  • "This is an amazing property that allows dogs, the spec is very high and reasonably priced."

    This was our second stay this year and would happily return again. There is an enclosed courtyard outside with a fire / barbecue built in with seating too which we also enjoyed. There are walks within the premises with additional glamping, new shepherd huts being built in lovely surroundings, it’s a wonderful area and the hosts are very friendly without being intrusive, can’t recommend enough!! Very rare for me to put such a lengthy review

    Thank you so much for your kind review. A pleasure to accommodate you all as always. Hope to see you again. Kindest Regards The Sty Team Property Owner

  • "A beautiful property."

    Well furnished and tastefully decorated. Good communication from owners. We felt however, the property lacked homely touches. When you are paying this sort of price I feel a welcome pack of some description should be provided to enhance the stay. In most properties we stay in, we usually find an information folder, milk, biscuits, wine etc. Small touches make a difference. We also couldn't get on with the boiling water tap and ended up boiling water in a saucepan on the hob! Very annoying.

    Thank you so much for your kind words about The Sty. We’re really pleased you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the style and space. We also really value your feedback. We’re currently putting together a more detailed in-house handbook for guests to complement the digital information we send ahead of arrival, as we completely appreciate that having something physical to refer to can make things easier during your stay. We’re sorry for any confusion around the hot water tap. We’ll add clearer instructions to make things as easy as possible, and we’ll also ensure a kettle is available on request as a more familiar option, which we know some guests may prefer. We appreciate your comments regarding a welcome pack. This is something we’re actively reviewing as we continue to improve the experience for our guests. Thank you again for staying with us and for taking the time to share your feedback, it really helps us refine what we offer. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Warm regards, The Sty Team Property Owner

  • "Thank you so much for a lovely stay."

    We don’t get to spend much time as a family. And this is definitely what we needed. Beautiful location, beautiful home absolutely loved the decor. Amenities not too far away, plenty of space for the whole family. Thank you so much, we can’t wait to come back in the summer. Thank you again, for being fabulous hosts.

    Thank you so much, and thank you for being great guests. We look forward to hosting you again in the summer, hopefully the weather will be better! All the best. Property Owner

    Our only regret is not being able to stay for even longer than we’d booked for!

  • "Beautiful rural accommodation in the Cotswolds that we stayed in over the New Year period."

    The owner Karl was very helpful with a few minor niggles dealt with immediately and he was very welcoming. The property was warm, comfortable and a fabulous layout for us to eat, drink & socialise. It met our expectations and the needs of our 2 cocker spaniels. Ample parking available and we had 3 cars. Advise to use What 3 Words to find location as we drove past the entrance on numerous occasions. We had a great time, thank you. We would love to come back and stay here.

    Thank you so much, it’s great to hear you had a nice stay. All the best for 2026. Property Owner

  • "A beautifully appointed property with every care taken to provide that rare holiday experience I’ve found lacking so many times previously of over delivering in decor, presentation and quality."

    This was without doubt most likely the best pound for pound holiday rental I’ve ever made in over 40 years for my family. Each space is so well appointed and supplied. The kitchen, dining and living areas contemporary and stylish. We will return.

    Thank you so much, glad that you had a lovely Christmas with your family. All the best for 2026. Property Owner

    We took a chance booking a property with no internal photos but we were not disappointed. The property is finished to a very high standard and very well equipped. We would certainly look to stay here again as there is so much to see and do in the surrounding area.

    Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We hope you and your family are well, and that you have a wonderful 2026. Property Owner
