Great Easter stay

We had a great week at Apple tree cottage with three adults and 2 children. The house had everything we needed with two bathrooms, a well stocked kitchen and warm rooms. Great location just a couple of minutes walk into town and great parking behind the house. Would definitely use stay Cotswolds again. Great service and overall a good house. Although maybe a new bed frame is needed in the main bedroom it was sooooo creaky!!

Home away from home!

Lovely homely cottage in superb location in Bourton on the Water, with parking! Cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Beds afforded a good nights sleep (always a bonus and not guaranteed!). Communication from StayCotswolds was efficient and friendly. All info needed for the property was provided well in advance.

Lovely cottage, perfect location

The cottage was lovely and in the perfect location. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone. Everything we needed was provided and a two minute walk to the village centre. We had a very enjoyable long weekend break.

Spring has Sprung!

Just enjoyed a spring break in the Cotswolds and had a fab stay in Appletree Cottage. Fab location, 2 mins from village centre, easy parking, beautiful warm, cosy and well equipped cottage. High quality welcome pack, comfy bed and a pleasure to come back to after a days exploring. Stay Cotswold are very professional and offer a good selection of cottages, with great communication follow ups to keep you fully informed of every aspect of your stay.

Lovely cottage, a few niggles

Lovely little cottage in a good place just a few niggles. Door key in the outside door when arrived , door unlocked. Carbon monoxide alarm was bleeping constantly on entry. Rang to report and it took 2 calls to your office and almost 3 hours for someone to come and replace it. We couldn't switch the noise off . Master bed has a very wobbly base.

Nearly perfect

2 issues have to be resolved: the heating system has an mechanical issue: either you have to turn it off or you put it on but the entire house is boiling. Heaters have not been fixed properly and as a result putting it on level 1 or 5 makes no difference. Same with the thermostat. The door of the shower upstairs is damaged. As a result, water comes out. The rest of the property is immaculate. I regret the property manager ignored my message about the heating system being still problematic the last day of our stay. I would have liked at least an answer from her. She didn't bother answering me, I guess knowing we were leaving. Part from that the town is amazing and the location ideal.
