“The cottage was bright and lovely, and the surroundings beautiful.”

It was very quiet and tranquil. The only issue we had was that I had made a pointed effort to guarantee that we would have either an American king bed (6 feet wide), or twin beds. I contacted Sykes and "chatted" with someone who assured me that we would have a California king, and if anything changed we would be notified ahead of time. We called the host, who was next door, and she sent her daughter over, to whom we explained the situation and gave her a copy of the on-line chat conversation. There was also a lightbulb out in a lamp, and the daughter took the bulb back and said she'd explain everything to her mother. We never heard back about anything. At the very least, I expected the host herself to say she was very sorry, but unfortunately she couldn't do anything about it, etc. Too bad, because it was the only thing that was a disappointment, and it did impact our overall experience, as we both have to be careful about our backs. Sleeping accommodations are one important part of that care. I recommend that Sykes stay in closer touch with the hosts and make very clear the specifications of the offer.

The only disappointment was the fact that the furniture in the lounge wasn’t comfortable and large enough to be able to fully relax it really needs a much larger sofa to accommodate two people comfortably and maybe some outside loungers other than that a lovely cottage

“We loved our time at the Lilac Cottage.”

We were greeted on arrival by a homemade coffee cake and great hosts who explained where the best places to eat were along with how to use the private hot tub etc. The cottage was big, clean and had everything you could need including tea, coffee, milk, sugar etc. We went in the games room to play snooker, table tennis, darts etc and they even have a scalextrics. The location was perfect as it was walking distance to all the amenities including the pubs and shops. Sarah & Peter provided a comprehensive folder of information on the local area, walks, restaurants, takeaways, places to visit and even offered to challenge us to a game of snooker before we left. We will be returning soon.

“The cottage is very clean and in a great spot.”

The distance from beautiful broadway is perfect and the 15 minute stroll is well worth it with lots of quaint shops, pubs and restaurants. A lovely place to spend the New Year.

- Miss Wynne, December 2017
“Fantastic location, facilities, and welcome.”

Home from home. Wonderful hot tub and very comfortable bed. Hope to revisit and for a longer period. Thank you Susan and Peter

- Mr Johnson, September 2017
“The Lilacs was a perfect base for us while we were house hunting in the area.”

The accommodation was very attractively furnished, spotlessly clean, spacious, comfortable, well equipped and peaceful. Reliable wifi was crucial to our stay and worked very well. The owners Sue and Peter were very friendly and helpful. It was a pity that it was a 'working holiday' for us and we were so busy that we didn't get to enjoy the surrounding area as tourists. We'd love to stay again in the future purely for recreation. Would highly recommend this cottage for a stay in the Cotswolds.

- Mrs Harrison, July 2017
“The cottage was located in a perfect relaxing setting with a private garden area and hot tub!”

Ideally placed for exploring the Cotswolds. Peter and Susan were lovely hosts, there was everything we needed and a delicious cake when we arrived. Can't wait to go back. Thank you

- Mrs Morgan, July 2017
“Susan and Peter were lovely and welcoming, there was even delicious, home made banana cake in the fridge upon arrival, and a little jug of milk which was a lovely touch after a long drive.”

The property itself was beautiful and comfortable, the location was great too. Broadway is a gorgeous town with plenty to do and see. Coming back to the hot tub after a long day walking along the Cotswolds Way was a lovely little treat, and there were extra towels, plastic cups and a mat provided to use with the tub - again little touches like this only added to the experience. Would definitely recommend this property, will be back.

- Miss Britton, May 2017
“We had a lovely greeting to the property and it catered for all our needs and more.”

The accommodation was immaculate and would recommend to friends and family :)

- Ms Pearson, April 2017

Broadway is a lovely place to both stay and explore the countryside.
