• "We had a lovely stay at Inglenook Cottage."

  It was really comfortable and warm and in a great location. Nothing at all to complain about. We loved the cottage and Bourton-on-the-Water and surrounding areas.

  Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed Inglenook Cottage and the local area. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner

• "We really enjoyed our holiday at Inglenook cottage, it was lovely and warm and welcoming."

  It was also very close to amenities which was great but the downside of that is the parking. We had to use the car park which worked out quite expensive over a week. We would certainly wish to return in the future.

• "The freezer door was broken so could not be used."

  The WiFi was non existent.see thru curtains in bathroom and landing no privacy dining room chairs were badly stained and dirty kitchen sink broken my wife cut her hand on it,location was excellent, last thing the shower sealant was a shabby mess on the outside,was not clean very disappointed will be looking for compensation.also two days in the for sale sign went up .

  Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed. We have passed your comments onto the owner, who is investigating. It is a shame that you did not contact the owner during your stay, so that they had the opportunity to rectify whilst you were there. They advise that WiFi was working fine on the day of your arrival. We are glad you enjoyed the central location. Best wishes Manor Cottages Thank you for your feedback. we are disappointed you didn't reach out to us after we gave you the wifi code and advised you it was on the back of the router, Inglenook has full bar signal. The vertical blind in the bathroom has a cord which you need to pull to enable it to close for privacy, had you called us we could have guided you how to use this, they are quite straightforward. As per our note, the freezer is useable, merely missing one peg clip and it was in place, we have now replaced a chest freezer in the cottage. We could have also advised you where to find the cushions which cover the chairs had you reached out to us. Also the sink was and is in perfect condition so I can't think what you could have cut yourself on, there is a first aid kit in the kitchen at Inglenook so hopefully you found this and were able to tend to it. Kind Regards the owner. Property Owner

• "The dirtiest place I’ve ever stayed, we left early as it was so grubby and unloved."

  The location is excellent and this should be lovely but it’s really NOT! Grease running down the walls in a tatty kitchen, dirty fittings and crockery,. Microwave with broken light and food hanging from top. Grill pan with grease and covered with foil, oven knobs held on by sticky tabs. Toaster full of crumbs and as grubby as the kettle. There were spiderweb over light fixtures and ceilings, smelly rugs and broken sofa. All equipment is well past PAT testing including the boiler that is located in a bedroom wardrobe that is also used to store flammable Christmas decorations, the bedroom has a broken smoke alarm taped up. Fans in bathroom totally encrusted with dust, rusty dirty hinges on toilets, poor shower that was also grubby. Door fell off the freezer compartment of the old tatty fridge freezer, there was a note left to say they were ‘looking into it’ ( same issue noted Sept 2022!!) Holes in the skirting board that looked very suspicious! Sofa is smelly, stained and uncomfortable being held up by sheets of ply boards . We complained about the state of the place it took 4 days for cleaners to arrive and they then left the place worse, thick grime from the dirty bathroom fans left all over the bathroom taps, not pleasant when you go to clean your teeth! I was informed by Sykes on the Saturday when I initially reported my concerns that I had to give the owner opportunity to clean, before an alternative accommodation could be considered. Cleaners arrived Tuesday 4 days later ( we were only saying 7 days) I had to continue to chase for information and use a variety of media platforms. We ate our meals out as the kitchen was too dirty to use. This added extra expense to our holiday, but I don’t go on holiday to clean someone else’s house. There are however many lovely places to eat in the village. We left 2 days early as we didn’t want to stay in the dirt and smell and there was little chance of it being cleaned properly. We requested a partial refund as we decided that we just couldn’t stay there. It was immediately refused by the owner, no discussion. There are far nicer places to stay in the area. I don’t usually write reviews however I hope nobody else has the same poor experience and after service from Sykes that we received. There will be little likelihood of my report being published but something needs to be done to address the poor standard of this accommodation and the unreflective advertising posted and promoted by Sykes.

  Feedback Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay. You may note that at the time of your arrival , you did not contact the owner to advise them of any issues . The owner was contacted about the concerns on the Tuesday evening and came back to you on the Wednesday morning to attend the property so literally the following morning. Looking at your queries one by one: The cottage had recently been decorated so there was no grease on the walls as you mention. Clean foil is put into a clean grill pan on each changeover , this was still CLEAN on checking when we came to you on the Wednesday, no grease was present. There was one loose oven knob which was secured safely by electrical tape whilst a new one was on order which is now fixed. We found both the kettle and toaster to be clean, obviously they are not brand new but they weren’t grubby, there may have been a couple of crumbs stuck deep down inside but I’m sure you can understand these aren’t always easy to come out but thank you for pointing this out. We do our best to ensure we catch every cobweb and again thank you for pointing this out, we do go round with our duster on each clean. The PAT testing doesn’t need to be done every year so wasn’t out of date and it has been done since your stay and the boiler isn’t something you PAT test, it’s serviced and safety checked every year and its not due until the end of Nov, paperwork is in our guest book. The smoke alarm was taped up for your safety and there are enough alarms in the house . This has now been replaced. The freezer compartment door was only broken a week prior to your stay by a previous guest, a note about this was left for you and it still works. A new chest freezer has replaced the freezer compartment and the rest of the fridge freezer is in good condition. A little dust gets into the previous de commissioned bathroom fan which we removed for you ensuring we covered everything over whilst doing so. It really was only a little. We are sorry that you felt the shower wasn’t clean , it was clean , however we re sealed the outside to stop a small water leak and to prevent water going through the ceiling , this is on the very corner of the outside , had you contacted us we could have told you this as it has no bearing on the use or cleanliness of the shower . This is being replaced in the new year. We know the cottage was thoroughly cleaned before your arrival, you had been there 5 days by the time we went back so were only able to attend to the points mentioned. The sofa is frequently steam cleaned and has recently had a deep clean and is not as you say, it only has some ply board under the main cushion seat giving it some extra support to help it so that it’s not too soft as it is being replaced at the end of the season. Rugs are cleaned as normal. We are dog friendly as you know as you also brought your dog with you. You were left the owners details to contact but chose not to do so which made it very difficult for everyone involved to satisfactorily support you over a weekend period. Property Owner

• "The Cottage was lovely."

  Situated in Town and handy for all amenities. Lovely to have an outside space, the garden was a bonus. Very well equipped, everything clean and comfortable. Used ‘Just Park’ to park the car just 4mins from the cottage in private house in Moore Street. Saved time trying to park in busy car parks and much cheaper too. (Just £42 for a week.) well worth doing not having to rely on trying to get a space in the carparks when you’ve been out for the day.

• "Terrific place to stay."

  Whilst a very small cottage every was still available to us. The property is still being updated, repainted and being ready for the peak season but it was still absolutely fine for us. The only negative was that we had to find a spot to park the car on the road nearby but we managed to be within a few yards of the house. Local amenities are brilliant with an incredible choice of restaurants, bars and takeaways. Similarly the local shops, including a large COOP, offer a wide range of goods at competitive rates. There was more than enough to do within half a mile of the cottage to keep you entertained with superb places to visit such as Batsford Arboretum. Lovely stay - highly recommended!

• "The cottage is ideally located in the centre of the village and is full of character."

  Yes there are extractor fans from adjacent restaurants (as mentioned in other reviews) but they did not cause an issue. Parking was also no problem in the council car park which uses an app so you could easily extend the parking duration without having to visit the car park. Kitchen was well equipped but the chopping board had mould on so we didn't use it and it needs replacing. L shaped sofa in lounge was clean but difficult to get up from as it was so deep but was comfortable. Lovely light conservatory and safe enclosed garden make this property ideal for dogs. However garden could benefit from being tidied up and removing some unnecessary items (there were 2 barbecues and the chimnea!) Also the conservatory roof had rather a lot of moss on the glass which needs removing. Whilst all of the interior doors shut some would not stay shut (back bedroom) as the latch would not engage. Great to have a downstairs toilet in addition to the main bathroom (shower which was not slippery and didn't leak as stated in another review) but should provide spare toilet rolls. In the listing it states the stairs are steep and may be difficult for people with limited mobility - I would not describe the stairs as steep and were very easy to use. - We enjoyed our stay at Inglenook Cottage with our 2 dogs as it was ideally located to explore the village and was full of character. It was probably the nicest cottage we have stayed in for a long time. However it could just benefit from some minor maintenance to maintain a high standard.

  We have stayed at many cottages in Bourton on the water, but this didn't reach the standard of the others. Just basic things like extra rubbish bags or toilet rolls would have made a difference. Carpet on upstairs landing definitely needs cleaning, assume someone has had dogs there. It shows!!

• "Parking was a major unexpected expense."

  It should have come with some prearranged concessions, from the local carpark. The close proximity to the burger bars and Italian restaurant meant that there was a constant smell of cooking meat/ food wafting into the property until late at night, with the windows open. The overall presentation of the cottage compared to others we've stayed in was one of needing some tlc and upgrading.

  Thank you for your feedback. Due to Inglenook Cottage's central location the smells from the local amenities are out of the owners control. Bourton-On-The-Water is a desirable tourist location, due to this we are afraid parking cannot be pre-arranged and we do mention that the property does not have allocated parking on the listing.

  We had a lovely week here and would love to return . We were very grateful to Patsy the owner for sorting out a problem we had on arrival that was totally down to Sykes lack of communication. Overall the cottage is well equipped clean and welcoming . If I was being picky I would say the worktops by the cooker were greasy when we arrived and the L shaped sofa is not comfortable because it tips you back and is extremely soft . The courtyard garden is charming but could do with the dead plants snd weeks removing . A vegetable knife and peeler would have been a useful addition to the kitchen . On the plus side the beds were the best I’ve ever had in a rented property- so comfortable !!!!! The parking wasn’t a problem - we used the council car park just on the outskirts of the village and it’s free from 6pm - 8am . We would totally recommend this charming cottage in a wonderful location .

• "The sweet cottage was unfortunately poorly maintained."

  The furniture in the living room is badly sagged, you sink down very low on the floor and cannot get comfortable. Apart from that, the seat cushions smell unpleasant. The surfaces in the kitchen and living room and also in the conservatory were sticky, the doors, light switches and furnishings were stained and the mirror in the upstairs bathroom was poorly cleaned . There were still water splashes and fingerprints from previous occupants on it. The equipment in the kitchen is also far from adequate. The pans and pots were dirty and scratched, so we didn't cook here. The cosy courtyard is unfortunately flooded with food smells all day through the adjacent restaurant by the extractor fan system. It is noisy and smells of greasy food fumes. We could not relax here. But I still have one positive feedback: the beds are very comfortable.

  We are sorry you didn’t enjoy your trip to Bourton on the water , unfortunately this in the centre of the village which is great if you want to be in the middle of everything as it is close to all the restaurants and amenities which suits some people but not others. We are a little disappointed that you didn’t enjoy your stay at the cottage as we usually get such good reviews but we understand everyone’s taste is different We were there at the changeover so know the worktops were cleaned with flash kitchen cleaner so if anything may have still been wet with cleaner. The sofa has just had a professional upholstery deep clean. Less than a month ago so we were surprised to hear your comments on this and it doesn’t sink to the floor as suggested, it’s designed that way. The Kitchen is very well equipped with more than the basics for self catering accommodation and we try to replace pans when necessary but unfortunately they do sometimes get slightly scratched from guests use. But these are checked after each use and cleaned when needed. We will look at this . We are sorry you didn’t enjoy tyou that all will be rectified soon.

  The best thing is it’s location, right in-front of the water front and it’s on an alley with only pedestrian access so you will not feel any traffic noise. I got a text promptly from the owner Patsy before our travel and it was nice of her to offer a late checkout even without we asking . Every attraction is just a stone throwaway and also the restaurants are literally next door. The little cosy cottage will be comfortable for a small family .The wood fire was a very nice addition and so is the dining room in conservatory. Grocery store Londis is just couple of mins away on the high street. The best thing was we took an early morning walk along the stream with not many around and it’s a sight to behold with the ducks and birds chirping. This was possible because we had the stream so close to the cottage . Cheers ! Vasu

• "Shabby, uncomfortable and in desperate need of an update."

  We were so disappointed we left a day early. Tired decor, dirty sofa, shower that leaked, uncomfortable & small beds and an overwhelming fusty smell. One bedroom door couldn’t even shut as the bed took up most of the room. The photographs in the advert do not reflect the real life version. We were not informed prior to our stay that the village carpark was being resurfaced so ended up having to move our car multiple times a day due to parking time restrictions. When I asked the owner about it she was unhelpful and didn’t seem bothered. We have also been charged ‘extra’ on our return as the owner found dog hair (our dog is non shedding so this was obviously not from him) and also complained that we used a towel under his water bowl (trying to keep the floor from getting wet) - ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A DOG FRIENDLY COTTAGE!!! The owner even saw me with our dog when we arrived despite saying we hadn’t informed her that we were taking one?!?! All in all a really disappointing stay.

  We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay at the cottage, and it wasn't in the style you would have liked. However, we are disappointed that you felt you had to post this review. We were not made aware that you were bringing a dog with you. If we had known, we could have provided special blankets and towels for you to use for your dog and on the furniture, to enhance your pet’s stay. We do our very best to be a pet friendly property, in return we do ask pet owners to respect the pet policy guidelines set out by Character Cottages. Unfortunately, the owner didn't see your dog with you when you tried to check in an hour early and she offered up different places as parking solutions, as was not aware there was work on the car park. The cottage is decorated annually and updated according to its style. Both bedroom doors do shut, and they were both set up as 5 foot wide king size beds. As to any issues, we are not aware of any, we checked the shower and cannot see any leaks, we also had contact with you during your stay and nothing was mentioned. We hope that you were able to enjoy the central location and exploring the local area. Property Owner

  Thank you for your feedback and we're delighted you enjoyed your stay at Inglenook Cottage. Thank you for bringing the issues regarding the garden to our attention - we are aware and will be rectifying this as soon as possible. Property Owner

• "Very pleasant stay."

  The cottage is small but not cramped and lived up to expectations. Excellent location for most facilities. No serious criticisms at all. A spare key would be helpful to be left in the key safe. Also, rubbish collection. There were no detailed instructions so we left it with the previous weeks rubbish by the back gate. No problem with that as collection is fortnightly but no indication when (or how!) Car parking was easier than expected if attempted around 4.30p.m. Unlimited parking in Victoria Street and from 4.30p.m to 10.30a.m. up the far end and to the right.

  Many thanks for this lovely feedback and we're delighted you enjoyed your stay at Inglenook Cottage. We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner

• "We enjoyed our stay at Inglenook cottage."

  It was cosy, compact, homely, and an amazingly peaceful haven off the busy High Street. The charming conservatory dining room leading into a small enclosed garden was perfect to relax in after a busy day out. Good shower and comfortable beds. Second bedroom a bit tight round the bed. Perfectly placed for restaurants, cafes, tea rooms and Londis convenient for groceries. We were lucky to find on street parking on Victoria Street, for the 4 days we were there. The location is fantastic, great base. Thanks Patsy for the pint of milk you left us. would love some sugar too:)

  Thank you for this lovely review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Inglenook Cottage and found the garden relaxing at the end of the day. It is indeed a great location and it's good you found the parking to be no problem. We hope to welcome you again. Property Owner

• "Lovely, clean cottage in a fantastic location."

  Only little comment, there is only minimal crockery and cutlery for a group of 4 adults. We had to buy dishwasher tablets on the second day as only 3 provided for the full week. Would be better to double up on mugs, plates etc, to cut back on using the dishwasher twice a day. We would definitely return.

  Thank you for providing this feedback and also for raising the issues of insufficient crockery and cutlery. We hope this didn't impact on your stay and that we can welcome you back again. Property Owner

  The. Cottage is homely & comfortable. The slightly uneven floors show the character of the cottage. The conservatory dining room is beautiful and the small garden is perfect for relaxing in the late afternoon/early evenings. Highly recommended & hope to return.

  Having the downstairs WC was a great help, my husband has reduced mobility this property was perfect for us. Parking for free overnight for all next to birdland and free all day for Blue badge holders or download parking app if needed. Thank you we had a lovely break away in Bourton-on-the-Water.

  The location is excellent. Everything needed is right on the doorstep. The cottage is warm and comfortable and a welcome bottle of wine was waiting for us. The owner was very quick to reply when we had a WiFi problem at the beginning. There was good communication before the holiday with instructions for parking and the key safe. Even though we had rather bad weather during our week there, the cottage made up for it. Highly recommended.

  . We found it extremely comfortable and a pleasure to come back to after discovering what else was at our footstep. We loved the location within the beautiful village of Bourton on the Water. Lots of eateries within a short stroll if you don't want to cook or travel too far. The proximity to other villages was also perfect. I especially loved the walks we could do in the surrounding areas. Great for couples, a small family, or friends.

• "We spent a wonderful Easter weekend in Bourton on the Water."

  Inglenook Cottage is in a great location. The cottage itself is beautifully furnished with lovely comfortable beds & sofas and is well equipped for families. The little courtyard garden was a bonus & a lovely place to sit & relax. There are plenty of things to do in Bourton on the Water & it has a great choice of restaurants, cafes & shops. The riverside setting is stunning & whilst it does get busy, it’s still a lovely relaxing place to be. Although there isn’t any parking at the cottage itself, it wasn’t a problem as we unloaded the car at the cottage & then parked at Rissington Rd car park which is only a 5 minute walk along the river. We paid in advance online for the weekend (£6.50 p/day & free after 3pm) so it was no hassle. Overall, we had a fantastic weekend & we will definitely book Inglenook Cottage next time we come to stay here.

• "This is a great town home style cottage only steps away from Windrush ."

  ... Water only steps away. Keeping in mind that we traveled during the hottest summer in years, and right in the middle of the height of tourist season(!); this was a great escape. No a/c for concerned westerners...but ample fans and cool nights made up for that... and though steps away from all the action...quiet retreat. The small back garden is a wonderful respite, great variety of entertainment (DVD, Satellite, Netflix and Cable)... kitchen was well stocked and all appliances were just right for a stay... though a bit crushed by the crowds and toasted by the heat... staying at Inglenook convinced us that we want to return to Bourton. A great place -- you won't be disappointed! Will not come during tourist season... really a problem as busloads of tourists would arrive in the morning and camp out by the river -- with large chairs, boom boxes, inflatable pools -- at the end of the day trash littered the banks. But...someone came by in the evening and cleaned it all up. Once the busloads left (around the end of the day) -- quiet... by 10 p.m. at night... completely quiet, beautiful setting, but we won't return this time of year, but we WILL return! Inglenook -- however -- is a great 2 BR cottage with VERY nice neighbors! (Candy shop... Salon... Tea House and Pub -- what else do you need?!).
