What guests are saying
We had a lovely stay at the cottage, with a couple of issues, we tried to contact the maintenance phone number but never heard back but we left a note and I’m shaw they will be sorted, the cottage itself is beautiful and in stunning location, also close to lots of walks and other beautiful villages, I would highly recommended this to other families and would definitely return Thank you for a lovely week
Very pleased to hear that you had a wonderful time at the cottage and in Enstone. Thank you for kindly recommending Lynton Cottage. The points raised have been attended to, sorry that they weren’t contactable on this occasion during your stay. Naturally, should there ever be something more pressing, you are most welcome to use the emergency out of hours line (provided inside and on the front of the welcome pack). We look forward to you visiting again soon.
Lovely cottage in a great location.
Quiet village with a brilliant pub at the end of the road (Crown Inn) where we enjoyed afternoon drinks and a delicious meal. However, our weekend was spoiled by the poor standard of cleaning. None of the bedsheets had been changed. They had sweat stains, blood stains, hair, bits of skin etc. The towels were clean but several were stained and there weren't enough of them for our group. Lots of hair on the rugs and bed throws. Dirty cups in the cupboards, etc. We reported this to Sykes, called their helpline, and also tried to contact the cleaners but no one has responded. I raised another complaint after returning from the trip but that was more than a week ago and still no word. A real shame - the cottage was nice otherwise.
Dear Vern, Upon receiving your experience feedback from Sykes, we acted immediately. Sorry if Sykes did not convey to you. We were all shocked upon receiving the news and rather confused as we had been issued and paid on time for the previous clean to go ahead, as such, there is no reason why you discovered the property as you describe it. We have terminated our contract with Be Clean and appointed a new maintenance, cleaning, and linen provider. They begin immediately. I personally travelled from overseas to meet with the new providers in person and attended the cottage. Be Clean were due to work and be paid through the notice period, but on the day of our recent bookings, we received a message to say that, “as you are terminating the contract and don’t trust the cleaners to do a good job, they no longer want to attend to clean”. Naturally, we found this extremely unprofessional and most disrespectful. I won’t bore you with the details, but needless to say, we were fortunate that swift action was made and no interruptions were caused for our upcoming guests. The lack of contact you received from Sykes is of concern, and this is also being looked into. We have since been informed that all guests can contact their emergency line and that details are provided to guests upon their check in message. That said, we are reviewing this and how best to move forward. Putting our guests first is our personal main priority and after a visit to the cottage, l’m always reminded of just how beautiful Lynton Cottage is. Now with these changes, we hope you visit soon to experience it in all its glory and we thank you for your comments. We apologise that on this occasion it did not meet the standards that we agree must be met, but we are glad that you enjoyed your time in the local area, which is truly breathtaking and full of wonderful things to do. We trust that we have the right team onboard now & that they will continue to respect our guests & the cottage the way it should be.
Some things were very wrong.
The phone provided did not respond to our calls or WhatsApp. The upper bathroom water didn't come out, it didn't have pressure or come out hot so we couldn't shower. We were locked inside because we didn't know how to open the door and no one answered the calls. There was a very dirty pillow. Lack of cleanliness in the kitchen
Good morning, Firstly, please accept our sincere apologies for any of the issues caused during your stay and thank you for raising them directly to us. As you can see, we are overseas due to the time difference, but when contact is made with us, we try to act swiftly. I have raised your contact issue directly with the company as it is vital guests can contact them at all times. This is how it should be. They were even meant to share their emergency line with guests at the point of booking. I have raised this again. The water can on occasion have a minor airlock and this is being investigated, however, there is also a straightforward fix to the solution and Sykes would have been able to advise. I believe there is also a notice in the bathroom. That must have been very worrying to have somehow found yourselves locked inside the property. Thankfully there are several exit points, but as this has never happened to any of our guests before or ourselves in the years of owning our property, l wouldn’t be able to advise I’m afraid. I assume that somehow the internal stopper lock was activated which provides extra security. Good old fashioned Google often comes in handy with things like that I’ve found. The dirty pillow case has been raised with the cleaning company and there are always extra cases and sheets in the top floor cupboard if ever needed. I appreciate that some of these items are only helpful if you stay in the future. We hope you managed to have an enjoyable stay overall. And thank you once again for sharing these items, of which are most important to us.
We had a wonderful stay at Lynton Cottage.
A property full of character and Cotswold charm. The underfloor heating and large log burner kept us wonderfully cosy throughout our stay, which made it even harder to leave. There’s plenty of space across both living areas, so everyone in our party could properly relax. The kitchen is better equipped than my own (which says a lot!), and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Having multiple bathrooms was also a real bonus for a larger group. If I’m being really picky, slightly larger bath towels would be the only small improvement I’d suggest. Thank you for such a lovely stay – we have a feeling we may well be back again!
Dear Kirsty, What a delightful and uplifting read! Very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and thank you very much for the 5* review and message. A lot of thought and effort goes into trying to ensure that our guests have a wonderful time. We are very pleased that you were all nice and snug as the weather has been rather wet and cold. No expense was spared on the beds so it’s always great to hear that they do their job well! We too would like to thank you for taking the time and care to leave the cottage in excellent order upon your exit. We really appreciate it! This has been noted and we very much look forward to welcoming you back soon.
This property is listed as luxury, but fell short.
No loo rolls provided, and not enough towels supplied. Luxury, I would expect these as a minimum plus a welcome pack maybe, so a little disappointed. Being told what is/isn’t provided (salt, pepper, pans, etc) would be helpful as it avoids guess work. Not setting the fire, but leaving it full of ash with no kindling or matches. These are the little touches that make a big difference in your perception of the place and the feeling of “luxury”. Positives, underfloor heating in the kitchen and lots of bathrooms. Negatives, the owners, or whoever prepares the property clearly doesn’t want to wow the customer but do the minimum. Yet, this house is priced as luxury but unfortunately did not deliver. Disappointed ☹️.
Dear Howard, Firstly, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and views, of which we take extremely seriously. Fortunately, we receive a lot of very positive feedback and in many cases, additional messages telling us how beautiful the cottage is. Naturally, upon receiving your comments, this comes as quite a shock but we both fully agree with you surrounding some of your points raised, in particular lacking toilet paper and the fireplace! Your comments have been actioned and sent to the cleaning/maintenance provider to action immediately. This should never be missed. Thank you for raising and bringing this to our attention. The welcome book is located in the kitchen and provides plenty of useful information, including options of wonderful places to visit in the area. We had previously provided a welcome hamper, however many guests weren’t taking full advantage of it and we decided not to pass the cost onto our guests. This might be something that we will revisit in the future. I can confirm that the kitchen is fully equipped with pots and pans but we have since decided not to replace other items, such as salt and pepper. Bizarrely, it’s amazing what other guests take with them and we simply can’t replace each time. We do recommend that guests arrange a food shopping delivery upon their arrival with the essentials that they will require during their stay. Regarding creating a ‘wow’ factor, we couldn’t agree more and it saddens us to hear that on this occasions, it didn’t meet your expectations, but we thank you for once again sharing your views. I have a call scheduled to discuss your comments with the cleaning/maintenance provider.
Country charm to the max!
Loved our stay here! Property was quaint and charming. We enjoyed our stay but the property was very cold on arrival and took a good 24+ hours to warm up, so not ideal. Lots of light bulbs didn’t work so we had to go around changing them on arrival, was pitch black in some areas….so not ideal!! Leftover rubbish from previous rentals and no bin bags for us to use either. These small issues can easily be rectified for future rentals.
Thank you for kindly sharing your feedback and for the lovely description of the cottage and her charm. We’re glad that you enjoyed! Thank you for raising those points. No matter how small, it’s important to us. The team have been notified. I was made aware that the bulbs that were out were only in the ceiling section of the principal bedroom and half landing area, where there are also smaller table lights to light the spaces temporarily. The ceiling lights do require an extendable ladder, as such, the maintenance team have been notified and that will be rectified.
A delightul and comfortable cottage in a beautiful village, with excellent pub dining within a few steps of the front door.
Dear Isabelle, We are so very glad that you found the cottage to be a delight! Lynton looks forward to welcoming you and your family again soon. Wishing you and yours a wonderful build up to Christmas.
Overall we enjoyed our stay, there’s a decent pub 2 mins away.
Some basic items missing, outdoor furniture needs renovation, the upper staircase is precarious, use caution, one of our guests had a nasty fall.
Very pleased to hear that you had an enjoyable stay overall. The pub and the setting of the 17th century cottage is something we both fell in love with immediately, and we wanted our guests to be able to explore, and fall in love too. Especially, with all that beautiful Enstone and the Cotswolds has to offer. Sorry to hear of your guests fall. As highlighted on the welcome message and inside the welcome pack, we advise all of our guests to be aware of low doorways and stairs. Due to the age of the property, these are certainly part of the cottages charm and should be expected when booking such listing. We wish you a pleasant build up to Christmas and the New Year!
Lovely property, could do with a through clean throughout.
Had all that you need for a short stay, very well equipped. Oven hadn’t been cleaned, cobwebs all over, shower could certainly do with some attention, on shower heads and grouting. Extra pillows needed in all bedrooms. Heating was fantastic, we had to turn it down! Overall a beautiful cottage could just do with more attention to detail regards housekeeping.
Dear Caron, Thank you for kindly taking the time to share those kind words with us about the cottage. We are both delighted that you found the property to be beautiful and lovely. Glad to hear that you were nice and snug too. We are however less than impressed upon receiving your views on the clean and we immediately sent your comments to the team surrounding those items. They have apologised, as do we, and they assure me that such items have been attended too. I, much like yourself, expect the standard to remain 5*. That’s what we pay for and it is extremely important to us that our guests have the best stay possible. The smaller items count! Warmest regards, Lynton Cottage
We celebrated my husband’s 70 th birthday with family and the cottage was a great place to stay The open plan kitchen lounge was a great space party in .
The table was big enough for all of us The room was very bright and the sun flooded through the windows The bedrooms were spacious and the beds very comfortable. We would recommend this cottage and also the The Crown pub which is just down the road for meals . Two things we found disappointing was the WiFi kept dropping out and the TV’s picture kept breaking up Also we had difficulty in controlling the under floor heating and with the sun streaming through the windows the kitchen was very warm
Many guests celebrating birthdays at the cottage! We’re delighted that you all had a great time, enjoying the space and comfort that Lynton Cottage has to offer. Thank you very much for sharing your feedback and for recommending us!
It was our 50th wedding Anniversary and we looking for a property for a party of six, after looking at photos we decided on Lynton Cottage, once we arrived we were a little disappointed ,photos were very cleverly taken ,front garden overgrown bundles of dead leaves and in need of a good clean up, once inside there were vases of dead flowers, we had to clean the grill of the cooker before it could be used, there were water damaged ceilings in need of painting ,and the back garden with bundles of dead leaves old balloons and furniture in need of a bit of TLC, it was overgrown blocking out light to the rear bedroom this area hadn't been cleaned in a long time, out of the four toilets two we unusable but this was sorted pretty quickly thankyou for that ,overall a nice area to stay but very expensive and in need of a bit of tender loving care.
First and foremost, very happy 50th wedding anniversary! Thank you for kindly sharing this latest feedback, of which is most helpful. We are of course, naturally disappointed to hear that certain aspects did not meet your desired requirements and this has been investigated further since your message. A gardener is in place and attended yesterday. The vase and other items raised have been reported to the cleaning company, as that should not have been missed. We apologise. If we had been made aware of this upon your arrival, we would have of course raised with the appointed team immediately to rectify. Needless to say, we trust that you had an enjoyable stay overall and that going forward the above items will continue to be addressed to the high standards that the cottage is known for. Thanks again. All the best.
We stayed at Lynton Cottage over the Easter weekend 2025 and couldn’t have been happier with our choice.
There were 8 adults and 2 babies in our group, and although we were initially a bit apprehensive about space, we needn’t have worried — the cottage was incredibly spacious. We never felt on top of one another; everyone had their own space, and the communal areas were large enough for us all to relax and enjoy time together comfortably. The photos of the cottage are great, but they don’t quite do justice to how beautiful and well-appointed the property really is. Each bedroom was generously sized and equipped with everything we needed. The bathrooms were spotless, and the number of them was just right for our group — no queues or waiting around! The outdoor space was private and perfect for enjoying breakfast alfresco or a BBQ in the evening — a lovely bonus, especially in good weather. The cottage was also well-suited for families with young children. A small cot (ideal for little ones under two) and an IKEA highchair were provided, which made things a lot easier for us. The location is ideal — set in a charming little village just a two-minute walk from a lovely pub, and only a short drive from the stunning Blenheim Palace. It’s a perfect base for exploring the area or simply enjoying a peaceful countryside retreat. The hosts were brilliant in the lead-up to our stay, with quick and helpful communication throughout. We would absolutely recommend Lynton Cottage to anyone looking for a special group getaway. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for having us!
Hi Elizabeth, thank you very much for the feedback of your recent stay at Lynton Cottage. We are both thrilled upon receiving this and very happy that you all enjoyed your stay. We would absolutely love to welcome you back again soon. Please feel free to follow us @cotswoldscottageuk All the best.
The cottage was really beautiful and comfortable.
The beds and bed linen were lovely quality. Had all the facilities you needed and the kitchen was well equipped. We would stay again when we are next down in the Cotswolds. The pub at the end of the road was so cosy!
Good morning Kitty, we’ve just seen your feedback come through. Thank you for those kind words! This brings us great joy to know that you enjoyed your stay in our 17th century Cottage and we look forward to having you stay again soon. When we first saw Lynton Cottage we knew that it had all the charm and character to become an enchanting place to stay, and we fell in love the moment that we walked through the door. Naturally, we put a lot of time and work into Lynton to bring it into the current century and with the view of trying to provide the best stay possible, yet retaining original features. There are still a few quirks here and there which should be expected due to the age of the property. The pub and local area surrounding Lynton Cottage fills so many with wonder and we both feel very relaxed and at peace there when breathing in the fresh air and taking in all that the beautiful Cotswolds has to offer, which is an extensive list of walks, quaint villages, shopping, food, nature and so much more! If you like your beer l hear that Jermey Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm is rather good and less than 10 minutes from the cottage. Much more for you to discover on your next visit to Lynton Cottage.
Nice cottage, fully equipped.
The only downside was the heating in a cold cottage was unresponsive to heating in the first 24 hours, 1 living room radiator did not work at all. Log burner only had 3 logs, 3 single pieces of paper, 4 very small firelighter blocks and 3 matches, hardly a warm welcome in a cold cottage. The welcome book with instructions etc should have been left on a table so it was visible, we shouldn't have to hunt around for it especially when the heating was needed with a young child.
Good evening, This feedback is extremely helpful, thank you. We have shared all of this with the appointed company who assists us with the running of the cottage. We both agree that the welcome book should be left in an obvious place. This has not come up before but we have raised accordingly. Extraordinary that there were not enough logs and firelighter blocks, a fresh order was recently delivered. Another order will be made. The wood store is located in the courtyard garden, to the side of the property.
We had a lovely stay at Lynton Cottage.
The property is quaint and cosy, with a good size kitchen diner for socialising. The beds were very comfortable with qiality bedding throughout. Parking on the drive is only for a small car, but pavement parking was adequate. We went to the Crown Inn for a meal on the first night, but food was poor. All in all a very enjoyable 4 night stay.
Thank you for kindly sharing your feedback of your stat at Lynton Cottage. We took time to select the furniture with comfort in mind. The aim, to feel like a home from home. Surprising to hear about your meal as it’s usually 5* service and very tasty. We look forward to welcoming you back. This time of year is particularly beautiful as the leaves change in colours and it’s just getting a little cooler, almost time for getting snug in front of the fire at the cottage.
Beautiful cottage in a lovely street, we all felt that the cottage was really homely and cosy and everyone found the beds very comfortable.
Will definitely book again
Wonderful! We are delighted that you had an enjoyable stay. Thank you very much for the feedback. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.
We had a very comfortable stay.
The cottage met all of our needs and exceeded all of our expectations. Lovely peaceful village location with a great pub nearby.
We’re delighted that your stay at Lynton Cottage exceeded all of your expectations, that makes us extremely happy to hear. Church Enstone has so much history and as such, it is impossible not to fall in love with the local people and its beautiful surroundings, and yet the cottage is still close to Chipping Norton and all of the other country delights such as Daylesford. We very much look forward to welcoming you back soon.
We absolutely loved our stay at Lynton Cottage.
However, we were disappointed by a number of things. There was no hot water in the master bathroom and although the owner told us how to rectify the issue, there was no running water in the master bathroom in order to fix it. This meant we were unable to use the master bathroom at all during our stay and there was no hot water to the bath to bathe two young children who do not like showers. This appeared to be an ongoing issue which the owner needs to rectify. The wifi did not work during our stay either despite trying to reset it and turn it off a number of times. The owner expected me to reach out to the wifi provider to rectify the issue which I didn’t think was very fair. I had no mobile internet at the property to do this anyway. This made it hard for us to entertain the two young children at times. Another issue was that the BBQ was left dirty by previous guests so we did not use it. I also picked out dirty cups and dishes when I went to use them which I feel should be checked before every guest stay. Nevertheless, the property was absolutely beautiful in itself, especially the courtyard, which did make up for some of these issues. It is set in the most idyllic village which was perfect for country walks and we were able to enjoy the pub just a few steps away from the house. The house was perfect for our family stay and made our Mum’s 60th very special. I am sure myself and my family would stay at the cottage again so long as these issues are rectified!
Good evening Emily, thank you for taking the time to write to us. We have already connected with the cleaning providers to ensure that such items are checked and double checked, and we were not aware sadly that the BBQ required cleaning otherwise this would have been addressed. We do state that should a guest use it, they are to clean it, which on this occasion a previous guest has not. I am somewhat at a loss with the bathroom as it’s newly fitted and after a contractor review and investigations, a method was put in place to release an airlock which meant it was all working fine. This is certainly very important to us both and of concern as clearly the previous plumber has failed to correct the fault, and as such we are taking further action to rectify this. UPDATE: the issue has now been resolved and the hot water in that bathroom is working effectively (23/08/24). Fortunately there are two other bathrooms at the cottage but we do appreciate how difficult that must have been for you, especially as your children do not like taking showers. This is a focus and we apologise. As for the WiFi this is certainly news to us and we have not received any feedback of this nature before. I am of the understanding that the company assisting with the WiFi (lack of) during your stay had requested that they were required to speak to you directly in order to help talk you through how best to rectify. I believe this was why you were advised to contact them directly. This is being looked into as a matter of urgency. Whilst we would prefer these types of things did not come up, when they do we will always continue to try and be on hand to resolve where possible and we trust that from reading your comments that you still managed to have a wonderful time celebrating your mothers 60th birthday. Very happy belated birthday and thank you all once again for sharing your comments, of which are most helpful. Warmest regards, Lynton Cottage
The cottage itself was lovely and suited our party well, but unfortunately, several issues detracted from our overall experience.
Firstly, the cleanliness left much to be desired. We found dirty toilets, extremely dusty and hairy bedrooms, grease and dust on the fridge door and floor, and even used contact lenses and dirty socks (not ours) to name a few concerns. Additionally, the top floor bathroom was unusable due to zero water pressure and no hot water in both the bath and shower. The kitchen was also under-equipped for a larger party. As a self-catering cottage with cookery books available, we expected to find adequate cooking equipment. However, there were no larger cooking pots, casserole dishes, or even a measuring jug, which made cooking for our group challenging. Upon arrival, we were greeted by an overflowing general waste bin by the front door, with flies swarming everywhere, which was quite off-putting. While we did enjoy our stay overall, the cottage could have been amazing with a few improvements. As it stands, I don't feel it offered good value for money.
Thank you for kindly taking the time to write to us. Important to let you know that all of your points are duly noted. With regards to the top floor bathroom it has come to our attention that on occasion there is an airlock. This can be very easily remedied and since further investigations we will now ensure that guests are aware and we will be writing to them with the details as to how best to remedy that should it ever occur, which it may not always do so. There is also going to be an additional printout with the basic outline of how you can easily remedy this at the cottage should it ever occur. Fortunately there are two other bathrooms at the cottage and a separate cloakroom should there be any issues at any point, and we will continue to be on hand where possible to advise, and assist as naturally we would very much like our guests to have the best time possible. We have since made a change to our cleaning provider and the linen provider. We would once again like to thank you for assisting us and sharing us with your views and we are delighted that you enjoyed the cottage and your stay overall. Lynton cottage looks forward to welcoming you, family, or friends again, and at which point as a gesture of goodwill, we will offer a form of discount. As the cottage was built in the 17th century it will invariably have quirks and we take onboard all comments to remedy should we be required to do so, as it is vital but also essential for us to move forward in the direction of positivity to fulfil our overall goal, which is to provide excellent standard to ensure the ultimate experience for our guests, that we also expect when we book somewhere to stay. Thank you. Warmest regards Lynton cottage
Very cute cottage, very deceiving looks tiny from the road then opens up into this big property with plenty of space for everyone!
Two tvs in two sitting areas so those who didn’t want to watch the football had a choice!! A couple of niggles…we were at full capacity of 8 adults not enough bowls or side plates per person, and when we arrived 4 of us had very damp bath towels & they weren’t the largest towels!! I feel cottage could do with a new set of towels hand & bath. Overall though a great location, very comfy beds & very pretty property with lovely outside sitting area.
Firstly, thank you very much for your feedback, it is very important to us to hear your views and make any changes where possible, or required. As this is the first year Lynton is welcoming her guests, we are learning all the time and very much happy to learn, especially when it comes to the general running of the cottage. We have since instructed a new cleaning and linen provider. I am aware that once we were informed of the towel situation, replacements we provided to you (on the same day) Delighted you slept well in the beds. With no expense spared we tried to provide luxury comfort mattresses and beds from Soho Home and sofa.com All points are duly noted, with thanks and we very much look forward to welcoming you all again soon.
We were a large group with both adults and children, so the house was perfect in terms of size.
There is plenty of communal space both inside and outside, as well as the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. However, after the number of reviews regarding the top floor bathroom, I would expect this would have been resolved by now. Unfortunately this was not the case for our stay, and even worse we had no water whatsoever for the upstairs bathroom. This is real shame, as outside of this, it’s perfect for a weekend retreat.
Good morning, we are truly delighted that you enjoyed your stay, minus the lack of water to the top floor bathroom. We are somewhat frustrated too as the information was provided to the necessary contacts, but sadly the same information doesn’t have appeared to have made its way to you. To ensure no issues come up going forward, and thanks to your help for bringing to our attention, we will be providing a print out at the cottage as to how best easily remedy it, should an air lock ever occur. These processes are being put in place and will be delivered to the cottage. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Thanks again!
Lynton Cottage is a special place, the layout, décor and furnishing all excellent.
The beds are very comfortable. The courtyard was a major advantage as it has the sun all day (when its shines, as it did for us!). The pub nearby is a major bonus, and the village is absolutely beautiful. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking for six people. Unfortunately, we also had the troubles reported previously by past occupiers. The shower in the top bathroom only provides hot water and no cold, therefore its unusable. Strange, as the bath next to it seemed to run fine. The shower in the green bathroom had a pitiful flow. We only used the heating once, which was fine, but it would have been nice to have heated towel rails. This is not what I would expect when paying this amount. In conclusion, we would definitely go back again, but would need some assurance the plumbing has been sorted.
We very much look forward to welcoming you all again and our sincere apologies regarding the points raised, all of which we are important to us and being investigated into further. Fortunately, due to an air lock, we believe easily remedied. We have since sent a contractor to review. Thank you for kindly being to our attention. We have separately since, instructed a new maintenance provider.
This cottage is beautifully furnished with plenty of shared space for the number of bedrooms/occupants and a well thought through inventory of utensils.
The courtyard, with its sunny aspect and multiple seating areas was a favourite. The quiet location but near a fantastic pub with super food choices was also a bonus. The only thing we’d have wanted more of is better and more instructions about operating the facilities. Showers and heating seemed to be a particular struggle. As it’s April - and pretty chilly - the evenings needed a heating boost in the house. Although we are entirely supportive of prudent use of fuel, it was not straightforward to warm the place up. Similarly, there was insufficient hot water, some showers seemed not to receive hot water or there was difficulty controlling the temperatures on the top floor bathroom, and in the green bathroom, controls were temperamental. Navigating this was not easy during a very short stay (ie - a bit frustrating but not a huge issue). It would also have been handy to have left some logs for the wood burner. Overall a wonderful place and we’d consider returning. Thank you
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for kindly sharing your thoughts, all of which have been considered and action implemented. We believe the matter at hand was in relation to an airlock. We very much look forward to welcoming you all again soon. The Crown Inn is truly delightful and I’m glad that you managed to get a booking. There are many charming and wonderful things to enjoy in that part of the world. I strongly suggest you book The Cotswolds Guy when you next stay at Lynton.
We had a wonderful start to the New Year staying at Lynton Cottage.
The cottage is beautifully decorated with all the utilities needed to make our stay comfortable. There's a great local pub and being able to have our dog come with us was a big plus. Also very close to Farmhouse if you want to stay somewhere that feels like an extension but with a cheaper per night price tag.
My sincere apologies, l had thought our responses had been sent to you. We are truly delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Lynton cottage and we very much look forward to welcoming you back. There has since been a few changes to the cottage which I’m sure will be welcomed by all guests who stay. See you soon!
Lovely Cottage.
Extremely well furnished and comfortable beds.,Intermittent hot water in top floor shower - a plumbing malfunction?? More firewood would have been nice to cover the 3 day stay
My sincere apologies, I was under the impression that our responses had been sent to you. Thank you for your kind review, and comments, all of which measures were taken. We have separately had a wood store built, so no excuses for lack of firewood and a new maintenance provider is in place to stay on top of refills. We hope to welcome you again very soon and thank you once again for taking the time to write to us.
Had a great holiday with 8 adults and 2 dogs.
Plenty of space and everything you need. Comfy beds and big living areas perfect. Garden for dogs. Exactly what we were after. My only negatives are the central heating and the dishwasher, doesn’t seem like we’re the first guests to have issues either. Boost button on the thermostat didn’t always work, the radiators only warm and the house got cold quickly with it being winter. As above, we still loved our time in the cottage and it was a perfect location, maybe just something to keep in mind.
Thank you very much for your review. We certainly look forward to welcoming you again and we’re delighted that you all had a lovely time, including your furry friends. The location is very beautiful and there is much to do. The points raised are duly noted with thanks.
We could have done with some bedside lamps on the top floor, when we used the dishwasher it leaked onto the kitchen floor, we had to use some tea towels to contain the leak There was a lack of socket outlets in the communal areas for charging etc.
All in all it was very pleasant cottage and we all enjoyed our stay, thanks
Thank you for your kind review. We very much appreciate the feedback to ensure we make the cottage the very best it can be and small changes have made a big impact, so thank you. For updated images and videos of Lynton, please feel free to review @cotswoldscottageuk
We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Lynton cottage and will certainly recommend to our friends and family.
The cottage was beautifully appointed with a stunning walled garden and the beds, bedding and linen were divine! Lots of lovely local walks and fabulous nearby pub serving delicious food, highly recommend. We hope to return at some point soon!
Thank you very much for your kind words and positive reviews of the cottage. We truly want our guests to have the best stay possible. Lynton very much looks forward to welcoming you and your family again soon. For any updates on the cottage, additional videos and photos can be seen @cotswoldscottageuk
