Perfect Cotswolds Getaway

Had a wonderful stay - communication with Poppy and the property were top notch, and made for a relaxing, long weekend stay. The property is even better than the photos, private, and the highlight is the living room with large windows letting in sun and the surrounding English countryside.

Perfect Christmas Getaway

We chose this property for its size and location for a 3 day Christmas break and it did not disappoint. Even though the weather was lousy you could see out to the valley due to the high position of the house and I’m sure this outlook is even more stunning in the Summer months.

Just lovely

a beautiful property! plenty of room to spread out, yet cosy at the same time. The views are to die for, and we got to see badgers and deer!My only advice us for people who like complete darkness whilst sleeping: the blinds are not blockout blinds, so it is worth bringing an eye mask.

The Woodlands

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and made good use of the surrounding areas, the house is beautiful and full of character, very clean and everything that one could need provided for. Unfortunately we were not happy about the state of the outside area , the furniture was dirty and weeds growing in abundance through the cracked paving slabs , all of the plants in pots are dead ! We would have liked to spend some time sitting in the garden admiring the amazing views but were unable to do so as the area was not inviting, I wonder if the owners are aware of the situation.

Beautiful location and property

We chose the property because of the views which were as good as the pictures. The decor is tasteful and the sun lounge is lovley. We went as a family aged 20 to 80 and all enjoyed the stay. Very relaxing, felt in a proective bubble and did not want to leave.

Fantastic Long Weekend

Stayed at the Woodlands for a long weekend for my wife's and my 60th birthdays. Absolutely fantastic stay from beginning to end. Loved the place so much we did not want to leave. The host, Poppy, was very easy to communicate with and was very flexible regarding check in & out. Will be back to this little (big) gem.

Countryside cottage

My family of 4 adults enjoyed our stay here. Poppy was really helpful and good at communicating and kindly provided hypoallergenic bedding for the two of us that have feather allergies. We enjoyed the outside seating and inside facilities and it had everything we needed for a pleasurable stay.

Perfect house for a family gathering

Great position with lovely views. It was perfect for our family gathering with plenty of space. Really good communication with the owner. The approach is incredibly steep it was much better arriving from the top of the hill downwards. Great outside space would be lovely in the summer.

A beautiful home that did not disappoint. Excellent facilities, quality linen, clean and extremely comfortable. Plenty of space for 6 adults and 2 children under 5 years old and a perfect setting for celebrating Easter away from the hustle and bustle of London. Local farm shop a hit as well as our trip to Cirencester.

Family wedding

We stayed three nights for a family wedding locally. The house was spacious downstairs which was a plus due to the weather as it was very stormy and cloudy and foggy! The house had everything we needed lovely terraces which we would have loved to use if only the rain had stopped! The bedrooms needed a mirror in each room to help the female guests in their getting ready. But overall a lovely house!

Long weekend family celebration

Had an excellent time staying at The Woodlands as a family celebrating a big birthday. The property/garden was great, with lovely views from the front. The location was good for both short and long walks, although extremely hilly. Poppy was really communicative from the time of booking right through to the end of our stay. A beautiful home that did not disappoint. Excellent facilities, quality linen, clean and extremely comfortable. Plenty of space for 6 adults and 3 children under 3 years old. Overall we had a wonderful stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.

New Years Eve 2022

We had a great time at the woodlands celebrating the end of 2022 with friends and our young families. It was a great location that was nice and secluded even though the hill up was scary for my car lol. Would love to come back in the summer as i imagine the views would be amazing.

Lovely stay

This property was spotless clean with good quality bedding and towels, starter pack was ideal with bits and pieces in cupboards. Only problem was that I was driving a defender which didn’t give me much room to get through dark lane with barely an inch or two at each side, would be ok in a smaller car, garden not safe for children. My overall review of this property for 3 days with 8 adults, we had a great time and went out every day, I recommend visiting Burton on the water so beautiful.
