ornaments, the welcome cake, the useful information everywhere, the umbrellas, the dog toys (not that we took a dog) but they have thought of everything to make this a home away from home.

- Ms Lewis,
“Spotlessly clean and well equipped”

- Mr Milnes,
“The cottage was well appointed the attention to detail was exceptional and the kitchen very well equipped.”

\ I would not hesitate to recommend or return.\ \
