  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Brilliant Family Getaway at Sykes Cottages' Ranbir House We recently had the pleasure of staying at Ranbir House through Sykes Cottages, and it was nothing short of a brilliant family getaway!

  The house exceeded our expectations, providing everything we needed for a memorable holiday. The games room was a highlight, especially for our three little boys who couldn’t get enough of the arcade machine. The table tennis table was another excellent addition, keeping everyone entertained. And the hot tub? Absolutely magnificent – the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. We also loved rediscovering old favorites with the extra board games provided; it was such a fantastic touch. The views were simply breathtaking. Enjoying breakfast and dinner while overlooking the rolling hills and watching sheep graze was a serene experience that added to the overall sense of peace and relaxation. The stream running through the garden added an unexpected but much-appreciated layer of well-being that we didn’t even realize we needed. There was so much to do in the surrounding area that we couldn’t fit it all in! We explored Puzzlewood, took on a family bike trail in the Forest of Dean, and visited some great award-winning pubs. A special mention to Farmer Boys for a delicious meal out, and the Forest Bakery in Longhope was an absolute gem. We even managed to cook a Sunday roast with local produce, and the cottage had everything we needed to make it a success. We were a group of two families, one with five members and one with three, and there was ample space for everyone. The bedrooms were spacious, clean, and met all our needs perfectly. With so much more to explore, we’re already planning our return. Ranbir House is a five-star retreat that we would recommend to any family looking for a perfect countryside escape.

  The property is in a lovely location and was ideal for our plans.

  We found the property lacking in a number of areas for the price and compared to other properties we have previously visited. The property felt unfinished and rushed before our stay. There was a lack of bedroom furniture, one pillow per person on on the bed, poorly fitting curtains (just covered the windows in some rooms), the property is advertised for eight people but only had a dining table for six, lack of saucepans (only three provided, no tea or coffee pot, the microwave is not secured and nearly fell out, glass in the oven door was not fixed in. Oddly BBQ and garden chairs stored in the kitchen. This will probably be lovely property but needs finishing. We feel we overpaid for the property given the improvements needed

  We are a family of 8 and spent half term (Lancashire) at the Gables.

  We had a great week. We haven't previously stayed in the Cotswolds, but will definitely return soon. The property was perfect for our needs, very comfortable, plenty of space, warm and the kind of place you look forward to returning to at the end of each day. Lisa, the owner, very contactable and helpful, approachable. The area is stupendous for views and sight seeing visits. We struggled initially with driving in the narrow lanes, but, minor issue and soon overcome once we got the "hang".

  We recently returned from a short break staying at Ranbir House and had a great time.

  The house was modern, clean, comfortable and well equipped. The welcome note and package was a lovely surprise and the information pack was helpful and well thought out by the owner's. We made use of the hot tub, which after a days walking in the nearby Forest of Dean was a great way to relax. We visited the local pubs and walked to The Yew Tree for dinner one night and the food and service was great. We would recommend Ranbir House as a great place to stay.

  The property was lovely, comfortable and it has gorgeous views from its raised position across the valley.

  It was exceptionally clean, has good facilities and is well presented. Communication on booking, arrival and throughout our stay was easy and helpful. Taller family members did have to watch out for low beams upstairs and eye masks were provided as very light in the bedrooms from the high windows. Neither of these detracted from a lovely property, we would happily go back. Thank you for our stay.
