  • "Stepwell is a beautiful cottage with a lovely little garden and hot tub use."

    There's plenty of lovely walks and other villages to drive to nearby. Beds all very comfortable, hot tub is huge and so warm! Fridge is massive, perfect for big groups. There was a slight shortage of forks, had to wash them every time between meals as we were limited to one each. (8 of us) The dishwasher was leaking and the downstairs shower room had a leak from the upstairs bathroom but we informed the owner and carried on with our day. It wasn't an issue for us. We were able to check out later too which was lovely and appreciated. Would absolutely return!!!!

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay at Stepwell and hope you will return. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

  • "A lovely spacious property that’s perfect for a group getaway."

    The barn is in a beautiful location and offers a great layout for a group, with the option for single beds and a lovely big area to gather and eat or chill. The kitchen is large and well equipped, and the fantastic bonus of the covered hot tub surrounded by fairy lights was appreciated. A good location to explore the Cotswolds and we will definitely consider booking again for our next get together!

    Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Stepwell. It's lovely to hear you all had a lovely time at the property and hopefully you enjoyed the hot tub to, after some lovely walks in the Cotswolds. We would love to welcome you all back again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

    John was very helpful and understanding when we needed to rearrange our booking. We all had a fantastic weekend and would definitely book again

  • "Really nice cottage in a beautiful setting, with a well equipped kitchen and comfy beds."

    Great to have the hot tub in the garden. We were a group of friends getting together and it was ideal that the beds could all be made up as singles. Friendly welcome from the owners and The Red Lion Inn at Long Compton was very good for dinner, thank you for the recommendation!

    Thank you for this lovely review. We're so glad you and your friends enjoyed your stay and made the most of the local amenities! Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

  • "We had a 'girls' (60-'s plus!"

    ) weekend for 3 nights, location was beautiful and the barn itself was amazing!! There was loads of room and beds were so comfortable with lovely linen and pillows! One only slight criticism would be to have more coasters for the cups and some place mats, also a fish slice lol! These are so minor though. We loved it and would highly recommend!!

    Thank you so much for your feedback which is much appreciated. We're so glad you and your friends had such a great weekend and loved the location too. Thank you for your suggestions which we will pass on to the owner. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

  • "This was a fantastic property, in a great location."

    The owners were really helpful, and more than willing to assist with anything needed. For a group of ladies, the set up was perfect, sleeping arrangements, very spacious, well equipped, a covered area over the hot tub - all exactly what we wanted & the sun was shining too! I would definitely stay here again and will definitely recommend as a great base to explore the Cotswolds from too.

    Thank you for your feedback. It's great to hear that you enjoyed your time at Stepwell and we hope to welcome you again one day soon. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner

  • "Third time staying at Stepwell in last 6 years, great time as always perfect for our group of friends but some of the soft furnishings are looking tired."

    Some stains on sofa and cushions Oven door also needs deep clean . Just a freshen up would improve appearance and enhance already gorgeous barn. Owners as always welcoming and helpful

    Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.. We're glad you and your friends enjoyed your stay at Stepwell. I can confirm that we were aware of the upholstery and that has now been given another professional clean with good results. With large group bookings spillages are frequent. We were not aware of the oven but that has now been given a thorough clean too.Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention and we hope to welcome you again- making it a fourth time!

  • "We have just enjoyed a lovely weekend at Stepwell."

    The house is in a remote location with wonderful views and footpaths to explore the countryside. Having a covered hot tub was great as it meant we could use it whatever the weather. It rained all weekend but we were able to use the hot tub despite this. The house is well stocked with plenty of crockery and plastic glasses for use in hot tub. There was a selection of condiments such as cooking oil and spices to use which was helpful. The big fridge freezer was handy to store all our food and bottles and the freezer produces a supply of ice, which would’ve been handy to know as we had lugged an ice machine with us. The house is a great social or family space with plenty of room for everyone. Bath towels are provided but individual hand towels would be helpful too. Would definitely recommend Stepwell.

    Mrs Harding

  • "We loved the converted barn it was fabulous, like something out of Grand Designs."

    Perfect for our girlie weekend.

    Ms W

  • "We all loved the way the barn had been converted - so much light and space."

    Also, it has just enough decorating items in it to feel interesting, without being cluttered up. In addition, for our party it was ideal to each have a single bed. What else? - well, good location for places of interest, liked being on a farm with horses, could walk straight from the door, wonderful views.

    Mrs W

  • "The location of the cottage was lovely, very peaceful whilst we were in the cottage but perfectly located for the nearest town, local amenities and of course some very good local pubs."

    We particularly liked the open plan kitchen and living spaces which made for a very sociable area for relaxing and preparing food etc. The cottage was presented really nicely, a very attractive building and good facilities (plenty of bathrooms, good kitchen facilities and comfortable living area.)
