"Incredible little cottage would recommend to anyone."
We will be back A*
Thank you for your amazing feedback, it's lovely to hear you had a fabulous stay with us and we would love to welcome you again very soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"A pleasant cottage and Diane was very helpful."
However, over priced at £500 for approximately 36 hours over a weekend. Parking was an issue too, I had to park my car a considerable distance away from the property.
Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted you enjoyed the property and hopefully some of the wonderful sites in and around the area. We are sorry you couldn't find parking closer to the property, maybe in the future, it would be worth picking a property with off street parking, then you wouldn't have this worry next time. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Absolutely perfect little cottage."
Decorated beautifully, the space is ideal for one or two people and a great location for exploring the Cotswolds. Loved my stay there and was very sorry to leave! Can highly recommend and would absolutely book again without any hesitation.

"We enjoyed that the fact that the apartment retained the feel of it's ancient past while providing a very comfortable well appointed place to stay in the present with many delightful and thoughtful artistic touches."
We also enjoyed the friendly people of the beautiful village and the convenience of the nearby pub, grocery store and restaurants. It's proximity to nearby Cotswold villages and Cirencester make it a wonderful vacation destination.
Thank you for this lovely feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and also loved the location too. We look forward to welcoming you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"It was our second visit to The Snug in Minchinhampton, it is the loveliest and cosiest cottage to spend a holiday."
Dianne has thought of everything to ensure a peaceful and relaxing holiday and to totally get away from it all. Everything you need is there, from cooking and washing facilities, to books, magazines, board games and a super comfortable bed. We had an amazing stay, we will return!

"The Snug lived up to its name, lovely cosy, clean and comfortable cottage, felt immediately at home ."
Lovely and warm to walk into with a delicious plate of pastries waiting for us. The local pub and cafes were excellent and very friendly. Loved the character and decoration of the cottage however our only down point would be the stairs if anyone had mobility problems as they are steep. Nevertheless I would fully recommend a stay at the Snug and we very much hope to return ourselves .

"We had the best weekend at the snug, it is a gorgeous and very homely cottage, so nice we wished we could move in permanently!"
It had everything we needed and the little touches like the pastries and having the fire on when we arrived were lovely. The location was excellent, a few minutes wander down into the village with a lovely pub and cafe, and only a 10 minute walk across to the common with amazing views across the hills. The garden was perfect and fully enclosed which was great for our pooch who is a bit of an escape artist! However, the paving slabs in the garden were very slippery which was made worse when wet, so maybe they need to be power washed. Would absolutely recommend staying in the cottage and hope to return one day :)
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at The Snug No 35 West End. It sounds like you all had a wonderful time, including your furry friend. You are in a lovely location to explore the Cotswolds and we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed some of the many wonderful places to visit. We hope to welcome you back again very soon.

"My partner and I had a fantastic time at the Snug."
It oozes all the cozy Cotswold atmosphere that you could want. It was very well equipped, the bed was very comfortable and it was lovely and clean. It’s also in a great location and you’re not far from some lovely villages and towns. We would highly recommend and will be coming again soon!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, it's fabulous to hear you really enjoyed your stay with us. We agree, it's a great location to base yourselves and explore the Cotswolds. We would love to welcome you again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"I lOVED this property!"
So very beautiful and comfortable. An easy walk for parking and the high street with food options whether you were staying in or eating out. Early mornings for coffee and pastry in town with access to a lovely public footpath for an autumn walk. I did not have my pup, but there were several accommodations for a pup- with treats and towels etc. I hope to visit again!
Thank you so much for your very kind comments. We hope to welcome you, and your pup, back again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"We stayed for 7 nights in September."
The cottage was beautiful, exactly like the photos and spotlessly clean! It is in a lovely location, a short walk to all of the local amenities. We also appreciated the extra touches of the brownies and treats for the dog! Will definitely be returning! Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

"An excellent cottage - cosy, warm and very well equipped."
We really enjoyed our stay.
-
"The cottage is beautiful and clean,well equipped and had attention to detail with personal touches."
The host was there the minute you needed anything and nothing was too much trouble. We had a relaxing and comfortable stay in a beautiful village. Well worth it.

"One of the most beautiful and well looked-after rentals I have ever stayed in."
This unique cottage has been modernised and decorated to a very high standard with great attention to detail. We found it very comfortable. The stairs up to the bedroom need caution as highlighted but this is part of the charm. Very well equipped with everything we needed. Situated perfectly for strolling into lovely Minchinhampton village as well as rambling up on the common and around the other nearby villages. The beautiful and very private garden was a great perk as was the gas stove for warming up the living room quickly on rainy evenings. We didn’t have any problems with parking nearby. We found Dianne to be proactive with contact and were reassured she was on hand to help if needed. We found the water pressure in the bathroom a bit low but everything worked fine. The kitchen was very well-equipped with high end appliances (not that we did much cooking!). Our dog loved it too and was extremely welcome everywhere we went in the village and local area. Thanks again for the lovely treats for all of us on arrival and for a really memorable stay!
Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you had a great stay and your doggy too! Best wishes, Character Cottages Property Owner

"Fantastic 300 year old rural cottage on the heart of a truly chocolate box village, complete with meandering highland cows coming down the high street at the crack of dawn… all made the stay here very romantic and authentic."
Mind the very steep and uneven spiral stairs to the bedroom at night if your less mobile though! Would stay again. Thanks!
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are pleased that you loved your stay in The Snug and were even treated to a visit by the cows! We hope we can welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes Character Cottages Property Owner

"Delightful base, perfect for exploring the many Cotswold towns/villages."
The cottage was exactly as advertised and ideal for couples. Within minutes of arriving we were settled in the sunny and peaceful garden enjoying the brownies . Would thoroughly recommend. Thank you.
That's lovely feedback, we're so pleased you had a relaxing holiday. Best wishes, Character Cottages Property Owner

"Delightful character cottage and garden exactly as described."
So many nice touches that make it very special. Treats for Maude were much appreciated as was the delicious chocolate brownie for us. Relaxing by the stove of an evening was another plus. Every thing was on hand to make our visit a memorable one. Dianne has put in a lot of thought into making her cottage as welcoming and comfortable as possible. It was a pleasure to meet her.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. The owner will be very pleased that all her efforts are well appreciated. We hope we can welcome you back again. Best wishes Character Cottages Property Owner

"Unfortunately, we had an overall negative and stressful experience whilst staying at The Snug."
There is a gas fire in the property and on our second evening we smelt gas. The short story is that an emergency gas engineer arrived who discovered a carbon monoxide (CO) leak due to a fault with the flue. The CO detector in the property unfortunately did not detect this CO leak. The gas fire was deemed an immediate danger. We promptly vacated The Snug. Sykes Cottages offered for us to stay in a hotel, which we declined, as we were to attend A&E, due to my husband being symptomatic of CO exposure, and our home was within an hour's drive. I was also pregnant at the time and have had additional monitoring since due to CO exposure. We were understandably concerned with regards to the welfare of our unborn baby. Sykes have refunded our stay, but neither the owner nor Sykes, have simply said sorry for the situation that we found ourselves in. We won’t be using Sykes cottages again due to this experience
Thank you for your comments, we’re sorry to hear you feel this way. We take any health and safety issues extremely seriously as we understand that any potential breaches are a concern for guests and will always try to offer an immediate solution pending any investigations. We have detailed notes relating to this incident and received confirmation from a gas engineer that the gas fire was safe and a new gas safety certificate was issued. We can see from the notes on file that colleagues from our customer services team have been in contact and have followed up with you. Should you require anything further, please do let us know. Best wishes, Character Cottages Property Owner

"The cottage was delightful and very comfortable with everything you need."
Diane was always available if needed. Lots of nice touches. The basics are there eg oil, tea, coffee, sugar etc. Two lovely chocolate brownies. Thank you Diane.
We're so pleased that you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the sweet treats left by the owner. We look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, Character Cottages Property Owner

"I had a very relaxing stay at The Snug."
The cottage itself has been beautifully decorated and is very well equipped. You can tell that a lot of thought has gone into making sure you have a pleasant experience, from a lovely welcome gift and comprehensive house manual to simple things such as hooks in the right places and extra blankets. The cottage was spotless and is very well looked after by Dianne. I had expected some road noise due to the location. However, every morning, the only thing I could hear from the breakfast nook was the birds singing outside. I'd highly recommend this little retreat in Minchinhampton and would definitely stay again!
Thank you for your lovely comments. The owner will be very pleased that you appreciate her care. We hope to welcome to back again. Best wishes Character Cottages Property Owner

"The cottage is absolutely wonderful."
It's comfortable and cosy. Well designed with great thought to every little detail. Dianne was an amazing host from recommendations on where to eat to ensuring the cottage was warm on our arrival. Even our dog was made welcome with bowls towels and treats at the ready. We cannot recommend this place highly enough

"No 35 was absolutely perfect and the owner was very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed."
All the fittings are high quality and everything was spotless; its obvious great care has gone into its restoration and upkeep. The cottage has a real sense of history and so many little touches that make it feel like a home from home.

"Parking is a concern but then it’s the same for the majority of residents/visitors in Minchinhampton."
With regards to 35 WestEnd the space in the rear garden area could be redesigned behind the bathroom to create a larger sitting out area.
Thank you for your comments regarding parking and suggestions for improvement, which have been noted. We are sorry to hear you had some issues parking, this usually is not a problem. There is plenty of on-street parking nearby and details of this is provided for guests staying. We hope that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at No."
35 West End. The unit was perfectly charming from the beautiful decor to all of the quirks a centuries old home would have. From the gorgeous stone to the low ceilings to the beams overhead, we felt like we had gone back in time… but with the conveniences of modern day. Navigating the stairs was a little tricky in the beginning, but we got the knack for them after a couple of days. The kitchen had everything we needed, and it all worked well. Dianne left a fresh container of milk, delicious lemon cookies, and coffee/tea for us to arrive to. That was very welcomed after a long day of travel. Tip if you decide to stay here. There’s a power strip behind the microwave we temporarily plugged in to the left of the wash machine to use for hair styling tools closer to the bathroom mirror. It worked perfectly! We would stay in this cottage again if we came back to the area. If you happen to be in the area, watch for the cows roaming the streets. It was quite a treat to see that. We especially enjoyed the Highland cows on the commons. And make a stop or more to a restaurant called The Kitchen. Asumpta, the owner, makes you feel like an old friend.The food was delicious. We would definitely recommend this cottage and Minchinhampton in general. It was just what we needed.
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide this lovely feedback - and the local recommendations! We're delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back again. Property Owner

"My partner and I stayed at this wonderful cottage with our puppy."
Gorgeous property with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The owner has put a lot of thought into this property, ensuring all our needs were met. The bed was very comfy and we slept like babies. The stairs are narrow and steep, as described, which is to be expected in a 300 yr old cottage. The kitchen is very well equipped, with tea and coffee and even milk in the fridge. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the garden was perfect for our puppy to explore. The cottage is situated close to amenities, pubs and places to walk. Or just a short drive away is the town to pop to the local supermarket for supplies. We had an amazing stay and left feeling very rested and content. I cannot wait to visit again.
Thank you for providing such lovely feedback and we're delighted that you (and your puppy!) enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you again! Property Owner

"This is such a lovely cottage!"
Tastefully decorated, all mod cons required, super comfy bed, lovely little garden, dog friendly and also owner, Dianne, is so helpful and thoughtful. There is a lovely pub just a short walk away from the cottage as well as a butchers and a fish & shop for the nights that you want to eat out. The location is great as a base to travel to other villages in the cotswolds. Minchinhampton is one of the smaller villages in the cotswolds and is perfect if you just want to get away from it all and relax. We are looking forward to our next stay!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback. Fantastic to read you had such an amazing stay, that you enjoyed the location and we look forward to welcoming you back on your next stay. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at number 35."
The cottage has been beautifully renovated and tastefully decorated. It’s cosy and comfortable with everything that you could possibly need with lots of thoughtful touches. The garden was a bonus, sitting outside in the evening in total silence, you can hear a pin drop. Minchinhampton is a picture perfect small town and a great base to explore the surroundings. The owner was available if we had any problems, which we didn’t. A great find !
Thank you for your lovely feedback - we're so glad you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the garden too. We hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
