"We were only staying for a couple of days but could happily have stayed longer."
The garden was secure for my dog who is extremely good at escaping and the accommodation was perfect. I would definitely look to come back
-
"An excellent place to stay in a very beautiful part of the country."
Very quiet, very comfortable and exceptionally clean and modern. A surprise find in the middle of the countryside.. Perfect for dogs with enclosed grass area, easy parking, everything you would need is provided. Remember to travel one mile along the country lane from the main road. I would highly recommend this property and I will go back again.

"This was booked as a treat from my son & what a treat it was."
The only problem we had was finding the place . The place was beautifully furnished & clean, a real home feeling with a few ornaments & pictures. The garden at the front safe for children to play. The pub up the road very good we arrived before opening time for dinner & the chef said we could order our meal no problem. Stratford upon Avon what a place easy to get too with free parking at the park & ride

"It is a lovely place, nice and quiet."
Just what we were after. Everything we needed was there. The only thing that stopped us from giving 5 stars was the bed. The mattress doesn't seem to fit the bed properly and it felt like you were about to roll off the edges. The pillows were also very uncomfortable. The garden was lovely and big, so our two big dogs could run around to their hearts' content. And I would love to know what that tree was that smelled so delicious. We will come back for sure.

"The cottage was very modern and we enjoyed the stay."
Only thing I would suggest is a cob web brush, we had quite a few and I got the big brush out, to sweep them away! Not a moan, we all get spiders!! Otherwise I think everything was there you could need! Plenty of cupboards to pack away everything!

"Excellent."

"Really lovely place to stay, furnished to a high spec, would help to have a welcome manual explaining the appliances and owners rules in more detail."
Adding a few more kitchen utensils such as a mixing jug and a small mixing bowl and a larger fish slice would help, also a new peeler as the one there was difficult to use and slightly dangerous as I nicked myself. The place itself is situated in lovely peaceful countryside and is fantastic for dog and people walking. The outside space is great for dogs as they can run around the spacious green totally secure and safe. Myself my Husband and Molly our pointer cross really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property. Thank you for a lovely base for our holiday.

"Lovely property and location which is very well maintained and extremely suitable for our little puppy as well."
Unfortunately we decided to cut our stay short as the double bed seemed super small, especially for the size of the room, and the mattress was extremely uncomfortable, very soft and unsupportive, especially on the edges that we had a terrible nights sleeps for two nights and were lucky not to actually roll out, not ideal on a short break that was supposed to be a relaxing getaway, hence why we left early. Also the sofa wasn’t very comfy either which was a shame. We are both average sized adults so nothing out of the ordinary. Only other constructive suggestions would be a smart TV so streaming / casting is an option, especially as you already have good WiFi and boosters, and finally we couldn’t find any oven gloves so may be a good addition. A few small changes and we would definitely return in the future but unfortunately it didn’t work for us on this occasion.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hoden View, it’s in a lovely area with nice country walks right on the doorstep."
We had a couple of issues that arose but these were dealt with by the owners straight away and in a professional manner.
-
"Holiday stay was excellent,clean, comfortable, well furnished and most of all Peacefully quiet."
Only spoilt by persistent rain. Will try to visit again.

"What an absolutely amazing property and location!"
Right on the edge of the Cotswolds we managed to fill every day of our stay with amazing fun and adventures exploring the surrounding villages towns and attractions. We were literally blown away by the area and can’t speak any higher of it . The property itself is as stated in previous reviews amazingly presented in the most beautiful quiet setting with everything you could possibly need . Super clean and very comfortable. We are very much looking forward to booking again in the future very best wishes and thank you again .

Absolutely fantastic place We will definitely be coming back here It made it that more special woth the massive garden that was all fenced in fir the dog to run around with freedom He also loved it there
-
"We had a lovely stay pleasantly surprised with the accommodation."
. We did have trouble finding it didn’t realise how long the lane was, but that was our issue . When we were there we found it very peaceful and relaxing/
-
"Lovely property;very peaceful setting ."
Altogether excellent. Your administration was very good.! Thank you. A suggestion is thin duvets in the summer, these are never supplied and would make an enormous difference!
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Holden View."
The location is lovely and peaceful and the cottage is beautifully converted and stylishly furnished. Our dog was very happy in the patio area, and loved playing in the grassy area with the dog staying next door. Both beds were really comfortable and the shower superb. It was very hot while we were there, but sitting under the lovely willow tree was perfect.
Thank you for your feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay ! You certainly had fabulous weather ! Property Owner
-
"Hoden View is a sweet, spacious, and secluded cottage with good views of the countryside."
It that had all the amenities we needed for our weekend. The cottage was very clean and our bed comfortable for a few nights restful sleep. The kitchen has all the equipment we could have wanted too, even gin glasses! I used the oven a few times, it cooked evenly which is always nice. We visited the local pub with our dogs for a drink, enjoyed the walk and the pubs garden although we didn't eat there. The garden at Hoden View is very well kept and my dogs enjoyed exploring it.
Thankyou for your positive feedback , we’re glad you enjoyed your stay with us ! Property Owner

"We stayed here for 4 nights over the April bank holiday and the place was clean, beautiful, quiet, relaxing and just what we needed."
The accommodation was modern but also really does cater for dogs with an outside space and grass for them to run on. The host was very pleasant and popped to check we were comfortable and if there was anything we needed. I would definitely recommend this place and will be visiting again.
Thankyou for your feedback and we’re glad you enjoyed your stay ! Property Owner
-
"PERFECT. We had the most lovely week - so peaceful."
Beautiful countryside, but plenty to do nearby, and the cottage was so clean, stylish and welcoming. Thanks so much.
Thank you for your review! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again ! Property Owner

"Single bed definitely not suitable for an adult, although I was told otherwise prior to booking."
Bed linen on both beds needs to be of a more generous size. Not sure when property was last used but you could write your name on the bathroom radiator due to amount of dust and a lot of the crockery was unclean. Also not a great selection of kitchen items available. The two slabs outside the gate to property were uneven and loose, causing a member of our party to fall. No information provided at all on local amenities etc. Needless to say we definitely wouldn’t return to this property and left a day early.
Sorry to hear this we have now taken up the slaps outside the property , we put them down to accommodate a previous visitor in a wheelchair The bed is a standard 3 ft single bed with standard size sheets but I will certainly look at deeper sized sheets Apologies for the dusty radiator if you had contacted me I would of sent a cleaner over as I expect high standards I have also put the visitors book back in with information on local amenities in it Property Owner
-
"We had a very nice stay with some very muddy walks with the dogs due to all the rain."
The only thing I feel would help other people with dogs would be an outside hose so when we got back we could of hosed the mud off the dogs instead we had to use bowls of water which took a long time due to having two dogs. Lovely barn would be happy to return
Sorry to hear that. If you had asked we do have an outside hose outside the main barn you could of used Property Owner
-
"It is a lovely property in a quiet area, dog friendly, facing a green meadow with trees, a beautiful willow in particular."
It was not very easy to find. (a sign in the lane would have helped) but we were comfortable, had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend.
-
"The property was done to a high standard The bed was to soft and uncomfortable ..."
The property was done to a high standard The bed was to soft and uncomfortable It would be handy if she left a folder with amenities in it so you know we're shops chippy etc was The villages were lovely and so many great places to visit
Thank you for the review , sorry you found the bed uncomfortable however it is brand new We did have a folder but got advised to remove it during Covid , thank you for the reminder to put it back Property Owner

"What can I say apart from exceeded expectations, cottage catered for all our needs and more, cleanliness exceptional facilities exceptional, beautiful cottage and grounds."
. a welcome bottle of wine and cookies a wonderful touch. Alison and Noel amazing hosts, never a problem getting in touch with Alison. Best dog friendly holiday we have ever had. Will DEFINITELY be going back. Can’t recommend enough. Thank you Alison and Noel. 10/10
Thanks for the positive feedback ! Property Owner

"We had an amazing time in the property, very clean and modern, most important they were dog friendly."
They provided everything you need plus a nice welcoming pack including a bottle of wine and goodies. Good size rooms and lovely enclosed garden, ideal for dogs. Extremely satisfied , 100% recommend this property
-
"Hoden View is ideally located for a visit to the Cotswolds."
Set in a lovely countryside location with a large garden and privacy. We really enjoyed our stay in this well appointed barn conversion. Recommended.
-
"Lovely quiet location as in previous feedback beds are too small and sofa looks nice but not comfortable"
-
"Lovely house , everything you needed would definitely go back ."
Only thing as in a previous review the bed is small and mattress very soft . The bedroom is large and could easily accommodate a bigger bed .
Sorry you found the beds too small but they are a standard double and single size . I have bought a new firmer single mattress and it will be arriving next week , however the double mattress is new and medium support Property Owner

"We had a lovely Christmas stay at Hoden View."
The accommodation was spotless and had everything I could have asked for. The secure and sizeable garden was a total treat for my dog. There were some lovely personal touches made for our stay such as a Christmas tree and a Christmas welcome box which were much appreciated.
-
"A beautiful place to stay we loved it and so did our little dog's love it, we were really lucky with the weather good for November a lovely part of the country."
-
"This is a lovely property set in a very peaceful location in the countryside."
The property contains quality fixtures and fittings and there is a great secure area if you have dogs.The only downside for us was the very small bed resulting in us not sleeping well.
-
"Super property."
Perfect for our two big dogs, with a private secure paved area and a further secure grassed area beyond that. Clean, comfy, well equipped. We had a problem with Internet, and owner came round immediately to remedy. We will be returning.
-
"This us our 2nd time at this cottage, we booked both for 2 families to meet up."
We have had minor issues with the heating in both but each has an electric heater It's ideal for dogs as each cottage has its own paved area securely fenced, plus a wooded area perfect for pre walk ball throwing. The owner, Alison is very friendly and helpful. This location is perfect if you want to holiday with friends but want your own space. I highly recommend it.
-
"Property was clean, smart and as described."
Shower was excellent. For us, the lounge area was a little bit style over comfort. Fridge design reduced capacity and sofa not the most comfortable, unless you have very long legs and a short back. Good outside space, rural location. Excellent pub, Kings Arms, 1 mile down the lane in village. Quality pub food, not Gastro. Popular, need to book. In general, it would be nice if Sykes could get property owners to agree a common list of items provided, as we never know what to load in the car. At this property, no replacement bin liners were provided.
-
"Fantastic mini break, facilities for our dogs were great would recommend Thank you"
-
"We had a brilliant week, the accommodation exceeded our expectations."
We had an exceptionally hot week and the owners drove some distance to provide us with sun umbrellas for outside. There were a couple of things the cleaners had overlooked, very minor and the owners were straight round to rectify. It was very peaceful, just what we needed as we are very busy normally. We slept really well there and had a better bathroom than we have at home! The owners left us a bottle of wine and infact came round with another one. The cooker was all gas and would suggest take games and books with you if needed. We would love another week there. We didn't want to leave. Thank you to the owners for wonderful accommodation.
-
"We had a great time untill Thursday, when major excavation work started."
It lasted all day and continued into the Friday. Very Noisy heavy machinary and a permanent bonfire which permeated everything. The owners who live just behind the accomadation did not give any warning or appology. When confronted the man said his wife would contact me. He also said the work was starting on the Thursday because new guest were arriving on the Friday. We felt we did not matter as we had already paid. I have waited a week and heard nothing. We could not understand why this work was taking place when they had paying guests. Surely it should have been done in 2020 when they could not have guests.
-
"The accommodation was lovely and clean, everything we needed was provided and even little extras, including a bottle of wine in the fridge as a welcome."
The shared garden area for both holiday lets was beautiful and very large, ideal for anyone with dogs, also with a lovely patio area just for our use, with bench and table.
-
"Lovely stay at Hoden View,accomodation was faultless,ideal base to explore surrounding areas,quiet location,would recommend to all."
-
"A lovely clean and well equipped lodge in a very peaceful location."
Once you found the lodge at the end of the lane, but the nice man in the garage, assisted us on the location.
-
"Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday."
Beautiful property very quiet and peaceful. Our two dogs thought the garden and the nearby walks were great. For us personally we found the double bed small as we are used to a king size and the sofa a little low. The property is extremely clean and very well maintained. Both Alison and Noel were very helpful in solving any queries. The wine and homemade biscuits were extremely appreciated.
-
"Absolutely stunning!"
Well presented and located for exactly my intentions for getting away and spending some quality time with my four legged friends. All in our element with great walks straight from the accommodation. Thank you for a well needed enjoyable break
-
"Beautiful accommodation equipped to a very high standard."
Paved fenced area outside the door with a large grassed area beyond also fenced, ideal for dogs, lovely walks straight from the cottage. Two cottages together, ideal for families to get together. Owner is on site, available if needed. Due to CV19 there were no information leaflets about local attractions etc so Wi-Fi came in handy. I had booked these cottages for May but because of travel restrictions had to change the dates, due to the website I had to book them seperately which caused great frustration and difficulty, I had the owners telephone number as I had already paid in full. Alison couldn't have been more helpful and understanding, circumstances permitting I would definitely book this property again.
-
"This is a fantastic cottage and would rate it a 10 but my wife and I found the bed uncomfortable."
A better mattress would raise this property up to 10 rating in my opinion
-
"Lovely cottage."
We rented it with the one next door for a group of 4 of us, which worked really well. The only thing I'd say is that it would have been nice to have another armchair in the living area.
-
"Excellent cottage, had everything you needed, soooo comfortable."
Would be nice if there had been a gate directly into the garden from the patio area but it wasn't a big problem just a suggestion.
-
"Really lovely stay."
Cottage had everything we needed while being set in a beautiful location for walks and easy access to local amenities. Brilliant Location for exploring local attractions like Broadway, Stratford.
-
"Hoden View is a clean, bright and well appointed cottage with all the amenities you need."
The owners had very kindly left a bottle of wine and some other provisions for us on our our arrival. There is ample parking and the cottage is nice and private. It is in easy reach of places of interest such as Broadway. There are plenty of footpaths and bridleways nearby which was great for us as we have a dog. Due to previous heavy rain many of the paths were very boggy - but that is hardly the fault of the owner. The cottage is situated down a single-track lane approximately 1 mile from the nearest village. Whilst it is nice and secluded, it is a bit of a trek on dark winter nights if you wish to visit the local pub. The furnishings and facilities are all first class. Our only slight criticism was the double bed which was a little too soft for our liking. We would definitely recommend Hoden View to other visitors, but it might be wise leaving it until the lighter nights when the walk to the pub would be more pleasant and the fields would be drier for walking the dog.
-
"The booking procedure was very professional, transparent and friendly."
The cottage itself was exactly as described and we enjoyed immensely.
-
"It would have been helpful to have a gate going directly into the field from the ..."
It would have been helpful to have a gate going directly into the field from the property as you had to go into the car park area and then in through another gate to enter the field
-
"Perfect in every way"
-
"Staying at Hoden View was an absolute delight."
It was very clean and comfortable and had absolutely everything we needed. I would 100% stay here again.
-
"Lovely quiet location, clean, comfortable and well equipped."
Good location for visiting N.T properties and Cotswold villages. Kings Arms (approx. 1 mile) serves good food, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Look forward to visiting Hoden View again.
-
"Unfortunately had to cut holiday short but we would definitely go back again to Hoden View."
This was our second holiday at this place and the accommodation was absolutely fantastic
-
"The cottage was excellent, very clean and well equipped."
It was in a very convenient spot for accessing all areas of interest and excellent for the dog - a lovely space to run around in and walks from the door. A minor complaint would be that there was nothing in the way of information provided - for operation of oven, washing machine etc. Also nothing to inform on location of nearest health facilities, eg Doctor, vet etc. There was no visitors' book and we did not meet the owners. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage, the weather was excellent, and we would thoroughly recommend it for a peaceful holiday!
-
"A lovely cottage and would highly recommend it."
Owners were lovely and very welcoming. Perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds and Worcestershire.
-
"Stayed for 4 nights at Hoden view, With my dog who loved the grass area."
the cottage was of a high standard and good facilities.
-
"Had a very pleasant short break, we were looking for a very quiet family break."
Great place to relax and unwind. The directions could have been better as we had to call the owner when we got close to our destination. The closest pub was The Kings Arms, both the service and the food were lovely.
-
"We found the cottage clean and well equipped good enclosed patio for dog and a very good size garden just in front for exercise excellent."
Property nicely furnished and comfortable. We would recommend and may return in the future good position for visiting places.
-
"Beautiful cottage, spotless clean and very peaceful x"
-
"We had a brilliant break at Hoden View."
It is a lovely house with access to a lovely garden (fully enclosed) and a short distance from a shop and a pub. Hope to be back in the future.
-
"Lovely modern converted barn with excellent facilities"
-
"The accommodation was finished to an extremely high standard."
The location was absolutely perfect for a enjoyable relaxing holiday. A field at the front of the property for my dogs to run around in and to do their business. This was my first time with Skyes Cottages which I can honestly say exceeded all of my expectations. I had such a relaxing holiday, which was very much needed. I would definitely be recommending Skyes Cottages and definitely Hoden Field Cottage to all my friends and family. Definitely 11/10
-
"We found the cottage to be well finished and beautifully furnished ,however it was NOT designed for 4 adults The main bedroom was very large but the twin bedded room was cramped ,with a little more room it could have had a bedside table and a small cabinet for makeup etc,an extra 30cm would have made all the difference."
As this is not possible now it might be worth considering 2ft6in beds.Also the seating in the lounge area is not adequate for 4 adults the addition of another chair would Improve this.
-
"We had a wonderful vacation."
Beautiful house for kids and dog.There was everthing you need peace and also Lots of Nice and interesting things in area to see.
-
"Great hosts and location."
-
"The house itself was well equipped and the owners were friendly."
When you could neither open nor close the outside doors without the use of force, they immediately tried to solve the problem. They couldn‘t. They told us, it must be because of the extreme weather- conditions. The next problem was the heat in the house. You simply could not air the house, because the only window to provide a stream of air was fixed and therefore not to open. In our son‘s room was boiling heat. The large bedroom was slightly better because of the two windows. Also you could not sit outside because there was no sunshade. The neighbour- house was better, because they had the shadow of large trees in the late afternoon. Two times the wifi broke down but worked again a couple of hours later. A minor problem was that the tub- water wasn‘t cold but mostly hot because of the extreme outside heat. The dinner- table is too big for the place. A maximum of two people can sit there. Not four. Since we stayed there for two weeks we appreciated that on the first friday our beds were made and the floor hovered. The owner charged no extra- fee for that. As a summary we would rather not choose the house again even though it was rather cheap.
-
"Nice 'cottage'; we like contemporary decor."
Glad we picked it and enjoyed the holiday. A few comments however.... They welcome dogs, which is fine for dog lovers, which we are not. It comprises of two 'cottages' and our neighbours unfortunatley had a barking dog. Not nice for us. The second bedroom is cramped, which we could obviously see from the photos and it really is very cramped with only inches between beds leading to bruised toes/shin getting in and out. Beds have very soft mattresses. Ended up with a back-ache. It would be nice to see bath mat and/or hand rails in the shower as it can get slippery.
-
"Perfect weekend away at Hoden View."
Location was fantastic and very private. Brilliant with the enclosed gardens for the dogs to run around in and for us to enjoy the beautiful weather. The owners had left us some homemade biscuits, milk and a chilled bottle of prosecco which was a lovely touch. Would definitely return.
-
"The cottage lived up to all its expectations It was a very relaxing and enjoyable place to stay nice and quiet yet nicely situated to visit all the places of interest."
The owners were on hand to provide help of needed but allowed us our privacy. A great relaxing holiday.
-
"Thank you for a lovely break in this super cottage in quiet and picturesque surroundings."
The cottage was very clean and comfortable and the dog really enjoyed all the walks straight from the door .
