Lovely cottage however

Lovely cottage however Poor cleanliness in bathroom (long hairs) and some kitchen items dirty had to wash before use Manure put on flower bed under bedroom window preventing this being opened at night, I understand this is in the county side but not nice half way through our stay

“Ideally located cottage for a visit to the Cotswolds.”

We visited Oxford, Gloucester, Cirencester, Burford all within easy driving distance. Cottage is located in the beautiful village of Bibury with a lovely pub just 50 yards away serving excellent meals. Cottage has TVs in both lounge and bedroom, with excellent selection of music on I pod in lounge All made for a very comfortable stay. Parking for one car directly outside on private driveway for convenient unloading of luggage.

“There was nothing wrong with the cottage, that was very comfortable, cosy and well equiped.”

But what was a disappointment is that there was no garden. The 'shared gravelled garden area with furniture' was in fact a parking place with a picnic table in a corner. There was no parasol and it was very hot, there were no garden chairs. We only could sit there in the evening, when the sun had gone. Another point is that in the description it is mentioned that the village shop is 500 m. away. That is true, but, they only sold bread, milk, cheese and eggs. For vegetables and fruit and other things we had to go to Cirencester. Probably no problem at all when you come by car, but having to go by bus.. So don't go there without a car!

“Having rung Sykes’s the week before our trip to request bed linen for the bed settee as our son was able to join us for 2 nights and to ask if the bed settee had been replaced as previous reviewers had mentioned it was uncomfortable to sit on and sleep on, I was assured by a young man that as there had been no recent complaints about the settee the owners had replaced it.”

I don’t think so having sat on it! The additional bed linen was not provided and I rang to chase up this request whilst we were in the Cotswolds. I was informed by Stacie that they were having problems of getting hold of the owner and housekeeping. This was not resolved and no additional bed linen was provided despite the cottage description says the cottage sleeps 4. Apart from this false description we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others. There is no mobile telephone signal in the area which makes life awkward to contact Sykes but fortunately the WiFi was good in the cottage for email. Surely clean bed linen should be left with the duvet inside the settee or in the airing cupboard. There were no pillows for the bed settee either.

“Great well equiped ground floor cottage with off road parking.”

Cake, Tea , Coffee & Milk on arrival were very much appreciated. Easy key pick up made arrival easy. Did not have to arrive at set time. Would defiantly book again if in the area.

“Being greeted by a lovely cake in the fridge and a fan because of the heat was great!”

The cottage is lovely in a great location to explore the gorgeous Cotswold!! I only recommend a slightly better way of explaining the recycling of the rubbish. I could not find the plasticpoint as mentioned in the leaflet. I met the caretaker on leave and she took them of me so that was great. I only say this because the recycling in UK is much more extensive than I am used to and I find it important enough to comply.

“Bibury and the Cotswolds is a beautiful place to take a break.”

The accommodation was fine clean and well presented, pity there was nowhere private to sit outside ( our fault we should have checked ) Also had to spend about twenty minutes to properly empty the vacuum cleaner in order to use it. All in all we had a lovely holiday , good accommodation, beautiful area,fantastic weather. Many thanks to all.

“Cottage was comfortable enough and shower was excellent with plenty of hot water.”

Downside was that the towels were not changed and there was no way of drying them except in the living/dining area. Also having no outside space was awkward, especially as all the front doors opened straight into the car parking area so privacy was not great. There was one garden bench in the "car park" which we used in the good weather, but we were not sure whether we were really allowed to. All in all the cottage was good as a base and to sleep in but I would not be returning.

“Tillows Cottage is in a great location and very well maintained.”

Parking is very good. Couple of small niggles including: 1) the bed is quite low to the ground so getting in/out for someone with back problems might be an issue. 2) the sofa/bed is extremely poor as both a sofa and bed. Very hard to sleep on and as its so wide it is not comfortable as a sofa. The guest book has a number of entries about the bed but guess it has been addressed yet. Apart from that the kitchen is great and fully equipped including dishwasher, bathroom is fine and living room has good equipment including WIFI. The local pub/restaurant serves very good meals at a reasonable price which compared to other eateries in the cotswolds is refreshing. Bibury is very picturesque and does draw a lot of foriegn tourists.

About the location

BIBURY

Burford 9 miles; Bourton-on-the-Water 10 miles.

William Morris called Bibury ‘the most beautiful village in England” and today it is world famous as a village which best epitomises the English rural scene.

At its centre is an outstanding Saxon church.

So important is the village architecturally that the National Trust is closely involved in its preservation - Arlington Row, a row of weavers cottages was restored by the Trust in the 1970s and its distinctive roofline and gables are one of the most photographed scenes in the Cotswolds.

The village has a selection of shops, pubs and tea rooms and a wider range of amenities are available in the nearby market town of Burford “Gateway to the Cotswolds”. .
