"Difficult to turn out of the entrance towards Oxford (traffic)."
Better instructions to find the place within the complex plus instructions for the hob, oven and heating would help. Television in the living room is in the wrong place to watch on the couch and a high top table and two stools is not good enough for meals. Bedroom, with a decent size television (best one for serious watching) and bathroom both excellent. Nice garden with a table and chairs accessible from the bedroom and an outside table and chairs plus a bench at the front.
Thank you for your comments. We can of course look to review the directions to make it easier to find, but it's on a main road and with What3words and Google Maps, it should be easy to find. But you always have us at the end of a phone if you get lost. We will of course look at the hob instructions and make sure are to hand but should be in the kitchen. We would love to welcome you again soon for another break with us. Kind regards Manor Cottages.

"Passed expectations!"
Everything looks crisp and clean, good quality and well spaced. TWO smart t.v.'s, washer... lovely touch was the welcome pack of milk, juice, biscuits, crisps, coffee... Note: entrance sign is easily missed and could do with a few more hangers. Bonus: Clarksons pub is barely 2 miles down the main road! Well worth the price and really happy with our stay.
Many thanks for your lovely feedback Ian - it is very much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed your visit.
All the best.

"An ideal place to stay for a relaxing break!"
The property was so peaceful, with its private garden and stable doors to keep us cool.
So close to places of interest, we didn't need to travel far from the property.
Will definitely be back when we need to unwind.
Thank you for your feedback Pauline, glad you had a relaxing stay. Hope we see you again.
All the best.

"Great location for visiting Burford, Bourton on the Water, Upper & Lower Slaughter, Stow on the Wold, Clarksons pub, Crocodiles of the World, Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens."
Carterton close by for supermarkets/amenities. Ample parking with EVC, good range of facilities in the cottage, lovely and clean and well looked after. Coffee machine with pods & some snacks were an added bonus.

"On arrival the property was cold."
I tried to follow instructions to increase the heat by the thermostat with no joy. I rang the helpline, after some discussion, it was arranged for a plumber to come out. He stated the heat source pump was set to holiday, so no heat available. He made an adjustment, but we found that the radiators and towel rail never became more than just "aired". The team had dropped off two oil filled radiators which helped, but if we turned them off while we went out, the place was freezing to come back to, and nowhere to dry towels after a shower.
Very disappointing on the whole, a lovely place , nicely decorated and clean and well equipped, but spoilt by the problem with the heating.
Hi Marie
Thank you for your feedback.
We are so sorry about the issue with the boiler when you first arrived. it is only 8 months old so we would not expect these problems - we have raised this with the installers and they are looking into this. Good to hear that the management team helped with the issues very quickly.
As it is a heat source pump the radiators do not get as hot as a gas boiler unfortunately - they are designed to provide a more consistent heat for a longer period. Looking at the smart thermostat the temperature was always between 20 & 23 degrees so it was working as expected.
Sorry again for the initial issues and hope you enjoyed your stay.

"The place and location excellent."
There’s only 2 minor reasons I marked down the comfort score by 1:-
This is personal as the next person may prefer it but I found the armchair too low and no height at the back.
Second was the heating, very slow to react.
Would we go again or recommend it, most definitely.

Nicely situated close to local amenities and nice pubs.

Really glad you enjoyed your stay Trevor.

"Ideal accommodation for a couples short break."
Convenient location for visiting many of the Cotswold villages and attractions. Welcome pack very much appreciated
Potential improvements, definitely needs a teapot. A microwave would be a good addition. Bed creaked a lot when getting out.
Main issue was being given incorrect code for lockbox so could not immediately access the property.
Hi Michael
Thank you for your feedback.
Apologies for the issue with the lockbox - we had a few tradespeople in recently so thought it would be wise to change the code. We did let Manor know of the change in good time prior to your visit so will pick this up with them.
I am sure we had a teapot but will check & rectify if it has gone missing.

"There was a nasty smell in bathroom from drain,luckily I found some drain powder in the cupboard,the coffee machine had no instructions and it needed de scaling,thank heavens for google."
Apart from that it was fine
We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the property’s location perfect for exploring the Cotswolds.
I’m sorry to learn you experienced an issue with one of the drains. May I ask if you contacted our out-of-hours service during your stay? If we had known, we would have been happy to come out and resolve this for you.
We’ll also ensure Housekeeping checks the coffee machine during the next changeover and that clear instructions are included in the welcome folder.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages.

"Lovely place in the centre of the cotswolds."
Great for a few nights stay.
Really comfy bed and nice kitchen area.
Parking could be made slightly more obvious and supplying body wash would be appreciated.
Thanks for the feedback Phoebe - really happy you enjoyed your stay.
We will look into the provision of toiletries and see what can be done to make the parking provision a bit clearer - there are plenty of spaces but as they are communal it maybe needs a bit more guidance.
Thanks again - hope to see you again.
