    Parking could be an issue, but we were fortunate to be able to park close by every time we returned. There was a clothes dryer in the garden shed, but it took quite a while to get our clothes dry.

    The cottage had everything we needed for a 5 night stay. The kitchen was very well-stocked with whatever we needed to cook and eat. In fact, there were a few provisions left for us in the refrigerator when we arrived. The cottage was very clean and close to shops and restaurants.

    Can’t think of anything!

    We loved that it was in a small town with pubs and a co-op near to the cottage.

    The toaster did not work Almost impossible to reach the tenant or the staff . Telephone number mentioned in the book I g confirmation was not existing. Leaking tap at the sink. My friend Martin Bown who left the cottage at 10 am forgot his toiletry bag in the bathroom. We do net get any possibility to reach the staff how to get this item back.

    Lots of little extras included despite being self catering were a lovely and welcome touch! Additional phone chargers, an Alexa, wood for the fire just to name a few! The cottage was beautiful and true to the photos, lovely and clean and so cosy to stay in.

    It was perfect, no need to change a thing!

    Wishbone Cottage is beautifully cosy and warm, perfectly situated for exploring the Southern Cotswolds. For those with dogs, the back garden is very secure, plus there is access to a field for walking and off lead play after just two doors down the road to the left. We loved the cottage and would definitely stay again.

    The cottage was fine, but the parking is very challenging, I wouldn’t choose to stay there again.

    When we arrived we couldn’t park on the busy road anywhere near the cottage and had to park some distance away and lug all our belongings down the street to the cottage, parking is a challenge in that area! The fridge wasn’t cold enough so it took overnight before it got cold, this is a recurring problem with holiday cottages we’ve found, where the owners don’t turn them up in time for the guests to use them on arrival. They said that there was matches and fire lighters for the wood burner but there wasn’t.. added to this, the heating didn’t come on so we were cold on our first night and had to sleep in extra clothes! My husband ( who’s an engineer) discovered the next morning that the boiler wasn’t set on the correct time or date so the heating was not working properly. Although the general bedding was clean, the pillows only had one , thin pillow case on them ( again a recurring issue with cottages) so the smell of previous, sweaty heads was ‘yuk’ to sleep on! Luckily I had brought my own spare pillow cases as I have found this to be a problem with other rentals. Pillows need washing, especially if it’s been warm and not using pillow protectors or under slips means your guests can smell the previous occupants! Not pleasant!

    It was a pretty cottage that had been tastefully decorated. The garden was safe and completely enclosed for our dog.

    - Cleaning (dog poop in garden, food residues in the oven, used contact lenses on bedside table, dirty dishes, dead insects, dirty windows) - Humidity in the cottage (fabrics of living chairs felt clamp, this was better the 2nd day after we turned heating on) - bed on 2nd floor, horrible matrass, never had so much backpain during a vacation - no reaction at all to my message about lack of cleaning. So keeps me wondering if they’d react if there is an urgency. - high traffic noisy road (they drive like crazy!). However during the night it calms down.

    The traffic noise made it difficult to sleep. Had little sleep which we didn’t expect on a holiday. Little privacy downstairs due to being on a main road and passers-by so needed to close the blinds which made the room dark. Heating was not on so cottage was cold. When I highlighted this no one took any notice and told me to turn up the thermostat. The boiler was off so had to learn how to turn it on. Once heating was on cottage was warm. Only communication is via email which is a poor way to communicate. A phone number should be provided to discuss issues. For these reasons we will not return although many elements we liked but little sleep is not good when on a break.

    At first glance it is comfortable and lots of items provided for cooking.

    We loved everything about the property, wouldn’t change a thing.

    Beautifully decorated, warm and comfortable. Kitchen stocked with a few essentials and condiments and doggy biscuits which went down a treat with our dog! Location absolutely beautiful just a short walk to a couple of lovely local pubs, shops and cafes.
