"A few comments:
Garden needs a bit of tlc and fences front and back need replacing or mending."
Photo on advert for Well Cottage is not truly representative of the actual condition.
Patio needs cleaning
Problem with shower in front bedroom and shower over the bath was disappointing and note many comments in guest book about this problem.
May by the side door brought more dirt in - needs replacing.
Small bedroom not good with no natural light and did not work for our party.
Vacuum was broken and difficult to use
It’s a beautiful house in great location but it just needs a bit of tlc
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you did not find Well Cottage up to our usual high standards.
The showers have been rectified, with new cartridges installed. The garden does suffer at this time of year with lots of fallen leaves and apples. The gardener attends once a fortnight, the patio area is also cleaned on a regular base.We are replacing the vacuum cleaner. The mat at the side door has also been replaced. We would love to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes Manor Cottages

"We loved our stay here."
The house is lovely and was spotless. It was one of our first holidays with our toddler and having a big, safe garden for her to run around in and being so close to the village (and the ducks) made our stay brilliant. We had plenty of space/bathrooms in the house for a family holiday. I can't recommend this property enough - if you're looking at it book it!!
Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted you and your family enjoyed the stay at the house. The location is a great base to explore the area and you have lots of family friendly places to visit too. We hope to welcome you again soon for another stay. Kind regards Manor Cottages.

The garden was fantastic for our children as was the games which were left and the Xbox, a real family friendly property. Being so close to the centre of Bourton was brilliant, a short stroll down the road and you are there. The kitchen is well stocked and the welcome hamper a lovely touch.

"I 78 yrs old and not as mobile as I was, when I entered the property and saw the stairs I nearly left."
Why was there no photo of the stairs or a warning in the listing - not good for oldies and youngsters.
My second issue is the type of chair at the dining table and around the house such as bedroom - cheap, nasty and so uncomfortable.
For me these two issues ruined my stay at a fantastic house and garden.

"We had a wonderful time staying at Well Cottage."
Its just a 5 minute walk into the village with all its amenities and attractions and only 2 minutes walk to the supermarket.
The cottage itself is very spacious and well equipped. There is a single bedroom which you walk through to get to one of the double rooms, with an ensuite, which proved ideal for our baby with parents next door. Then there are 2 further double rooms, one with a lovely ensuite the other with use of a separate bathroom. All the double rooms were set up with super king size beds ( I.e. none as a twin as in the photos) this suited us fine but I think you'd need to make it clear if you needed twin rooms. The beds were comfy and the showers and baths powerful. With 2 lounges it meant the generations could do their own thing. The garden is large and fully enclosed, our dog loved playing catch before heading out on a walk.
Also included in the cottage were thoughtful touches. A selection of goodies in the fridge, plus tea and coffee. Hand towels in all the bathrooms and tea towels. There's a tap and short hose pipe outside for washing the dog and muddy boots.
Would highly recommend. Probably the best holiday cottage we've ever stayed in!
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback, we are so pleased that you, your family and your furry friend enjoyed your stay so much. We would love to welcome you all back again very soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages.

"Absolutely fabulous cottage to book."
Everything you need for a good holiday, a real home from home. Walking distance from the village which has a good Indian and Fish and Chip restaurant if you don't fancy cooking. A huge garden for our dog but also great for children if you took them. Also friendly neighbours who we met one morning.
Six of us plus a well behaved beagle stayed for a week and it was great. A good location to see all of the Cotswold - close to Glouscester to visit the Cathedral. Fabulous shopping in Cirencester - lots of little boutique shops if you like a bit of shopping.
I would highly recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted that you all and your dog enjoyed your stay and made excellent use of the central location for all your trips out. We hope we can welcome you back again.

"Wonderful cottage and this was our second visit."
I was so impressed that you had added long mirrors in each bedroom after my comment last year.
A couple more dishwasher tablets and some washing powder would have been very helpful.
Wonderfully comfortable beds.
Very sad to see the huge rise in price for next November - I was about to re-book until I saw the increase.
Thank you so much for the great feedback and score, it’s really appreciated. It’s so great to hear of returning guests, there have been quite a few this year which is really nice to see. Yes the long mirrors are a great addition, many thanks for the suggestion. Manor cottages have said ‘With regards to the dishwasher tablets, this should have been provided in the welcome pack, but we don't currently provide washing powder, due some guests having sensitive skin.’ In terms of price rise the prices have gone up for next year but this was an amount stated by all as reasonable and in line with general increases for holiday lets. Unfortunately like everything the costs of operating the cottage have gone up. However really pleased to see that you have now decided to rebook for next year and you will very, very welcome at the cottage again. We hope you and your family have many more happy holidays.

"We absolutely loved the accommodation, it was perfect for us all."
Really lovely back garden with storage for our bikes which we used a lot whilst there. We had the bathroom with the roll top bath and having not had a bath for several years due to removing and installing a shower it was a lovely end to busy days running, cycling and walking.
Perfect location to get everywhere we wanted to including Clarksons Farm - a 26 mile cycle ride with a pint of Hawkstones cider at the farm.
Would highly recommend the cottage and the beautiful area. Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. The 100/100 score and the great feedback makes that even better. With all the work that goes in getting such feedback really does means a lot. Great to hear you enjoyed the roll top bath, having two baths across the three bathrooms is real plus for the cottage and yes hopefully helps people after a day of exertion. Making the bike ride to Diddly Squat is a great achievement. Clarkson certainly generates a ‘marmite’ reaction in people but he has now bought the Hawkstone brewery which is about a 10 min walk from the cottage. They have now put in a bar and started doing live music and other events. The larger (and cider) brewed there is certainly a very good drink and available in many of the local pubs as well as the brewery. Thank you so much for the recommendation. Hope you and your family enjoy many more great breaks and if you ever make it back to well cottage you will be very welcome. Thanks again.

"Lovely House nice and spacious loved the decor top notch very comfortable stay the garden was beautiful ideal for our little dog to run around safely."
The only thing we would of liked more wardrobe space for sure there was not enough hangers in the rooms (hence went and got our own) we thought there was enough space for a small wardrobe in all the rooms to be fair.....liked your idea of hanging stuff on the rustic black pipe look but would say a wardrobe would benefit more..... perfect location for our stay. The property was very clean on arrival....but when we left and did our clean we could see that the single chair in the lounge had not been pulled out possibly by last people or not been hoovered behind was quite dusty maybe your cleaners should pull the furniture out when they go in on a change over day??? The large lounge curtains in back was coming unclipped so a couple of times I did re-up them back quite fidely to do the one on end of curtain seemed like it was broken clip wise was hanging down when we arrived but didn't look very nice....maybe an upgrade curtain wise to match smaller lounge and curtain pole would benefit this room now.....these are our personal feedback the house is absolutely lovely just a couple of minor things let it down. But would definitely stay again every thing was to our taste. The weather was fine on arrival but gradually got worse rain wise.... typical but we still enjoyed our stay we thought the house was lovely and up there with top marks on other properties we have stayed in for sure ....
Thanks so much for the great review and for the great score, it really is appreciated. ‘Top notch’, “beautiful” and “very clean” are great to hear. Thanks for the comments. The curtains is great feedback, sometimes you just don’t spot these things, new poles and curtains are on the way and will be fitted soon. The rustic pipes for hanging clothes seemed to work well but a few people have mentioned wardrobes so measurements have been taken and again will be on the way. Manor cottages (who mange everything on the property including cleaning, changeovers etc) have picked up on the feedback of the chair, feedback has been good on the housekeeping so sure they will sort. Sorry the weather got worse, not so much can do on that one afraid! Thanks again for the feedback, hope you do get to return, please keep on enjoying the Cotswolds and hope you have many more happy holidays.

I know you’ve put signs round the house to warn of the hot temps but it really didn’t make for comfortable washing all week (showers were either cold or boiling) and with a 5 year old child, was quite dangerous, we had to be very careful. Other than that it was a very lovely property, very clean, comfortable and well appointed, we had a wonderful week.

just a very minor point, I’m guessing the toilets are set to use less water but very often they require two flushes and that actually uses more water.
Very clean and tidy on arrival with everything catered for, it really is home from home,
A hot tub would be the icing on the cake but I fully understand that they are expensive to run and maintain.
I’m sure we will return again as it is such a flexible welcoming property well positioned in such a beautiful Cotswold village.

Would have liked a butter dish, a lemon squeezer and some containers for leftovers. More importantly a black out blind in the master bedroom would have been welcome. That room faces the street and the street lamps stay on all night. I had to rig up my own black out blind but it was not ideal.
More mugs too please. We had to keep putting on the dishwasher just for the mugs which was not ideal. More bowls too please.
All in all though a fabulous week with ages ranging from 1 - 93. Great to have a bathroom each and the downstairs layout worked well with rooms being able to be shut off to prevent toddler escape. An easy walk in the village so location is great.
Thank you so much for the great review and the great scores, it is very much appreciated. Thanks also for the feedback, the following are on the way to the house – butter dish, lemon squeezer and some containers for leftovers. Bowls and mugs sound like they occasionally take a tumble and will be restocked as well. On the front bedroom it’s the first time have had that feedback but of course we will look to resolve, will see what type of blind can fit into the window, they are the old stone frames but we will work something out. Much appreciated to you for highlighting. Amazing to hear of the 1-93 age range, sounds like multiple generations having a lot of fun. Glad you liked the layout, the aim was to have two separate living rooms where if necessary could split up a little and relax with different TV, chat, games. Xbox etc, with the larger living room also being big enough for everyone to be together. Then the separate dinning area where can all come together for meals, games etc. as well as the seating in the kitchen for ad-hoc breakfasts. Glad that also transferred into creating a good space for the little one. Glad you found the walk easy and hope you enjoyed all that Bourton on the water has to offer, it also does seem to cater through the generations from lots for children to do, good pubs and restaurants, adventures, beautiful walks and some great places for taking in the world with tea and cake.

We were a little confused about the household rubbish as the instructions inside the property didn't match up with the bin located in the back garden. All linens and towels were provided, an idea to add several coloured towels to the downstairs toilet, utility and kitchen could be an added bonus for when people are washing their hands and stand out from the white provided towels.
In summary, this house was a little gem and my family and I thoroughly enjoyed some quality family time in a beautiful location. We would recommend this property and would visit again.

Loved the facilities,food left and so close to the village with a lovely choice of retuarants and pubs close by. Used the bus service into Stowe and Morton which stops outside the cottage. Will be back again with family. Many thanks
Thank you, what an amazing comment ‘felt like coming home’. Its brilliant to hear you made a return trip and thanks for the 100/100 score. The multiple restaurants and pubs are great in Bourton with some of the established ones now being added to with the wellington now being open as well as the new bar behind the dial house. There is at least one more on the way with the building next to the motor museum being converted into a restaurant/pub. The new menu at the mousetrap is also great. The walk to the lower slaughter’s is a great stroll and the inn there is great. The bus is great and even allows dogs! A wonder round Stowe after an easy bus ride is a great day out. You will be very, very welcome on your return, its great to hear of your family enjoying the cottage so much. Just to say thanks again, it means a lot and is appreciated.

"We were very impressed on arrival of the cleanliness of the cottage."
There were five of us and a toddler and a toddler. Plenty of space for us all . The goodies in the fridge on arrival were most welcome. We loved the garden plenty of space for the little one to play safely. So close to the centre of the village so the cars were not used much.
We had the most special time and some special memories were made. On arrival the bin was missing but a phone call solved the mystery . The case of the missing bin.
Thanks Well Cottage we will definitely return one day.
Many thanks for your great review and the great score. Its really nice to hear of your family having such a nice break in well cottage. The garden is great, there are not to many houses in Bourton on the water with sizable gardens and its great to have the space and the gates etc for kids to play and run around, it’s what holidays are about. If the kids are happy normally it’s a happy holiday! To hear you made ‘special memories’ is really nice. Its easy to see holiday homes as focused on the rental charges but actually there is something really special about people having such a ‘special time’. As for the case of the missing bin then scenes from ‘Die Another Day’ where filmed in Bourton on the water so perhaps James Bond could have helped out. Or ‘Brum’ is in the motor museum in Bourton in the water and he liked a mystery to be solved. Sounds like manor cottages solved it though and they were not needed. Thanks again, your review means a lot and is genuinely appreciated.

"Super cottage which I have booked again for next year!"
Only niggles are - no full length mirrors and I don’t think we should have to be stripping our beds when we leave. Also, the 6pm arrival time is too late. All other holiday cottage companies have a 4pm check in.
Otherwise everything was perfect.
We are so delighted that you have booked again, its brilliant to hear you had such a good time. It looks as though five guests from this year have already rebooked which is amazing. Thank you also for the great scores, it really means a lot. Manor cottages fully manage the property and have kindly made some changes and check in is now 4pm and also the request to strip the beds has been removed, all that will now be taken care of. Hopefully will make your return visit as or if not more enjoyable. Also, the cottage now has three full-length mirrors. Should be easier to get ready for a nice meal down at the rose tree or the manor house at lower slaughter or maybe to check out the new cycling gear before taking on the Burford loop. Whatever it is we hope you and your family have a great time when you return, your support means a lot. You will be very welcome.

"I think it’s been mentioned before but, due to the new boiler, the hot water is extremely hot which makes it very difficult to adjust the temperature in the showers."
The Wi-Fi wasn’t working on arrival but this was rectified early next morning by the maintenance team, thank you.
Firstly, thank you for the 100/100, it means a lot to see such a score. Apologies on the hot water, after changing the boiler so there were no issues for the winter and being sure it was the new boiler causing the hot water it was actually the ‘motorised valve’ that needed replacement. You would need a plumber to tell us all what that is, but the result is the water is no longer as hot. Glad the Wi-Fi got sorted quickly, it has seemed reliable and is a high-speed connection. We hope you had a great holiday and enjoyed all the amenities of the beautiful Bourton on the water.

"Fantastic property."
Decorated to a high standard, extremely comfortable, beautifully spacious rooms, well stocked with everything we needed for our stay, perfectly located in the village, and an ideal base for exploring the Cotswolds. We were extremely impressed by the property - it was exactly as presented on the website. The flexibility with the bed configuration in each room was an inspired idea - even when both beds were together it made for a lovely, roomy sleep. The property was lovely and warm. The hot water was a bit too hot and took a bit of getting used to when running the tap and shower - you maybe want to get it checked out. The welcome goodies and milk was very kind. I reached out to the contact in advance of arriving, to confirm the bed configurations for each room, and received a prompt and welcoming response. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We hope to return very soon!!
Thank you so much for your review and your 100/100 score. We are delighted to hear you had such a good break. So pleased you found the house so comfortable and well stocked. It's great to be able to walk so easily to the many great locations in Bourton on the Water. To hear it matches the web site so well is perfect, that’s been the aim and then to maintain it at that standard. The beds are from a company that provide good Hotels and seem to work really well. The boiler is new and has only just recently been installed, we wanted to avoid any issues as winter approaches. The company who completed the install have been back, looked at it and also changed the control. Thank you again, we hope you and your family have many more happy holidays. If you return to Well cottage you will be very, very welcome.

"We very much enjoyed our stay in this well appointed and tastefully decorated cottage with all the comforts of home and a very well equipped kitchen."
It is very well located for easy access to all the attractions in Bourton on the Water and the surrounding Costswolds.
There are, however, a couple of things we would like to point out which were not as described in the welcome pack.
1. There was no dustpan and brush or broom.
2. The wi fi code on the laminated signs is incorrect. The correct code can only be found on a small sticker in the front of the welcome pack.
3. Lastly and probably the most irritating and worrying thing we would like to draw attention to is the dog faeces found on the garden path, which we felt obliged to remove (photographic evidence of which can be provided).
Whilst there is a reminder in the cottage for dog owners to be vigilant, we feel a thorough check of the garden should be made by cleaning staff after each let.
Many thanks for your feedback and your great scores, it is very much appreciated. We are so pleased that you found the house so comfortable, well equipped and that you found the location so easy. Its great to hear of people enjoying the cottage so much and enjoying their holidays. Thanks for the feedback points. The points have been discussed with Manor cottages who fully manage the property and whole process. On the inventory there was previously a dustpan and brush and a broom so maybe they have been stored incorrectly on change over with other cleaning products or have been removed, its being checked and new ones will be on the way as needed. The wifi codes will be sorted, it has high speed internet and we think the code was changed but not updated everywhere. The garden has been discussed with the housekeepers from manor cottages and they offer their apologies, the garden is checked but obviously this was missed. They confirmed they have updated processes accordingly. Thanks again and we are so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday and the Cotswolds.

"The house was fabulous!"
It looks just like the photos. The beds were comfy with plenty of pillows, white cotton sheets and duvet. The fans in the bedrooms were much appreciated as it was quite warm a couple of days during our visit. There was plenty of space and a nicely equipped kitchen. It was wonderful to be only a five minute walk to the center of Bourton-on-the-Water but not have to fight through the congestion of the town and being able to park in our own driveway. Having a Co-op around the corner was an added bonus.
We cannot wait to go back!

On arrival we were impressed with the cleanliness, beautiful garden and comfort. The little welcome bits were a lovely surprise. We found the beds really comfortable, all rooms spacious and had everything we needed for 3 generations and a dog. The large co-op is so close which came in handy for last minute meal plans. The road was quiet and a nice stroll into the high street where we made the most of the ducks on the river, tea shops, motor museum, bird land and dragonfly maze. My children didn’t want to come home, we plan to visit Well cottage again in the near future.

Great that you found the beds really comfortable and enjoyed the house so much. We hope ‘Brum’ at the motoring museum brought back memories for yourself as well for the kids. The dragonfly maze is certainly not as easy as you may think! Paddling in the river with the ducks around certainly is fun. The children not wanting to come home is a testament to the area and the fun that can be had, we are so pleased that they enjoyed themselves. We hope you return and that you get to enjoy the house and area again. Thanks again for the review.

"The cottage is beautiful and so well located."
We had a great stay and enjoyed trying the local restaurants, which were all great. We loved wandering around Bourton and spending time in the cottage as a family. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the cottage was disappointing when we arrived. Rubbish left by previous occupants was still visible on floors and under sofas (easily seen when walking into the room - we didn’t go looking for it!) The clean bedding was badly marked on one of the pillowcases and earphones were left by previous occupants by the bedside cabinet in one of the bedrooms - all of which should have been spotted when cleaning. We felt that the 6.00pm check in was very late, so would have expected that in the current climate a deep clean would have taken place, but this clearly wasn’t the case. Only two dishwasher tablets were left for a family of four on a five night stay! Overall we had a great stay and enjoyed our time at the cottage, which was very comfortable and plenty big enough for our family. However for the money we spent we would have expected a higher level of cleanliness.
Many thanks for your great comments in relation to the cottage and its location, thanks for saying it is beautiful, it is so appreciated. It’s great to have everything so near and handy and being able to so easily walk rather than driving. Yes the local restaurant standard is really good with a mix of quality restaurants for a special meal, good family locations and even a pub and curry house combined! We are so pleased you enjoyed spending time in the cottage as a family. In terms of your issues we can only apologise. The house is fully managed by Manor cottages including the reservation and housekeeping process. That is to try and maintain really high standards and they have been good. However they have accepted that at Christmas they had some staffing and process issues but Covid and the impact on staffing does not excuse the issues when you are trying to fully enjoy your holiday. They have instigated a complete deep clean of the property and are adding additional checks. We pass on their apologies as well as ours.

"The property was big enough for our party of six."
Unfortunately there was not enough cutlery, and no teapot. The fridge was a nightmare as things kept dropping out when the door was open. This was the items put into the actual door compartment i.e. the milk cartons and juice cartons. Necessitating two massive clean ups plus having to pull out the fridge to mop up the spilt milk. The children’s rooms had cobwebs in the window. This all sound negative, but the property was in an ideal location the garden was fab and the barbecue was used by us even in the dark. The off road parking was also great.
Firstly thanks for the comments in relation to the location, its always nice to be able to walk to a range of shops, pubs and restaurants. The image of barbecuing in the dark is a great one and the brick built barbecue on the patio seems to be working well. The garden being the size it is seems to keep children entertained. Parking is pretty hard to come by so its nice to be able to park several cars and ideally leave them alone for a lot of the holiday and enjoy the walks. More cutlery is on the way as well as a teapot. The cobwebs have been flagged to housekeeping and the fridge will be looked at to see what can be done, apologies you had to clean up.

"House itself was lovely, as was location."
Couldn’t fault in most respects.
However, despite requesting the third bedroom to be made up as super king instead of twin, as the listing advised that you could, and confirming again that this was what we wanted, we arrived to find twin beds. I’m not sure if this was a lack of communication from Sykes to the housekeeper, or the housekeeper ignoring it or being unable to do it for some reason, but either way, it spoilt the start of our holiday. I was a little disappointed by this, having paid £1700 for an out of school holiday break, and not getting what you asked for.
