Great stay at Ivy Cottage

We stayed at Ivy Cottage for the weekend and had a great stay. The house was the perfect size and layout for a gathering. We enjoyed the hot tub and views! Each room had its own en-suite and the house manager was very responsive during our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing stay!

We stayed for my mums 60th birthday. 6 adults a baby and a dog and would return in a heartbeat! All the rooms were immaculate, everything was perfect, super clean and comfortable for us all. The gardens and surrounding area were so well kept and we even made apple crumble from the tree outside! We know we will be booking again when we can as we had the most perfect stay.

Great stay

Lovely property, well maintained in a peaceful location perfect for our Christmas break, larger oven would have been ideal as not quite big enough for the turkey and we were just 4 people.

Lovely family holiday!

We had a great family reunion at Ivy Cottage and made lots of lasting memories. The cottage was very comfortable and the welcome pack of milk, bread etc and goodies for our dog was very much appreciated. Only negative comment would be the kitchen is not well equipped, a few more mugs and glasses would be good to safe washing up or running the dishwasher twice a day! Good location with some nice pubs nearby. Would definitely recommend for a great family holiday.

Beautiful cottage, super location

Perfect cottage for our break away with my elderly mother and our cocker spaniel. Comfortable, spacious and very well equipped with everything you might need during your stay. We loved the location with walks from the door and only a couple of miles from shops should you need anything. We loved our time at Ivy Cottage and will definitely be back!

What a lovely spot!

Stayed here with husband and dog for 4 nights and had friends join for a couple of nights. The peace and quiet is lovely, the place itself is super and the proximity to the river is perfect. The whole complex is beautifully done and well thought out. Definitely recommend.

Gorgeous spacious cottage

It's rare to find a self-catering cottage that ticks so many boxes. Comfy beds, luxury bed linen, powerful showers, underfloor heating, well-equipped kitchen and an amazing hot tub. We enjoyed the hub and spent some time playing table tennis. Ivy cottage was a great base for exploring and hope to return.

A beautiful Cotswold cottage

We loved our cottage in the Cotswolds. It was in an ideal place to explore and experience what the Cotswolds has to offer. Seeing the countryside with all is autumnal colours was truly special. The cottage was cosy yet spacious and stylishly furnished. A memorable stay in a beautiful place. Will look to book again!

The cottage is lovely and quaint, clean and cosy. Thanks for the lovely food package including a homemade cake (yummy) we had an amazing girls weekend away, local pub was a walk across the field away for a chilled evening out and we went for a lovely 7 mile walk in the local vicinity

Fantastic Family Celebration

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend break for 6 at Ivy Cottage. The cottage was very comfortable and beautifully presented. It was also well equipped for our needs. The games room was great and the table football a real winner! Thank you so much for helping to create the perfect family celebration.

Idyllic stay

We have just returned from a wonderful week spent at Ivy Cottage. We travelled with our two dogs and can highly recommend as being dog friendly with a secure enclosed large garden. The cottage whilst in amongst other accommodation felt private and not overlooked. The property was well equipped though a few more towels and some robes for the hot tub would have been very welcome. We had a lovely time and will return.
