  • "The downstairs Bathroom is small, the sink is tiny, the shower barely enough room to turn around."

    It would be helpful if you put coat/ towel hooks on the back of the bathroom doors as there is very little hanging space. On the plus side, we arrived when snow was on the ground, so very cold, the under floor heating was great, the property never felt cold.

    Thank you for your feedback and we are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at the property and that you found it very warm and cosy in the snowy conditions. We will pass on your comments regarding the hooks to the Owner, so thank you for this. We hope to welcome you again for another stay soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

  • "The most amazing little find!"

    We had a beautiful weekend at 4 Wellacres. The cottage is beautiful inside and out, cosy, clean and well equipped. The cottage had more than enough space for 6 adults to enjoy a weekend together but also not be on top of one another. The location is brilliant being so close to Burton on-the Water, Stow on-the wold, Daylesford farm shop and various other stunning Cotswolds villages. All in all it gets a 10/10 from all of us. Thank you again for having us!

    Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at 4 Wellacres Cottage and enjoyed visiting the Cotswold villages. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Best Wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

  • "When we arrived at the property, we let our dogs out into the "enclosed garden" only to find that it was not enclosed, and the dogs escaped through an un-gated side entrance."

    Fortunately, the maintenance team addressed this issue the next day by blocking the 3ft pathway with a pallet, which effectively resolved the problem. Thankfully, the dogs were unharmed, but the property should not be described as dog-friendly with an enclosed garden. On the surface, the property's cleanliness seemed fine. However, as we began using the facilities, it became clear that the cleanliness was not up to the expected standard. We found hairs in the kitchen drawers, tea-stained mugs, dirty pans and cutlery, crumbs in the oven, layer of grime onto of oven's extractor fan and fridge (both at eye level) and cobwebs throughout, to name some of the issues. Additionally, the upstairs area had a stale smoke odor and clearly needed a deep clean. Sykes did offer to re-clean the property during our stay, but this was halfway through our visit, which was inconvenient. We didn't want a cleaner there while our belongings were in the property, nor did we want to deal with the awkwardness of having the property re-cleaned while we were there. We also didn't want to restrict ourselves to staying at the property when we wanted to be out enjoying the Cotswolds. The property should have been properly cleaned before we arrived.

    Thank you for your feedback regarding the property. We appreciate your comments regarding the garden and are glad that we were able to act so promptly in arranging a temporary fix for your stay. In the main the garden is enclosed with fencing but accept the alleyway which is used for access for the gardener has been left open. The way that the retaining wall abuts the alleyway does make it difficult to put a gate on and yet enable access for a lawn mower but the owner has been made aware and will look at possible options. The property however is dog-friendly and we do ask that no dogs are ever left unsupervised during stays at our properties as we can not guarantee a secure space. We are aware of the cleanliness issues you raised. These were not raised during your initial contact in respect to the garden gate but on day 2 of your 4 day stay and we did send a cleaner out that day but upon making contact you mentioned you weren't at the property and we didn't access following your request to be present. We did subsequently try to re-arrange again with you for the following day but you did not want to be disturbed which we respected. We are sorry we were not able to have the chance to sort the issues out for you during your stay but we hope you enjoyed your time exploring the Cotswolds. Kind Regards, Manor Cottages Property Owner
