Mr Corrigan
October 2020

“The organisation and marketing by Sykes was brilliant.”

The cottage itself was ok but needed extra effort to be great. Cleanliness was very disappointing with furnishing and fixtures covered in dust and pet hairs and a graveyard of dead bugs behind the tv. Little things like the mantelpiece clock not working, door bell not working, lamp bulbs not working all add up to an average experience. The owners are clearly making a lot of money from this rental being booked out every day this month so better investment in their customer experience is expected ...

The owners are clearly making a lot of money from this rental being booked out every day this month so better investment in their customer experience is expected (especially when these things have been mentioned on previously published feedbacks). Otherwise enjoyed the stay - location and outdoor areas were fab and would go back if reassured that this feedback was actioned.

Thank you for the feedback, this has been passed on to the housekeeper and she has sincerely apologised. Many thanks Owner relations

Mrs Jelinek September 2020

“Beautiful cottage in idyllic location.”

However access to the cottage itself is difficult, particularly with luggage and food bags, as you can’t park near enough and the lane itself is very steep. You can’t tell this from the photos. It didn’t spoil our holiday at all, but I imagine in bad weather and limited mobility it would be extremely hard. The gardens backing onto the river are so peaceful and very private. Just being able to sit and watch swans and ducks float by was lovely. Photos don’t do it justice. ( they need to be updated on the website) Bedrooms are quaint, and a little on the tight side for moving around, but very comfortable. The one double bedroom, we couldn’t access the fitted wardrobe properly as the door wouldn’t open past the edge of the bed. We did feel that carpets and furniture covers were a touch shabby and needed replacing or deep cleaning, and there were a few little niggles that needed seeing to, but all in all it certainly wouldn’t stop us going back there. Be very careful with the hot water taps, especially with children as the water was scalding.

- Mrs Jelinek, September 2020

Many thanks for your feedback on Spring Cottage. we agree it is situated in an idyllic location. Since your stay all the carpets have been professionally cleaned. We will look at other issues raised. Manor Cottages Owner relations

“Lovely cottage with a truly amazing position on the river bank.”

Very idyllic location. The cottage interiors however felt a lot like a second, not-so-loved home. The furniture, carpets etc felt a bit grubby. Beds very uncomfortable. The type you put on your holiday cottage - too good to throw away but you wouldn’t have them in your main home. The kitchen and its cupboards (with plenty of content) didn’t feel very clean. The coffee plunger is broken - perhaps small but an important detail. It was great for a summer stay when you spend a lot of time outdoors (on the lovely river deck). I would not stay here in the winter confined to the indoors. Having said that the cottage offered good value for money this time of the year in this part of the Cotswolds. I would stay again in the summer.

The interior while not large was very comfortable and had everything we needed.

“"Spring cottage was perfect for our holiday with another couple and two babies.”

It was clean and well equipped and there are walks from the cottage to local pubs. It was very peaceful and the garden with a river at the bottom is lovely; I'm sure it is amazing in the summer

The property

Spring Cottage is very much, and every inch, the quintessential English and Cotswolds cottage.

An 18th Century cottage set in an adorable little village just Outside Bibury (near Burford), it offers guests a wonderful option to sample the Cotswolds' at its most charming best.

Overlooking a beautiful garden and with a river gently meandering past its foot, you have the true picture-postcard location in just about every sense.

Inside each room throughout the cottage has a warm, welcoming feel, with delightful views across the open countryside or village.

We particularly adore the garden-to-river view from the cottage along with the seats perched on the rivers' edge from which to enjoy the world drift past, it is about as serene a location as you could possibly imagine.

The village of Winson is so typically Cotswolds that it is hard to imagine that anything has changed in the last 200 years, except for the odd car tootling through the local lanes...This is a family and friends' location, a chance to enjoy the fresh air, walking into Bibury (and the pubs of course) or to simply take in some breathtaking views on the many paths peppered across the landscape.

Heavenly!

About the location

BIBURY

Burford 9 miles; Bourton-on-the-Water 10 miles.

William Morris called Bibury ‘the most beautiful village in England” and today it is world famous as a village which best epitomises the English rural scene. At its centre is an outstanding Saxon church. So important is the village architecturally that the National Trust is closely involved in its preservation - Arlington Row, a row of weavers cottages was restored by the Trust in the 1970s and its distinctive roofline and gables are one of the most photographed scenes in the Cotswolds. The village has a selection of shops, pubs and tea rooms and a wider range of amenities are available in the nearby market town of Burford “Gateway to the Cotswolds”.

NOTE: This property has a £100 good housekeeping bond, this amount is automatically shadowed when the booking is made.
