Location Information

The Sycamore is tucked away in the heart of Bibury, a beautiful village much-loved by locals and visitors due to its picture-perfect scenery, chocolate box houses and stunning crystal clear waters of the river. With numerous footpaths, quaint bridges and fabulous eateries on its doorstep, such as The Swan and, of course, The Trout Farm, Bibury has plenty to offer. Arlington Row is a must-see, so make sure to follow the river round to the perfect viewpoint - take a look at many more things to do in the Cotswolds over on our helpful guide!

4/5

A delightful property, tucked away in the picturesque Cotswolds. We booked a very last minute 2-night stay here, and once the property manager found out we had a 4-month old baby, she offered to upgrade us to a larger property at no additional cost, which was really lovely of them to do.The property was very clean, tidy and well looked after. However, there were a few issues that me and my partner would like to highlight; firstly, the kettle provided needs to be replaced asap, there is so much limescale inside that it has turned a chalk white, and when heating up you can see these white bits floating about in the water. Secondly, you can't park outside the property because the garages below where you are staying are in constant use by the gardener, cleaner, and anyone else who has a key really; which is where me and my partner had a real issue. As you come in through the front door, there is another door straight ahead of you that leads to a utility room, and through that you find the garages, these doors remained unlocked for the duration of our stay, and provided constant access to the place we were supposed to call home' to anyone who might have a key, this led to restless nights where i was on high alert because I didn't feel safe and secure. Thirdly, I think the water quality may need checking, on top of the limescale in the kettle, if you run the tap for a glass of water - leave it running for several minutes, otherwise you will have a cloudy glass with bits floating in..very concerning. Furthermore, please please do a thorough sweep of your property, we found a glass with a large crack running through it but was placed with the others which I would have used had my partner not noticed the crack.Apart from these few things, the property was always warm, there was plenty of light, the shower was incredible, and the bed was the epitome of supreme comfort.~ Anthony, Bethany & Ava Rose

Thank you Anthony, Bethany and Ava for your review of The Sycamore. We are delighted you found the cottage to be clean, tidy and well looked after. We are disappointed to learn that you did not contact the property owner during your stay to raise any of the concerns mentioned in your review. As part of the booking conditions, we do ask that guests report any issues during their stay in order to try and give the owner or their property manager a fair opportunity to rectify any issues. A contact telephone number and email address are provided in the welcome email in case of such an event. We have sent your feedback on to the owner for them to review. The property manager has assured us that it is only themselves, the gardener and housekeeper that has access to the area mentioned. The property does lie within a hard water area but they will review your comments and implement any appropriate actions for the benefit of future guests. We hope that overall you enjoyed your time exploring the Cotswold and that we hope to welcome you back again soon.
