The Wash House

The Wash House was exactly as described it was clean and parking was excellent.

On arrival there was milk and a cake as a welcome pack.The owner came round later to check everything was ok which it was .The owner was pleased to answer any questions about local attractions ,nearest shops ,pubs places to eat which were all spot on .It felt central being in between Banbury and Chipping Norton .

Whilst we couldn't fault the property, very comfortable and cosy, we found it was a little too far out.

Having a disabled husband ground outside property a little uneven but ideal if you are able bodied and want a quiet getaway

This, our second visit to the Washhouse was every bit as good as the first.

Quiet, comfy, plenty of wildlife, including Graham the cat. We saw deer, partridge, Guinea fowl, finches, robins etc etc. The Cotswolds are a treat to visit, with Stow, Chipping Norton etc all worth a visit. A very happy week, with weather in our favour.

Lovely property, as described, great place to stay for Cotswolds

We had a very relaxing and comfortable few days at The Wash House over New Year.

It was warm and welcoming and had everything you needed for a stay in the countryside. Thank you Helen for the delicious cake, the welcome we received when we arrived and the recommendation of where to visit for an evening meal, The George at Braille’s was excellent! We enjoyed the most delicious meal there on New Years Eve. We would highly recommend the cottage and will definitely be making a return visit.

A lovely welcome from the owner, and we enjoyed the superb cake.

It was good to have a bottle of milk in the fridge. Everywhere was immaculate. It was so quiet and peaceful - just what we needed. We would recommend The Wash House to anyone.

A beautiful space with everything you might need; very homely with wonderful views, especially at sunset and sunrise.

Extremely comfortable with a fabulous bed, underfloor heating and a wood burner, making it especially cosy. Lovely hosts who had made a very welcoming sponge cake. Would thoroughly recommend as a bolthole away from it all.

The Wash House was the perfect location for a weekend getaway.

The facilities and amenities were everything we needed and more. Everything had been thought about, from a pint of milk and a cake when we arrived, to the fire being stacked and ready to light. The bed was huge, the place was spotless and the view was stunning. We will definitely be staying again and would highly recommend.

A pleasant stay but not very warm in the bedroom, the underfloor heating didn't seem to work, it never got above 18c.

Also the quilt was not heavy enough for the time of year. Not the owner's fault I know but there was a power cut on the last day from 2.30 until 9pm, the owner brought a hurricane lamp so we had some light. A word of warning: be very careful on the roads as they are by far the worst for potholes I have ever seen in Britain and I've been to a lot of places, there are less crators on the moon.

The Wash House was small but had everything we needed.

Helen was very friendly and the cake was delicious! Thoroughly recommend it:

The Wash House is a lovely little property on the owners farm.

Very comfortable, the underfloor heating a real plus. The bed was extremely comfortable and there was everything you would need. The cake, made by Adrian, was delicious and lasted us for 5 days. Lovely views from the front of the cottage and stunning sunsets if its not cloudy. The only drawback is the nearly mile long farm track which you need to negotiate to reach the property from the main road.

This was our 5th visit to this lovely property, which says it all.

A very comfortable cozy property with such lovely friendly owners. It’s in a beautiful spot with wonderful views and spectacular sun sets.

Fantastic Cottage.

We stayed a week in September and received a warm welcome from the owners who lived nearby. There was a home baked Victoria sponge cake awaiting for us on arrival - this was a real treat and much appreciated and enjoyed. The owners were very friendly, attentive and unobtrusive. The cottage was spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable, decorated to a high standard, very well equipped and contained local information on things to do and places to visit. The location was perfect for visiting many local attractions, NT properties & gardens and pretty villages, with their distinctive yellow-stoned Cotswold cottages. The setting provided privacy and was peaceful with the sounds of wildlife - wonderful. Our stay was all the more memorable for the seasonally good weather and relaxing on the patio area in the evenings ... enjoying the wonderful views over the fields and countryside. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Wash House and would recommend this holiday cottage.

The Wash House has amazing views and very comfortable.

We had a wonderful and relaxing holiday. We particularly enjoyed visiting a couple of locaol National Trust properties, Upton House and Charlecote Park, and the surrounding villages. Many thanks Helen for the delicious cake on our arrival.

A very comfortable stay: the cottage was warm with a well-equipped kitchen area, a nice bathroom, and excellent bedlinen on the super king-sized bed (although the mattress was slightly too firm for us).

Plenty of wardrobe space, and sturdy bedside tables with good lighting for reading in bed. The owners were friendly but unobtrusive, letting us know where we could find them if there were any problems, and on arrival there was a delicious home-baked cake waiting for us. Wonderful far-reaching view from the cottage which is set in lovely peaceful surroundings and with lots of interesting places nearby to visit.

Our second stay at The Wash House.

It's a lovely comfortable property in a very peaceful location with beautiful views and anice patio area outside. A strategically placed tree provides welcome shade and helps keep the cottage cool in very hot weather. Everything we need for a week exploring the Cotswolds. The cake and milk on arrival are very welcome and Helen and Adrian are excellent hosts.

We had a lovely relaxing week at the wash house .

The wash house has everything you need and is in an idyllic spot . The home made cake and milk on arrival were very much appreciated. We would definitely return to the wash house and recommend to anyone who enjoys peace and countryside views .

A little gem!

The Wash House is perfect for a peaceful relaxing holiday. Spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and very comfortable. A fantastic big bed and everything you could need, including a delicious homemade cake. The view is beautiful and there is plenty of shade when required. Somehow the cottage managed to stay cool inside, despite the temperature outside. Would highly recommend as the best cottage we have stayed in. Thank you Helen

Beautiful little hideaway with stunning views and scenery.

The Wash House was ideal for us and had everything we needed for our stay. We can't recommend the place highly enough!!! We would definitely return if we have the opportunity. Thanks too to our wonderful hosts who made our stay so memorable

I loved the wash house, it is situated in a very secluded spot next to a farm.

Beautiful walking countryside with enough to do in the area. The little house was nicely finished, with all that you need for a stay. There was a beautiful cake left for us when we arrived, a lovely homely touch.

The welcome was warm and so was the delicious cake that had been left for us.

The Wash House was nice and cosy, with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside, as well as the occasional deer, hare, pheasant or guinea fowl! The track to the farm is long and rough, so don't expect an easy drive, but this is a working farm with hard working owners, and is the only downside. The location makes up for that. 100% we would like to return one day.

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Wash House.

Such a lovely cottage which provided everything you could need. Beautiful views, quietness to enjoy the sounds of nature and flowers, delicious cake and milk by the very welcoming owners. Great location to explore the area. Would highly recommend for a couple wishing to relax and recharge. Thank you to Helen & Adrian, you have a little gem in this cottage.

Very comfortable cottage, everything I needed.

The best bit was the peace and tranquility and all the wonderful nature outside the door. Oh and of course the cake!

Excellent property, small but plenty of room for 2 people.

Bed is excellent quality

We had a lovely stay at the Wash House, and yes the property is down a farm track, a very long farm track (be prepared for a bumpy ride).

All that said, we saw a resident barn owl on 2 occasions, buzzards sat on the ground, deer, as well as a host of other wildlife even though this was the 1st week of February. The property itself was just right for the 2 of us. It was lovely to light the log burner of an evening, extra logs currently at £3 per basket, this includes kindling too. Comfy bed and a lovely shower completed a very nice stay. Personally we prefer a bigger bath towel but that is our preference. We were greeted by the owner who informed us of a few local things, and we had been left a lovely Victoria Sandwich sponge cake, milk, tea, coffee etc. which was very nice, and greatly appreciated. Even though we visited in February, we found plenty to do, as many things are closed at this time of year. The weather was kind to us also, so all in all a very pleasant week. Thank you.

What a lovely place!

. It certainly lived up to its description! An ideal location if you want to really chill out. Watching the bird life on the doorstep was a bonus. The cake was delicious, thank you.

Excellent!

Really good hosts,lovely cake left for us on arrival.Spotless,very well equipped,very good layout with good sized rooms.Plenty of storage for our things.Fabulous drive down to the property with nice views,and parking up gives you an amazing view over the countryside.So quiet and peaceful,with no light pollution.Would definitely go again. Thank you for a fabulous week away!

Loved our stay at the Wash House :-) Perfect size for the two of us, everything we needed was provided.

The shower is amazing, like standing in a rainstorm (but a hot one), the bed was huge and very comfortable. Best bit was the amazing view, we wrapped up and sat and watched the sunset nearly every night. Made the most of the woodstove on the final two nights. Adrian and Helen were friendly and welcoming, and the cake and and milk were a lovely touch. Good walks to the village, where the small shop can be recommended for things you need, but forgot to bring with you or buy elsewhere :-) We didn't go out to eat, local hostelries had (for us, at least) erratic opening hours and we didn't want to leave the place in the evenings. Really recommend The Wash House.

Very relaxing for getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

All amenities supplied. Cake was added touch. Most recommended.

We had a weekend stay in this beautiful little property.

It is the perfect place to get away from it all with fantastic views. The hosts were helpful and the facilities in The Wash House were great. The quality of finish on the furnishings was high and added to the warm and welcoming feel. Looking forward to returning.

This was our 4th visit to this lovely holiday property which, I think, speaks for itself.

It’s a gem in the wonderful countryside of this part of the world. Peace & quiet with great views. Adrian & Helen are the perfect hosts & their cakes are superb! It’s a place where you can relax & hunker down should the weather turn inclement with a log burner as well as the central heating. Hope to return again next year.

I have to say, that this was probably the best,comfiest, well equipped cottage that we have stayed in.

The views were amazing, the homemade cake was gorgeous! Lovely to have milk on arrival in a glass bottle! The bed was beautiful, clean, tidy, kitchen had everything you could need,tea bags, coffee, sugar, washing up liquid etc etc! The hosts were also lovely and so helpful. Yes the road up to the cottage is bumpy but it's near a farm! My husband and I just loved the views, wildlife, even seeing a red deer! Plus the northern lights also! Perfect holiday in a perfect place. Thankyou. We shall return.

Enjoyed our stay at The Wash House.

A lovely warm welcome from Nigel & Helen. Lovely and clean and felt really comfortable

The long driveway was very bumpy and very stony.

Not enough turning space for car at property. Property was cold on arrival and in the evenings.

We loved our stay at this cottage which is set down a farm track away from it all.

Very quiet with wonderful views over the countryside. The perfect place to escape to. It is beautifully furnished with a well equipped kitchen & has a lovely patio to sit & watch the amazing sunsets that we had. We felt very at home here

Lovely clean cottage- the cake was delicious.

Washing machine was great but an airer would be useful to put the wet clothes on. The drive from the main road was longer than we expected but it didnt spoil the holiday.

We had a lovely stay.

Very peaceful as off beaten track Property was very clean. Met owner when we arrived. Lovely gentleman who pointed us in right direction where to eat.. Would love to come back

This cottage is in a very peaceful setting looking over fields and hills.

Helen, the owner is very helpful and knowledgeable about the area and also a brilliant cook! Would certainly recommend The Wash House for a relaxing get away.

Nice cottage in great location, lots of wildlife, lovely views and peaceful, owners seemed nice.

Only downside was a long narrow lane with a bit of a hump in the middle in parts, which grated on the bottom of our car. The hedges were a little overgrown so scraped the bodywork when we tried to avoid the hump. If you have good ground clearance, and not too worried about paint work, not a problem.

Lovely little cottage in a lovely setting.

So peaceful and quiet. Surrounded by some quaint villages. Lovely big bed and nice shower. Had a lovely stay.

What a hidden gem, this lovely, modern cottage with spectacular view!

Thoroughly loved watching the tawny owls and barnowl soaring by during the evening. Great location for exploring the Cotswolds! Bed was very comfortable, shower fab, brilliant choice of books and dvds. The access road is quite a challenge but then again, so are the roads in the UK ;-). Thank you, Helen and Adrian for your hospitality!

stayed at The Wash House Sifford Ferris Oxfordshire and it was wonderful the accommodation was very clean well equipped .

Beautiful location, views and very peaceful . Lots of wildlife as the sun went down

Lovely property, friendly hosts.

Peaceful and quiet.

We had the most amazing stay at The Wash House, The cottage was spotlessly clean, well euipped, and the underfloor heating kept the cottage toasty warm.

The hosts, Helen and Adrian, gave us a warm welcome, and Helen's advice on viewing the wildlife was most informative and helpful. As a result, we saw the Barn Owls and the Little Owl, which was so special. On other occassions, we saw Kites, Buzzards, Muntjac and Roe Deer. The cottage is idealy situated for visiting numerous National Trust Properties, as well as all the usual tourist places in the Cotswolds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Wash House, and we look forward to a 2nd holiday there in the not too distant future.

I had a wonderful stay at The Wash House.

It was cosy, had everything you could need, and a lovely view! Helen and Adrian are brilliant hosts and I would love to come back again.

The Wash House is so beautifully isolated and tastefully furnished that we found it impossible to give it less than 5 stars in every category.

The owners are delightful and thoughtful and, although the weather was bitterly cold, the underfloor heating gave this cosy little property enough heat to be very comfortable indeed. Thank you! Bruce & Christine

The cottage was great.

A nice welcome, also a gift very nice. The cottage was very comfortable, cosy, clean, and the owners made sure we had everything we wanted and if we were warm enough. Would have liked to stay in the summer when the weather was warmer but we cannot change that. Altogether it was a very nice place to stay.

Enjoyed our week.

Very quiet and peaceful.

Our third visit to The Wash House didn't disappoint us in any way.

The location is very restful and peaceful and the cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. Hopefully there will be further visits in the future

Lovely cottage in a stunning location that is ideal for chilling and unwinding.

The cottage has everything you need and the homemade cake and milk were very welcome on arrival.

Our host provided a warm welcome on arrival.

The wash House was very comfortable and modern with lots of room for two people and well equipped for self-catering. The countryside view from The Wash House is spectacular, even on rainy days. I recommend this holiday property.

Lovely cottage very comfortable and peaceful

Helen and Adrian are welcoming and very easy going hosts.

The property has a marvellous view and is extremely quiet.

Fabulous views from a very comfortable and clean holiday cottage.

We met both Helen and Adrain, who were very friendly. They live at the rear of The Wash House, but you are not disturbed at all and rarely see them. Helen makes a delicious sponge cake. The property is well furnished with a comfortable bed and sofa. You have everything to make your holiday a home from home experience. The views are just fabulous and we would never tire of them. It was lovely to get back late afternoon and sit on the patio, listening to only bird song and looking at the view. Plenty of places to visit within an hour from the cottage. We would love to return again, as we never got to complete our list. Great walks from the door too, around the villages. With pubs in both.

Very friendly, helpful and welcoming hosts who are amazing bakers, many thanks for the delicious cake!

! Wonderfully quiet and peaceful, which was just what I was needing

Great location and wildlife.

This was such an idyllic cottage and location for totally disconnecting from the world.

Set in tranquil countryside and a beautiful 1.6 mile walk to a lovely pub. Helen and Adrian were fabulous hosts. I could highly recommend

Overall the best Sykes cottage we have stayed in.

Adrian and Helen were excellent owners. We liked the quiet location, with lovely views, close to many interesting National Trust locations and Historic Houses. There was an abundance of interesting wildlife outside, we saw deer, a green woodpecker and owls. Plenty of walks in the area and two excellent close pubs.

The Wash House is a fabulous holiday cottage in a beautiful area.

It is comfortable, clean and well equipped. It is fairly remote down a long farm track so there is plenty of wildlife to see. Helen and Adrian were very welcoming and friendly. This cottage is highly recommended.

Lovely little cottage, very clean and everything you need for your holiday provided.

The owners were very friendly and welcoming, highly recommend the cottage for a quiet and peaceful holiday.

The house has everything you need and it is spotless clean.

Views from the windows are wonderful and there are great walks from the doorsteps. The host came to check if everything was ok and we were provided with logs for the fireplace when we needed. Lovely area and we enjoyed it even in mixed weather. Highly recommended

A wonderful little property - peaceful and secluded; well worth visiting if you want to get away from it all!

Comfortable well appointed cottage in great location.

. Very pleasant, helpful hosts Delicious cake & milk on arrival Generous refilling of log basket Mop, brush & extension lead provided on request Highly recommended

We had a wonderful time at The Wash House.

It was ideal for the two of us and our hobby of Geocaching. The cottage is at the end of a long track and really is quite isolated. This suited us down to the ground. The cottage was cosy, clean, comfortable and very warm with the underfloor heating, so we did not need to use the wood burner. It had everything we needed for a week's holiday. The owner came to check that everything was in order. We thanked him for the excellent Victoria sponge that he had made for us. We had a chat about the state of farming, the history of the building and this and that, then he left us to it! The view from the kitchen/diner window was excellent. We saw kites, buzzards, flocks of fieldfares and redwing and many other birds. We saw a muntjac deer, and the squirrels and blackbirds were outside on the gravel each and every day. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable and the bed was huge and very comfortable. The shower worked well and there was plenty of hot water. I must mention the dark sky. If it is a clear night and you like star gazing, this is the place for you. Sunsets were also colourful. We would not hesitate to recommend this little gem!

A lovely cottage with a beautiful view, we had a peaceful few days here which was just the break we were hoping for.

Very kind to find a homemade cake on arrival, and everything we needed to make for a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a relaxing space, just perfect for one or two people.

Lovely peaceful location but close to many attractions.

The owners were very welcoming and helpful. Nice clean accommodation with everything we needed. Would love to return as 4 nights wasn’t long enough!,

Excellent facilities and spotlessly clean Wonderful location, quiet and peaceful with fantastic views and the decked area catching the afternoon/evening sunshine Our hosts were welcoming and very friendly, we were treated to a delicious home baked Victoria sponge on arrival, along with fresh flowers and milk in the fridge

The Wash House is absolutely perfect, we had a wonderful stay there, it is so peaceful and the view is breathtaking, we certainly want to go back again next year.

We had a great time exploring the Cotswolds from the Wash House, excellent base for top walks and pubs.

We hope to return one day.

A lovely peaceful spot, helpful owners and every comfort.

. highly recommended!

Once again a place to unwind.

We had a wonderful week at the Wash house.

Helen and Adrian are lovely hosts. If you enjoy the countryside and nature, this is the place for you. The views are beautiful and it's really great to return after a day out and sit on the patio listening to birdsong. The bed is really comfortable and there is a good shower. There are lots of places to go to nearby, so despite being rural it's good for sightseeing. We would highly recommend the Wash House.

Beautiful, peaceful spot.

Cottage was immaculate.

Total seclusion, fab views, lots of nature, Deer, Owls, Woodpeckers, Red Kites.

Nice owners.

We enjoyed our second visit to The Wash House even more than our first last October.

Helen and Adrian's warm welcome accompanied by a delicious homemade cake got our week off to a great start. The ambience and facilities within the cottage provide everything we wanted for a very enjoyable stay. Thank you. We hope to come again before long.

We had a lovely holiday at the Wash house comfortable clean accommodation.

the owner Helen had made us a beautiful cake on arrival there was also a vase of fresh flowers and a bottle of milk in the fridge. The views are stunning and lots of wildlife to see. Plenty of instant hot water and a fab shower. I asked Helen about the fab pottery on display and she took me to her pottery studio well worth a visit and lots of lovely pots to buy. If your after peace and relaxing accommodation this property is well worth a stay in the Cotswolds thanks again Helen and Adrian .

We had the most wonderful week here.

The situation of the Wash House is superb, so quiet and beautiful views. The wood burner was amazing and it was all so comfortable. Will definitely look for an opportunity to come again. Adrian and Helen were very welcoming and a delicious cake and beautiful daffodils were awaiting our arrival ( and milk in the fridge). Would wholeheartedly recommend it.

Very peaceful and comfortable.

Helen is very friendly and helpful.

Everything you could possibly need great views nice freshly cooked cake on arrival Helen & Adrian very friendly 5*.

Martin & Carolyn, Norfolk.

We found the cottage to be very clean, cosy and well-equipped.

The location was very quiet and we enjoyed several walks in the local area. It was nice to be greeted by the owner shortly after our arrival.

We had a lovely stay at one of the cleanest and most spacious cottages for 2 we have stayed in.

The Wash house was warm and cosy. It was peaceful and the owners left us to it after welcoming us. The homemade cake was absolutely lovely and a delightful touch. We enjoyed watching the Red kites and buzzards flying above us. It was a great base to explore the cotswolds.

We had a lovely week last week at the Wash House.

We eventually found it after our sat nav told us to turn left too early! Up a very long drive (just keep going) but the views from the property are spectacular, especially the sunsets. The property has every conceivable item in the kitchen and it’s really cozy if you light the small log burner which we did on 2 occasions. The large bedroom has a king sized bed (2x3foot mattresses) and plenty of wardrobe space. The bathroom has a large shower and has underfloor heating. The property was immaculately clean and the Victoria sponge made by Adrian was superb. Met Helen his wife later in the week and she kindly showed us round her pottery workshop. They are a lovely friendly couple and made us feel very welcome and we can most certainly recommend this property to anyone wishing for some peace & quiet.

The property was extremely clean and a bottle of milk was left in the fridge together with a beautiful home made cake which was absolutely delicious.

The property is on the owner's farm. After a welcoming introduction on the first day we did not see them. A useful and informative leaflet which included their contact details. There was a great selection of books, games, many DVDs and very useful maps. The views are beautiful and very peaceful and we saw some stunning sunsets The location perfect to explore the Cotswold area and easy to get to Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon. We had a very relaxing week. This was our first time away since Lockdown and we both felt safe and secure. Many thanks,

Lovely holiday home in peaceful location.

Fabulous week in a lovely setting.

If you want to get away from it all this is the place! Car essential. Owner was charming.

The cottage was well equipped with everything you need for a holiday set in a very quiet rural setting but central enough to visit the areas attractions.

We were welcomed with a cake and fruit and milk etc which we were grateful for and a friendly welcome from the owners. Would visit again

We enjoyed our stay at the WashHouse.

The view was excellent. Nice peaceful location with good access for exploring the Cotswalds. It was an ideal setting for star gazing on a clear night.

The wash house, was in a lovely tranquil spot with beautiful views, it had everything we needed and a very comfy bed , Helen & Adrian were lovely people.

Enjoyed the delicious home made cake & fab flowers on arrival ...would recommend if you want peace & quiet , lots of places to visit aswell .

Had a lovely stay at The Wash House, lovely facilities and a fantastic view.

Super little cottage in a peaceful location.

Owners are friendly and kind but respect your privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay here. Thank you!

Lovely quiet spot, but with easy access to facilities if needed (walking distance to village).

Easy driving access to Hook Norton, Moreton on Marsh, Upton House & Chipping Campden. Perfect. Very clean and uncluttered cottage. Woodburner a bonus! Saw a couple of hare chasing across the field right outside the house. Felt like a real break, thank you!

Clean, tidy, comfortable and warm.
