"A very well equipped cottage in a good village location."
Everything was supplied from kitchen utensils to board games and DVD's. We did have to ask the owner to turn up the heating during our stay as it wasn't warm enough and he obliged. I would recommend this property to anybody wanting to stay in the Cotswolds.
Thank you Alan for the great feedback. Glad we were able to adjust the heating to your satisfaction. Property Owner

"We have had an amazing stay at Hayloft."
This is a fabulous property, fitted to the highest standards with everything you may need for your stay. And when I say everything, I mean everything. Superb kitchen, we like to cook in all the time, which made me feel jealous compared with my own! Cosy details everywhere, nice location, minimal road noise in the early hours which didn’t affect our stay. Just relax and enjoy.
Thank you Joan for your glowing review; so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"This was one of the nicest houses we have stayed in and we have stayed in lots."
I would agree with all the previous comments. It was beautifully clean and a perfect position. If you fancy taking the bus it’s just down the road. The local pub, the Old George Inn had good pub grub and the local Co Op was very well stocked. Also the fish and chip shop was great. Couldn’t fault anything!
Thank you Lynn for those lovely comments; makes it all worthwhile! So glad you enjoyed your stay. Look forward to welcoming you back on another occasion. Property Owner

"The owners of this property have provided everything you could possibly need for a short stay."
It is super clean, tastefully decorated and furnished with good quality fixtures and fittings and kitchen equipment. Everything worked as it should. A file was provided with information on how to operate any kitchen equipment and the heating, lots of leaflets on neighbouring attractions and books and games. Parking in front of the house. Just perfect.

"Superb place!"
Fully modernised tastefully with top quality fittings and furnishing. Location in a lovely Cotswold village short walking distance from pubs, Co-op and chippie. Easy journeys to places of interest in the area. Highly recommended.

"Wonderfully tranquil place to stay."
IMMACULATE. Beds and couches very comfortable. Kitchen fully equipped, even provided cleaning materials, kitchen roll etc. (which I have never came across before when self catering). The array of teas including DECAF TEA and COFFEE was a lovely touch as was the Wine, cake and milk on arrival. Peter and Hazel's understanding of what the customer needs is clear with leaflets, menus and a very comprehensive Instruction Manual provided. I loved the review of the surrounding pubs. Thank you, as our son is a member of the sailing club, we hope to be back.
Thank you for the lovely comments, so glad you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back on another occasion. Property Owner

Excellent holiday cottage ---everything that was required was there ---having stayed in over 30 cottages over the past 10 years this is the only one were all the info about heating -ovens -tv etc were all in a nicely bound book ---normally one has to hunt through drawers to find the info on loose sheets ---highly recommended
Richard thank you for your feedback; so pleased that you had an enjoyable week to celebrate your birthday. Your comments regarding the information book is welcomed; we had hoped it would be helpful. Property Owner

"We stayed at Hayloft Cottage in February 2024 and really loved it there, it is really fabulous."
The moment we walked through the front door we just knew we would feel at home here. Refurbished to its current specification with obvious care and attention, the property is light and spacious, the decoration and furnishings have also been considered in the same way. Everything you need for an enjoyable stay is here. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Hayloft Cottage. South Cerney is a very nice village with a Co-Op within walking distance and a Delicatessen called Braai House that is well worth a visit, their cooked breakfast is stunning! Hayloft Cottage is an ideal base to explore the area, walking or otherwise. Oxford and Bath are within easy reach, and Cirencester is a stones throw away. Book Hayloft Cottage, you will not be disappointed.
Thank you Gaynor; it was a pleasure meeting you and Glyn. So glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your lovely comments which are much appreciated. Look forward to welcoming you back on another occasion. Property Owner

"This property is exceptionally good."
Possibly the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in. The owners left lovely treats for us, and other generous provisions too. Very warm, cosy, comfortable and clean. In a great location too. Outstanding!
Thank you Rosy; great to have your positive feedback and glad you had an enjoyable stay. Property Owner

"Excellent stay because it was obvious that the owner really cares about the people that stay."
Upon arrival the house was in perfect condition and has we noticed it had been renovated to an excellent standard, combining old and new. The owners are clearly proud of it and have left a photobook showing the work that had been carried out. A bottle of fresh milk and a nice cake were left for us, which makes a huge difference after a long road trip. So many places don't bother with this simple gesture but it makes the world of difference. The owner was quick to reply to any questions too. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, especially with at least one good pub in easy walking distance. Very tiny observation is that we could have done with bigger towels, but that's me scratching around for something to improve. What's not to like?
Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback. These comments are very helpful. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the suggestion over the towels which we will consider. Property Owner

"Really love few days staying at Hayloft Cottage with friends."

Really pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for your comments. Property Owner

"We had a hard time finding the cottage, but after passing it a couple of times, we got there."
We also had to park on a very busy street with road work going on. Off-road parking would have been helpfull. The cottage was, however, in pristine shape, comfortable and warm.
Many thanks for your comments. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
-

"This is our second visit and everything was as wonderful as before - the cottage is pristine, beautifully furnished and very well equipped."
Our hosts could not have been more welcoming and we particularly appreciated the hamper of goodies we found on arrival. The cottage is located in a beautiful little village - with 3 fabulous pubs (with food), a great fish and chip shop and post office with cafe (particularly great for breakfasts). We shall definitely be returning next year.

"Beautiful conversion of an old farm building in a picturesque village."
the cottage was well equipped for all your needs. Warm and cosy. Plenty to see and do in the area with information provided in the cottage. Cannot fault it and the thoughtful welcome package was a lovely suprise.

"Wonderful cottage, lovely large double bedroom and comfy kingsize bed."
Second downstairs smaller bedroom ideal for 1 adult. Fantastic kitchen equipped for every occasion with plenty of space for 2 or more to cook!! Living room and dining area very comfortable too, with lots of helpful guides, games, books, etc. Cottage felt very welcoming and cosy and was remarkably quiet for roadside cottage - very thick walls helped! No private parking, however street parking always just along the road. South Cerney a beautiful village with pubs, deli, shops within easy walking distance, and many interesting local walks to explore. An ideal location to explore the Cotswolds.

"This property was delightful, brilliantly equipped kitchen and many thoughtful touches to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of guests."
The courtyard was wonderful to enjoy the evenings, sitting outdoors comfortably. The photo book provided was fascinating and the information booklet gave us lots of great advice and information. We arrived exhausted and left restored after a brilliant week exploring the area and coming home to all the comforts the cottage provided. Note the use of the word home, it felt so welcoming. Thank you to the owners.
-

"We had a fantastic stay, there was absolutely nothing to fault at all."
The cottage has been beautifully renovated to a very high standard, with everything you could need for your stay. It’s located in a conservation area of a very pretty village with lots of amenities and also not to far from Cirencester, it was a perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds. We had a little goodie basket on our arrival and communication from the owners was excellent. We would definitely stay here again!
Thank you for the very positive feedback. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay."
The way the accommodation is laid out makes it feel very spacious. Two settees made it very comfortable! The kitchen is incredibly well equipped (apart from a full-size cafetiere) and a real joy to cook in. The village is lovely, very quiet and picturesque and there are walks from the village. Access to a co-op within walking distance was very handy.
Thanks for the positive feedback; noted your comment regarding the full-size cafetière which we will remedy. Property Owner

"A fantastic cottage renovated to a very high standard."
Very comfortable & equipped with everything you could possibly need. Lovely basket of goodies & basics of tea/coffee/milk/butter were left by hosts. Can highly recommend the property & the village of South Cerney.
-
"The Hayloft was exceptional with everything you would need for comfort and cleanliness."
Just a few issues, we couldn't tune into Sky or other some other channels on the tv. The cottage was cold during the day and the blind in the dining area needed fixing. Other than these few issues we enjoyed our stay very much.
-

The property is simply stunning, the photos don’t actually do it full justice, it is also the best equipped property we have ever stayed in with every possible thing you can think of from all of the kitchen facilities, crockery, utensils etc and even tea, coffee, biscuits etc to the thoughtful welcome pack There is also an abundance of leaflets and maps of places of interest locally, and a stock of entertainment items for cosy evenings in, the whole cottage has been finished to a very high standard Overall an extremely high quality property
-
"The owners could not have done anything better than they already have."
Everything in the cottage was pristine and worked perfectly. So much so that we have gleaned a few ideas for our own home! They had left a very informative set of information and instructions and we found the book of how the renovation took place of particular interest. We would wholeheartedly recommend this cottage as a wonderful place to stay, not only for what it is but also for the location and the surrounding area.
-
"Simply outstanding - The standard of finish of this new property was fantastic - Added to this everything thought about in terms of what was provided down to the detail of tissues in matching boxes."
The village was perfect - both pubs seem to need some more work post covid/brexit yo get up to scratch However Chippy and the Indian made up for it . We are walkers and the location was ideal for all the Cotswolds walks we wanted to do . Recommend totally

"What a fantastic cottage - we had such a great time we have already booked to stay again next year!"
The cottage is beautifully furnished and very well equipped with everything you need. The hamper of goodies was extremely generous. Best of all our hosts Hazel and Peter were so welcoming and friendly. The cottage is located in a beautiful village with every amenity including 3 pubs, a deli, a fish and chip shop and post office. We thoroughly recommend the George for a good pub meal and the fish and chip shop (which opens Thursday, Friday and Saturday). There are lots of beautiful Cotswold villages and towns to visit including Tetbury, Stow on the Wold and Burford and in the summer there is the nearby waterpark. As before, we had such a wonderful time, on our last day we booked to come again next year - what better recommendation is that?!

"Hayloft Cottage is a beautiful holiday home."
The cottage itself is so well appointed and Peter & his wife had done such a wonderful job providing a very thoughtful package of goodies for our arrival. South Cerney is a gorgeous little village and it is so easy to get to lots of Cotswold gems from there. There is a really helpful list of activities and restaurants/cafes in the cottage which helped us enormously. Would highly recommend this cottage for a fantastic break.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

"There is no question this cottage is one of the cleanest and well equipped places we've stayed in - comfortable beds, lovely bathrooms, amazing kitchen and a beautiful little courtyard at the back."
Every effort has been made to make our stay as easy possible from naughty treats on arrival to the more mundane essentials such as cleaning products and teabags! A great location for the water sports as well as easy access to the rest of the Cotswold's. 10 out of 10 from us! f

Lots of space to relax as a family of 4 and a lovely courtyard to sit out in when the sun was out. All mod cons, brilliantly equipped kitchen and excellent location for exploring the cotswolds.
