“Comfortable and spacious cottage, good location, welcome hamper was a nice bonus.”

Both owners were nice and friendly. Overall, we had relaxing short holiday, spoiled a little by weather only.

“Nothing was too much trouble.”

We arrived after a difficult time (probably true for everyone in 2020). We booked on the day of arrival and Tracy had put up a Christmas tree and provided a welcome pack with a homemade fabulous loaf of bread, Cotswold butter, a selection of miniature jam/marmalade. Biscuits, milk. Absolutely extraordinary. The cottage is very warm and cosy, beds are comfortable and during Covid the attention to detail in everything means you feel very safe. Procedures are in place to keep cottage a safe environment. Everything was in working order and excellent decor - relaxing and peaceful. Best cottage ever. Thank you all the extra steps were much appreciated.

Thank you for your lovely comments. The owner will be delighted to read that it is the best cottage ever! Sykes owner relations

“The cottage was so clean and so very well equipped.”

Tracy was very welcoming and gave us some excellent tips on where to go. This was our first break since all the madness began and we weren't sure what to expect but there was no impact on our holiday whatsoever. The cottage was the best one we have stayed in as it was so well laid out and so very well equipped. Lots of 'how to' information too which has been lacking sometimes at other properties. Would very highly recommend Grooms Cottage to all!

- Mrs Owen, September 2020

Thank you for you amazing feedback. The owners will be delighted to hear that Old Groom's Cottage is the best you have stayed in. We hope you visit again soon! Sykes owner relations
Mrs Dougan August 2020

“The cottage was beautiful in a fabulous location to visit the spectacular places in the Cotswolds.”

The welcome box was amazing. Tracy & Stuart were perfect hosts. The local pubs were lovely & would especially recommend the Horse & Radish. It was a perfect home from home.

“This is the best equipped cottage we have stayed in.”

The contemporary design blended well with its country feel. We loved our stay. We also loved how close we were to all the key areas of interest. We really enjoyed our time at Grooms Cottage, thank you. Just a couple of points to note, it was so well equipped there wasn’t an empty cupboard for the food and snacks we brought, we had to leave them on the worktop and the WIFI codes need updating in the welcome pack because it still points you to BT05. Loved our welcome gifts too!

- Miss Crawford, July 2020

We are pleased to hear this is the best equipped cottage you have ever stayed in and that you loved your stay, We will pass your comments regarding the storage cupboard for food and the wifi codes to the owner. Many thanks Manor Cottages Sykes owner relations

“Groom Cottage is absolutely lovely.”

From the moment we walked in, we felt at home. The owners are lovely people and my grandchildren loved feeding apples and carrots to their two horses Archie and Red every day. I cannot find any fault with this lovely place and would highly recommend. Thank you...Kriegler and Bialas family

“We had the most enjoyable stay at Groom's Cottage.”

Everything we could have needed was available. The cottage was immaculate throughout and the beds and towels were very comfortable. Stuart & Tracy were very friendly. My daughter particularly enjoyed seeing the horses and hens. If we were to stay within the area again, we wouldn't hesitate to come back.

“We have had a lovely week @ Groom's Cottage.”

A very luxurious cottage with everything you need. All the small touches are so thoughtful from the welcome basket to the cotton wool & tissues in the bathroom, even rubber gloves in the kitchen!\ The bathroom is like having your own personnel spa and we love the soft lighting - perfect.\ The whole cottage is very welcoming and we will be back.\

“A very enjoyable stay.”

The cottage is lovely with very comfortable beds! Very well equipped and very tastefully designed, furnished & decorated. \ Visited several pretty villages and had a very relaxing few days. Out r first visit to the Cotswolds and certainly not disappointed! Thank you for the welcome pack, a very nice thought!\

“This is the most beautiful cottage I've ever stayed in!”

I stayed with my two children for a week and we were so impressed. Spotlessly clean and smelt wonderful! Beautiful ensuite to the upstairs bedroom and a lovely view of the horses and stables to wake to each morning. Tracy and Stuart made us feel so welcome and with all the luxuries of home this cottage is a must. Minster Lovell is a pretty little village and within great distance to all the attractions Oxford has to offer. We will most certainly be booking Grooms cottage again in the future. Thankyou Tracy and Stuart for a wonderful stay

The property

The Old Groom's Cottage is an absolutely spotless cottage, one which is hidden away in a quiet location in the village of Minster Lovell.

Set down a private drive in the grounds of the owners home, Groom's has been converted into a high quality holiday home that is spacious and very well kitted out.

Downstairs is an open plan space with a super-smart kitchen and very attractive living area that looks towards the garden area and stables in the distance.

There is also a bedroom with ensuite, ideal for children or those people preferring not to stay on the upper level.

Upstairs is a large, open bedroom, with great views of the countryside plus beautiful ensuite bathroom .The property is immaculate and very well cared for and perfect for families or couples.

As the property sites on a small-holding, there are some horses, chickens plus other animals on site nearby which make it unique and interesting.

Nearby are some basic shops plus a few good local pubs, so if you decide to 'do nothing' while on holiday you can do that here very easily!!

Places such as Burford and the market town of Witney are both about 5-8 mins drive away, with a wide range of things to do and places to eat and relax.
