"The cottage was well equipped, very clean and comfortable with very little that could be improved upon ( more coat hangers possibly?"
) An electric car charger would have been a bonus.
The milk,tea,coffee and biscuits were much appreciated.
Lovely quiet location but convenient for visiting Oxford, Cotswold villages etc.
Very enjoyable stay.

"Unfortunately the electrics have not been properly connected and turning the bathroom fan on caused the boiler to cut out."
The ventilation in the bathroom is nowhere near what is required, with half of the small window being permanently blocked off by the shower screen. Not enough room to dry off with a towel and shower water sprays over the floor. There is very little storage space in the bedroom to unpack belongings, not enough cupboard or drawer space for clothes and far too many owner's nicknacks, photos and ornaments everywhere preventing us finding a place for our necessities for the week. I presume you want to present a shabby-chique look, but I suggest getting rid of the tiny wardrobe and useless table and installing a combined floor to ceiling wardrobe with shelving and drawers with mirror. Settee was extremely uncomfortable, squashy, far too low and needs replacing. Kitchen and cupboards were well-stocked, but left no room for food. Not nearly enough space around the dining table. Complete lack of hooks for coats (especially wet ones!) Worst of all would be a danger if a fire broke out as getting out would really be a problem with the windows either not opening or too small. Good-sized fridge and washing machine. Maybe I expected too much due to the description.
Thank you for your recent feedback, & sorry to hear the weather wasn't favourable for your stay ! We understand the village experienced a power cut during your visit so unfortunately this sounds like it’s contributed to the power being tripped & your electrical issues.
FYI -We have to follow a strict yearly Fire assessment with Sykes & hold valid boiler & electrical certification in order to holiday let.
The company view all of the properties prior to adding them to their portfolio, write the property descriptions & advice on Inventories & information files.
The Owners contact & Head office company assistance numbers are also listed should guests need any help or encounter any unforeseen circumstances during their stay.
Our property consists of 4 rooms all on ground floor level, the bathroom has an
en-suite size window ( as the photographs show ) & the other 3 rooms have windows that conform to fire regulation standards.
All windows are lockable for security purposes & keys are provided at the cottage.
The kitchen door gives direct access outside onto the property’s private driveway, should there ever be an Emergency situation arise.
Everyone has a personal opinion on furnishings but we feel the pictures ( which were all taken by Sykes ) convey everything Thelwall cottage is, represents & offers guests.
May I suggest that before you book your next cottage holiday, that you not only read the description on the property itself but view the internal photos in more detail & also read some of the previous guests comments. This hopefully allows for a more
“ general overview” from people who have previously stayed & an insight into their own personal experience.
We continue to read predominantly positive feedback from guests which has also contributed to us receiving a Sykes award Certificate.
Thank you again for all of your comments & we wish you many Sunnier holidays ahead !

It was spotlessly clean, comfortable, well furnished and quiet. We felt at home straight away. The cake and milk was a nice touch, plus there were lots of other little essentials. Cottage feels like it’s been lovingly restored.
Lovely village too and ideally situated for exploring the Cotswolds.

"The property was extremely well equipped with all we could have needed and more and it was in very good condition."
However, we did find that the bedroom was too tight for us and the rugs on the floor beside the bed caused problems at night as they slid on the floor when stepped on. The lack of clothes storage was also an issue, the wardrobe was adequate but there was minimal drawer storage so such items had to remain in the suitcases during the week. As these cases had to be stored under the bed this created more difficulty.
Use of the bath would be safer if a bath mat could be provided perhaps?
We found it a bit slippy during use, probably due to use of shower/bath soaps. We found it difficult to get out of the bath due to the narrow space between bath and sink.
We did not feel welcomed by the co-owner, having arrived 15 minutes or so early we just sat outside waiting to be allowed in. At the appointed time she advised the cottage was ready for us and we accessed the key from the keysafe. No verbal welcome was offered. We will not be returning. We did not arrive early hoping to gain early access.
