"We had a lovely stay here!"
We visited so many places in the surrounding areas. When we first arrived we noticed the cottage was on a country lane a bit further out from the centre of the village but this wasn’t a problem! We visited Chipping Norton a few times where there’s some lovely restaurants and free parking. We would definitely stay again! Thank you

"The house was lovely clean and welcoming and very well equipped."
However it’s worth considering the height of the fences between the garden. They are very low - even by the entrance to the properties and by the hot tub leaving no privacy at all - clear uncovered trellis did little to alleviate this. This left us unwilling to use the garden when other guests were around. One of our dogs doesn’t like strangers and found being able to see people over the the low fences very anxiety inducing and our other dog who is calm and chilled also found the comings and goings of strangers very over stimulating. A higher fence would have avoided a lot of this. It’s a real shame as the property is really lovely but the inability of relax in the garden being so overlooked affected our inability to enjoy the weekend fully.
This is very unusual to hear as all our gardens are enclosed with a 4ft fences which our guests new and serial returners love the safe gardens for their four legged family and all dogs seem to settle in really well. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage in a peaceful part of Cotswold."
The owners were very helpful in assisting us when we had issues or any questions. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here if they plan on exploring the Cotswolds.

"Do not book if you have kids!"
! Absolutely wonderful cottage, very well equipped, very clean, lovely enclosed garden, lovely welcome pack. Very comfortable beds, brilliant hot tub BUT OWNERS WATCH EVERY MOVE!! Some sort of family feud!! Unsuspecting holiday makers caught up in it. Told we can't socialize with neighbours ( they are not welcome in our garden) such an uncomfortable atmosphere!!! holidays should be nice and relaxing!! I felt watched and judged the whole week. I just thank God we had such lovely neighbours, they made our holiday. Friends for life. Unlike the owners of these cottages. If they don't want children, say "adults only" probably the worst place we have ever stayed for hospitality! Felt completely spied on all week, they live very close opposite!! I would never, ever, stay with owners on site again. We left the cottage spotless, beds stripped, bleach down toilet. Unfairly treated!! Jen, nick immy, Amelie and patchy the dog. Xx
We've had many families with kids over the years that we've been open, we've never had problem and think it's lovely when they all socialise and get along. We never said you can't socialise with guests (from either side) we just asked for the guest/young boy from next door (not from one of our cottages) not to use the tub as he won't be under our insurance to use it. Each tub is for the cottage guests use only. We also showed the guests how to take the hot tub lid off properly so it doesn't get damaged (all this is in the manual in each property for guests to read on arrival before using the hot tub) it also says in the manual the tubs are checked everyday for your safety (chemicals) and water level which is usually done when guests are out for the day. We also do not spy or watch guests nor is there any family feuds going on. All owners of the three holiday cottages live together in the main farmhouse and we can assure you we get along here and we all happily run the three cottages together here. Property Owner

"They should have a soft brush so u can sweep the floors and mop"

"Beautiful accommodation, very well equipped and welcoming."
Lovely gifts left by the hosts for us and the dog which was very much appreciated. Would highly recommend and we would stay here again.
-
"The most well equipped cottage we have stayed in."
It was really clean and we had no concerns during our first post lockdown trip away. We loved the treats left for us on arrival including the dog biscuits for our four legged guest. Great location with plenty to do in the area but also lovely to come back on a night and have a soak in the hot tub.
-
"We have stayed here before."
The owners are very thoughtful with a great eye for detail. The cottage was spotlessly clean. We felt confident staying there.
-
"We had a fantastic week at the Cow Byre."
Wonderful cottage with everything you need in a central but peaceful location & the hot tub was a relaxing luxury. Fantastic hosts who left a welcome present for us and the dogs. Highly recommended & we would love to return.

"Excellent cottage, well equipped and very comfortable - it's our 3rd stay at The Meetings, thank you Jo & Julie."
-
"Excellent quality Cottage with the experience supplemented by the hosts added extras to make the stay outstanding."
-
"Your photos do not do this property justice."
In particular they don't mirror accurately the great space in the lounge/diner. The log burner was not necessary as the central heating was more than adequate. One point on the downside I think the fact that the roomstat is on the top landing makes it probable that the ground floor will be rather hot. We turned down most radiator thermostats. The table might be a bit small for families with two or more children. It was more than adequate for two.

"As usual great little cottage!"
Thanks...

"Loveliest cottage we have ever stayed in."
-

The owners kept us informed all the way and even said we could arrive early as the cottage was ready before 3pm There was a lovely welcome pack and the cottage was very clean and had all we needed with an ideal enclosed garden for the dogs We could have done with a non slip shower mat and the stairs we're a little on the steep side for us
-
"As always our holiday was amazing you never fail to meet our expections ."
Thank you sykes keep up the good work .
-
"A very comfortable cottage in a beautiful location."
Couldn’t fault the facilities provided. Garden, although small was pretty and a sun trap and secure for the dogs. Lovely hosts. Many nice places to visit within easy reach. Would highly recommend and would book again.
-
"We had everything we needed for a comfortable holiday."

-
"Cottage was lovely ."
.had everything we needed ...would go back
-
"The location and accommodation are both exceptional."
Julie and Jo the owners of the property both made us feel very welcome. A little gem of a place
-
"This is a great cottage - the only things that could be improved are 1) providing more firelighters and ensuring the lighter has enough lighter fluid, 2) providing a sponge to do the washing up (when not needing the dishwasher) and 3) considering a slightly longer double bed (my other half is over six feet tall)."
All in all though a lovely stay, loved the wood burner and the kitchen is incredibly well equipped. Also liked that the plug sockets in the kitchen had USB chargers, really handy! Finally, the welcome gift of chocolates and wine was much appreciated :) We'd happily stay again!
-
"The property was clean and welcoming, nice treats, pretty rural village with nice walks."
-
"Undoubtedly the best designed and equipped cottage in my experience."
Suprisingly roomy---almost Tardis like. Only dislike was that the double bed mattress was too soft and soft edged; but that is my own personal choice. Stairs easy to negotiate and not too steep.Lounge area very comfortable. Enclosed garden small but safe for dogs. Nearest walkable footpaths a little remote and reached along a sometimes busy road with no footpath. Easily found and good off-road parking.
-
"The cottage was brilliant and dog friendly with plenty of walks"
-

"Wonderfully maintained and created Barn conversion with excelent facilities -Ideal quiet location very easy access to eastern cotswolds; local facilities and shops."
We and our two dogs enjoyed a pefect short break --wondeful weather helped --but in any conditions it would be an ideal retreat we shall, probably, return soon
-
"Very well equipped, clean and modern accommodation."
"Treats" on arrival for both the dog and the humans were most welcome. Good TVs, WiFi and even USB charging points. In a relatively remote spot but well placed for visiting much of the Cotswolds, Blenheim, Oxford, Bicester etc. Plenty of local information provided. No major downsides other that the weather wasn't great for April but that's England for you.
-
"Very lovely conversion, very comfortable."
A few more kitchen bits and pieces eg small glasses / tumblers, storage tins etc. but as the place is very new this is as expected. Bathroom / bedroom / lounge all great. Nice touches around home, very thick walls keep out noise. Unsure what building work is going on next door, had vans parked right outside bedroom window most days so may be a problem when work ramps up.
-
"Our only gripe is that the double bed was only standard size."
If you were thinking of replacing the bed I suggest you make it king size, at least. The room's big enough!
-
"Immaculate accommodation Dog friendly even left welcome pack of biscuits for our pooches"
-
"Fantastic place first class the owners and wonderful A star"
-
"Highly recommended - dogs loved the secure garden!"
-
"A very comfortable newly converted barn."
