Mr Dunkley
July 2019

“Cottage exceeded our expectations.”

Finished to a high standard. Very comfortable. Lovely location if you are exploring the area. We were staying for the air tattoo so not really there for touring.

Finished to a high standard. Very comfortable. Lovely location if you are exploring the area. We were staying for the air tattoo so not really there for touring. Could possibly do with some spare tableware and cutlery as only four of each supplied maybe at least one extra set of everything. Speed bumps are very high and even at a crawl you scrape underside of car. Trick is to go over them at an angle.

Prof Blunt July 2019

“This is a delightful place, in the countryside and very peaceful, but close to the village, which is just a short walk away.”

The children loved it, as their were animals, as well as a huge play area, both in a field and in the woods. This is an ideal place for family holidays, with plenty to do in the neighbourhood. Rachel was very friendly and helpful.

Mr Hill May 2019

“Lovely peaceful place to stay, beautiful countryside and lovely walks.”

But not far from shops and eateries. Close to many other Cotswold attractions. Enjoy.

Mr Forrest April 2019

“We had a nice time at Henloft cottage.”

Great for kids with animals to feed and a woodland play area. The cottage itself is not so good for tall people as the doors and beam are probably only 6 feet high, but the facilities within are good. The pool was freezing cold but good enough for a family to enjoy.

Mr Price April 2019

“Our 5 year old granddaughter really enjoyed herself.”

- Mr Ball, August 2018
Mr Potts July 2018

“Was OK disappointed that there was no tea/ coffee on arrival.”

The play area needs to be up dated and the wood land play area needs to be replaced. On the whole we enjoyed our stay and the owners were very nice but they should be more careful with cleaning as I found large dust bunnies under the sofa's sweets behind the cushions and cotton buds in the upstairs bedroom from previous guests

“Asa first to this lovely part of theCotswolds signage to the farm needs to be more prominent.”

Mrs Deegan March 2018

“We had a lovely week in Henloft, despite the weather!”

The children (2 and 4) loved having the freedom to run off and play and say hello to the various animals. Will definitely stay here again.

Miss Wakefield October 2017

“The beds and sofas were uncomfortable to the point of hurting my partners back.”

There was no room for a travel cot in either of the bedrooms, so our daughter had to sleep in the dining room - not ideal. Also meaning we had to dismantle the cot every morning which was very inconvenient. We stated we had a 1yr old so would obviously be using a travel cot. In the visitors comment book it had been noted by numerous people that the sofas and beds were uncomfortable going back to 2014 - these comments clearly hadn't been taken on board. On the plus side the booking process was quick and easy, the owners seemed nice enough on arrival and the location on site and surrounding town was very nice. Our daughter loved walking around the site and looking at the animals that was a bonus.

- Miss Wakefield, October 2017
Mr Gleadall August 2016

“Fabulous family holiday where we had booked 4 cottages together.”

The location was perfect. The setting of the cottages was also excellent. The farm and facilities were superb. for a family holiday. The staff were always helpful. Only issues were that there was not enough hanging space and the cottages are in need of a minor upgrade in terms of décor and maintenance. These same comments apply for Parlor, Dairy and Bull Pen bookings.

- Mr Gleadall, August 2016
Mrs Majewska October 2015

“The whole visit was relaxing and the kids loved the animals on the farm.”

We will recommend the place to our friends and we will surely come back.
