"What a gem!"
We had a wonderful 5 days at Little Acres Cottage as a couple with three dogs. The location of the cottage is fantastic, you are very private, with plenty of distance to the very few neighbours, and yet many interesting destinations in the Cotswolds are within easy reach. It is very quiet, except at peak times in the morning and evening there are hardly any cars at all and in the cottage you can't hear them anyway. The property is huge and great for dogs. The fence is not entirely dog-proof, but we don't leave our four-legged friends outside without supervision anyway, so this wasn't a problem. We watched squirrels and buzzards on the property and saw deer in the neighbouring field from the upstairs window, it was very idyllic. The cottage itself is very comfortable and cosy and has everything you need. We were especially delighted about the great kitchen and the big bath tub and the nice living room with the big settee, fireplace and TV, perfect for chilling on a rainy day in November. There are (small) beds, bowls and treats for dogs, as well as a thick folder with activity suggestions and tips. The mudroom in the entrance area is also very practical and the stone floor on the ground floor is easy to keep clean with dogs. Unlike many other holiday homes, dogs are allowed on the upper floor, but as there is carpet, you should make sure that their paws are really clean beforehand. We carried our dogs upstairs and downstairs because there are loveley wooden stairs which were a bit too smooth for our old dogs, but that was no problem at all. We had a great time here and were even able to extend a day at the last minute as there was a small gap left after our booking. Thanks to the team at Syke Cottages and the owners for their flexibility. We can warmly recommend this cottage, especially for romantic couple holidays, dog owners or families, and would love to come back.

We met with friends, we have 4 dogs, and this holiday home was absolutely perfect, homely and clean, plenty of space for us all, our dogs loved the big garden, and fellow deer

"The cottage was very spacious, comfortable and clean."
In an easy location for travelling around the area. Very good communication from the owners.

"Very nice property, well decorated and clean."
Plenty of garden space for my dog to run round! A couple of minor niggles but owners are already addressing them (and very good communication from the owners too). Separate utility area meant dog meals could be prepared away from main kitchen. Bowls, mat and treats provided too which was a nice touch. Would recommend and will definitely be staying here again.

"Good points: Clean, comfortable beds, comfy settees, great views of countryside, fallow deer and grouse visitors to the garden."
Not so good: garden not secure for 1 dog let alone 4. Curtains downstairs are not full width of the windows, 1 plug for 4 sinks, electric gate has a mind of it's own! Electrics blow when you try to use the hob as well as the cooker
Hi Valerie, Thanks for your feedback, I just wanted to thank your for visiting Little Acre and to reply to some of your feedback, Security for pets, as discussed on the phone a week before your visit we do not advertise that the property is secure for dogs but that we merely welcome, but our expectation is that you always watch your dogs when they are outside for multiple reasons 1. Their safety 2. The safety of the local wildlife 3. So that you can clear up after them We have now replaced the plugs so thank you for this feedback The gate seems to be working fine so I’m not sure what the issue was here? We have also now replaced the oven and hob so again thanks for the feedback on this issue. Once again thanks for your feedback, we do all we can do provide the best experience for our guests so your feedback is invaluable. Thanks Jamie and Chloe Property Owner
