• "Lovely place to stay beautiful cottage."

  Relaxing and quiet

  Reviewed by Wendy5.0★Sep 2024

• "A lovely little cottage, well located for the main area of the Cotswolds and Gloucester/Cheltenham."

  If you have an EV, charge up elsewhere as there is no facility at the cottage at all. Quiet, warm and cozy, fine for a couple with pets, but could be a little 'too cozy' for four adults. Naunton has a superb pub, but be aware, Monday night food needs booking in advance (as we found out!) but is excellent the rest of the week; then again, Bourton on the Water is a ten minute drive away with plenty of food outlets (apart from Marston's pub that shuts the kitchen early for some reason!). Thoroughly recommended, would book again in a hearbeat.

  Thank you so much for your lovely words. Please come again and see us. We can arrange for you to charge your car from an external plug at our house. We are badly served for EV charging and it is a real problem. Property Owner

• "We loved the cottage it was very cosy and clean."

  We did miss a place to put outdoor shoes, wet coats and umbrellas. We felt that a small porch area would be an advantage.But, as we only had one bad day it wasn't that much of a problem. For winter visitors we felt it would be necessary. The bedrooms were lovely and the beds very comfortable. The neighbours were friendly and it was great to have the Black Horse pub so near, with it's amazing food and brilliant staff.

  Thank you so much for your kind words. We wish we could put a porch too! Sadly the whole row is listed, we can’t even change the colour of the paint on the windows without permission. Thank you again Property Owner

• "We were very comfortable in this well appointed and clean cottage."

  Jayne certainly does her best to make you feel at home with her extra little touches. We loved the log burner, so cosy on those wet and miserable days. The central heating is also very efficient. This cottage is set in a peaceful village where everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The Black Horse pub has wonderful food and Ash (bartender) is extremely efficient in looking after the customer. An ideal location for visiting and exploring the Cotswolds. We had a very relaxing time, thank you Jayne.

• "Gleed Cottage is very warm and cosy, well cared for, with all the essentials you need."

  The welcome pack was much appreciated and enjoyed. The only downside was the enclosed garden does not have a grass area for dogs and it would only keep a small dog in.

  Thank you for your review and we're glad you found the cottage to be warm and cosy. We hope the description of the garden wasn't misleading - it is described as an enclosed patio garden and hopefully the photo does show this clearly. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

• "Jayne is awfully kind, the cottage was immaculately cleaned upon arrival, and the welcome packet is sublime."

  And I find it hard to write the rest, as we found the cottage disappointing. The kitchen is tiny, the fridge is way too small if, like me, you order groceries for 5 days. It does just fit 2 days, at most. The kitchen lacks storage space, some shelves above the fridge would have made a positive difference. Downstairs in general is on the small side, upstairs is better, but without any proper wardrobes. Hooks on the wall instead. The windows throughout are difficult: some open, some don’t or miss the iron work to keep them open. The fire place doesn’t work properly, we ended up with the front door wide open to let the smoke get out of the front room. Not what you hope for on a chilly evening. All in all rather uncomfortable and disappointing.

• "Not a suitable cottage for the winter as the front door do not close properly, the electric heating system was ineffective and some of the windows did not open."

  I am so sorry you were cold! We are aware that the front door is warped but as the property is grade 2 listed we have to have planning permission to change the door and it has to be exactly the same! We have put a curtain over the door and a draft excluder which should have helped. I have checked the heating and it is all working, the maximum ambient temperature it goes up to is 30 degrees. I would have made every effort to come over immediately had you called, it is horrid being cold. I have since checked all the windows and they all open as they should. We only just recently had the windows double glazed and if there is a problem I'd like to know so I c an take it up with glaziers. The kitchen window is the only one remaining that isn't double glazed but the handle to open it is in the window sill. Again I am so sorry you were cold. Property Owner

• "The cottage was in a perfect position for us wanting to travel around the area - The local Pub The Black Horse (2 mins away) was fantastic ."

  ..good welcome, great food and super value !! The cottage is comfortable and as would be expected for a property of that age! As people of no experience with wood burning fires we did have a few difficulties initially !!! There were only two of us staying in the cottage and did not really have enough hot water - which only seemed available in the morning? We tried the dishwasher but it did not seem to heat up at all so did not really clean !!.......I am sure we could have asked but we decided not to bother as we were only there for a few days !! totally our decision!! but just for future clients ..........

  A case of better late than never! Thank you for your kind words, the dish machine had gone wrong!, anyway we have now replaced it so when you come again you will have a problem Property Owner

• "We had a lovely relaxing peaceful stay at Gleed Cottage with our two dogs."

  We explored the local area and fell in love with the Cotswolds. The Black Horse pub 100m along the road was friendly and welcoming with good ale and excellent food and dog friendly.The cottage itself is perfect and just what we expected, it still retains its character and is warm and comfortable. The duvets and linen were to die for, made it hard to get out of bed! On our next visit we must remember our slippers, the flagstone floor, original I think, was a bit chilly once shoes were off. That is not a criticism just a reminder for us and other guests who visit this little treasure. A big thank you to owner Jayne, we will return.

  Thank you for your kind comments. I’ll put the comments re the slippers on my notes for future guests, Thank you for being such lovely guests (four paws too) Property Owner

  The cottage is cosy and full of character. The log fire was perfect and much appreciated by our 2 dogs after a long walk around the stunning scenery.

  Well equipped and in a nice location. I must admit I was a bit unsure about parking on the road before we arrived, but it wasn’t a problem at all. Garden was very well enclosed, so it was great for our little dog. The welcome goodies were a thoughtful touch. We went to the local pub a couple of times and it was very good. Super walks around the village and beyond which were all well signposted. Bedding was supremely comfortable. All in all, super!

• "Gleed cottage is a lovely and charming cottage to stay at and Naunton a wonderful village to stay in."

  And the Cotswolds a great part of England with lots of charming flowery and picturesque villages. Very good for hiking, wich we just love to do. Jayne and her husband are wonderful people, very helpful and very kind to our dog, too : ) The few downsides of Gleed cottage however was the luke warm water of the shower, the lack of cozy and warm light downstairs and for tall people, like ourselves, the double bed unfortunately was way too small. But probably this is just us. But inspite of the few downsides, I would certainly still book Gleed cottage again.

• "Cottage ideally situated in a stunning village about 10 minutes drive from Bourton-on-the-Water."

  Some essentials in the fridge on arrival which were much appreciated after a long drive. We stayed with our small toddler and dog. The garden was lovely and a BBQ is on site to use. A number of steps downstairs made things tricky with the baby, as did the open balustrades both downstairs and upstairs. A baby gate was provided but it was missing pieces to attach it to the wall(!). However, given this is a period property, this is somewhat to be expected but just something to note if you're planning to bring babies or toddlers. Cleanliness was also a bit of an issue: the surfaces in the cottage were dusty on arrival, the carpets hadn't been vacuumed upstairs and there was dirty cutlery in the kitchen drawers. We also found clothing from a previous guest in one of the bedroom cupboards..!

• "Lovely cottage very clean and great location."

  It would have been nice to have a visitors guide with owners local knowledge, I know you can look on your phone but there is so many great walks from the doorstep of the cottage which would have been useful to have. One bed was very hard and one very soft but the rest of the cottage was very comfortable. Some of the basics (for us) were missing, like coasters, placemats etc, I’m not one for putting cups on anything without a coaster is case any ring marks are left. Overall lovely cottage, clean and great location. Pub staff, as others have said are sooooo friendly. Great pub

  Lovely walks around and fantastic comfy, dog friendly pub a few steps away with amazing food. Was welcomed by some tasty goodies which is always a bonus. Only downsides were: walls are quite thin so could hear neighbours who clearly have a mischievous dog so we actually found it quite amusing ;D and a few extra logs would have been nice for time year. No major issues though plenty of lovely towns and villages within Short driving distances with small local shops aswell as bigger supermarkets. Would definitely choose to stay again if heading back down that way

  Lovely fresh bread, jam, butter and milk on arrival was a welcome touch. The bedrooms were large and spacious. The Black Horse pub was a stone's throw away and the staff there were really friendly. The food and company were amazing. The thing that let it down and wasn't good was how cold the house was on arrival. It was a bitterly cold day in January with a check-in time of 5pm yet the heating had been turned down to just 13 degrees. It took ages to warm the house up. It's not like we weren't expected as we'd kept in regular contact by email.
