• "Mill Stream Cottage is simply stunning."

  There were six of us spending the Christmas holiday and we couldn't have been happier or more comfortable. Decorating within is beautiful and beds were made with lovely duvets and coverlets. And each bedroom is ensuite. More than ample cookware and tableware is provided. We had a small issue with the toaster and a new one was delivered within an hour or two, proving that response to any problem will be handled swiftly. The surrounding village is magical and the cottage is well positioned for further exploration of the Cotswold area. This property is truly extraordinary. We have been to many holiday rentals in the Cotswolds over the years and this one surpasses all of them. Definitely an amazing holiday!

  So central to so much in the Cotswold region. The town of Lower Slaughter just added to the experience. Plan on making another journey to the Mill Stream Cottage in the future. Really enjoyed the enclosed patio especially in the early morning and late afternoon.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend. Please do bear in mind that the step into the ground floor bedroom is quite high so this may prove a little tricky for anyone elderly or with limited mobility.

  Thank you for your recommendation, we're so pleased to hear you had a lovely stay in Lower Slaughter. We have pictures on the website showing the step up to the ground floor bedroom. We look forward to welcoming you back to Mill Stream Cottage. Best wishes, Character Cottages Property Owner

  The kitchen was very well equipped, which is rare pleasure in rentals. The surrounding village was lovely and we had a wonderful tea by the fire in one and a few drinks at the other. My only regret was that our stay was not longer.

  Thank you for your lovely comments. We are pleased you liked this well equipped cottage and enjoyed the area. We hope we can welcome you back again. Best wishes Character Cottages Property Owner

• "We loved Mill Stream Cottage."

  Although we live in the area I booked it so that we could spend a few days with friends visiting for my Mother's funeral. It was the perfect retreat. Set in a chocolate box village it's in a really pretty setting. Parking is fine in the driveway for two small to medium sized cars and our additional car was parked in another road as no parking is permitted in the road near the cottage. Everything is of a really high standard and the cottage is fully equipped. There is even a snackwich maker! The beds are sumptuous and of a top quality hotel standard. The only slight niggle was there was only luke warm water coming out of the shower above the bath whenever I tried but the hand held shower on the bath was hot. It wasn't a problem as there were two other showers in the cottage and we like to bath anyway. We loved the woodburner and as it was chilly we enjoyed our meals on our laps in the living room. We loved our stay and it was the perfect retreat given the sad circumstances, we would definitely return if circumstances permitted.

  Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your stay. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay, despite the circumstances. It would be lovely to welcome you again one day in the future and we thank you once again for providing us with such lovely feedback. Best wishes, Character Cottages. Property Owner

• "The only thing i would say that would maybe need attention is the shower in the single bedroom (more specifically the showerhead may need replacing, shoots water out in all directions) and the timer on the boiler is out, heating comes on an off throughout the day and night, so may need adjusting correctly."

  apart from that, it was a perfect stay :)

  Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Mill Stream Cottage. We appreciate the comments with regards to the shower head and i will pass on this to the Property Manager. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards Character Cottages Property Owner

• "The first thing mentioned on the listing is an open fire, but this is now out of commission and looks like it’s been that way for a while."

  It is still listed as available. No shelves in the showt

  Thank you for providing this feedback and we're sorry to hear that you were unable to use the open fire. A new fire was installed at the end of August. At the time, the weather was too hot to commission the fire. This is now fully usable for the cooler autumn months. Please be assured that the Property Manager is always available during your stay to help with issues which arise. We hope to welcome you again. Best wishes Character Cottages Property Owner

• "This is a lovely cottage, beautifully furnished and very comfortable."

  It’s always a bonus to have comfortable beds! Although dry it was extremely cold for the time of year so the open fire was a bonus, for extra logs and a really good food shop the coop in Bourton on the Water is ideal. Our only problem was that the central heating broke down on our last day but the situation was swiftly handled by the housekeeper Joanne. For visiting the lovely Cotswold villages Mill Stream Cottage is in an ideal situation and we would highly recommend it

  Fabulous you had a lovely stay in the cottage. Excellent to hear the heating situation was quickly resolved. Thank you for saying that you would highly recommend the cottage. Property Owner

  Great to have a parking space too as parking in the town a bit tricky. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything required for cooking and the beds were very comfortable. The hot water never got particularly hot in the downstairs shower but other than that it was an excellent week.

  Thank you for your lovely comments regarding your stay at Millstream. It's wonderful to hear you enjoyed the house as much as we do and it's in a great location to explore the Cotswolds.

• "Mill Stream Cottage was wonderful."

  Just as I had hoped. Clean, cosy and comfortable. A real home away from home. It had everything my husband and I could have possibly needed. Plenty of Crockery, cutlery etc., as well as many little kitchen extras! The welcome pack was greatly appreciated too! All of the facilities in the rest of the house were just as welcome. Situated in a fantastic location with walking routes right outside the door. Lots to see and do in neighbouring Bourton on the Water, an easy 30 minute walk away. Exactly what we needed for our week away. Thank you to the owner and to Character Cottages. Would thoroughly recommend both!

  We phoned and texted Joanne before departure and she was very helpful with time of arrival etc. The cottage was clean, comfortable and very well equipped with an outdoor patio area which was ideal for morning coffee or pre dinner drinks. Our daughter was married at St Mary's Church, Lower Slaughter during our stay and the cottage was ideally located for us to walk along beside the stream to the church on a lovely sunny afternoon. Would highly recommend Mill Stream Cottage.

  There was a items thoughtfully provided for the first day breakfast and it has all the comforts needed for a stay. The village itself was amazing and is a great central location to explore the Cotswold and further. Also the village is along many hiking paths which make it easy for hiking and for walking down to Bourton on the water for meals. Would definitely recommend this property.

• "My wife and I were delighted with Mill Stream cottage."

  It's location was perfect in one of the most quintessential English villages. We began and ended each day with a walk along the river which was in itself a highlight of our time in the Cotswolds. It was very central to the Northern Cotswold with major attractions less than half an hour away. We especially enjoyed the Longborough Opera - less than 15 minutes from the cottage. The cottage itself was beautifully furnished with every possible item necessary for the enjoyment of our stay. We played chess every evening on the patio and enjoyed our breakfasts there listening to birdsong and the bleating of nearby sheep. We can't recommend this cottage highly enough. We hope to return soon.

• "The cottage and its location were perfect, and we struck gold with the weather as well."

  Lower Slaughter is one of the loveliest villages in the Cotswolds, and an ideal base from which to visit the many other attractions, towns and villages in this most beautiful part of England. Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and Broadway deserve particular mention. We also visited Adlestrop, made famous by the poet Edward Thomas, and the blackbirds still sing there. We would love to spend another holiday in Mill Stream Cottage.

  We love the Cotswold,we love the Slaughters, we love Mill Stream Cottage. All the necessary accoutrements to make escape time a delight. I marvelled at the kitchen equipment(Oka! Jamie! In a holiday cottage?) and wept (nearly) at the nestling of the cottage, close to the (eponymous-so of course!) stream and dense with deliciousness. Roomy, but comfy, packed to the rafters with fun things to look at, quirky objects to discuss and a feel of family always close. On the bright days and the murky ones, we laughed, sang, chatted, played music and planned....... We’ll be back!

  The rooms were so comfy. Bathrooms are big and modern. Kitchen was amazing. We cooked one meal there just to enjoy the kitchen. The half bath was a nice feature too. The room by the kitchen that can be made into a bed was perfect for our girls and they loved it. The fireplace was amazing while we played games in the comity living room. Great communication for any questions you have about the place. The area is so cute and fun to walk around and checkout the old church nearby. We also ate twice at The Bell on Stow, Excellent menu and so quaint. We will be back!

  The cottage easily sleeps 6...don't be put off by the room off the kitchen, its actually the best bedroom in the house. I can honestly say it’s the most well equipped AirBnB we have ever had, whatever you can think of is in that house including bikes. The location is also amazing and you can walk to the level village Inn within 5 mins down the river path.

• "Mill Stream Cottage is beautifully and stylishly appointed."

  The bedrooms are very private and each has its own full bathroom. We were extremely comfortable in this charming house. The stone garden is pretty and gives one a chance to sit outside and enjoy the warmth of the sun. Lower Slaughter is a quiet village perfectly situated in the heart of the Cotswolds.

• "What a stunning property!"

  We were 3 adults and one 3yr old, and we had so much space. The cottage is decorated beautifully, tastefully and with high quality brands. Either the host has some interior design background or they hired a designer. It feels like it was furnished for the hosts to live in originally, with all the amenities you could imagine plus extra. The kitchen is particularly well stocked with utensils, crockery, food mixer, toaster and more. The little courtyard outside is gorgeous, with its own little water feature. We had homemade afternoon tea here and it's a perfect little sun trap. There's a Tesco 10 mins away in Stow-on-the-wold which is really handy. Lower Slaughter is nothing short of picture perfect. It's incredible - like something from a movie. And the cottage's location is perfect, central enough to walk everywhere in the Slaughters and right beside a craft shop selling ice creams. The property is also really well located for driving to a lot of other really beautiful villages. We would DEFINITELY stay here again if we were to visit the area again. It's a winner!

• "We had a wonderful stay here with the whole family (3 couples)."

  It was really great that there's a bathroom for each bedroom and we all fit comfortably into the kitchen for meals. We even managed to have one meal outside on the little round table in the sunshine. The location is outstanding, we walked everywhere we needed to, especially in the mornings and evenings when there weren't any tourists around. There were plenty of pots and pans for us to cook with and having a big fridge was very helpful. We recommend the walk to Upper Slaughter along the public footpath right by the house through the fields. Thanks for a great stay!
