“A warm welcome received.”

The Garden House is at the bottom of the owners garden, overlooking their beautiful garden (separated by a picket fence), nicely decorated. A very quiet and tranquil spot. Parking with electric hookup on the front of house drive (payable directly to owner). Easy travelling distance to Stratford upon Avon, Bourton on the Water, Stow on the Wolds, the British Motor Museum amongst other beautiful Cotswolds / Warwickshire areas. You holiday at your pace. Owners lovely people who really want you to enjoy your stay. Highly recommended to try. You won't be disappointed

“What an experience!”

The welcome we received was outstanding. Levie and Colin were the most welcoming and friendly couple. They gave us a tremendous start to our holiday which continued throughout the week. The style and quality of the Garden House, coupled with what the Cotswolds has to offer was everything we wanted it to be.

“We so enjoyed our few days at the Garden House, and wish it could have been longer!”

So lovely to be greeted by Levie with a warm welcome and tea and cake in the garden, plus a kitchen stocked with milk, presecco, fruit, tea and coffee! The house itself had everything for our convenience and comfort, and of course best of all were the beautiful gardens surrounding the property on all sides, such an abundance of plants, trees, shrubs and flowers, all beautifully maintained and creating a restful and relaxing envirionment. French windows on all sides for stepping outside, peaceful and quiet, just the perfect environment for nature lovers.

Karen August 2023

“Such a relaxing place to stay!”

The Garden House is kept in immaculate condition and we were welcomed by Levie with tea and cake, fruit, milk, and an explanation of all the facilities. We, and Leo the dog, felt at home right away. There are so many places to visit nearby, and Levie is happy to recommend good places to eat & drink. We hope to stay again sometime, and will recommend to our own children and their families.

Denise August 2023

“Wow a gem of a place in a most beautiful garden.”

We loved our patio space and sitting in the sunshine. The garden house was lovely and clean and we were made so welcome with treats left for us. We were left to enjoy our space privately but through choice we thoroughly enjoyed spending time and chatting with Levie and felt we had made a new friend. This is a great location to explore cotswolds with lot's of beautiful villages and Stratford upon Avon not being far away. Would reccomend and would love to come back and do more exploring and walking as this time was a nice break with my mum who can't walk far. So one level house ideal and she enjoyed rhe scenery.

“A peaceful setting in a spectacular garden.”

The owner's style and attention to detail are evident everywhere in the equipment and maintenance of The Garden House. Beyond that she is friendly, helpful and considerate, but never intrusive. After a very enjoyable stay, you leave feeling you have made a new friend. .

“We had a lovely stay with a very caring host who made sure that all was well for us.”

The garden was lovely and our little dog enjoyed playing safely in an enclosed area. There were lots of pretty places nearby to go for walks and quiet visits so we all had a relaxing and enjoyable time.

Christine June 2023

“My Mum and I, and her dog had a wonderful weekend at the Garden House.”

The host gave us cake and coffee on arrival which was very welcoming and was always available during our stay. The location is very beautiful and peaceful and we enjoyed sitting outside in the stunning garden and walks in the countryside from the door step. The garden house itself had everything we needed and was very clean. We will definitely be visiting again, there is still so much to see and do in the local area.

Christine June 2023

“We have just returned from a long weekend’s stay at the Garden House; it really is a delightful place to base yourself.”

The hosts were lovely and we were greeted on arrival with coffee and cake. Further treats awaited inside. The house is modern and beautifully decorated and, perhaps more importantly, extremely comfortable. The garden was fenced off from the owner’s own, beautiful garden and had plenty of grass laid for our four legged companion. Very dog friendly

- Christine, June 2023

“The Garden Room occupies an idyllic setting with views of the owners immaculate garden.”

A most peaceful location and an ideal quiet retreat. The owner is delightful and welcoming with a much apreciated beverage and cake. Facilities are of the first order and nothing could be wanted for. Appreciated the care which has been lavished on the Garden Room and all facilities are first class.

- Paul, August 2022
Gerry August 2022

“Wet thought the perfect holiday home could not exist BUT it does at The Garden House.”

It's location is perfect, cleanliness and Facilities superb. The owners could not have been more welcoming with coffee and cake when we arrived and tea and milk in the fridge. We will definitely be going back once we know dates.

- Gerry, August 2022
Anna July 2022

“An amazing place to stay, immaculate, well equipped and set within the owners beautiful garden, the garden house also has its own private garden with space for dining and sun loungers.”

Levie was a fab host even contacting us before we arrived to check if we had any additional needs and greeting us on arrival with drinks and cake which was welcome after a long drive. The garden house comfortably accommodated a family of 4 and the dog and had good wifi which is a bonus when travelling with kids. It’s a perfect location for visiting nearby times and villages. Levie was so kind and helpful to my family I would definitely visit again

- Anna, July 2022

“Lovely property in beautiful gardens.”

Levie the owner is a lovely lady, she gave us a very warm welcome and made us feel very much at home. We highly recommend this property.

Tricia July 2022

“We had a very peaceful week in Garden Cottage.”

Levie our host welcomed us and we walked down the gravel path past her beautiful garden. As we settled in Levie brought us tea and cake. The cottage had everything we needed and the bed was really comfortable. We loved the secluded back garden. The cottage is near enough to Stratford-upon-Avon to do the tourist stuff, but the hamlet of Upper Quinton is quiet and secluded. You can find beautiful country walks from the door.

- Tricia, July 2022
Paul July 2022

“Having just spent 4 nights at the Garden House…when the time came to leave we were sorry we couldn’t stay a lot longer!”

Set in a beautiful garden, it is the perfect place to both hang around, chill and relax in or to visit the lovely places within easy reach (ie. Cotswolds, Stratford Upon Avon)…in fact we always were in a dilemma when having to choose between both options! The accommodation is modern, well equipped with a very high standard of cleanliness. One side of the Garden House has a seating area and overlooks the main garden towards the owners house and on the opposite side is another garden area with seating and parasols, which is totally private and a real sun trap. As mentioned in another review, photographs don’t really do it all justice. The owner, Levie is really lovely and couldn’t have done more to make our stay so enjoyable, right from our welcome with Cappuccino and cake through to the same for our departure. She was always on hand if needed without being at all obtrusive. We will certainly be going back in the non-too distant future!

- Paul, July 2022
Hayley July 2022

“An excellent get away for our family !”

Fantastic hosts, accommodation was lovely and a great base for my Dad to have a trip down memory lane. He was born and brought up in Lower Quinton. Can't recommend this property enough ! Thank you Levi for being such a lovely host :)

Martin June 2022

“Our weekend break was a last minute decision on the Friday afternoon.”

Sykes Cottages were extremely helpful in securing our booking as they contacted Levie the property owner to ask if the booking was able to be completed as it was late in the day. Levie I have to say must be the warmest and most sincere host I have ever met and nothing was too much trouble for her. She met us outside the property late on the Friday evening and ensured we were settled in and happy with everything. The Garden House was as shown on the Sykes website, very nice and clean and nicely arranged. Set in the quiet village of Upper Quinton in an idyllic location. Everything we wanted for our stay was in The Garden House and with Levie's care and attention what more would you need. We visited Cheltenham and Startford-upon-Avon on the Saturday as The Garden House is located in an ideal location with places to visit not too far away. Thanks again Levie and we will return.

- Martin, June 2022
Matthew June 2022

“What a great place to stay in a fantastic setting.”

The host was so lovely and had all the time in the world to make sure we were happy and comfortable with great recommendations for places to eat and see in the area. We stayed as a business party this time and I really cannot wait to go back with the family and really enjoy the area. Fantastic host, fantastic apartment and what a lovely garden she has kept. P.S. Makes a great bread and butter pudding!!

- Matthew, June 2022
Maureen June 2022

“Levie and Colin were the perfect hosts.”

The coffee and cake on arrival was very welcome, along with the bottle of Prosecco put in the fridge for us to enjoy later. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. Levie was happy to provide anything that was not there, should that have been the case. Due to the location of The Garden House, the wifi reception was variable, although this was not a problem for us. Would highly recommend a stay in this peaceful cottage with it's sun trap rear patio.

- Maureen, June 2022

Wendy March 2022

“Excellent helpful friendly hosts, nothing was to much trouble for Levie and Colin, helping with our request about bedding and providing fruit, milk and wine to start our very restful holiday.”

A great deal of thought had been put into the planning of the Garden House. No street lights, no noise just what we were in need of. Beautiful scenery.

- Wendy, March 2022
Jo February 2022

“What a lovely and relaxing break!”

Set in a beautiful location, with great walking and on the doorstep of Stratford Upon Avon and The Cotswolds. Spotlessly clean, with everything you could need for a short break. Our hosts, Levie and Colin, went out of their way to make us welcome, with nothing too much trouble. Theres a super local pub in Lower Quinton, where we enjoyed a fab Indian meal at the attached Quinton Spice. restaurant.Thoroughly recommend The Garden House and its location!

Kiran December 2021

“We had a great stay at The Garden House for four nights.”

The place was clean, well equipped and decorated with a Christmas feel. We were welcomed with a Christmas Cake and offered tea on our arrival. Our son loved his room with dinosaur bed covers and all the stuffed toys. The property is in a quiet location and ideally located to explore both Stratford and Cotswolds. The hosts Levie and Colin were fantastic and went out of their way to make sure that our stay is comfortable. They were very responsive to our queries both before and during the stay. They agreed to postpone our booking (since our son fell ill) by four days which made the visit possible. Levie gave us a walkthrough of the property and also piloted us for a lovely walk.

“Wonderful property, spotlessly clean and had everything you need.”

Owners Levie and Colin are such lovely people, and cannot do enough for you to ensure your stay is the best it can be. I would heartily recommend this property, and its location is perfect for days out to the surrounding areas, Cotswolds etc. We will definitely be returning! Thank you again Levie and Colin, not forgetting gorgeous dogs, Jack and Jill !

Neil September 2021

“A wonderful location - the owners were so welcoming and friendly, ensuring that we had everything we required.”

Upon upon our arrival we were given cake, tea & coffee, which was a lovely gesture and very much appreciated. Levie has created a fabulous rear garden - very spectacular. The weather was hot and sunny all week, so we were able to venture out and about the area every day. We would certainly recommend the Garden House, especially for people who are looking for a quiet and peaceful place to stay.

- Neil, September 2021
Carol September 2021

“The Garden House is set in an idyllic location.”

You look out on to a beautiful garden at the front where you have a patio, or you can enjoy complete privacy at the back of the cottage where there is a second patio. The hosts Levie and Colin could not have been more welcoming or anxious to please. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend it. Hopefully we can return. Miss Newton

Giuliano August 2021

“Such a beautiful and relaxing place to stay.”

The Garden House surpassed all of my expectations. Set in an idyllic location it is not too far from many sight seeing trips in the Cotswolds. Levie and Collin were such kind hosts. Full of information about local walks and places to go and see. Highly recommend staying at the Garden House.

- Giuliano, August 2021
Claire August 2021

“We would highly recommend staying at the Garden House.”

The whole stay from start to finish was exceptional. The hosts Levie and Colin are so lovely and welcoming without being intrusive. Never before have we been welcomed with freshly brewed tea and cakes brought to us in the garden. How sweet. The house is extremely clean, all new as only built as we went into lockdown. Everything you need is there. The private patio at the back is a haven to chill .Levies garden is like a show garden and she will gladly show you around. Wonderful stay. Highly recommended.

- Claire, August 2021
Alison July 2021

“Had a wonderful week.”

Garden house is bijou, small but perfectly formed. Levie welcomed us with umbrellas as it was pouring down. She had made us a pot of tea and left a cake. She has a wonderful garden and you can look out on it from the lounge. Fantastic location with walks from the doorstep. A little sun trap to the rear with a bistro table and chairs and a few loungers. Didn’t want to leave.

- Alison, July 2021
Les July 2021

“Completely relaxed & quiet stay - very warm welcome - cheerful & friendly host.”

Glen July 2021

“My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at The Garden House.”

This well appointed, modern cottage is located at the bottom of the owner's garden and was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The owner, Levie, was very friendly and helpful and recommended a number of beautiful walks in the area. The welcome pack consisting of a bottle of Prosecco and delicious carrot cake was much appreciated. The village of Upper Quinton is located in a scenic part of the Cotswolds but is also within easy reach of Stratford Upon Avon. We will be recommending this cottage to family and friends and we also hope to return very soon.

“What a wonderful place to stay!”

We absolutely loved the Garden House. It was immaculately clean and the owners were incredibly welcoming (with lots of lovely special touches). We stayed with two young children (aged 6 and 3) and it was completely safe for them. The location is fantastic, being within easy distance to all attractions - but the house itself is located in a lovely peaceful spot! We couldn't have asked for more and will be back to stay again!

“I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed this break.”

The host Levie, is absolutely brilliant, so helpful and polite. The place was absolutely spotless. I genuinely have OCD and I was so comfortable. The towels, linen and place smelt beautiful and the views were stunning! We would definitely stay there again.

Karen April 2021

“Colin and Levi were the perfect hosts and couldn’t do enough for us.”

We were welcomed with flowers in the rooms and a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge. Levi had thought if everything. The cottage was super clean and chic, with everything you need for a holiday break, there is a patio out the back which is very private and lovely to sit out with a glass of wine and watch the sun set, Perfect location to get out and about in the cotswolds. There are some pretty walks on your doorstop, with a pub and shop within walking distance. Loved this little cottage, would highly recommend and will be returning.
