• "Extractor fan in bathroom of the main on suite bedroom not working."

  Duvet cover and pillow covers had damp smell from it.Otherwise the property was extremely satisfactory.Host had provided a bottle of Champagne and cake which was much appreciated.Also kitchen had most essential items.Very pleasant stay.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay, Unfortunately the extractor fan had been turned off at the isolation switch above the door and is fully working. Our housekeeper confirmed that the bed linens were fresh from the laundry and only wished they had been called straight away on any issues so they could have had the opportunity to help but we are happy to know that the champagne and cake was much appreciated.

• "We enjoyed our stay, loved the location in beautiful Blockley with easy reach to less busy Cotswolds beauty spots."

  We were comfortable in the house which was very well equipped, spacious and clean. Loved the sound of children’s voices in the school opposite. A couple of maintenance issues which we reported to the agent - overflowing shower on the second floor and temperamental power sockets in the kitchen. Otherwise a really lovely stay which we would recommend.

• "Nice place."

  Shame there was no proper shower on the 2nd floor. Also the heating didn't seem to be working on the top floor so it was a bit cold. Was a bit annoying that there were no provisions in the kitchen e.g. salt, pepper, olive oil etc... Also I think there is a problem with the oven door - it doesn't seem to close properly. Aside from that we had a good time and blockley was a lovely village and thanks.

  Thank you for sharing your feedback. We have passed your comments onto the owner, who has confirmed that all issues have now been resolved. We hope these did not impact your stay. To confirm, there is a walk in rain shower in the second floor bathroom. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and the lovely village of Blockley. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

• "Had a lovely stay at North End House."

  Plenty of room and facilities for the 3 couples that stayed. Beds lovely and comfortable. Only issue could of done with a shower curtain or screen within the bathroom with the shower in the bath. As floor got wet and my partner slipped on the wet floor. Other than this had a fantastic stay and in a lovely village in a great location as other sights to see were all with in a half hour car ride or closer. The village has 2 pubs which was great. The Great Western is a lovely pub and nice food but a bit noisy. The Crown inn is also a lovely pub and serves lovely food with excellent staff that could not do enough for you. There is a little shop in the village that sells everything you need. Would highly recommend a stay at North End House.

• "Thank you for sharing your cottage."

  What a beautiful house. We had Yorkshire and Kent families coming together so it was an ideal base to visit my favourite area of the Cotswolds. The garden was lovely and despite the unseasonable July weather we did manage to make use of the table for breakfast. Some upgrades for me based on what we paid and other homes I have stayed in that would make a big difference. The dining chairs were not comfortable to sit on for any more than 1hr. Could you supply some seat pads? I used the large en-suite shower bedroom. The mattress topper was so thin it made no impact, every ridge from the two mattresses pushed together was felt and uncomfortable. All other beds were fine. The recycling and cleaning instructions were far too complicated. We could not find coloured bags as you suggested or split the rubbish out correctly. This could be easier with a container under the sink with labels and some additional rubbish containers outside. The above would not stop me making good recommendations but would have improved our experience. Thank you for sharing your home.

  Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes, Character Cottages Property Owner

  The curtain upstairs did not work properly (which was very minor), other than that it was perfect. A beautiful house, in a beautiful location.

• "A beautiful house in a stunning village."

  We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas at North End House. The house is well furnished with extremely comfortable beds. Parking at the back is excellent. We cooked a fair bit during our stay and the kitchen was easy to use. The cooker took a while to come up to temperature but worked well. To improve it further some more and matching serving dishes could be added. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  Thank you for this lovely review. We're delighted you enjoyed Christmas a North End House and found it to be so comfortable and well-equipped. We will pass on your suggestions to the owner and hope to welcome you again in the future. Character Cottages Property Owner

• "We enjoyed a beautiful garden (Hidcote), the amazing collection of a wonderful eccentric (Snowshill Manor), an atmospheric Roman Villa (Chedworth), and an imposing Jacobean Manor (Chastleton)."

  Walks were made even more special by beautiful fields of red poppies and white camomile flowers. The house is comfortable and spacious and situated in a lovely village with a great shop and the Great Western Arms was visited twice for meals. We loved sitting out in the garden for breakfast and dinner, keeping an eye on the collared dove chicks in a nest in the tree by the front door. We even met a lady whose family lived in North End House, and whose mother was born there! Many thanks for the welcome Champagne – much enjoyed and much appreciated.

• "House was well equipped and as described in the listing."

  Flying in from states we really appreciated the little things that were provided as a starter kit such as toilet rolls, trash bags, washing up liquid, kitchen roll etc. these were a great help. We were very happy with the house and facilities. Beautiful village with lots of great hikes.

  So happy you enjoyed your stay and you found the additional starter kit a great help. Glad you loved the village with great hikes. Thank you for leaving feedback. Property Owner

  Fantastic house and lovely village. Enjoyed hiking the public footpaths every morning, through the sheep and cows, surviving the field of bulls. Hiked to Batsford to enjoy falconry centre. Highly recommend the local café and The Great Western Arms. House had everything we needed. Loved the outdoors on sunny days. Great area with so much to see – we will have to come back. Thank you for letting us share your beautiful house!

• "Apologies forthe late feedback - we stayed 1/4 to the 8/4 and while the house ..."

  Apologies forthe late feedback - we stayed 1/4 to the 8/4 and while the house was very impressive and in a great location there were a few disappointing features that could not really be rectified in the week - but I still wanted to bring these to your attention The heating in certain rooms did not work - the master bedbroom and the TV room downstairs - the valves were either seized or there was some air lock - We were in the house with my elderley parents who did not want the fuss of getting someone into fix the problem while we were staying - luckily the weather was not too cold so we did manage to survive - but the TV room was freezing There were no instructions to clearly say how the heating thermostat worked as well The upstairs TV room had no instruction how to use this TV and the TV was not even connectedto an aerial - this room was very dark and could have been a real asset to the house but was neglected and uncomfortable The house also had a problem with woodlice - as they kept appearing in every room - again another problem not easily solved - this was really not up to standard in a house that cost that amount for a week We felt the kitchen was poorly equipped for a house this size - not enough saucepans / tea cups - no small sharp knives - the oven door did not close effectively The house book was not upto date so we had no real idea of when the bin day was and had been left with all the previous week rubbish and we then had to leave with all our recycling stoered hoping the the next guest would make sure it was collected There were bathmats missing in one room and the upstairs shower door did not close properly Overall for the type of house and the price we expected the standard to be higher

  Thank you for providing this feedback and we're glad that you liked the house and location. We really appreciate your honesty on issues you encountered during your stay. We were reliably informed by the housekeeper that clear instructions were in a folder which was left open for your arrival and that this included details of how the heating is controlled, information on recycling, and how to work the television. There are over 20 mugs and 8 coffee cups, together with a tea set and we consider the utensils provided to be more than adequate. We have checked and the shower door is closing properly. Old houses in the country do occasionally attract woodlice, particularly in damp weather, but we check regularly and are always as vigilant as possible. W.e hope this didn't impact too much on your time at North End House and believe you would have had a much more pleasant stay, and had these issues resolved straightaway, had you made one call to the housekeeper about the folder of instructions.
