“The cottage was in a excellent ...”

The cottage was in a excellent location, just 10 minutes walk to the centre of Broadway and a short drive away from many attractions, National Trust properties, Cotswold villages etc. The owners were friendly and relaxed and made us very welcome. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped. We could have done with a bigger fridge and freezer compartment, but given the size of the kitchen area this is probably not feasible, and we managed.

“We received a lovely welcome from ...”

We received a lovely welcome from the owner (including a cake!) and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We all enjoyed using the games room but especially my son and husband who simply loved the snooker table. Everything about The Oaks was just perfect for us and I hope that we can return some time soon.

“We were a family of two adults and ...”

We were a family of two adults and three children. Sue was a lovely host who ensured we were happy and had everything we needed. She baked us a delicious cake on arrival which was very well thoughtful. The house was beautiful and very clean and tidy. It was very close to Broadway and we had a fabulous time.

“We enjoyed a very good week over ...”

We enjoyed a very good week over the Christmas holiday at the Oaks. It is a lovely house in a perfect location, an easy flat 10 minute walk into Broadway. All our visitors were very complimentary about the house. If there was anything I would have found useful it would have been a small fridge size freezer. Having made this comment it didn't stop us enjoying our holiday.

“The Oaks is a lovely, spacious ...”

The Oaks is a lovely, spacious cottage, part of a large house which is divided. Fantastic location just a short walk into Broadway along a private, very quiet road with beautiful houses. Cake on arrival was a very nice gesture and everything was well presented and clean. Only minor quibbles were the charge for firewood, and house was quite cool when we arrived, although it warmed up. Check-in is late. But overall we loved our base in this spacious, peaceful location.

“Very happy with the accommodation, ...”

Very happy with the accommodation, cleanliness and the welcoming from Sue of freshly made cake & milk, tea & coffee. at this time of the year it was quite hard to find in the dark as we were not able to enter the property until 5pm which we found difficult with a toddler & a 2month old baby......the bewitching hour. my only bone of contention was no washer as you can imagine with two babies there was washing every day or two & to have to drive 15minutes to a laundromat was very inconvenient, but we survived and did a lot of hand washing and dried the clothes in from of the heaters. the property is very close to Broadway and surrounding towns of Burton on Water, Moretin in Marsh, The Slaughters, Stowe on Wold which are lovely to visit. I can highly recommend the property.

“Sue , the owner, is a very pleasant ...”

Sue , the owner, is a very pleasant and extremely hardworking lady. She made us very welcome complete with a homemade cake and milk. The Oaks is most comfortable and spotlessly clean. This was our second visit to The Oaks and we saw even more of the Cotswolds. The house is convenient to Broadway yet far enough away to make it quiet, peaceful and relaxing. A lovely part of our wonderful country England, a very enjoyable holiday.

“The owners Peter and Susan were ...”

The owners Peter and Susan were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable yet maintained a cosy warmth. We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with family and this was a perfect location for us to have chosen. A memorable event for all the right reasons!

“We would like to suggest that a ...”

We would like to suggest that a communal washing machine is available for the properties, perhaps in the garage as there are no launderettes in the village and this proved to be inconvenient for us.

“Pictures and a description are all ...”

Pictures and a description are all fine and dandy, but if you 'self cater' it's always a risk when booking as you're never 100% sure what will actually be there on arrival. It also happened to be my partner's 60th, so there was added anxiety connected to this stay. Well....what a wonderful place, in a wonderful part of the country, run by two of the most wonderful people you could ever wish to meet! Sue and Pete made our stay an exceptional one; helped by their mad but totally adorable dogs, Rosie, Teal and Ebony. We walked and cycled our legs off, safe in the knowledge that we had a quiet, comfortable and fun place to return to. Although wiped out with the our activities in the day, the games room beckoned just about every night rediscovering old table tennis moves and a greater understanding of the skills required to play snooker! We were challenged by Pete and Sue to Croquet on their lawn; just lovely on a couple of still summer evenings. The best birthday ever. Want to holiday in the Cotswold's, then don't hesitate - book to stay at The Oaks in Broadway. Enter up a long drive and there will be Sue to welcome you with a yummy home made cake. A stay at The Oaks is truly scrumptious in every way!!!

“Susan met us on our arrival, was ...”

Susan met us on our arrival, was very pleasant and made us feel at home. She had also baked a lovely cake for us, which we really enjoyed! The house was delightful, and felt really homely. Our sons joined us for the weekend to help us celebrate their grandmothers 90th birthday which she really appreciated, and on Saturday night we had a lovely meal at The Swan hotel which is on the Corner of Broadway. The games room, which had Table Tennis and an excellent snooker table which we made great use of. Must apologise to Peter for not having a game with him, maybe next time. Many thanks again to you both and regards from Kay, Ken and the Smith family x

“We were made very welcome by Susan ...”

We were made very welcome by Susan Slatter who left us a delicious home made cake. She was pleasant and helpful whenever our paths crossed during our stay. The house location was quiet and off the beaten track and yet only minutes drive from Broadway village. There were four of us and there was stacks of comfortable room in the lovely house. We were fairly late in booking this holiday and I struggled to find any suitable accommodation for the week we required. I asked one of the ladies at Sykes if she could find a place for me and within hours she came up with four. The Oaks was one of these and proved to be just what we were looking for so thank you very much for your help when I was close to giving up.

“Lovely Home”

we (my husband and 2 girls) only had a short stay at the Oaks Friday to Sunday but my in laws are there for the whole week, but I need to say what a lovely homely house, home made cake, comfy sofas and beds, tea, coffee and milk. Thank you to the family who played table tennis with us and let us play with the puppy's (it tired the pups and my girls out) thank you

“Ideal for a wet weekend in November with friends”

Arriving at The Oaks from various parts of the country, we appreciated the warmth and space It provided in the miserable weather. The owner was extremely helpful and the cake she provided was delicious ( a lovely thought). The beds were extremely comfortable and the whole place was furnished to a high standard. The third bedroom was very small with no room for a wardrobe but that was not too much of a problem for just a weekend. Everywhere was very clean. Our only grouse was regarding the open fire. The information in the house made a request for a £7 daily donation for using the open fire whereas the detail provided when booking gave fuel for the open fire as included in the rental. A bit impertinent , we felt.

“Perfect holiday accommodation”

We are a family of four adults and a baby and we look for specific criteria when we book our holidays: Superking bed for us Ensuite for my daughter and her husband Fast Wifi connection Plenty of room to spread about Safe place to store our bicycles Parking directly outside the cottage Quiet location The Oaks ticked every box........... and more - we had a welcome plate of cupcakes on the table along with fresh milk in the fridge to go with the tea & coffee.! The owners Peter and Sue are lovely - and very helpful. Peter and my husband even went off cycling and shooting together. Sue was very kind and went out of her way to post on to us some items that we left behind - we really appreciated that Sue, thank you again I have already recommended The Oaks and their other properties to friends at work - if you book you will have a super time

“A wonderful family break”

We loved our stay at The Oaks. Owners, Peter and Sue were wonderful hosts who were always available, but never intrusive. The freshly made cupcakes on arrival was a lovely touch. Peter was particularly great with our 2 boys who loved feeding the lambs, exploring the garden and farm and playing in the shared games room. The accommodation was spotless, but homely and relaxing. We will be back - hopefully on an annual basis.

“Perfect home from home”

Week holiday with family - two adults and two children (6 & 3). The setting in the village of Broadway is perfect. Down a quiet private road the Oaks is within easy reach of what Broadway has to offer and centrally located to allow you to explore the Cotswolds. the accomodation is well laid out, with kitchen, dining area and large lounge, and a toilet on the ground floor, with 3 good size bedrooms (1 ensuite) and family bathroom upstairs. All rooms are well kept and very well presented. It makes you feel relaxed. Outside there is a large garden (lots of grass for kids to run around on) with a patio area where you can enjoy a glass of wine or two. The decor was of a very high standard and it is great value for money. The owners (Susan & Peter) live next door and are a lovely couple who helped make the break really special for our girls who were lucky enough to help feed Susan's lambs and help walk Rosie the dog. Add in cuddles with pet rabbit thumper and another friendly labrador Teal and the girls didn't want to leave! There is also a games room in an a converted building outside (table tennis, dart board, pool/snooker table). The owners have also left some games (jenga, card games) as well as DVDs for you to borrow. There is an open fire in the lounge which would be perfect in colder weather (we were lucky and had gorgeous weather). Also there is Wifi throughout the property Don't hesitate in booking this for your holiday in the cotswolds. The owners also have some smaller units if you don't need the 3 bedroom property. We really enjoyed our break in the Cotswolds and would not hesitate to recommend the Oaks as a place to stay.

“Comfortable, warm and friendly home”

Warm and friendly welcome from the owner, who lives next door. Home made cake awaiting for our arrival. The house was exactly what it says on the website. It is 5 min walk to the village centre, you can literally leave your car and just walk everywhere. Make sure you take a good strong torch for the night time, as no lighting on the lane up to house. You can either have two doubles and one twin, or one double and two twins. Very warm home so very cosy at night, with excellent wi-fi coverage. You have to be animal friendly as they have one gorgeous cat, two dogs and a rabbit. My friends and I loved it here, had a wonderful chilled at weekend. Location is spot on for walkers.

“What an amazing place to stay - wonderful.”

"We stayed at The Oaks for a fabulous 12 days - returned on 6th September. We have to say that the accommodation was absolutely first class. Beautifully decorated, clean, tidy and extremely comfortable. Susan and Peter - the owners who live on-site - are wonderful. Really nice people and nothing was too much for them. We had homemade teacake waiting for us in the very large kitchen/dining room as well as tea, coffee and sugar. All linen was supplied and was top quality. Loads of space at the front for parking and recreation plus a beautiful rear garden with large table, padded chairs and parasol. The lounge was massive with really comfortable leather sofas, a huge TV and a great election of DVDs. Situated just 15 minutes from the stunning village of Broadway, at the end of a private road containing very up-market properties, it was absolutely superb for just getting away from it all as well as a perfect base for touring around. We cannot recommend The Oaks high enough (and Susan & Peter of course). It was truly a 5 Star ‘PLUS’ holiday accommodation and we are telling all our friends. We hope to make a return visit in the not-too-distant future. Many thanks again Susan and Peter for the opportunity to relax a unwind. Allan & Hilary Wilson”
