"A well presented property with good facilities local information folder and large wall map was a valuable and informative."
Welcome tray with flowers and milk tea and coffee was thoughtful. The bed was king-size and comfortable. The sofa a 2 seater opposite the TV was not so comfy as its had more use but a minor issue. Helpful owner on hand if required was re- assuring. Overall an excellent location clean great property to stay.
Hello Julie, Thanks for leaving lovely feedback and I'm glad the map was useful! I'm sorry you found the sofa not so comfy - it is only a couple of years old so not sure why... I'll take a look and see if there is anything we can do to make it more squishy! I'm glad that overall you had a great stay and we'd love to welcome you back in the future! Becky Property Owner

"I had such a lovely holiday at the Coach House."
It’s so quiet and peaceful that I felt fully rested by the end of the week. The house is well organised and everything I needed for a home from home was there. The Cotswolds is a beautiful place and I’ll definitely be back.
Thanks Julie! Glad you had a lovely time and we look forward to welcoming you back ☺️ Becky Property Owner

"Delightful cottage in a great location."

"Lovely property kept very clean."
Comfort all round, settees and beds with quality linens. Only drawback being quilts seemed quite heavy for the summer months. Nice to have private courtyard to sit out in and comfy chairs. Hosts very friendly yet unobtrusive..Being able to do many walks on the common is a definite plus. We will hopefully return.

"We hebben genoten van ons verblijf in the Coach House!"
Alles wat we nodig hadden was aanwezig! Prima bedden en goede douche. Een gezellig welkom met instant koffie, koekjes, pakje melk en een vers veldbloemen boeketje op de vaas. Nog nooit zo’n uitgebreide infomap gezien! Was echt perfect. Het huis is een mooie uitvalsbasis om de Cotswolds te ontdekken en beleven. We komen graag terug!

Very welcoming hosts. We look forward to returning again very soon.

"We had a lovely stay at The Coach House and Becky and Andrew are friendly owners."
Its location is a perfect spot for exploring the Cotswolds and beyond and there’s a good bit to see locally too if you don’t fancy going far. The property has pretty much everything you need though the broadband speed is a bit slow but more than adequate for general browsing and email though.

"We had a really lovely holiday here."
There were 4 of us, my husband, myself and our 2 children who are 3 and 1. The hosts were super helpful and Becky took the time to send me an email with loads of suggestions for things to do with the kids. Which was great. The coach house was just delightful, really well appointed and equipped and the perfect size. We hope to return again and again.

"Wonderful week in the lovely Coach House."
The area is beautiful. The owners of the Coach House were so friendly and helpful.
-
"Lovely cottage in quiet rural location."
The owners,Becky and Andrew, were very pleasant. Everything was on hand, only disappointment was the lack of internet connection for the whole stay. Thankfully we were able to connect via iPhone hot spot. (Be prepared for the awful road surfaces in the surrounding area and the free-roaming cows!)
-
"The property was a good size, well presented, clean, well equipped and in a nice area."
The only drawback we found was the small courtyard garden with a sticky gate at the front.
-
"Really enjoyable stay."
Had everything we needed
-
"Home from home."
The perfect escape, the cottage was lovely. Just what we needed!
-
"We loved our time at the Coach House."
Perfect location to visit some of the cities like Bath and Gloucester while taking in the local area as well. Took 8 month old baby and it was ideal. Thank you!
-
"Perfect. Comfortable and cosy."

"We had a great stay."
The Cottage is very comfortable and clean, the location is perfect for exploring the cotswolds and if you like running the common on the doorstep is a super plus!
-
"Really lovely house, very, very well equipped."
Lovely welcome biscuits; tea, coffee, sugar, salt pepper, oil, dishwasher and washing machine tablets all provided; very friendly and welcoming hosts and their dogs. Spotlessly clean and well organised right to the hangers on the wardrobe! Thank you very much for having us!
-
"Beautiful cottage."
The owners were very friendly
-
"Loved the property and it’s surroundings."
Very clean and ideal for walking our dog. Would have used the tennis court had we been younger. Owners living next door and were very friendly as were there two dogs.. Took a couple of days to work out what the noise was every morning from nearby cottage until told it was a parrot! Really enjoyed listening to him ! The only problem we had was not having an upstairs toilet which, being elderly we needed occasionally. Well done to the.lovely owners. Always ready to help us.
-
"Everything at the coach house was excellent."
The only complaint we had was the extractor fan in the bathroom. It wasn't powerful enough and with four people having showers in a morning we found it a nuisance with condensation running down the walls.Hubby found having his shave was difficult with the mirror constantly misted over. So our opinion is it could do with a more powerful fan and a heated mirror. The area was stunning and we loved the area, being close by for great places to visit. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly. Overall a great place to stay.
-
"An great place to stay with all the home comforts you could want."
Great location and would definitely recommend. Friendly hosts and nothing too much trouble. What more could you ask for.........
-
"Had a lovely short stay at this property with our two dogs."
Well equipped, lovely comfortable beds with quality linens, quiet with wonderful walks straight across Minchinhampton Common. Would highly recommend.
-
"Beautifully presented and immaculate premises."
The old coach stands off a quiet road in the grounds of the main house, with parking adjacent . It is spacious, private, well equipped and comfortable with a cracking log burner. Views over the common which is yards away for wonderful wide open walks and runs of which there are miles. It sits really in between Box and Minchinhampton in a truly stunning area.
-
"Lovely comfortable accommodation in a great area."
Walking from the doorstep. Friendly welcoming hosts, would highly recommend.
-
"Loved our stay at The Coach House."
The owners made us and our dog welcome. The Coach House is beautifully presented and the craftsmanship in the build is superb. The location right on Minchinhampton Common was delightful - with skylarks performing too. It is a great base for exploring The Cotswolds. Thank you.
-
"The high quality and comfort of The Coach House was an important element in our thorough enjoyment of an early Spring holiday."
Outside, the scenery was beautiful but the wind was biting, so the fact that The Coach House central heating is rapid and excellent was hugely appreciated! The peaceful but practical location, sparkling cleanliness and high standard of furnishings and fitments were other factors prompting us to give The Coach House the top score. And, crucially, the friendliness of the owners. We warmly recommend The Coach House.
-
"Very clean and well equipped holiday home."
(Scored less for downstairs bathroom.) For a cold February/March it didn't always seem particularly cosy. The kitchen seemed draughty, though with the fire alight in the lounge it got snug. A lovely area, but though right on top of the Common there are only views if you stand by the windows.
-
"We had a fantastic week."
The cottage was well equipped, the owners were lovely and couldn't do enough for us. Great location with lots of local walks and lovely towns to visit. We will definitely return. Thank you
-
"Fabulous! A beautiful cottage in a stunning setting."
The cottage was warm and comfortable with a really well equipped kitchen. Lovely wood burning stove for cosy nights in. You can walk for miles from the door which the dogs loved and there are pubs and coffee shops all within walking distance. Lots of beautiful Cotswold towns a shot distance away to explore. Becky and Dell the owners couldn’t have been more helpful.
-
"We had a really great time at the cottage over Christmas, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had everything we needed."
It was lovely and comfortable and we hope to return. One thing we thought might help with debris from muddy boots etc would be a larger and more substantial doormat. We also couldn't open the window in the larger bedroom, but that may just have been us! Thanks again.
-
"We enjoyed a lovely Autumnal week in this comfortable, calm & cosy cottage."
Everything we needed for a relaxing stay & we hope to return! Many thanks.
-
"Lovely cottage, very comfortable and clean and everything there that you need."
-
"The cottage is in a great location."
We cycled through some very pretty countryside and visited some lovely Cotswold towns. Our hosts were very helpful with local knowledge. The cottage was very clean and was well equipped. The courtyard doesn’t have a view which is described as such - a few more planters might have made it a better outside area but overall we had a great stay and would certainly revisit.
-
"Gorgeous cottage and nothing was too much trouble for our hosts."
Located in a beautiful area with walks (we took our dog) and sight seeing (Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Cheltenham) nearby. Lovely local restaurants too. We will definitely be returning in the future as we ran out of time to do all the things we wanted to!
-
"We had an absolutely brilliant time at The Coach House."
Immaculately clean, a beautiful cottage and so much to do and see in the local area. We couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
-
"Lovely cottage, very well presented and spotlessly clean."
Wonderful walks on the surrounding common and to nearby villages. Great location for exploring the area.
-
"A lovely cottage set in tranquil , outstanding countryside."
The property is extremely clean and well appointed and oozes character. Well positioned for exploring the Cotswolds. The hosts went out of their way to make us feel very welcome. We will certainly return
-
"Lovely cottage in a fantastic location."
The cottage was very clean and well-equipped and a great base for lots of walks in the surrounding area.
-
"This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location ."
The owners who live next door are extremely nice and very helpful if you need anything . We had to cut our break short because our dog was I'll but we will certainly try to go back again .
-
"A beautiful ‘home from home’ cottage in a wonderful location."
Very clean and in good working order, with everything you need. Lots of information provided for places to visit in the area - both walks and ‘days out’. The owners live next door and couldn’t be friendlier. We visited with 2 young children, the tennis court was a great addition (as there is almost no private outdoor space - which is mentioned in the advert), we found a playground about 5 mins walk away, and in the opposite direction, there’s miles of green space on the Common! The tv and WiFi weren’t great, but did the job. We were surprised that lots of books and games were available for rainy days. We would have no hesitation recommending The Coach House. Thank you for our lovely short break!
-
"Really comfortable cottage."
Lovely hosts. Cottage was equipped with all the extras (toilet rolls, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, hairdryer etc) Wifi very poor. Nice tennis court available to use. Had a lovely stay
-
"The Coach House is a gorgeous holiday getaway."
It was beautifully decorated and furnished throughout and the beds were very comfortable. The location was great for exploring the local area and the hosts were nearby if needed.
-
"Clean, comfortable cottage with helpful owners."
Great location and good base for a long weekend in the area.
-
"We have been to over a dozen cottages up and down the UK in the last few years and The Coach House rates amongst our all-time top 3."
The house was clean and well-maintained - there were no scuff marks or dirt anywhere. The beds were wide and comfortable; the bed linens were clean and comfortable. The kitchen had nearly everything we needed. Not all cottages provide things like kitchen roll, dishwasher tablets and tin foil - but we were provided with these at The Coach House. The lounge had two wide, comfortable sofas and a big foot stool in the middle of the room for stretching out while relaxing. The owners were friendly but not at all intrusive. In fact, one of the benefits of The Coach House is that it is an entirely detached property several metres away from the owners' house, so there is no noise from the main house. There was so much to enjoy at this property. The location is also great: the common was a 30-second walk away and perfect for walking our dog. The only minor quibble was that the shower temperature did vary during our showers. Usually at least twice during a shower, the water temperature would become cooler and we had to step away for maybe 10 seconds until it warmed back up again. But this was a minor issue and I would be happy to put up with it again as everything else was so comfortable and lovely.

"A beautiful cottage, decorated and furnished to a very high specification, spotlessly clean."
Surrounded by lovely countryside and villages. We highly recommend.

"We have stayed in holiday properties for many years (around 3 a year through Sykes)."
A few are fantastic and there are many we would not return too again. This property is perfectly placed and suited to walkers and ramblers. The local area is stunning and can say that the owners are blessed to live where they do. If you haven’t been to the area before I would definitely advise you to visit. You will not be disappointed whether by car, cycling or walking it is simply a beautiful landscape. For the tennis fanatic there is an outside court on site. Sadly for us we are not walkers, and had no energy for cycling or tennis. We work very long hours in our daily lives and so we picked our holiday property and destination as a place to rest and relax and recharge our batteries. We booked the Coach House for one specific reason. We don’t have a garden at home the listing showed several photos of a garden and views. We were looking forward to spend a few days in the sun relaxing in the garden. We were disappointed as soon as we arrived. The garden was in fact the owners. We had use of a small high walled courtyard at the front of the property. It reminded us of the backyard of a ‘Coronation Street’ style house. There was no grass but it did have a small table and chairs. For privacy we had to shut the large wooden gate. As the owners property is next to the cottage . The nearest we could get to see some of the views shown on the original listing was in the kitchen, which incidentally had the owners washing line in front of it. This of course will not get detailed on the listing. The Windows in the property upstairs are quite high due to the age of the building, so unless you are tall the view is difficult to see. The property itself was decorated and finished to a nice standard it was a comfortable stay. The bedding felt luxurious. There were movies and programs to watch if that is your thing and it is very quiet so noisy neighbours and traffic was never an issue. It is important to note like other Sykes customers we are unable to arrive until early evening 5pm and also leave on the final morning at 10am. This takes hours off your week away which may not seem much but makes a big difference especially against the cost of the stay. The reason for all these changes is to ensure that the properties have the additional cleaning required for COVID-19 reassurance. We have to question to what standard this cleaning is carried out and whether an overall standard has been advised to owners to follow. The property was not all clean when we arrived . There was dust under all the sofa’s. You sat on the sofas and a plume of dust came out. The fire had not been cleaned and we washed the bathroom mat when we arrived in the washing machine. Also, the windows to the walled courtyard were filthy inside. The toaster was full of crumbs in the kitchen. The toilet and bathroom were cleaned but the glass under mirror had been missed and was covered in a sticky dust. Simply we could not see any additional cleaning that had been carried out for COVID-19 reassurance. We understand everybody’s standard of clean is very different, but with the COVID-19 pandemic it is more and more important for companies like Sykes to give direction for owners and it’s customers what to expect and what is safe. With the additional hours given to this it is important that all properties are cleaned to the same standard giving everyone peace of mind. Overall – If you like the outdoors and you want a comfortable cottage to stay overnight this is your place There are lots of lovely restaurants and pubs around too. Sadly we won’t be returning due to the inaccuracy of the listing when we booked.
Thank you for your feedback and thank you very much for your comments about the luxurious bedding and high standard of finish, the peace and quiet and are glad that you had a comfortable stay. We are sorry you couldn't take advantage of the tennis court but are glad you noted the opportunities for walking and cycling in this beautiful area. We suggest the listing is not inaccurate as the description clearly states a courtyard with seating, rather than detailing a garden and notes that image 26 is a view from the cottage, not the garden belonging to the cottage. The sofas are brand new having only been used since July 4th. The toaster and the glass shelf are carefully cleaned between each visit. The bathroom mat is freshly laundered for every new guest visit. We will ensure the deep clean will be done with more attention and detail. There was difficulty getting the regular window cleaner during the lockdown but he has been booked to come when he is next available. As for Covid19 extra cleaning, we disinfect all hard surfaces such as sockets, switches, remote controls, stair rail, handles, light pulls etc., and have additional procedures for handling bedding etc. We will work even harder to maintain our good upkeep and have happy guests Property Owner

"Beautiful, immaculately clean cottage with all the facilities you need, and several that are bonus, like the welcome tea, coffee & biscuits, wood-burning stove, blankets for snuggling, comfy bed and great service from the owners."
Very short distance from beautiful Minchinhampton Common and also many walks beyond that. The only let down was that we were expecting to have a view from the courtyard. It is a fully enclosed courtyard. The gardens pictured are the owners' and there is no access to them. You can see them when you stand at the kitchen window, not from the courtyard. It's fine as you can walk to the common - we took a blanket down there a couple of times. Also lovely pubs nearby. But don't expect to be able to have your meals 'at home' with a view, as we'd expected.
