Glen cottage location was perfect

We arrived on Wednesday evening to the sound of church bells ringing — it was absolutely magical. The cottage was beautiful and very spacious, with comfy beds and an idyllic location. The village itself is lovely, with a great community shop.

A little piece of tranquility in a beautiful location

If you’re looking for a cosy yet surprisingly spacious, warm and peaceful place to properly switch off, this is it. The cottage has real character with that classic Cotswold feel, but still gives you all the comfort you need to relax straight away. Set in a beautiful village, it strikes the perfect balance, close enough to everything you need, but tucked away enough to feel calm and quiet. The surroundings are stunning, with great walks on the doorstep and lovely local pubs nearby. It genuinely felt like a home from home (just better), and we loved our time there. We’ll definitely be back.

A cosy, character filled Cotswolds cottage

We stayed at this lovely cottage to celebrate my mum’s 80th birthday, with four adults and our Labrador, and it was perfect for a special family break. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very cosy and full of original features. The log fire in the front room made it especially welcoming. The location was fantastic, with great local pubs nearby and a community shop close by for essentials. It really had that classic Cotswolds feel. My mum had a wonderful birthday and we all felt completely at home. We would happily recommend this cottage and would love to return.

Lovely Cottage in a beautiful village

We had a lovely stay in the Glen, it was perfect for our small family and dog with a sunny enclosed garden and kitchen dining area. The village was beautiful and worth a visit in its own right; although living there gives you views and a perspective you perhaps wouldn’t get from a short visit.

Glen Ilmington

Nice traditional cottage in excellent location. Kitchen has all you require and more. Comfy beds. Water pressure in shower was a tad hit and miss. Could of been a bit cleaner when you looked closely Beds/Furniture needed moving and cleaning behind. Garden had fence missing so if staying with dogs be careful.Pictures of garden not as Stay cotswold web pictures clearly work had been done removing alot of shrubs/trees. However an excellent location in a lovely village walk from front door access to public footpath from garden. Pop in Red Lion for good value lunch menu and Monday Pizza. Had a lovely stay.Would stay again.

Lovely cottage - ideal base for exploring the Cotswolds

Great cottage as a base for exploring the Cotswolds. Very comfortable & well equipped. As we were blessed with good weather we made the most of the sitting areas outside. Lovely village with community shop & 2 pubs. We went walking everyday, sometimes from the cottage and other times driving to explore further afield.

Fantastic Holiday Cottage

We stayed at The Glen last week and had a brilliant time. It was roomy, quiet, modern and we wanted for nothing. Everything you might need was available within the cottage. We had our 2 dogs and the garden was perfect as enclosed due to the side gates. We will definitely be back

Perfect cosy retreat

The Glen was perfect for our friends get together. It was cosy and had everything we needed. The manager was easy to communicate with. It's a very peaceful village with a lovely pub for food (The Howard Arms). It's a great spot to explore the Cotswolds from.

Great location and cottage

We had a lovely weekend at The Glen. The cottage is spacious, warm and comfortable including the beds. Its location in the pretty Ilmington village with two great pubs and country walks was perfect. Where it mattered was clean, however we felt the cottage could do with a deep clean including the cooker. We also would have preferred an earlier check in, arriving at 5pm in heavy traffic and darkness wasn’t ideal. The WiFi and phone reception was poor. The positives however definitely outweighed the few negatives so we would love to return to this lovely cottage.

A beautiful cottage in the heart of the Cotswolds

Five of us recently stayed at The Glen for a little reunion of uni friends and it was absolutely perfect. The village of Ilmington is lovely in itself and is only a short drive from the larger villages of Chipping Campden and Broadway. The cottage was extremely well equipped, very cosy and had lots of lovely character. The rooms were comfy and we were lucky enough to have decent weather to be able to enjoy the lovely garden. I will absolutely stay here again if I find myself in this neck of the woods!

A nice vacation in a very cute cottage

We enjoyed our stay at The Glen very much. Very lovely cottage and also dog friendly which was important for us. Very nice surrounding, sweet little village. We would like to make a small comment regarding the directions, as we only found the cottage with the help of the local residents. It is in not directly located at the street so not possible to find it at once.

Chocolate box charm

A group of school friends now in our late 60s rented for a week. The house was charming, well appointed and had everything we needed. Our neighbour (shared path) was gracious and friendly. The village, pubs, and community cafe were excellent, friendly and in a little English idyll. Would recommend.

4 day break Ilmington, Warks

First of all, the information provided by Stay Cotswolds, just before our arrival date was comprehensive and very useful. The only minor problem was having to wait till 5pm to access The Glen, However, we walked around the Churchyard and inside St Mary's Church which was interesting where found some of the Mouseman's mouse carvings. Once we opened the front door to the Glen we were pleasantly surprised by the lovely, roomy, cosy home from home. Plenty of hot water, comfortable beds and a cosy lounge. Venturing into the garden we were surprised by the size - if only we'd had some sunshine to enable us to sit out there! It was a lovely tranquil space ,.Ilmington is a quiet, friendly village with a Community shop and a pub and close to lots of places to visit. We would definitely recommend the Glen.
