Perfect girls weekend away!

The cottage is just perfect for a cosy get away with friends! It’s like being in the holiday! My girlfriends and I stayed and it’s perfect for a weekend away the apartments really cosy and beautiful. The village has a gorgeous farm shop (Cotswold guy literally underneath the apartment) and a wonderful pub and everyone was so friendly. It’s a very remote village but we went on long walks to other pubs and drove to Daylesford farm shop just a perfect place for a get away

A lovely last minute stay

We decided last minute to book a break at the Cotswolds and the Cotswolds Lady was available. We were so happy with the accommodation it was comfortable, stylish and also spacious. I hadn’t heard of Guiting Power but such a lovely little village with 2 good pubs situated at either end that we tried and totally recommend for food. Will definitely book again.

Lovely stay

We had a great time at the property and the village/surrounding area is lovely. It certainly didn't impact our trip, but the main issue was the lack of hot water in the evenings (not ideal after busy days out) which, despite boosting the boiler, was a regular occurrence. Also the little touches like no hand soap when we arrived and one of the blinds not working. Otherwise it was a pleasure to stay and we will most likely be back in the future!

Cotswold lady

We recently stayed at this property and overall found it to be a pleasant place, but there were several issues that need to be highlighted. There was quite a bit of noise from downstairs, particularly doors banging, which could be annoying. This only really bothered us because we were in the property most of the time, but it’s something to be aware of. The bedroom also has sloping ceilings, so you need to be careful as it’s easy to bang your head. The bathroom, particularly the shower, definitely needs updating. There was no shower hose, which caused water to spray and led to flooding. The shower screen was also broken. We contacted the owner twice about these issues but didn’t receive any response until after we had already left. Thankfully, there was no serious emergency, but the lack of communication was disappointing and not reassuring. There was also no welcome pack provided, which would have been a nice touch. Overall, it’s a pleasant place, but improvements are needed, especially regarding maintenance and communication.

A great stay in an idyllic location.

A beautifully decorated, quirky apartment in a idyllic village setting, a great place to explore the Cotswolds from. We visited both the local pubs, great places to rest after a busy day with good food and a drink. Also, we sampled breakfast and coffee and cakes at the Old Post Office and pain au chocolate from the Cotswold Guy, which were all delicious. We found all the places we visited to be dog friendly too. Our only criticism was, we had a few issues with the oven, not sure if that was us though? We would definitely revisit the Cotswold Lady.

Nice place to relax

An authentic old English village with two traditional pubs, shop and coffee shop. We were there to relax and walk the local countryside and were not disappointed. Accommodation was cosy and comfortable with some lack of attention to maintenance, ie mould on bathroom tiles, bedroom tv out of action and no instructions for the oven (found it online) Tourist info was way out of date and no guidance on where to find supermarkets or food deliveries. In summary, enjoyable and recommended,but a little TLC would be wdlcomdd red.

The Lady Abides

The property description is accurate in that it does have steep stairs and low ceilings. Add a little over 6 foot I had to watch my head walking around the place. However, the bed is quite comfortable the kitchen as well pointed and the living room is comfortable as well. The location is excellent, and parking isn’t a problem unless a TV show comes in to film., but that is the price of a truly picturesque location.

Short 6 day Stay

Comfortable accommodation in beautiful, quiet village. Well equipped for a short (or longer) stay. Centrally located for travelling to other parts of the Cotswolds. Close to supermarkets etc in nearby villages and great coffee ship across the road. Unfortunate, continual music with associated loud beat from the property downstairs became an annoyance. No respite at all until closing! Very disturbing! Both window blinds in living area were broken by previous visitors and not repaired prior to our visit.

Cotswold Lady Review

We enjoyed our stay overall and loved the village the Lady Cotswold is in but did have a couple issues to which we never received any reply to an inquiry. As one particular subject was important (inability to get hot water), the lack of any help to rectify the situation was discouraging.

Guiting Power Cottage

Pros Great location, plenty of space/bedrooms. Lovely play room, above a farm shop. Clean. Cons Water did stay hot for long and had to Lee heating it up with timer. Ceiling from landing to bedrooms incredibly low so only suitable for anyone 5ft9 and under. I’m 6ft and my son is 5ft 11 and we both had to duck around of the cottage. No basic amenities ie milk, sugar, tea bags to tie us over giving the timing of local shops. Stayed in other cottages and always had a welcome pack.

Heaven on Earth!

I stayed at The Cotswold Lady for a week with my two children aged 10 & 13. The cottage was spotless and such a beautiful, restful environment to explore the Cotswolds from. The kids especially appreciated the games room which was well stocked with all the classics & there was a fabulous play park nearby. The village was close enough to the tourist hotspots, but off the main drag. It was nice to escape the busier towns to somewhere that was ‘gently bustling’ with a lovely cafe, pubs and of course the Cotswold Guy! It seemed to be a stopping point for hikers & cyclists. Parking nearby to the property was never a problem. The cottage did have some quite steep stairs that might be off putting to people with mobility issues or very young children, otherwise it’s perfect and comes highly recommended. We arranged our visit through StayCotswold, who were very helpful and managed to secure us a last minute booking.

Lovely apartment but noisy kitchen below

The apartment was nicely decorated and well equipped, in a beautiful location with a fabulous children's park nearby. Comfy bed in the main bedroom. Clean and tidy. Unfortunately our stay was spoilt by the noise of the kitchen below. There is a constant 'whirring' all night and then from 8am you can hear music and conversations as the staff arrive to the deli. Our first night, I was woke by someone entering the kitchens after 11, which was quite scary and unexpected. There was no welcome folder, to provide basic info, which would have been helpful e.g how to work the oven, get hot water, where to empty the bins etc. Tele in bedroom didn't work and single beds were creaky.

Gorgeous location but ......

The Cotswold Lady is in a beautiful location, with views over the chocolate box village green. It is fairly quiet with a couple of pubs, a cafe, deli and lots of fabulous walks. The main problems we had were that we felt it could have been a bit cleaner, in particular the floors didn't seem to have been mopped for a while. The two bedrooms are situated over the shop/deli downstairs so there is noise from about 7.30 am when the kitchen opens. We also found that there was plenty of hot water in the mornings but none at night even though we switched on the booster as suggested by the house manager. Finally, some basic equipment seemed to be missing such as a dustpan and brush and a broom. We broke a glass and eventually had to clear it up using kitchen roll as there was nothing else available and the house contact did not seem very interested in assisting us. Having said that, the staff in the deli were very helpful and friendly and maybe we were just unlucky. Overall, I would recommend it, mainly because of the location, but with reservations as mentioned above.

Convenient location but a lot of noise from the shop kitchen under the bedroom

We wanted a property in the village so that we could walk to the music festival, and in that respect it was fine. it was quiet in the evenings, but we were disturbed the first morning by shouting and loud rap music from the kitchen below, where staff were baking for The Cotswold Guy. The owner asked me if we had been disturbed, and she asked the staff not to play music and to keep the noise down, which they did. She also gave us free coffee, which was much appreciated. It would be useful if The Cotswold Guy could be informed when the Cotswold Lady is let. Living accommodation pleasant and kitchen reasonably well-equipped, although the only pan big enough for pasta wasn't suitable for the hob and so took 35 minutes to heat up. There were no egg cups, and not enough mugs, unless you put the dishwasher on when it isn't full. Double bedroom always hot because of the kitchen, with a pervasive smell of cooking. Another hook in the bathroom for bathrobes would have been nice, plus a table for washbags etc. I possibly sound more negative than I intend, but a number of small amendments would help.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - 2 adults and 1 child - in the Cotswold Lady: plenty of space, good size bedrooms and living space, great shop beneath, village with two good pubs and the post office opposite (great for breakfast). We will definitely look to stay again. A few minor issues: TV in bedroom not working, duvet in main bedroom was too small for the bed and it could do with a good spring clean (dirt down side of bed, in sofa, top of fridge etc - all the bits that don’t get captured in a general day to day clean).

Cotswold Lady

Nice place to stay in a lovely village . We would have preferred a wardrobe in the main bedroom as opposed to yet another huge TV screen. Also disappointed there were absolutely no cooking basics. Surely a few teabags, some cooking oil, a pint of milk etc would not be to difficult. Also, we went to use the washing machine on the Friday before we left and it doesn't work. Then found a note in a basket telling us. Surely it either needs fixing or writing on the printed information sheet. It's the small things that make the difference. We liked the cottage but changing a few things would have made it a great place to stay.
