Tannery Cottage

Great place to stay, well equipped and cozy.

Reality comfortable beds as well. Would be great if someone could pay more attention to clean. There was a lot of old dust on furniture and in the bathroom.

Tannary cottage is well situated near the city centre of Burford, is very pretty, authentic, full of charme, roomy, very well equinped, has a roomy garden to enjoy the morning sun and to use our BBQ, the bathroom is rather small but adequate.

The mattrass of the bedroom above the kitchen is worn out and need urgent replacement. We can recommend this cottage.

Tannery Cottage is lovely but you must read the two warnings in the listing.

The bathroom is tiny and the stairs are very steep and there is no handrail. The kitchen is well equipped though the fridge must be replaced in short order. Full of character and charming.

Tannery Cottage is a beautiful old house, in easy walking distance from the centre of the very pretty town of Burford.

The cottage had everything we needed and was easy to park nearby. It has loads of character, although may be a little tricky for less mobile people due to steps from the road and a narrow winding staircase. The electric heating took a while to warm up and the house was cold on arrival, but fine once we put on a while. There are loads of pubs and places to eat nearby. Thoroughly recommended.

Lovely cottage in a wonderful location.

Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms. Bathroom tiles and fan would benefit from a deep clean. Living room cosy but furniture could do with an update. A safe secure enclosed garden, great for dogs. Only a short stroll away from Burford high street, with lots of shops and lovely pubs. Lovely weeks stay, would definitely return.

Bathroom is far too small - less than 1 sq.

metre floor. Underfloor heating is good though. Considering the price paid for 4 nights (£762) would expect more room and more luxurious. This is a very basic, small and impractical bathroom, especially for 4 people. No room to dry oneself, had to have door open to do this (not a good view for other guests if they are in the bedroom). Extractor fan? If it is one, then doesn’t work and is clogged with dust. Nowhere to hang damp towels, hand towels could be hung on back of door but nowhere for larger towels either in the bathroom or the bedrooms. Cleanliness We have concerns that the cleaner being employed is not cleaning thoroughly or adequately throughout the property. • Kitchen ¬ cooker top filthy, grimy, greasy. Cooker hood is filthy, can write name in the oily dust on top. ¬ Some dirty cutlery in drawer ¬ Ironic cleaning pack left for us to use. Maybe the cleaner would benefit more from this! • Living room ¬ TV filthy screen ¬ Dust and cobwebs everywhere, thick black cobweb hanging from mantelpiece ¬ Wood burning stove, thick layer of dust on top and ash underneath ¬ Sofa and chair covers grubby, stained in places (details of cottage contents stated sofas (plural) only one? ¬ Grey throw on back of sofa is grubby, worn and has holes in ¬ Logs provided but no paper or fire lighters so unable to light fire on first night (not able to get in to cottage before 4pm meaning nowhere to get those items needed) ¬ Without being able to light fire this meant the room was cold, and alternative heating provided was not adequate enough to keep warm. Fortunately, the weather was reasonable and therefore extra jumpers were sufficient. • Other ¬ Garden furniture was filthy and therefore could not use even though weather was nice enough to sit out In summary, the cottage needs a thorough clean and needs to be cleaned properly before each new booking. This is clearly not happening. For approx. £800 for 4 nights we would expect much higher standards throughout the property. It is with regret that we have to raise these points as it is not something I am used to having to do. Previous stays in other cottages have always met my, not unreasonable, expectations. A partial refund should be provided.

Lovely cottage & would stay again although the cottage could do with a towel heater somewhere as we spent all week trying to get towels dry in the tumble dryer!

! I appreciate space is tight upstairs & would be difficult to fit. Otherwise well stocked & very clean

Excellent location with easy parking.

Lovely cosy cottage, quiet road, off road parking available, very comfortable beds, plenty of storage, great facilities in kitchen, close to high street, witj an array of pubs, cafes and restaurants.

Idyllic surroundings and amazing views. We will be visiting again soon

Great location just a short stroll from the main high street.

Beautiful old cottage with lots of lovely qwirks and history in every corner. Overall it felt like it needed just a little more TLC to take it from good to great. The IKEA sofa and two armchairs in the lounge have been VERY well used and provide little comfort (after an hour we were all feeling worse for wear). The double bed in the second bedroom (with fireplace) is either broken or based on an extremely uneven floor (your feet are significantly higher than your head when lying down) so we were unable to use it after two very sleepless nights. Lastly - the kitchen items weren’t the cleanest and I suspect (as with many holiday lets) you take the gamble of how well the prior guests wash up the pots/pans/chopping boards. All these points are all very easily resolved and whilst they were a little inconvenient during our stay - it didn’t take away from the fact that it’s a beautiful old cottage in an absolutely fantastic location.

Beautiful cottage on a nice location.

Close to restaurants and shops.

We arrived at our wonderful holiday cottage with our two chihuahua.

Sadly, we put them in the garden and found eight piles of dogs mess from a rather huge dog, presumably from the previous visitors. We had to sort this to enable our dogs to use the facility we had paid for. Not a good start. Cork screw inadequate and cheap, difficult to use. Downstairs a bit tired with stained furniture. Dog owners do not have lower standards than non dog owners.

Really nice cottage.

Beds were good quality, lots of utensils and homely basics for being able to cook a Christmas dinner and the location was perfect to the village High Street. Also couldn’t recommend the butchers and the cheese shop enough! Really lovely cottage to spend Christmas in, thanks for a nice stay. Matt

A lovely cottage - close to the centre of Burford in Gloucestershire.

It is comfortable and well equipped - but a little lacking in space. Not serious criticism, but know that not comfortable to too many family members. jh

Great property, great location as in close to amenities but far enough away from hustle and bustle of High street.

An excellent fully secure and maintained garden for our small and aging Jack Russell dog. Real grass makes a pleasant change when staying in a holiday rental. Stairs are a little challenging however this is made clear up front on Cottage Description when booking. Great stay.

The property was well equipped and generally well maintained and very convenient for time in Burford

We have a Lively stay en nothing to be critical over

We have sent a complaint due to various problems including mice and leaks and awaiting a call back.

Fantastic location, lovely property, and great enclosed garden for the dog.

The stairs to the bedrooms are steep. Kitchen was well equipped but we couldn’t get the grill to work. All in all a fabulous stay.

The cottage is beautiful although the description in no way explains just how steep the stairs are.

They’re actually quite dangerous and there’s no hand rail. We tried several times to get in touch with Manor Cottages to tell them there is a leak coming through the ceiling in the dining area, and also to say our holiday was cut short by 3 days due to illness, but nobody answered the phone or replied to my emails which I think is pretty poor. We would return to this cottage because the location is fabulous! The beds are extremely comfy also, and the garden was amazing for our dog. Such a shame we were too ill to enjoy it.

Great holiday cottage Amazing location with the high street & amazing food close by.

We didn’t cook there but it seemed to have everything you would need. Also nice private garden in the sunshibe

This was our second visit to Tannery Cottage.

It’s a very pretty cottage in a wonderful location, and our dog loves the enclosed garden. It’s let down a bit by the quality of the kitchen equipment and facilities.

Lovely little cottage in beautiful Burford.

Small but perfectly formed - easy access to the pubs and the countryside. Lovely wood burner (wood at the service station) and a safe garden for dogs. Just the thing for a long weekend!

A lovely cottage in a fantastic location for short stays.

We really enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Overall liked the property and garden, great quiet location in village.

However, did find the property cold, even with log burner lit. The bedroom (above sitting room), was cold, and the mattress uncomfortable. Lights in kitchen flicked a lot. Did feel there was a damp smell when entering property. Without any radiators we didn’t manage to fully dry our towels.

We had a great stay.

Perfect location. On road parking available, short walk to High Street. Lots of good eating places, pubs, shops a short walk away. Fully enclosed garden a bonus for our dog. Everything we needed in the cottage. Log burner for those cosy nights in. We had a couple of long, countryside walks with the dog straight from the cottage and lots of places to visit in the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful cosy cottage, superb location near shops & pubs.

The house is well-equipped and the beds are so comfortable. Really lovely place - the service from Sky Cottages was brilliant.

We had a lovely weekend in this beautiful cottage.

The garden was great for the dog, safe and enclosed and sunny! Short walk to the town centre with a wealth of eateries and gorgeous things to buy. Would highly recommend

We were a smaller party than anticipated (due to covid) and the cottage was absolutely luxurious for just two people.

The cleaners were still there until just after 4pm, but it was a lovely day so we sat in the garden. They left the place spotlessly clean, so no complaints from us. The cottage was well equipped, except there was no loo roll to be found. The provided hot drinks facilities and a packet of biscuits were appreciated. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom, although tiny, was nicely fitted out. All in all, it felt like a real home away from home, much more relaxing than a hotel stay would have been.

Wonderful property in a fantastic location.

We stayed for a long weekend and the cottage had everything we needed. The stairs to the upper floors are very steep but this is an old cottage and these types of features are to be expected and we loved the quirkiness. Large garden which is unusual for a cottage so centrally located. Would definitely return.

Broken fridge, replaced by "freezer" which cans exploded in at 5 in the morning!

Replaced again by a tiny table top fridge so we couldn't buy fresh ingredients to cook with. Shower hose broken so waited 24 hours in heatwave for a shower until it was replaced. No lightbulbs in 2 lamps.

A lovely place.

Cozy lounge with logburner and lots of space in kitchen diner. Beds were very comfortable and rooms full of character. Manor cottages ( owners) proved to be very helpful too. Found the grill difficult to master. It needs some extra explaining as the manual is not clear.

Considering we couldn’t enter the property until 6pm, due to deep clean we were disappointed with the cleanliness, the bedroom was full of dust, an empty cardboard box had been left in the living room, our dog found a raggedy old dogs toy behind the chair and the worst thing for me was all the dog muck left on the lawn

Overall we were satisfied with the cottage and location to Burford High Street.

The Royal Oak Pub and Highway Inn were excellent and definitely worth a visit. Burford is a great place to stay and stroll around with many interesting shops. Our only criticism of the cottage is that the living room would benefit from updating with new furnishings.

Was really small and old fashioned needs updating.

Stairs a nightmare. Location good but parking a problem. Bathroom so tiny could hardly move in it.

Lovely cottage but not ideal for anyone with mobility problems as stairs are difficult to climb.

Facilities and cleanliness very good and good location to visit other popular locations.

We enjoyed our stay in Burford, parking is an issue if you want to be close to the cottage.

It could be a lovely place to stay but it is in real need of updating and money spending on it. The lounge especially really uncomfortable suite which has covers on it which are in dire need of washing. We had to wash all the cutlery, plates, mugs and most certainly the glasses which looked like they’d not been washed in ages. We did take some our own utensils and pots and pans. But overall we enjoyed our stay in Burford. With the previous lock down the cottage could have been decorated and deep cleaned it would have been an ideal opportunity. Would we stay in the Tannery again (NO is the answer). The weather was superb all week so that was a real bonus.

Lovely cottage and a very nice holiday.

Great location just off the high street with 2 very good pubs within 400m.

Really lovely cottage in a brilliant location.

The Cottage was lovely, it had everything that we wanted for our stay, would recommend it.

You very kindly let us know that we could check in early which was much appreciated.

Lovely little cottage in the heart of Burford, not even 5 mins walk from the High St.

It's very well equipped, garden is pleasant and enclosed and, extra important at this time with Covid 19, it was spotlessly clean! As the listing says the loft room is very small and the beds are under beams - my 8 year old twins were too big for this room so slept in the 2nd double room. Stairs are steep, I would not recommend for the elderly.

Fabulous cosy cottage in the perfect location.

Our children loved it and so did we. Comfy beds, excellent kitchen and well appointed. Lovely snug living room. We enjoyed the proximity to the high street, cafes and pubs and access to roads to travel around. Lovely stay - will be back!

Gorgeous cottage is wonderful location with very comfy beds.

Unfortunately towards end of holiday we discovered oven did not work so this needs fixing. Despite emailing ahead of our visit after reading some bad reviews about cottage being dusty and in need of good clean we arrived to find very dusty - cobwebs all over beams and in shower and very dirty under beds etc - in need of thorough clean and airing. Also needs painting above sink in kitchen where it’s been plastered - generally needs refresh. Throws and sofas pretty old and stained. Despite this we loved location but cottage in dire need to deep clean and refresh.

Parking car was a nightmare so busy .

nice cottage and garden for our dog . But it states no dogs on furniture or upstairs which l wouldn't let my dog do anywhere but there was dog hair everywhere my husband was covered in it when he sat on sofa and bedroom carpet was also like this. But be fair to housekeeping the Hoover was awful.

Beds very uncomfortable and not meeting standard Towels not up to standard Should have bath/shower toiletries Otherwise all good

I would highly recommend a stay in this lovely wee cottage.

A perfect home from home

a very cosy comfortable cottage where you feel at home almost instantly.

Excellent cottage!

We stayed in a very pleasant cottage in a very pleasant town with nice countryside around it.

: Lovely cottage, well equipped, great area and base to explore.

Excellent!

It was our first visit to the Cotswolds and Tannery Cottage was a fantastic base.

location, size, layout and comfortable

lovely relaxing place in a great location

beautiful location and I liked the garden space attached to the cottage.

The rooms were clean and comfortable. I felt Burford was a good base to travel from to get to the other villages.

Good location - close enough to the the centre of Burford to enjoy the services, but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle.

It also has a great garden. Mr Shaw, May 2017.

it was very well equipped, perfect secure enclosed garden for our dogs to chill out in.

Very close to all shops and at the start of many excellent local walks.\ \
