"Absolutely beautiful property"

Absolutely beautiful property, plenty of room, quality finishes, lovely location - exactly as pictured. We would love to return next time our plans take us to the Cotswolds. Highly recommend Sage Cottage.

"Betty’s Cottage-a Cotswold haven"

Located in a beautiful Cotswold village. A delight to return to each evening after a days exploring. The cottage is well presented, clean and beautifully decorated. A thoughtful welcome pack and lovely garden which would be great to sit in on warm days.

"Excellent position"

Excellent position - only minutes walk to the village centre. Beds lovely and comfy and kitchen well stocked with kitcheney bits. Ensuite great for my elderly father however I found the temperature of the water either scalding or cold. Possibly I wasn't hitting the right spot! Other shower and bathroom downstairs which is a bit of a pain, but not a reason to not use this house. Lovely lounge and nice outdoor area.

"Great place to stay"

Well presented and clean cottage in a lovely setting close to Winchcombe. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and walks, the cottage is a perfect place to stay.

"Room for improvement "

While the village and local pub were highlights, the accommodation itself fell short in several areas.

Positives:

• Location: The cottage is in a lovely village with a great pub nearby, offering good food, local ale, and friendly service.
• Kitchen: Well-equipped and decent, making it functional for meal preparation.

Negatives:

• General Condition: The cottage is clean but tired in places, with draughty windows and a need for a fresh coat of paint.
• Comfort: The accommodation is not the most functional or comfortable, with issues like a small living room, squashed furniture, and an overall lack of comfort.
• Bedrooms:
• First-floor bedrooms have wardrobes filled with household items, making it difficult to hang clothes.
• The bed placement next to a noisy airing cupboard is problematic for light sleepers.
• The top-floor bedroom is not very functional and might serve better as a luxurious bathroom.
• Bathroom: Small, not ideal for more than two people. Issues include mould around the shower screen, a small shower head, and a slow-filling bath. The space is not very relaxing or functional.
• Other Issues:
• No pillow protectors, which is off-putting.
• No logs provided for the fire.
• The information guide is falling apart, with minimal details about the area.

Overall Impression:
Despite enjoying the area, the cottage itself didn’t meet our expectations, especially when compared to other accommodations in a similar price range. While it served its purpose, we wouldn’t particularly recommend it for others.

"Lovely midweek break"

Lovely midweek break. Upper Court Lodge at Kentchurch was absolutely beautiful and comfortable.
A superbly renovated home with everything that was needed for our stay. The grounds and gardens of Kentchurch are truly amazing, it was great to have all that just outside the lodge. There are some good walks and good pubs in the area as well, lots to see so we would definitely like go back for another visit.

"Overall just disappointing"

Overall, disappointing for the money. 3 nights at £500 I expected a better experience in terms of:- kitchen equipment eg a washing up kit and tongs/non stick frying pan/potato masher, working fixtures and fittings including lamps, finesse of interior decor - less black mould and bubbling paintwork, broken window clasps or windows that don’t open and broken glass, door knobs that stay on the door, wifi that works as advertised, and overall better presentment. Felt like a commercial venture and not an actual home like an Airbnb. Why have a dishwasher and no washing machine? Check in at 4 and out at 10 is a little mean/outdated now. Poor, could have done way better, sorry!
