"The cottage was nicely decorated and very comfortable, the kitchen exceptionally well equipped and recommendations for what to do in the area really good."
Baked treats and wine were a nice touch!
Upside down living wasn't an issue, except if you wanted to lie in/nap in the afternoon whilst the rest of your party were in the lounge/kitchen, as the wooden floors are noisy. Bathroom door could also do with some WD40 so as not to wake the whole household up when visiting the bathroom in the middle of the night. An extra toilet roll in each toilet would not have gone amiss either (particularly as the one toilet had less than a 10th of a roll when we got there, which could have been awkward had the rest of our party not arrived the next day enabling us to stock up on Day 2). Bring soap/shower gel.
Directions to the property definitely need to be clearer too, particularly as the narrow lane which one had to drive up had a sign saying 'Road closed ahead' which meant we drove around for 15 minutes trying to find the cottage, which was a little frustrating.
Otherwise we had a lovely stay.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage to be comfortable and well equipped. Thank you also for bringing to our attention some minor issues which we will pass on to the owner, together with your suggestions regarding directions to the property. We would love to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages

"We had several issues with the property resulting in us leaving a day only."
The main issue was the overwhelming smell of damp in the main bedroom. The bedding felt wet and there was a nightly infestation of woodlice which was totally unpleasant. The toilet was filthy as were the tiles in the shower area which were partly mouldy and definitely in need of a good scrub. The description is not accurate. There is no pub within walking distance and no chance of getting a taxi either. The freezer was actually an ice box. The upstairs toilet was also not working properly. The radiator leaked in the downstairs bathroom and the skirting was hanging off in the bathroom. The owner was made aware of these issues but failed to help with them in any way and has ignored our message to her. We lost a days holiday which is valuable to us but we are obviously of no importance to her now she has our well earned cash. She actually lived next door but it must have been too much effort to come across the yard and look at our these issues. Very disappointed

"Very last directions to the Chapel could be made clearer once having passed Lavender’s Bakery."
We did go right up the hill but found the property finally on foot from the Bridal shop!
The chapel has lovely pictures and glass/China ornaments which makes for a very friendly atmosphere. Kitchen is fully equipped lacking nothing for catering needs. Enclosed garden perfect for our dog and next to parking area. We loved our stay.

"A lovely cottage tucked away in a quiet location."
Clean and comfortable. Had some issues with heating but owners were quick to sort the problem out. I think Sykes need to ensure the description is accurate. Advertised as ground floor accommodation should read ground floor bedrooms. This is clarified later in the details. Some difficulty with 91 year old negotiating the stairs!
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback following your stay at Chapel Cottage. We're glad you had a comfortable stay and will ensure that the description is more accurate for future guests regarding the accommodation. We hope this did not have a lasting impact on your stay.

"Chapel Cottage is an absolutely perfect property as a base for visiting this part of the Cotswolds - the location is lovely and private, set in beautiful grounds next to the main house and very clean and well equipped for a self catering break."
Stroud Farmers market is amazing, numerous places to visit including a number of National Trust properties and some great country pubs - we also loved Cirencester and the park there. Our Cockapoo dog loved it, so many nice walks and views especially Haresfield Beacon - overall a great week, thank you also to Hilary the owner for allowing us to stay in your lovely cottage

"What a fantastic location!"
The cottage was cosy and very comfortable. Kitchen very well equipped and the bathroom spacious. Lovely outside space, great garden. We were 4 adults. The second bedroom lacked a mirror on the wall. Plenty everywhere else. When using the outside steps to access the kitchen from the second bedroom in the dark, some adequate outside lighting would be good as this was quite dangerous. Apart from that perfect!

"Chaple cottage is truly a hidden gem."
The cottage has got a character and and a lovely vibe. The upside down nature of the cottage became a major attraction for my 4 year old and she absolutely loved it and made jokes about it being upside down. Could not have asked for for better hosts! Hilary even left freshly baked banana bread and a bottle of wine to welcome us. Such a lovely gesture! Everything about the cottage and the location was perfect. Will highly recommend and will go back my self at some point.

"Where does one start?"
I contacted Hillary prior to our visit for help and suggesstions, my partner and I have not had the best year as we were due to wed late May but wedding due to Covid-19 we could not go forward. Hillary was very responsive and helpful, during my planning stages Hillary suggested a local photographer and lovely Amy to make our wedding cake. We got married earlier in the day in East London and booked the Cotswolds for our Minimoon which actually was our honeymoon, we had the best time. The cutest Chapel Cottage which is a home away from home, everything you would need plus more. Our beautiful cottage gave us the most happiness and we cannot wait to visit again. Such a clean place with the most beautiful views, you will not need to bring anything for the cottage as Hillary provides everything you need and the grounds are the most beautful. The cottage is is in reach of everywhere you would like to visit, we visited Stroud, Sapperton, Frampton Mansell, Stratford upon Avon, Nailsworth, Cirencester, Cheltemham etc visiting the best places to view and eat from following the cottage guidebook.
Upon arrival we had ruffles on the gates and cottage which made our visit so special and personal, leaving our lovely cottage has been so depressing and we miss it so much, my partner and I are very sentimental therefore Chalford has been very special. With such a great host and cottage you will have the best stay, there is nothing I would change, this has been the best experience of 2020! Also, we loved the attention to detail, Hillary has the best eye for China plates, Laura Ashley and John Lewis :) the best discreet cottage we have stayed in.

"What a beautiful place to stay."
Gorgeous cottage in an amazing location. A peaceful setting surrounded by trees and the hoot of owls in the evening. The cottage itself was fantastic, cosy, comfortable and well equipped. Plus an outside area to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine). Lovely friendly owners live close by should you need anything. We will definitely return.

"Lovely week in this quiet and cosy welcoming cottage."
The listing stated no washing machine, but there is one, which is useful. We were lucky to have beautiful September weather. We loved the lively modern decoration, with hot pink and hot orange accents. Everything worked and the cleaning was really thorough in this C19 age of special need. Much help from the owner neighbour available but not intrusive. Nice to see a variety of livestock in the grounds too. The cottages are nestled in lovely wooded hills so all views out v interesting.

"This was a wonderful and fascinating find - a converted late 18th century former 'Swedenborg' (an obscure non-conformist sect) chapel deep in mature woodland, beautifully furnished, scrupulously clean and utterly cosy."
The very helpful owner lived in the nearby large house. We want to return as soon as we can. Say no more.
We are so pleased you loved your time at Chapel Cottage.. it really is the most wonderful cottage in beautiful surroundings. We really look forward to your return.
