  • "An excellent property in lovely grounds."

    All facilities are provided. Kitchen was very special with top of the range appliances. There was only five of us. School friends who met 50 years ago meeting up for the weekend, but this property can accommodate many more. I would highly recommend staying here.

    Thank you for your lovely feedback we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at The Clealings, how lovely to all meet up after 50 years, we look forward to welcoming you back for another reunion very soon. Best Wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

  • "We love the Clealings!"

    It was our second time staying there with our 2 families (four young children) and the place is perfect. It felt comfortable, spacious and is well equipped. Outside is the amazing grassed area which is more like a field so there was plenty of space to kick a ball around and in addition a new play facility with swings and slide etc. The welcome pack was the most generous one we have ever had. None of us wanted to leave. Thank you so much.

    Thank you for sharing this feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed your (second!) stay at The Clealings and made the most of the amenities there. We hope to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

  • "Amazing house and perfect for our family stay."

    We had a little issue with black flying bugs. Not sure if it’s infestation or coming in from the fields. Wouldn’t put us off staying again though. Bedroom & bathroom doors are impossible to open and close quietly meaning you can easily wake others. Overall the house was even better than the listing made it look. Games rooms was a perfect escape for the teenagers. We all had so much space yet still felt together.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are delighted that you and your family enjoyed your stay. Yes, you are correct, the bugs will have come from the fields and are a natural occurrence from time to time, during the summer when conditions are right. They are harmless and nothing to worry about. We are glad to hear you made good use of all the space and the games facilities. Best Wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

    My two children, 6 and under, were thrilled to see a climbing by frame and with the gorgeous weather we had, they and the other children in our party spent so much time playing in the garden. The house was clean and today with a wealth of dvds and games in case of rainy days. All the rooms were lovely and spacious and the beds were comfy with lovely soft duvets. With so many people in our group having a main bathroom and a second separate toilet downstairs was very handy. The shower was lovely and powerful too. The kitchen was exceedingly well equipped with every utensil you could wish for and the coffee machine was an added bonus. The games room with the pool table was also great fun.

    Exceptionally clean and spacious, kitchen particularly well equipped. Welcome pack was very generous. Beds and pillows very comfortable. The children made full use of the grounds and enjoyed the playroom. One grumble is the 6pm check in - much later than most properties, and effectively loses a full day of holiday. Safety issue; the small step between kitchen and conservatory is almost invisible as 3 people found to their cost. Hazard warning tape is advised. As an old, arthritic lady, I found the sofas impossible to use. They are very low and slouchy. I hope you don't mind the feedback, it is intended to be helpful. We had a lovely break, thank you.

    The kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything needed by a family of foodies and more. The welcome pack in particular with bread, butter, tea, coffee and jam was a lovely touch and quite unexpected. It would have been useful to have had a dish cloth or sponge and some dishwasher tablets. There were references to dishwasher tablets in the file about the property, but none that we could find. We were disappointed that none of the bathroom or toilet doors locked which caused a few embarrassing interruptions.

    It is spacious, very clean, warm, the games room is good, and the gardens if it hadn’t been raining are huge and well maintained. However, for somewhere that has no cotswolds character, and is a little worn, the sofas are quite tired etc. I do not find the pricing accurate, I know everywhere has price hikes and there is covid cleaning, but it’s pretty bad for a 6pm check in and 10am checkout, so less than 48 hours, to charge £1,295 in a property that would have been about £800 on an October weekend pre covid.

Within 5 minutes of asking Fiona whether there was Netflix a bag appeared on our doorstep with not only The Imitation Game but a large selection of brand new blockbuster videos which kept us entertained all week. There was plenty of wood and kindling for the log burner. All the appliances worked perfectly. The instructions given to rentee's were user friendly and sensible. The location was excellent and the directions to find the cottage also excellent.

  • "We were delighted with The Clealings!"

    Mostly it met our expectations and indeed the size of the accommodation, the location and the additional benefit of a games room were just perfect for us. The house is superbly appointed and it was immaculately clean. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. Our only query is your headline bullet points where you say the house has three bathrooms; it has two bathrooms and a separate WC; in the event this didn’t inconvenience us.

  • "This house was perfect: plenty of space, spotlessly clean, huge garden, pool room, fort for the children."

    The owner was welcoming, helpful, prompt to answer queries and flexible. All in all it was a lovely place to spend a long weekend with our family and we would love to go back at some stage.

  • "The welcome pack of goodies was a delightful surprise on our arrival, including a wonderful cake and flapjack which were were delicious."

    We were a family of 6 adults, 2 children, a toddler and baby and there was so much space in the house and the children loved running about in the massive garden so much that when we went out on day trips they were very eager to return to the house. The details and pictures do not do the accommodation justice. The lounge is large and comfortable with another smaller library room off it, the kitchen is extremely well equipped to a very high standard, and the dining area very light and spacious. Furnishings throughout the house are very good quality and the beds and linen very comfortable, almost luxurious. The owner has thought of everything to make the holiday let better than a "home from home".

  • "Wonderful cottage - so spacious, beautiful grounds and great games room and pool table The sofas in the living area - were not too comfortable to sit on though - you sink into the cushion and as it is deep going back, it can be tricky to pull yourself off (esp for elderly)."

    There was also only 1 frying pan in the kitchen that could be used on the hob - due to the type it was.

  • "Three families, 11 people plus a dog, stayed at Clealings over Christmas 2018, for the second time."

    Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and found everything to our satisfaction. With five growing children we found that the space in the garden and the playroom were a boon. It is rare to have so much space outside in a rental property. We all agreed that we would like to stay at Clealings at some time in the future.

    The layout really suited a large group and we didn't feel on top of each other at all. Very well sound-proofed, especially in protecting adults' sleep in from early morning interruption by small children. Having three toilets was great too. The land surrounding it was stunning. Even in waterlogged January it was brilliant to have such a vast garden to roam in. The separate TV room was great for the children too. The cottage was very warm and snug. The owner was quick to respond when we ran out of various things. Wifi too!
