Sunnyside Cottage

Firstly we all had an amazing time at sunnyside cottage.

It was the perfect location to visit Oxford. We used the park and ride bus witch was really good value, and i would highly recommend the hop on off bus in the city, take advantage and go on the include guided tour. As for this lovely house it was clean and cosy and the beds was very comfortable. A small mention the ceiling is low in the lounge mind your head! We had an amazing time and highly recommend this cottage and thank you sykes for resolving a small problem we had we will return. John, Jan,Mo & Ray

The accommodation was very well planned and the facilities were excellent.

The only comment I would make is that the low ceiling in the lounge should be highlighted in the particulars. Could not fault the amenities , everything seem to be provided.

Our short 4 night stay was just perfect.

The cottage was not only the prettiest in the area, it provided all the creature comforts of home and more. Its location also made it perfect for visiting our favourite Cotswold towns of Burford and Bourton-on-water. In one word I would describe the cottage and it management service as Excellent. Andy & Tracy Burton

The cottage was very well equipped and very comfortable Road was noisy but the back garden was very well secluded so enjoyed sitting out in it Bampton itself was alit tired and dirty but there was many other places to go and visit The garden center down the road from the cottage is excellent for lunches and afternoon teas

Has a lot of personal charme and warmth

This is perhaps one of the best appointed holiday lets I have ever stayed in.

The kitchen had every facility you could think of, the lounge very comfortable and the beds great too. Just cannot recommend this property enough. Any problems? The virgin box remote had gone 'walkies' so had to change channels by bending down if you wanted HD?

The Owners of the cottage have tastefully restored and furnished the property to high standard.

It was extremely clean and everything worked as described. The low ceilings could be a problem for the tallest people I’m 6 foot and hit my head but was well aware of it after I laughed. Parking was adequate for regular size vehicle. The village is idealistic country village full of charm and patina.

Absolutely loved our stay at Sykes Cottage.

It was delightfully charming, very well organized and surprisingly spacious, once we got inside. Beware the ceiling height though! My husband is 6’ 3” and I’m 5’ 3”. While I sailed through doorways, he had to duck and had to be extra careful, standing up in the tv room.

This cottage is absolutely gorgeous, would highly recommend.

absolutely beautiful cottage, very well equipped, very comfey beds, spotlessly clean, best to reverse in to the drive as its very blind coming out.

we had a wonderful stay.

We stayed here for a week, we found the road noise to be extremely loud and constant, very close to the cottage, also the bed upstairs is very tilted and off to one side, we appreciate the cottage is old but there is no reason for the extreme incline of the bed, it isn’t a slight incline it’s very obvious.

We had to move down to another room and not sleep in what we believed was the master, The kitchen worktops are extremely sticky, anything that touches them stuck, this was very unsettling regarding the hygiene side of things, also the window sills had muck and dust on them and also a lot of cobwebs that were not to do with with cottage age! On opening the windows there was an awful lot of dead insects and general dirt . Overall if these issues were addressed the cottage is ok but as it was self catering the condition of the worktop forced us to eat out more than we wanted to as it so unhygienic. The cottage was well equipped but we were unable to utilise it due to the worktop condition.

The cottage was incredibly tiny.

While the listing does mention the low ceiling for the lounge, it should have been a top health warning as we did have someone that was too tall for that space. I’m shocked that it wouldn’t be highlighted and that no one when I called told us that this would be the case before we booked. In addition, the kitchen was so narrow that only one person could be there at a time to cook and prepare food. The cottage is just so small the only good part is the conservatory with a well lit dining room. I will not be booking again and would expect compensation for such a bad experience (especially given we paid a significant amount for the cottage).

We were delighted by the great renovation of this period cottage.

We arrived to a spotless home which we thoroughly enjoyed. It really was well equipped.

Beautiful cottage, everything is catered for in clever space saving spaces.

Great little cottage and met all our expectation.

My family is tall yet we had been well warned about the ceiling in the main room and hence not an issue - all added to te charm of the place!

We had a lovely time at the cottage unfortunately on Christmas day the boiler shut down so we had no heating or hot water.

Although we did have the lovely log burner in the main living room.We contacted yourselves on Christmas day and someone came out on boxing day to fix it which they did,all dealt with very well, just didn't have hot water or heating elsewhere in the cottage for nearly two days??

We just loved the coziness and tasteful furnishing of the cottage - some great architect must have been at work there :-) .

.. it really felt like home away from home. the fireplace, the heating, the kitchen, the bathrooms ... all beautiful, functional and well equipped ... super cute village with kind and friendly people. Movie lovers like us will freak out over the location! Bampton is the Downton Abbey filming location, close by are Castle Combe - backdrop to Dr. Doolittle - and Oxford, which makes you feel you're in Harry Potter or Alice in Wonderland scene.

Really nice cottage, cosy and with all the features that you need.

The kitchen had everything we wanted (even tongs which are often missing!) and the local village has butchers, bakers and a co-op for anything else. The village also has a number of pubs, a really good Chinese takeaway and even a fish and chip van that comes by on a Monday evening. The location is ideal for the Cotswolds as it only took us 20-40 mins to get to every place we wanted to go. The cottage was very quiet and the quality beds and bedding meant excellent nights sleep for all. Will be looking to book again the next time we want to explore the wonderful Cotswolds.

The cottage is fantastic, everything is immaculate and they have provided everything for a great stay.

The guide book provided for the area was very comprehensive and we enjoyed several walks and bike rides. The village is beautiful with a shop and deli. Pubs are OK but not really family friendly apart for The Romany All in all an amazing cottage.

It was a great stay.

The house is very comfortable. Only the low ceiling but we knew that in advance... The house is a short drive away from Oxford and that is a perfect place to be. Lovely buildings and a lot of culture!

I cannot say enough about Sunnyside Cottage.

! My husband and I just spent a glorious week at this very charming, very comfortable cottage in the beautiful little town of Bampton. Conveniently located in the heart of The Cotswolds, Bampton is a small almost untouched village. Because of its originality and period charm, it has been used throughout the filming as downtown ‘Downton’ in the hit series Downton Abbey. St. Mary’s church, Mrs. Crowley’s house, the library, it’s all there, A wonderful map called the Downton Mile has been created for visitors. It takes you on a wonderful walking tour of Bampton where there is so much to see beyond DA in this wonderful town brimming with history. A short walk from Sunnyside Cottage and you are in the heart of Bampton This treasure of a house is more than 200 years old. However, it has been recently renovated with an updated well stocked kitchen, new bathrooms and more. My husband and I were in the upstairs master bedroom with a very large brand new attached bath with a large roomy shower. Tons of closet space. Very comfortable king size bed. We didn’t use it but there is also a lovely downstairs king size bedroom also with its own very nice bathroom. The entire house has been professionally redecorated, top to bottom with beautiful period furnishings as well as new comfortable seating and carpeting. Easy to use fireplace that was efficient and started up easily. We were there in early May so we were lucky enough to experience an explosion of blooms and greenery in the perfectly maintained lush garden. A very thorough large binder has been made for guests filled with maps of surrounding towns, menus of local restaurants, brochures of various attractions and more will more than meet the need of any visitor regardless of their interests. My only regret is that we had to inevitably leave! We do hope to return here someday as there is much we would like see that we couldn’t fit in this trip but we will feel at home and happy returning to Sunnyside Cottage and The beloved town of Bampton.

We had a lovely stay beautiful cottage everything we needed and more.

We are very pleased with the cottage, it exceeds our expectations in every respect\ Mr Marsh, Dec 2017

Fabulous location.

....and beautifully decorated and well stocked. Exceeded expectations. Wonderful tips and books and notes about area supplied by owners

The cottage which is exquisitely furnished and fully equipped is perfectly situated for the day trips into the heart of the Cotswolds.

If you want to leave the car at home there are many interesting local footpaths and basic grocery shopping is just 5 mins walk away. Friendly neighbours.

We enjoyed our stay to the fullest.

This cozy cottage comes with everything one could wish for. Loved the decorations. Super base to explore the nice villages nearby.

We enjoyed our stay at Sunnyside Cottage - everything very tasteful, homely and well equipped.
