“All upstairs thermostat valves do not work and with heating on radiators were extremely hot.”

I had to turn them down using the lockshield valves as thermostat dials were loose. ...

I had to turn them down using the lockshield valves as thermostat dials were loose. Water is immersion heated and scalding hot. I also tightened the toilet seat that had been reported as an issue in previous property reviews....it was close to becoming detached. Cottage decoration is very tired, disappointingly so and given its rating I had expected better. WiFi is poor. Best speed I could get from it was 1.5 mb/s, not great for almost everything. Traffic noise is bad but many reviews say this...just didn't realise how bad. Rooms need better curtains or blinds especially for those staying in lighter months. In general nice cottage but it is tatty and needs a good deal of TLC for a much better guest experience and to present the cottage as it deserves to be.

- Mr Stanley, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear of the issues that you encountered during your stay and want to assure you that we have rectified the radiator problem with new thermostats dials replaced. WiFi is sketchy in this area due to the rural location. The property is located on a B road and as such, cars can travel quite quickly outside the house. We are working with the owner to look at improvements at the property to ensure a better guest experience. We would love to welcome you back to Honeysuckle Cottage in the future and thank you once again for providing us with your feedback. Property Owner
Mrs Howcroft September 2021

“This cottage is in serious need of a makeover, considering the price.”

Carpets are dirty, the kitchen sink was dirty, no extra pedal bin liners, no freezer, no hand sanitizer or wipes, no window to open in main bedroom and a tv in there would be nice, only 2 toilet rolls, toilet seat loose and the carpet was dirty in the bathroom. An outside bike shed would be nice as we had to keep putting ours in the kitchen at night. No windows to open, we had such a hot week that we had to leave both doors open for some air. Plenty of cutlery and utensils but it was the lack of cleanliness that let it down, nice location, plenty of walking and cycling was done.

- Mr Jacob, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback. I'm very sorry to hear that the cottage was not up to the standards that you expected and that you were missing some key items during your stay. Your comments are very much appreciated and have been passed on to the property owner. Property Owner
Miss Whitehorn April 2021

“I loved the added touches of the biscuits and the fully stocked kitchen with a dishwasher.”

The hot water/water pump was confusing at first and trying to figure it out late on a friday night was not the relaxing experience I was hoping for. A carpeted bathroom feels unhygienic, and coupled with only a low window to air it out will lead to damp problems. The house is decorated to a high standard, and the sofas are comfortable for a short stay. Overall I would not stay here again as it is not the "luxurious" cottage holiday I want, but if you are looking for a place to stay in the heart of the Cotswolds you could do a lot worse.

“My family and I had a wonderful stay at Honeysuckle cottage.”

The cottage was tastefully done, with all the necessary amenities available. On arrival, we soon realized there were only 2 bath towels and 2 hand towels (for a group of 4 people) and 1 toilet paper (for 4 nights / 5 day stay). This was soon rectified by Manor Cottages. The one aspect which was a bit disappointing was the boiler not working the first night. A boiler service person had to come in twice (across 2 different days) to fix the boiler - this left us with no central heating (only electrical heaters) for the 1st night (during which the temperature dropped below zero). We were informed that the boiler issue was previously known to the owners, which of course wasn't what one would expect when booking a holiday cottage. Overall good stay, other than the above.

- Mr Pasari, April 2021

Many thanks for your feedback and happy to hear you had a wonderful stay. We do apologise that maintenance couldn’t get the boiler up and running and for the inconvenience of people having to attend the property. We are in discussion with the owners regarding the boiler.

“Awful weather but the cottage was mostly warm and comfortable ...”

Awful weather but the cottage was mostly warm and comfortable Window frames leaked badly in the wind and rain, resulting in puddles on the window sills No freezer, or freezer box in the fridge Kitchen sink had a bowl under to catch a leak; bowl was overflowed - pipes were loose - we reconnected Two radiators upstairs were cold - bleeding would probably cure the problem Instructions for heating were not accurate and the WiFi password in the information pack was wrong Despite above Sykes responded well, the owner not so impressive We thoroughly enjoyed our week and would be glad to use Sykes again

- Mrs Dyer, February 2020

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you experienced problems during your stay and are happy we could help. We will pass your comments on to the owner. Property Owner
Mrs Soens July 2019

“Cleanliness could be better: cobwebs.”

As it was a hot week, it was a shame that we couldn't open a window in the double bedroom. The table on the terrace was rather small, so eating outside wasn't possible. The cottage was very cosy and the bathroom had an excellent shower! We also appreciated the tv with Netflix account. We had a wonderful holiday.

The property

Honeysuckle Cottage is a classic Cotswolds Cottage, set overlooking local countryside, and a short distance from Stow on the Wold.

The property is presented in an attractive, fresh style yet with a cosy, homely feel that we feel is as suited to families as it is to couples.

Downstairs is an open plan space with open fire and large sofas plus a well equipped kitchen, while upstairs are two good sized bedrooms both with views across the Cotswolds countryside.

With Stow on the Wold a few minutes up the road you have an excellent selection of pubs, cafes and antique shops and art galleries close by (for the grown ups!) while for the children, Adam Henson's (of BBC Countryfile) Cotswolds Farm Park is only a few minutes away - there's plenty to keep everyone happy!

There are some quite amazing walks taking you into arguably the most attractive part of the Cotswolds countryside.

This is a sweet cottage, absolutely perfect for couples or families wishing to enjoy an exceptional area of the Cotswolds.
