What our customers say about their holidays

  When we arrived at the property, we let our dogs out into the "enclosed garden" only to find that it was not enclosed, and the dogs escaped through an un-gated side entrance.

  Fortunately, the maintenance team addressed this issue the next day by blocking the 3ft pathway with a pallet, which effectively resolved the problem. Thankfully, the dogs were unharmed, but the property should not be described as dog-friendly with an enclosed garden. On the surface, the property's cleanliness seemed fine. However, as we began using the facilities, it became clear that the cleanliness was not up to the expected standard. We found hairs in the kitchen drawers, tea-stained mugs, dirty pans and cutlery, crumbs in the oven, layer of grime onto of oven's extractor fan and fridge (both at eye level) and cobwebs throughout, to name some of the issues. Additionally, the upstairs area had a stale smoke odor and clearly needed a deep clean. Sykes did offer to re-clean the property during our stay, but this was halfway through our visit, which was inconvenient. We didn't want a cleaner there while our belongings were in the property, nor did we want to deal with the awkwardness of having the property re-cleaned while we were there. We also didn't want to restrict ourselves to staying at the property when we wanted to be out enjoying the Cotswolds. The property should have been properly cleaned before we arrived.

  We have all had a lovely, relaxing stay in your beautiful space. It had everything we needed and we enjoyed all the outside space, especially the hot tub on some surprisingly sunny days! We had a great walk up the hill to the monument, worth the steep climb for the views, we had the dog help all the way up! Jeff went into Cardiff to see Bruce Springsteen and appreciated a nice hot tub dip when he got back late, to recover from dancing! Your attention to detail ans welcoming layout meant we had everything we needed to all have a well deserved time off. All catered for from 83 year old Grandma to the high energy dog who loved the walks and garden.

  Four middle aged women go mad in Gloucestershire! Except we didn't! We had the most relaxing time here at The Cow Byre and were blessed by lovely weather until our day of departure. A beautiful place to stay with everything that we needed. The hot tub was a sheer delight, followed by cheese from Stroud market and wine from the amazing shop - Raffles fine Wine in Nailsworth. A walk up to the tower, cup of tea and cake in the village shop in Nibley - all to be recommended! We have been truly spoilt by the high standards of the accommodation her. Thank you both also for the lovely bread and the other essentials on arrival.

  We had the most relaxing time here at The Cow Byre...with everything that we needed. The decor is rustic whilst modern and the attention to detail is remarkable. It's beautifully serene and all in all most definitely a place we would love to come again and will recommend to family and friends. The hot tub was a sheer delight followed by cheese from Stroud market and wine from the amazing shop "Raffles Fine Wine" in Nailsworth. A walk up to the tower, cup of tea and cake in the village cafe in North Nibley, all to be recommended! Thank you.

  The most amazing little find!

  We had a beautiful weekend at 4 Wellacres. The cottage is beautiful inside and out, cosy, clean and well equipped. The cottage had more than enough space for 6 adults to enjoy a weekend together but also not be on top of one another. The location is brilliant being so close to Burton on-the Water, Stow on-the wold, Daylesford farm shop and various other stunning Cotswolds villages. All in all it gets a 10/10 from all of us. Thank you again for having us!
