“Great stay in a well equipped cottage in a tranquil location A few improvements to feed back to the owners Would be : * The 18.”

00 check in with no option to request any earlier, was very difficult with babies and a young family. Very restrictive and off putting

00 check in with no option to request any earlier, was very difficult with babies and a young family. Very restrictive and off putting As check out was also early 10.00, this should give plenty of time to turn the cottage around for a 15.00 check in * Although all rooms were thermostatically controlled, the heating could not be turned off completely of lowered below 16 Deg C (the min 16 Deg C was to hot) * A vacuum cleaner (or hand held) would be nice

- Mr Henderson, October 2021

We do respond to guests who ask for an earlier check-in. Usually, if requested via phone or email we will do our very best to accommodate. Our housekeepers carry out a high standard clean at every changeover and often have more than one property to turn around in a day which is another reason other than Covid for the 18:00 check-in. There should have been a hoover available for use during your stay so we apologise for the fact that the housekeeper must have mistakenly locked it away. We're pleased you had a lovely stay regardless of these issues and would love to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
Mrs Sherwood August 2021

“Beautiful location and very appointed property.”

We had a lovely week, enjoying the views from the garden, and were very comfortable as 3 families with children from teenage to 2! A lovely week….

- Mrs Sherwood, August 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave a feedback, we are delighted you and the whole party enjoyed your stay and looking forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner
Mr Gledhill July 2021

“Spacious and well appointed, this property more than met our expectations.”

An ideal spot for our multi-generational holiday. The eight-year-old made the most of the large grassed area at the rear of the property and the newly installed play facilities on the nearby village green. Oxford, Blenheim Palace, Stow and Chedworth Roman Villa were among the many nearby Cotswold attractions and the village pub had a welcoming, friendly atmosphere as well as excellent food. The only minor criticism is that the hot water had been set at too high a heat for the eight year old to be able to wash his hands unsupervised.

- Mr Gledhill, July 2021

It sounds like you had a wonderful stay at Fairview Cottage. I'm so pleased to hear that the whole family were ale to enjoy what the property had to offer. Thank you for highlighting the temperature of the water as we can now investigate this. We'[d love to have you back to further explore the Cotswolds in the future. Property Owner
Mr Staff September 2020

“This is a beautiful cottage.”

It is very spacious, comfortable, has all the amenities one could hope for. The decor throughout is to a high standard. It was very clean. The bedding and towels were crisp, white which is always a good sign that cleanliness is important. The outlook from the sitting room through the french doors is beautiful countryside. It’s a nice village with a pub serving good food and a Co-op for shopping needs. The village is well placed for discovering the Cotswolds.

- Mr Staff, September 2020

Many thanks for leaving your lovely comments on Fairview Cottage. Property Owner
Mrs Howkins August 2020

“The property could benefit from some child friendly kitchen equipment.”

... plastic cups/plates etc... The cottage was fabulous- great space for our family gathering. Will consider again for next year!

- Mrs Howkins, August 2020

Thank you for considering the cottage for next year, we will pass your comments through to the owner regarding the child friendly kitchen equipment. Many thanks Manor Cottages Property Owner

“Incredible luxury home.”

- Dr Bandak, December 2019
Mr Ellinson August 2019

“House is well equipped with high quality appliances and fittings and very tastefully decorated.”

Everything is immaculate and we enjoyed the luxury of having a complimentary bedlinen change and a spruce up halfway through our two week stay. There is no dryer which I found surprising in a house that is equipped to such a high standard. A lovely touch was having garden furniture in the front as well as the back garden so that the sun can be enjoyed all day long. The front is very sheltered so is a real sun-trap. There is an excellent village shop a short walk away and the local library a stone's throw away has very friendly staff and allowed us to borrow books. It has an excellent children's section which is a good backup for a rainy day if you have little ones, and the village play area is very well equipped, much better than my big city park back home. Very quick and efficient response by Manor cottages and the owners when we had any queries or issue with the accommodation.

- Mr Ellinson, August 2019
Mrs Wood July 2019

“This is a beautiful spacious open plan cottage which is very light and views to the garden and countryside.”

The cottage has everything you need very clean and lovely decor. We didn’t have time to write in the visitors book as the cleaners arrived at 10am but we would highly recommend this cottage. It is ideally situated to walk to the village where there is a good shop and a great pub although it’s not cheap. Also ideally situated to drive to Oxford, Stow, Chipping Norton and other areas of the Cotswolds

- Mrs Wood, July 2019
Mrs Philpott December 2018

“After carefully researching lots of holiday properties in the Cotswold area I chose this one to accommodate 5 adults and 2 children covering 3 generations.”

It ticked all the boxes for inside and outside. Perfect. I would have no hesitation in returning if visiting this beautiful area again.

Mr Witter October 2018

“Lovely cottage, great location for a holiday in the Cotswolds.”

We were 6 adults and a baby, great location for a baby with lovely walks and small park with swings nearby and short drive to Burford and Cotswolds wildlife park and gardens. Very well equipped kitchen, lovely en suite rooms.

- Mr Witter, October 2018
Mrs Clatworthy September 2018

About the location

Burford

Burford is possibly one of, if not THE most famous of the Cotswolds' locations. With its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, Burford is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. Often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds', the town was originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon ford which later grew to be an important regional crossroads and wealthy wool town. Located mid way between Oxford and Cheltenham (25 mins each away) it is a little haven of history and beauty that many come to fall in love with when they visit.

The 16th century Tolsey building, once the meeting place for medieval merchants, now houses The Tolsey Museum, a delightful local museum illustrating the town's social and industrial past. The church is stunning, a real gem architecturally with many interesting memorials charting some of Burford's great families. There is also the signature, on the baptisimal font, of Antony Sedley, one of the Levellers besieged in the church in 1649 - three of the ringleaders were executed by Oliver Cromwell's men in the churchyard. History awaits!

With little changing over the centuries, Burford is now very popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for its shopping and antiques, and for the wide variety of places to eat, with restaurants, pubs and teashops. It is an ideal base for visiting The Cotswolds area as it is within easy driving distance of popular attractions such as Blenheim Palace, Sudley Castle, Warwick Castle and several National Trust Houses and Gardens. Bourton on the Water, Bibury, Cirencester and Stow on the Wold are all with 25 minutes from the property.

Note: There is no BBQ at the property
Note: This property has a Good House Keeping Bond of £500.
Note: The cottage is situated in a quiet residential area, and guests are kindly requested to keep noise to a reasonable level at all times, and particularly when enjoying the garden and terrace. Due to proximity of neighbours, no music is to be played in the outside areas.
Note: No more than ten people to be in the property at any one time.
