3 Painters Field

For property owner only: Bedroom blinds need to be blackout, as I woke with the sun blazing in directly above my face.

Fridge shelves: 3 out of the 4 broken, had to use 2 metal straws to hold one up. This is clearly a long standing issue and needs to be sorted asap. Clothes Moths - you have an infestation somewhere. Sofa - the 2nd one is far too small and unsuitable for the property, very uncomfortable for any adults. Again an issue others have pointed out. Heating - clock needs resetting- completely wrong time. Water - scalding hot - ended up turning it off, Cleaning could be better - cloakroom and floor in dining area particularly. For Public: This was a really lovely property in a beautiful area, with great walks from the door and good local pub for food. The showers were excellent, beds comfortable, property was geared up for children with games and small sofa(not suitable /comfortable for adults). The kitchen was well stocked, but the fridge was quite small and 3 of 4 shelves in the fridge were broken - which others have previously noted and I’m therefore not sure why this has not been attended to. We would definitely recommend, but take note if you are booking for a group of adults rather than family.

This property would have been great for a family with three children, unfortunately we were five adults, meaning the small sofa & the single bed were unsuitable ( slats kept on coming apart whilst sleeping.

) Cleanliness could have been to a higher standard ( saucepans & utensils grubby.) No towels provided in the upstairs bathroom so we had to share.

Only comment is fan in the ensuite bathroom is very noisy.

It could be replaced. Otherwise, cottage really lovely.

Great property with plenty space for kids.

We had great stay house nice and good location. There were a couple of negatives there were couple spots where it was not cleam such as anove tiles in main bathroom had dust and high chair needed a clean

Lovely house, comfortable and quiet but just a few bits weren't great.

The highchair and some crockery needed cleaning before use, there was no laundry detergent which was mentioned in the handbook as being provided, and the bedroom skylight and radiator needs some maintenance as the skylight was leaking water slightly and the radiator valve was very noisy when on any setting other than 0 or 5. Apart from those things the house was very cute and had everything else we needed for our first holiday away with a baby.

We had a wonderful stay.

The cottage and its surroundings are beautiful. The house is fully equipped. Certainly the kitchen is well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed the Cotswolds!

The cottage was lovely, it was well situated for us and well equipped.

There were lots of leaflets for places to visit which was very helpful. It was a short walk to The Keepers Arms which served lovely food & they were very friendly- recommend. It would have been useful to have a mirror in the attic bedroom maybe on the wall above the chest of drawers. Also we could not find a way to reach the blind in the main bedroom for the roof window. Apart from that it was lovely.

The cottage was lovely, and definitely excellent value for money.

We especially appreciated the cupboards full of toys in the living room - our toddler loved exploring them on rainy afternoons! The kitchen was well-equipped, but there were one or two cleanliness issues when we arrived (an unwashed mug on the shelf, and the kitchen table needed wiping). The location is ideal for young families - so many farms and soft play centres within easy reach. The folder at the cottage mentions a stairgate, which seems to have been removed. For us, that would have been a helpful addition. Thank you for a lovely stay

We had a very enjoyable nine days, and thank you for granting us the two day extension.

It helped with our weekend plans enormously. Although on the whole the house was left clean and tidy, I think it is important that the owner is aware of the following:- On arrival we found an empty bottle of water on the floor under a side table in the living room. There were several strands of long black hair on the floor of the bathroom which meant that the floor had not been cleaned [they have been left so that you can see what we are referring to], and after the second time of using the shower in the en-suite shower room, we realised the waste pipe needed cleaning out as the water only drained away very slowly [more slowly than it rose], and we were concerned that it was going to go over the lip and onto the shower room floor and potentially seep onto the bedroom floor and of course that could have caused a lot of problems. So that is something that needs looking at urgently. For the rest of the week we used the shower in the bath. No doubt it is difficult to obtain good cleaners, but a bit more attention to detail and better supervision of the cleaning that takes place, would go along way.

The property was comfortable and the location good , we enjoyed our stay but some small improvements regarding equipment would have increased the overall facility.

Kettle , dishwasher and en suite shower all need attention.

The cottage was lovely, but we did feel a bit isolated - it would have been a long walk to the pub with the kids!

We also had to drive everywhere as there wasn’t a local shop for little things. The cottage was really big, but there wasn’t much storage, especially in the kitchen as there were so many utensils! We loved visiting the lakes, local attractions and villages. We spent a lot of time in Cirencester as there was plenty of choice for eating out with the children, however, it was also lovely to eat out in the garden at the cottage and enjoy the visits from the local squirrel!

Good information and instructions.

Nice to stay. Thanks.

Great place in a great location, a real home from home, and suitable facilities for our young children, will be looking to come back to the cottage soon.

Apart from being very disappointed at not receiving a complimentary welcome pack Painters Field is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need including loads of books and games.

It's in a perfect location for visiting many of the wonderful sites around including Blenheim Palace, Cotswold Wildlife Park, cycling at the Forest of Dean, a walk by the Thames at Lechlade, Bourbon on the Water.......

Brilliant cottage, we had a lovely stay.

Village is quiet, the two pubs are within walking distance with good food. Great location for exploring.

Very happy with the cottage, its location and its facilities.

We felt the kitchen in particular needed a deep clean. The crockery, utensils etc all felt grimy and like they had not been washed in a while. Otherwise very happy.

Bonus of friendly neighbours everyone who passed by the gate, during our stay, responded positively to us, felt just like being at home.

We had a laundry issue, nothing to do with hygiene at the property, which was immediately resolved for us. Parking, loading and unloading was easy.

The cottage is in a pretty village and is attractive, comfortable and cosy.

Although it has 2 bedrooms, I would suggest the 2nd room ( in the eaves) is probably only suitable for children. There are lovely walks from the cottage, and it is a good base for visiting many other attractions. Making the booking was easy but trying to contact your office in order to reply to an e mail you sent us about another booking, has so far proved difficult.

Although the property has a feeling of being set up well for a young family it suited us well as a couple.

It is very well appointed and well situated for visiting the Cotswolds. My only reservation about using this property again is that it isn't possible to shut the light out through the roof window in the main bedroom which might be an issue during the summer when the sun gets up well before I do!

A delightful cottage in a very quiet location.

Well equipped in all areas. Beds incredibly comfortable and underfloor heating so welcome. Would return.

Great cottage lovely location home from home.
