Keen Cottage

The property was perfect , we did have a problem parking the first day but was easier after the weekend.

Very quiet street and definitely would visit again.

A lovely property in a great location for visiting the Cotswolds, however the conservatory has no blinds even though photos on the site show them fitted.

This means when the sun is out it is completely unusable even in winter on a sunny day, heaven knows what the temperature must get to in the summer. Also the standard of cleaning in some areas is below standard, the shelf in the family bathroom Cuboard was particularly bad. That being said we had a good stay and really enjoyed our time there.

We are return guests to Keen Cottage.

The location is lovely, and it feels like a cosy home from home. We just love it.

It was perfect for our stay, but there were limited instructions available on how to work the heating.

The cottage was clean and in a great location for what we needed.

Wonderful spacious abode for a short week in the Cotswolds.

Location excellent for visiting the area. A serene atmosphere compared to other more popular villages. Loved the layout and all creature comforts. It is evident much thought went into the renovation of this structure. The only thing that could have made our stay better is if the deed were in our name. The microwave needs to be checked out. Even after following the instruction booklet, we found it impossible to operate. Beds were more than comfortable. It might be time for a newer, larger sofa. When sitting down you sink almost to the floor. We just replaced one is our own home with a similar problem. Info for the owner; the faucet in the master bath has a slow leak which will increase the water bill, the ceiling of the hall bath seems to have water damage in the corner from a leak where the two buildings meet. The plaster is already beginning to blister and will get professionally worse if not attended to. I mention because the owners only seem to enjoy their property for a short period in the spring of each year. I’d hate to see the problem get much worse before being attended to. We would certainly stay again in the future.

Whilst the outside of the cottage looks pretty, the whole place needs a deep clean.

The carpets, walls and sofa are dirty and stained. The sofa and beds are very uncomfortable. The conservatory has no blinds or shade and was like an oven even with the doors open. Mold in bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped and was clean. There is a nice little corner with an interesting collection of books. Booked two nights but stayed one.

We loved staying at Keen cottage.

Excellent location in quiet village but walking distance to local pubs and store. Located ideally for exploring the Cotswolds. The cottage has everything needed to enjoy a comfortable stay. Clean and well equipped. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home!

It was a very good standard and we really enjoyed the week we stayed

2nd time of staying at keen cottage and once again did not want to come back to reality It is such a lovely cottage and so well situated for everything you could want to do in the cotswolds we also had proper snow on one day which meant we stayed in for the day enjoying the cosiness 100% would recommend

This is the 4th time we have stayed at Keen Cottage - 2016 for 1 week, then 2 weeks in 2018, 2022 and this year.

We love it... very comfortable, excellent kitchen, and great location. We have a rental car and it's so easy to get to all our favourite villages. Wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in The Cotswolds.

We appreciated the cleanliness and features of Keen Cottage which made our stay most enjoyable.

The cottage is very comfortable, cosy and welcoming.

Situated in a quiet position in a charming Cotswold village, central by car to most places of interest and with numerous walks locally, a perfect place for a quiet stay. Two pubs with great restaurants in the village and lots of others within short driving distances.

Cottage was as described but unacceptable response to emergency plumbing issue.

It was reported at 19.00 on the Wednesday evening and a plumber did not come until 17.20 on the Thursday. Sink was completely unusable and was filled with black smelly gunge form the blocked pipes. water from upstairs sinks etc caused the l kitchen sink to overflow which meant we could not use the bathrooms properly either. We had planned to cook our meals and had bought food for this, seen by housekeeper, but had to go out as no way could any cooking be done due to hygiene issues and no sink and we would soon have run out of crockery etc. Very disappointed that no compensation was offered for the discomfort and in convienience.

The property was beautifully presented and extremely well equipped.

The bed and settee were very comfortable. The heating and hot water were excellent. The cleanliness was the best we have ever had, the cottage was spotless. We will definitely return.

Wonderful little cottage!

That’s the reason why it’s always booked!

Keen Cottage is a comfortable, stylish cottage set in the beautiful, peaceful village of Kingham that is easily accessible from/to London and nearby villages and market towns.

There is a very interesting book collection, we’ve made a list so that we may read some of them at our leisure another time. We all slept well on the very comfortable beds. There are a couple of simple updates we suggest: 1) Make the "Mind the Step" signs more visible by placing a contrasting strip along the steps. All 4 of us almost fell over more than once !! 2) Replace the toilet seat in the ensuite bathroom as this doesn't seem to close.

Would 100% stay here again its perfectly central for the majority of places to visit around the cotswolds

4 of us stayed at your lovely cottage in a lovely village and location.

The cottage was a great base for seeing the Cotswolds and for local walks. The Kingham Plough was a great pub delicious food and friendly staff. we will be back

It’s wonderful but it was too hot downstairs!

We felt bad because it seemed to be wasted by opening the windows

A beautiful cottage in a lovely location.

As close to perfect as you can get.

Lovely cottage with great facilities set in a quiet village with 2 friendly pubs.

Stayed during the heatwave and the owner had the forethought to provide an air con unit which was much appreciated. We would certainly recommend staying at the cottage which proved to be a good base to access most beauty spots in the Cotswolds.

Beautiful location - so peaceful and quiet.

We loved the way the two cottages had been joined with the glass extension, the log burner was great and the place was spotlessly clean (not something we always find). The bed was comfortable, the kitchen lovely and parking wasn't a problem. Only a couple of thing would raise this from a 95% perfect to 100%. The sofa and armchairs aren't the comfiest, a new set would really be an asset. Maybe also add a few books - it's always nice to pick up a book on holiday - and some tasteful pictures on the wall; both would add a more homely touch. And finally, while we appreciated the milk and biscuits (and I know people have allergies etc) but it's always really welcoming when find a small welcoming basket with say, bread, eggs etc. and some fresh flowers. Just a thought. But all in all, a truly relaxing stay and we'd come again for sure.

Keen cottage was lovely ,in a beautiful village.

The cottage is so well equipped ,and booklet on appliances all listed and explained .surrounding villages are easy to get to with a car or there is a train station in village if you fancy a drive to station £3.50 a day to leave car in station carpark . All in all keen cottage was a ideal place to stay and a lovely cottage

Very enjoyable stay.

Lounge furniture not the comfiest only slight criticism

Fantastic cottage in great location.

Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely, well equipped cottage.

Nice and cosy, especially with the wood burner. Would stay there again without hesitation. Good location. Parking right outside the cottage may not always be possible, so bear in mind when bringing lots of stuff; Also, double-check the key collection details; the description needs to be clearer on where "the alleyway" is.

Loved this cottage.

It felt very much like a home from home. It was very clean and comfortable, comfy beds and lots of sitting space between the living room and dining conservatory. We comfortably had 6 people socially distancing within the conservatory. The kitchen is very well stocked with crockery and ameneties. It's in a beautiful village with two gastro pubs within a few minutes walk and many others within 10-20 mins drive. Daylesford Farm is a gentle 40 mins walk away. Overall a great place to stay in a beautiful part of the country.

Two bath towels only, no hand towels or bath mats provided ,rubbish left in bedside table.

Dirty fridge, crockery and bathroom radiators. Furniture is now very tired, property needs a really good spring clean. Our third time here, paying top rate because of the Cheltenham Festival!!! We will not be returning.

A warm comfortable well equipped cottage in a picturesque village setting.

I would like to see a colander added to the kitchen equipment & lighting improved in the lounge to facilitate reading on dark nights. The dining room chairs are too low for the table. Otherwise I think the cottage is perfect.

The conservatory/dining room is comfortable, but there is no sunshade in there.

The fan is the only way to cool the room. This is a charming cottage in a delightful setting. A perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds - we discovered nearby Great Tew, a picture-perfect, chocolate-box-like, thatched village! The walk from the cottage along the bridle-path to the organic farm shop at Daylesford is rewarded with an excellent café experience.

The civilised library in the bookshelves provided reading that enhanced the spirit of the cottage; especially “The Bookman’s Tale” by Charlie Lovett.

The village of Kingham is charming. The shop sells adequate supplies and to dine at The Wild Rabbit Pub is a treat. Kingham station provides ready and easy access to visiting friends; a superior advantage. The proximity of Daylesford Organic Farm shop and cafes when one desires a special breakfast, is a bonus. Coming from Australia, the wide brown land, the honey coloured buildings nestled in the verdant grasslands and perfumed gardens, provided special joy. Our week of staying in Keen’s Cottage will always be remembered.

Gorgeous little cottage but for a week's stay we found the couch and chairs rather uncomfortable as my husband is very tall.

They are quite petite and firm. Good facilities in the kitchen area however we desperately needed a hoover by the 3rd day with 2 children staying too! The Village of Kingham was lovely but somewhere in the listing it said the cottage was in Stow on the wolds which is actually where we thought we were going. Not knowing the area we assumed Kingham was maybe a town within the county of Stow on the wolds or something...we got confused somewhere along the lines! Sykes could be clearer on where it is. We had to call to get the exact address and were told by the agent it was in Stow on the Wolds, Oxfordshire! Nice location however, warm and cosy. Would recommend to walkers or those seeking peace and quiet. We would stay again without the children but the area itself didn't have much for the family.

Kingham is the perfect little village!

Keen Cottage a cosy place to stay. Perfect for us.

The cottage was very well equipped .

..cosy and very comfortable. It was well situated with easy access to explore the beautiful surrounding area and nearby towns. The village location was good, very quiet and picturesque ....local shop and pub within easy walking distance.

Keen's Cottage is a delightful, warm and cosy cottage.

Everything exceeded our expectations. Absolutely loved it and probably the nicest place we have stayed in. Would love to come back. The only thing we could have done with was a couple of t towels but, hey, that is certainly not a complaint, merely a comment!! Thank you and Happy New Year.

We found the cottage and local village amenities extremely lovely and would have no hesitation in recommending it to family and friends.

Very nice accommodation in a nice village

Keen's cottage was so warm and welcoming!

A perfect blend of old and new! And thank you for the just right Christmas decorations!

Simply everything was perfect, the house, the village and the whole equipment in the house.

The cottage was amazing.

Perfect location and all the facilities were top quality.

I thought the house was very high spec.

Gorgeous kitchen!

Keen's cottage was wonderful.

Furnished and decorated to a very high standard. The cottage was very clean when we arrived.

BEAUTIFUL AREA, PEACEFUL & RELAXING, TRAIN STATION NEAR BY, KINGHAM PLOUGH FABULOUS FOOD.

It was a beautifully furnished and fully equipped cottage in a very pretty village.

Kingham is a great village for visiting the local area.

Lovely located, well equipped, charming cottage.

We had a great time in the village of Kingham and the surrounding area and the cottage was perfectly situated to allow that.

Beautiful cottage, well kitted out with a lovely fire.

Great location too.\ \

Cottage as described by you, no overblown claims (eg.

‘secret garden' etc.). Very well equipped and not cluttered with twee junk selected by, well meaning but misguided, owner. The library has to one of the best we have encountered. We deliberately chose a place for four persons (only my wife and I stayed) as we had previously been disappointed with smaller places and the price difference is not huge.

We researched long and hard before choosing this cottage for our fifth stay in the Cotswolds, our last three being booked through you.

This cottage was extremely well represented on your website, and had everything we wanted -comfort, quiet, and a convenient location. Ana, who takes care of the property is a star!

Perfect cottage for our small family with everything we needed.

Underfloor heating and great woodburner were a treat on cold evenings. Also perfect location in Kingham being just a short walk away from 2 pubs and convenience store. Short drive to Daylesford farm and Chipping Norton. Just loved it.

Lovely little property, very good location in Kingham, very much as advertised, very comfortable, good beds and showers, well equipped kitchen without excessive knick knacks.

Particularly nice to have an induction hob. A great stay.
