“A wonderful, warm and cosy cottage with excellent facilities for us and our four-legged friends.”

- Mrs Croydon, October 2019
“The stables was clean and met our expectations.”

Thewine and dog treats were well received and a nice touch.It was reassuring that despite the fact the owners lived opposite the accommodation ,not once did they feel it necessary to come and visit us,leaving us to get on with our much needed rest.Some owners declare that the gardens are safe and secure,very often I find this not to be the case when you have medium sized dogs who want to jump over or go through the fences.In the case of the stables I can honestly say it was the most secure of gardens and two English pointers were left very disappointed that they could not reenact the great escape.

- Mr Couch, August 2019
“Clean house with everything you need in a great location.”

Everything was well thought out and it was a real home from home experience.

- Mr Carrington, August 2019
“The weather as ever was unpredictable, but the cotswolds has plenty to offer.”

- Mr Townsend, August 2019
“The Stables is a lovely little cottage.”

It’s very well equipped and had everything we needed. It looks like it has been newly renovated. The stair gate is a great idea for the dogs, we use one at home, and the garden is safe and secure. If I could say one improvement it would be to supply fans in the bedrooms. They get a bit too hot being up in the roof and even open windows didn’t help.

- Ms Thomas, July 2019
“Simply perfect!”

Would definately go again.

- Mr Joshi, July 2019
“The bedding is such poor quality it actually affected overall experience.”

I would recommend upgrading this as it’s scratchy, poor quality. The location and amenities are all good.

- Ms Cordelli, May 2019

I am sorry to hear you were unhappy with the quality of the bedding, we pride ourselves on the standards at our properties and this has never been mentioned before. Feedback is incredibly important to us and we pride ourselves on the excellent comments usually received by our guests. Sykes owner relations
“What a wonderful base for exploring the Cotswolds.”

There was nothing missing from the property, good cutlery, cooking pots and pans, oven proof dishes, sharp knives, fridge, freezer, washing machine, dish washer, microwave, fan assisted oven, everything! Even a tea pot! The floor is tiled which is brilliant when you're bringing your dog's. There is also a downstairs loo. Comfy leather recliner sofa and chair, big TV with free view and a DVD player. Also there is WiFi for the people that don't know how to get away from it all on holiday. Under the stairs are the clothes horse/ airer, mop, bucket, and hoover. On the stairs there's a child gate. Upstairs is the double room and the twin and a shower room with loo. Brilliant sky light in the shower room, should you have a call of nature during the night, you can sky gaze too. Couldn't ask for more, parking, garden for the dog's, walks on the doorstep, clean comfortable property, excellent owner's!

- Miss Edwards, May 2019
“We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage (The Stables) on our visit to the cotswolds.”

The cottage was immaculately presented a real home from home with everything you would require. We would have no hesitation in recommending "The Stables" and Sykes Cottages. Which we will be using in the future.

- Mr Hunter, March 2019
“Lovely cottage, welcome pack was very well received and a lovely touch.”

Extremely warm and cosy. Key collection and drop off was great and made things really easy, Would highly recommend this cottage.

- Mrs Walsh, March 2019
“A very nice cottage ,very clean very well presented and very well equipped.”

The unfortunate thing was the lack of any views over the surrounding countryside. Windows on the upper level were set at floor level so you needed to sit/lie on the floor to see out of the windows. on the ground floor the views through the windows were either the adjacent farmhouse building or the bin store. There was only one key and from my point of view a second key would be advantageous..

- Mrs Hart, January 2019
“Very cosy cottage finished to a high standard throughout.”

Lovely festive welcome pack including treats for Ruby the dog. Excellent shower. So warm we didn't even need to use the wood burner! Breakfast bar seating would be cramped for 4 people, but for 2 it was no problem. End of terrrace so parking area very convenient for loading/unloading. Great location.

- Mrs Parker, December 2018
“The cottage was of very high quality and comfortable although the beds let it down.”

When on holiday you need a good nights sleep and unfortunately the beds were not very comfortable. Apart from this we had a really enjoyable stay and the owners should be very proud of what they have achieved.

- Mrs Robson, October 2018

Cottage was spotless clean lovely welcome pack just a few little things could improve it no mirror downstairs except in toilet which it was to high up to see anything only top of head a tray in shower nowhere to put shampoo and soap over all it was a really lovely cottage

- Mrs Cattanach, September 2018
“Loved the cottage - beautiful area and very quiet - which is what we wanted.”

Everything you could need was provided, including the owners had left treats to start our holiday - lovely touch! We were also pleased that they emailed details about key collection beforehand, which made things a lot easier on arrival. I would highly recommed The Stables and would definitely book to go again.

- Mrs Asworth, September 2018
“A very comfortable cottage , quality fittings and efficient heating, perfect for our weekend visit - excellent for dogs- a secure lawn area was appreciated.”

A rural location however unexpected traffic noise at night - nothing the owners can do about that but it did keep waking us up ! but the benefits of this property meant we would return if visiting this area again

- Miss Stuart, September 2018
“The cottage was beautiful and very well maintained.”

It offered everything we needed for our week long stay. Thank you!

- Miss Muirhead, August 2018
“Lovely area and lovely cottage”

- Mrs Lockyer, August 2018
“We had a super week at the Stables.”

It was the perfect location for exploring Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties, and we made lots of day trips (Blenheim Palace, Stratford upon Avon, Stow on the Wold, Warwick, Biscester Village, etc). The cottage itself is one of three converted from an enormous old farm barn - and the conversion was has been done brilliantly so that the old character was still there yet the facilities and layout are everything you’d expect from a modern build. We were provided with a generous welcome pack and had access to great local shops in Chipping Norton. The owners suggested days out and walking routes nearby which we enjoyed despite the fierce heat. We also had several delicious meals in the local pub (The Falkland Arms). Thoroughly recommended.

- Mrs Maltzoff, July 2018
“The cottage is perfect , it is beautifully presented & has everything you need for your stay .”

On arriving we found the owners had provided us with some goodies ie wine,biscuits, cakes ,milk ,tea,coffee, a throwaway barbecue , vase of flowers. Lovely touch. The cottage is in a great location to visit many of The Cotswolds towns & villages . Would definitely recommend these cottages.

- Mrs Rose, June 2018
“Lovely accommodation, home from home and ideal location for exploring the Cotswolds.”

Owners very attentative to your every needs. Would visit again.

- Mrs Nesbitt, May 2018
“Fantastic Christmas at Julie & Jo's cottage, great to see tree, lights and decorations.”
