Great property.
Well positioned for places of interest like Bourton on the Water. Very quiet location. Welcome pack and plenty of supplies of everything, including bin bags. Secure beautiful garden for our dog. Lovely lady gardener came to do the garden and move the bins. Also two helpful ladies had come to put up the sofa bed downstairs, at our earlier request. Sorry we managed the stairs in the end. Thank you though. Advisable to follow Owner’s instructions and not the Sat nav for the postcode to the property. Only issue was with the hob. The child lock was on and it was difficult to use. Found youtube videos online, in German, to work it. We found the instructions on the final day, in a kitchen drawer. Others were together in the study. We had a really enjoyable stay and would thoroughly recommend this property. Thank you.
Lovely setting in quiet Cotswolds small village.
Very well appointed and spacious accommodation. Clear directions to property. Plenty of parking. Care needed with steep driveway.
We have had a lovely week in St Mary’s House.
The house is very spacious and easily accommodated the 4 generations whose ages ranged from 3 months to 95 years old. The downstairs bedroom, and bathroom next door, were ideal for the oldest member of the family. We also particularly liked the large and bright conservatory and garden. The village is beautifully located and we found it easy to get to Bourton on the Water, Stow and Burford. Our only negative was the cleanliness in some areas - dead flies, cobwebs and dust in the hard to reach corners etc. However, the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms etc. we’re all of a good, clean, acceptable standard. We would definitely consider returning to this property.
