• "Our recent weekend stay at this charming cottage was absolutely fantastic."

  From the moment we arrived, we were delighted by the beauty of the cottage itself and its stunning surroundings in the Cotswolds. We were also so touched by the kind treats that were waiting for us, which instantly made us feel welcomed and right at home. The location was perfect for exploring the area. We enjoyed wonderful walks right on the doorstep, and numerous other picturesque villages and attractions were just a short and easy drive away. It was the ideal base for immersing ourselves in the beauty of the countryside. Evenings were a delight with board games on hand. We also really appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, which made preparing meals so easy. And what a treat it was to enjoy our breakfasts in the sunny courtyard. This cottage offers a wonderful blend of comfort, convenience, thoughtful hospitality, and access to the natural beauty of the Cotswolds. We wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone seeking a relaxing and memorable escape. We can't wait to return!

  Thank you for the glowing reference. We do try hard to ensure all our guests enjoy their stay so it’s great to receive feedback like yours. We look forward to welcoming you back on another occasion. Property Owner

• "Beautiful cottage in a great location to explore Cirencester and the Cotswolds."

  Lovely extra touches too such as cake and milk etc. Only thing that we could ask for improvement would be a larger bed in master bedroom as we found a standard double a bit small. Wouldn’t stop us returning though as we loved our stay.

  Thanks for your review and glad you enjoyed your stay; knowing others will read the review I need to correct your misunderstanding regarding the bed in the upstairs bedroom; it’s is a king size and is not a standard double. Hope that helps. Look forward to you returning on another occasion. Property Owner

  Everything was supplied from kitchen utensils to board games and DVD's. We did have to ask the owner to turn up the heating during our stay as it wasn't warm enough and he obliged. I would recommend this property to anybody wanting to stay in the Cotswolds.

  This is a fabulous property, fitted to the highest standards with everything you may need for your stay. And when I say everything, I mean everything. Superb kitchen, we like to cook in all the time, which made me feel jealous compared with my own! Cosy details everywhere, nice location, minimal road noise in the early hours which didn’t affect our stay. Just relax and enjoy.

  I would agree with all the previous comments. It was beautifully clean and a perfect position. If you fancy taking the bus it’s just down the road. The local pub, the Old George Inn had good pub grub and the local Co Op was very well stocked. Also the fish and chip shop was great. Couldn’t fault anything!

  IMMACULATE. Beds and couches very comfortable. Kitchen fully equipped, even provided cleaning materials, kitchen roll etc. (which I have never came across before when self catering).

• "We stayed at Hayloft Cottage in February 2024 and really loved it there, it is really fabulous."

  The moment we walked through the front door we just knew we would feel at home here. Refurbished to its current specification with obvious care and attention, the property is light and spacious, the decoration and furnishings have also been considered in the same way. Everything you need for an enjoyable stay is here. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Hayloft Cottage. South Cerney is a very nice village with a Co-Op within walking distance and a Delicatessen called Braai House that is well worth a visit, their cooked breakfast is stunning! Hayloft Cottage is an ideal base to explore the area, walking or otherwise. Oxford and Bath are within easy reach, and Cirencester is a stones throw away. Book Hayloft Cottage, you will not be disappointed.

• "Excellent stay because it was obvious that the owner really cares about the people that stay."

  Upon arrival the house was in perfect condition and has we noticed it had been renovated to an excellent standard, combining old and new. The owners are clearly proud of it and have left a photobook showing the work that had been carried out. A bottle of fresh milk and a nice cake were left for us, which makes a huge difference after a long road trip. So many places don't bother with this simple gesture but it makes the world of difference. The owner was quick to reply to any questions too. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, especially with at least one good pub in easy walking distance. Very tiny observation is that we could have done with bigger towels, but that's me scratching around for something to improve. What's not to like?

  Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback. These comments are very helpful. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the suggestion over the towels which we will consider. Property Owner
