Just as if the owners had left and we moved in. Plenty of games to play, we used the hot tub, the croquet and other garden games. Kitchen a bit small if cooking etc for a large family, the two sitting rooms were very useful. The Piano was used but slightly out of tune but fun anyway. The long dining table in the kitchen area was a great boon, we ate every meal there. The weather was so good that the TV's were hardly used. I said I would not book again , not because anything was wrong but I am 72 and my prosthetic leg was playing up, it was a big family get together for my wife's 70th birthday so the old man had to put up with it. Parking for 4 cars was a bonus.

Mr Kiedish July 2016

“A great home for a family get-together with lots of space for everyone.”

We had one child quietly reading in one room, with others playing next door and adults having a chat in another room - the recipe for a great holiday! It was good to be able to stroll to the pool, playground or cinema (all were put to good use during our week). But the best thing was that all of us, young and old, had a relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable week.

Mr Cochrane July 2016

“Chipping house is very practical, especially for large families and is in a great location to explore the Cotswolds, South Wales and south west England.”

The owner was extremely helpful pre-stay and the house is well equipped. We had a fabulous week there and highly recommend it.

- Mr Cochrane, July 2016
Mrs Wilson March 2016

“The house was so comfortable, spacious and airy.”

The kitchen was so well equipped with so much cutlery and crockery. We felt so relaxed in the property. Its situation was excellent and we felt we could all move happily to Wotton-under-Edge! Thank you for helping our family enjoy such a wonderful celebration.

- Mrs Wilson, March 2016
Mrs O'Brien January 2016

“The House was easy to find and perfectly located so that once cars were parked on arrival, everything was so accessible that cars were not used throughout our stay; walks from the House are extensive.”

The House itself is absolutely beautiful; warm and cosy, and the atmosphere so relaxing. The beds were comfortable and the bedding good quality, the towels were soft and the hot water plentiful, the bathrooms were warm. The House was so well maintained. The hot tub was an added bonus, with mood lighting and twinkling lights as darkness falls. We were a group of 9 friends and each of us agreed we would return. It was perfect in every way.

- Mrs O'Brien, January 2016
Mr Pryse August 2015

“The house was comfortable, spotlessly clean with ample information on both the house and places to visit.”

It would be hard to think of a better location, we could just to walk into the town centre for a meal and it was unexpectedly quiet for such a central situation.

- Mr Pryse, August 2015
Mr Thompson July 2015

“A lovely house - felt like a home rather than a rental cottage.”

Very well equipped kitchen - particularly as we usually cater for ourselves.

- Mr Thompson, July 2015
Mrs Fisher May 2015

“It was very suitable for 3 generations to "mix & mingle.”

" There were plenty of comfy seats and room for the children to play outside and in.

- Mrs Fisher, May 2015
Mrs Speake May 2015

“The accommodation exceeded our expectations.”

My family had an amazing time, the house was so amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone, we didn't want to leave! Many thanks for a fab week!

- Mrs Speake, May 2015
Mr Beach February 2015

“Very comfortable, immaculately clean and very detailed useful information on locality and amenities given by the owner.”

Will certainly go again.

- Mr Beach, February 2015
Mrs Fuller December 2014

“We rented Chipping House for a very special Christmas celebration as 4 generations from all over the UK , America and Australia were together.”

We were not disappointed. The house has a very family friendly feel to it. We had 14 people staying most of the time and we never felt on top of one another. There are plenty of rooms and space. Location was excellent - plenty of pubs, café and convenience stores on hand without driving. There was a supply of basics such as salt/pepper, cling film, products etc which was nice as some places we have rented in the past had nothing. The owners gave a thorough guide to the home before we arrived and there was certainly plenty of information on hand at the house. Everything about our stay was perfect for a family Christmas - the cosy feel on arrival, the real Christmas tree and the endless supply of logs for the log burner. We have all come away with many happy memories.

- Mrs Fuller, December 2014
Mrs Drew December 2014

“A comfortable, warming house that, as a large family, we can all get together and enjoy our time.”

- Mrs Drew, December 2014
Mr Downs September 2014

“Very scenic walking country with or without driving from the house.”

Comfortable accommodation in a very interesting house with sufficient parking, full facilities and a private garden. Very quiet location despite being in town.

- Mr Downs, September 2014
Mrs Cunningham May 2014

“The place was very welcoming.”

Felt like a home. Wonderful space in the property and a great garden for little ones to play in. We had a wonderful stay.

- Mrs Cunningham, May 2014
Mr Standing April 2014

“Very well stocked house in a great location.”

Enjoyed several walks right from the door step, no need to drive. Enjoyed visits to Gloucester, Bath, Tetbury and a day at Chepstow races.

- Mr Standing, April 2014
Mrs Spencer December 2013

“Chipping House was in a lovely part of the country, and we all had a great time there.”

I would recommend this property.

- Mrs Spencer, December 2013
Mr Forward October 2013

“Very comfortable accommodation with plenty of space for a family group.”

All equipment worked well, and there was adequate provision of essentials. The central situation within easy walking distance of shops, cafes, pubs etc was ideal. Altogether a thoroughly enjoyable week in a very attractive area, and we can certainly recommend the accommodation which fully justifies its four-star rating.

- Mr Forward, October 2013
Mr Lye July 2013

“Spacious property fully equipped with everything you could want, well located for trips out; a superb holiday home!”

- Mr Lye, July 2013
Mr Batchelor May 2013

“There was plenty of space and lots of things for children to play with.”

The house was well situated for the shops, public houses, coffee shops etc.

- Mr Batchelor, May 2013
Mrs Russell May 2013

“The house was very comfortable and the position in the town was very convenient for all our needs, we felt very welcome and at home.”

- Mrs Russell, May 2013
Mr Spanton April 2013

“This was the best family holiday we have had in recent years.”

There was everything for the children, indoors and out and this was hugely responsible for the success of the stay. There were also amazing facilities for the older ones. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds very comfortable. It felt like a home, which of course it is.

- Mr Spanton, April 2013
Mr Fletcher December 2012

“The property was beautiful but not intimidating - we all agreed that we felt at home straight away.”

It didn't feel like a rented property and there were some lovely personal touches, Christmas decorations, plenty of logs for the woodburners, bottles of ketchup, maps etc! We loved the little town, everyone was particularly friendly and helpful and the many walks from the door across the decidedly waterlogged fields were really enjoyable. A perfect holiday!

- Mr Fletcher, December 2012
Mrs Massey December 2012

“The house was warm and extremely comfortable.”

It's a great location for exploring the Cotswolds. We left with some very happy memories from our early Christmas celebration.

- Mrs Massey, December 2012
Mr Mallagh August 2012

“Such a lovely, homely home.”

Felt very comfortable and the owners were extremely helpful in every aspect. We would highly recommend this property.

- Mr Mallagh, August 2012
Mrs Phipps July 2012

“Perfect for an all ages family get together.”

Very good location and the house offered simply everything needed no matter the weather. We must also mention the lovely garden.

- Mrs Phipps, July 2012
Mrs Prettyjohns May 2012

“We enjoyed having two sitting rooms.”

One with a TV and one without so people had a choice - watching TV or chatting and listening to music. We also liked that the house was in the village so near to places to eat and to buy provisions.

- Mrs Prettyjohns, May 2012
Mrs Hayter April 2012

“There was plenty of information regarding the house and surrounding area.”

Lots of things to do in the house if the weather was bad - puzzles, books, games, a big TV. Not forgetting the lovely wood burning stoves, which kept us all cosy, what a treat! Chipping House has the feel of a family home, really welcoming and good parking too. Really lovely home, we had a super weekend.

- Mrs Hayter, April 2012
Mrs Fripp April 2012

“Ideal location for the Cotswold Way.”

Very well equipped property. Ideal location.

- Mrs Fripp, April 2012
Mrs Riley March 2012

“A great space for 3 generations to enjoy time together whilst having 'quiet time' in our own rooms if required.”

- Mrs Riley, March 2012
Mr Hall January 2012

“Perfect for our family celebration.”

Plenty of toys, games and dressing up clothes for the grandchildren. Good location for the town and sightseeing.

- Mr Hall, January 2012
Mrs Garner November 2011

“We were a party of ten adults and 2 young children.”

We agreed that we could not fault Chipping House. The location, the accommodation, the provision of kitchenware, glassware etc, were excellent. The children (and adults) made great use of the 'playroom' with all the games and toys they found there. The added touches of hair driers in rooms, clear instructions and directions for use of facilities all made Chipping House an ideal destination for our gathering. The owner was most welcoming and accommodating of the needs of our party. We would not hesitate to recommend it to friends.

- Mrs Garner, November 2011
Mr Rudge September 2011

“Excellent property in a lovely village.”

Had great meals in the Swan, Star and Royal Oak. Would definitely recommend this property and we will be happy to use Sykes Cottages again.

- Mr Rudge, September 2011
Mrs Blower August 2011

“Although it is a large house it has a very homely feel, and we particularly loved the 'children's lounge' with the books, jigsaw puzzles and games, which were made very good use of!”

The piano in the adult lounge was much enjoyed also, and we had lots of fun singing from the 'songs from the 70s' book! The Emperor bedroom is beautiful!

- Mrs Blower, August 2011
Mrs Brown May 2011

“The house was very grand in size but homely.”

There were welcoming tea, coffee, milk and flowers. The house was central to the town. The facilities were brilliant, everything was thought of for young and old alike. The kitchen was better equipped than mine! Thoroughly recommend Chipping House for large families and 'get togethers'.

- Mrs Brown, May 2011
Miss Bowden March 2011

“Location is right in town.”

Lovely countryside just outside the town. Property is spacious, clean and with the right amount of bathrooms for a big group. Lots of crockery etc and the fittings are of a high standard.

- Miss Bowden, March 2011
Mrs Cochrane December 2010

“The house was lovely and perfect for our needs, spacious and comfortable, with good-quality furnishings and a friendly welcome from the 'literature', and a helpful response from the owner & housekeeper.”

It was very well equipped for all ages and it really felt like a 'home' for the weekend we were there. We loved the fact that it was so near the town centre so we could just wander round the shops, and there are some really nice short walks. The pre-Christmas weekend was a great success with all members of the family and we're already thinking of coming back next year!

- Mrs Cochrane, December 2010
Mr Hooper December 2010

“This house was perfect for the family gathering that we had.”

In all, two grandparents, two adult couples, three teenagers and a young lady of 8. This meant the diversity of the property was spot on. The general quality of accommodation was excellent and the owner was very helpful. Being set in the town itself only added to the whole ambience and convenience. It is very difficult to fault much about a large house in a perfect location for our needs. Thank you.

- Mr Hooper, December 2010
Mrs Smith November 2010

“Great place to stay - everything was superb!”

- Mrs Smith, November 2010
Mrs Johnson November 2010

“The house was so welcoming and there was everything we needed.”

The village was brilliant and we had a great time in the pubs and a meal at the local hotel. The surrounding area was beautiful and we had an excellent walk around the Cotswold trail.

- Mrs Johnson, November 2010
Mrs Stinchcombe September 2010

“This is a lovely home and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

It is extremely well equipped. The people in the small town were very friendly and helpful. We only stayed a week ... we would have loved to stay much longer.

- Mrs Stinchcombe, September 2010
Mrs Mason August 2010

“Lovely large house for family gathering.”

The furnishings were child friendly, which was ideal. Lovely enclosed garden, unfortunately lots of rain so not used too much!

- Mrs Mason, August 2010
Mrs Graves June 2010

“We thought Chippping House had a wonderful atmosphere.”

We had a fantastic family gathering of our children and grandchildren from around the world and everyone felt at home as soon as we walked in. We were overwhelmed by the calibre of the toys - something for everyone - sandpit, slide, paddling pool and a lovely dolls house. All the cooks in the family loved the kitchen, much better equipped than most rented ones we have used. We were a bit unsure of booking somewhere in a town, but actually it was ideal for a gathering such as ours. The owner could not have been more helpful. And then God sent the sunshine - life does not get much better. The children wanted us to buy the house!!

- Mrs Graves, June 2010
Ms Cutler May 2010

“Really well appointed.”

great for our toddler - loved the sand pit, slide and sunny garden. Great having the cinema and swimming pool close by.
