    Nothing major just some wear and tear but it didn’t affect our stay in the slightest. In one of the bedrooms a side table top had come off its legs and a roof light handle had dropped from hinges (same room). But these things honestly were not an issue for us whilst we were there we would still return in a heartbeat.

    Absolutely beautiful home and we genuinely loved our stay. The rooms were all a really good size, as was the hot tub (four adults fit comfortably). We would absolutely stay here again and can recommend to anyone visiting the area. Any queries to host prior to visit were answered promptly and all information sent prior to arrival.

    Nothing - everything worked perfectly while we were there.

    Location was excellent with a couple of local pubs and a shop nearby within walking distance and Chipping Norton was only 8-10 mins away in the car.

    Beautiful house in a lovey, quiet, private location, ideal for visiting Diddly Squat Farm 😂 just a short drive away. Clean throughout with everything and more you could need. Great communication from the owners, easy check in / check out.

    Great house - great location only 20 minutes from most villages in the cotswolds, very peaceful and relaxing area. Hot tub was great and the canopy covering it was great so we could still use in the rain. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything you would need. Was a lovely place to stay for the weekend.

    The house was clean, welcoming and had all the amenities u could need, a real home from home! The decor was beautiful! It was in a great location for us wanting to visit Diddly squat farm and Blenheim palace, plus to explore the Cotswolds! The hot tub was a lovely addition to our stay! We had a lovely meal in the local pub which was great and a short walk away!

    There was a big difference in the mattresses which meant 2 of the beds were quite hard and uncomfortable whereas the other was very nice and comfy. The property is very close to neighbours which unfortunately did impact our ability to spend time outside and use the hot tub as we’d have liked as the closest neighbour was very rude and agressive towards us complaining of noise even after we’d apologised and stopped all noise.

    The property was lovely and well equipped. Plenty of glasses and equipment in the kitchen! The place was clean and the extra touches like toiletries and hot tub towels were all appreciated. Location was as advertised which was good for us to explore the local area. Hot tub was a great size and didn’t lose its heat.

    Upon arrival in January we had no heating or hot water. After hours of trying and contacting the landlord, a plumber was sent at 10pm. A leaky radiator in the bedroom had soaked the carpet making it unusable. The next day the upstairs toilet malfunctioned and was on a continuous flush, flooding the house. We contacted the landlord at 8am but a plumber did not arrive until 4.30pm meaning we had NO water to the house for the entire day. The landlord is now not answering calls and messages and booking.com will not compensate us. Booking.com will NOT help if anything were to go wrong, their advise is to contact the agent but the agent/landlord is ignoring us. Booking.com offers zero security for unscrupulous agents/landlords. We paid £776 for one weekend in this house and had no water for the whole stay with NO compensation. This is wholly unacceptable.

    Beautiful house, fabulous location

    Outline of Our Experience Negative Incidents - Lack of Respect: We were not treated with respect by some individuals during our stay. - Uninvited Neighbor: At 7 pm, a neighbor barged into the property uninvited to tell us to reduce noise, which was inappropriate and intrusive. Cultural Insensitivity: - The place does not cater to diverse cultures. - There were significant demonstrations of bias and stigma against us. Feelings of Discomfort - These behaviors made us uncomfortable. - We felt as though we were under surveillance, leading to an unpleasant and stressful experience. Overall Impact- While the property itself is beautiful, the inappropriate behaviors and lack of cultural sensitivity overshadowed our stay, ultimately ruining the experience for us.

    Positive Aspects - The place is beautiful and well-maintained. - Initial impressions were positive based on the appearance and amenities.
