Fergus

Fergus founded StayCotswold following a career in event management in London. As a resident in the Cotswolds since the millennium, he and his wife, Millie, launched StayCotswold and Property Search Co. to offer holiday/short lets plus a search/relocation service to anyone coming to the Cotswolds.

Fergus is passionate about the area and all it has to offer to both visitors and anyone who wants to live here!

James

Key Account Director

I work on finding our clients mid - longer lets in our most exclusive homes as well after investing significant time into our Property Search clients. I am based in our satellite office in Cheltenham, where I am lucky enough to live too.

Having grown up in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, I have a genuine passion for the area and feel very lucky to live and breathe it day in, day out.

I thrive on going above and beyond for our clients, so please don’t hesitate to contact me any time of day – this can often be the difference between clinching you that perfect property.

When not scouring the Cotswolds for you…you can find me on the cricket field, golf course or at a sporting venue of some description around the world!

Carie Ann

I had the pleasure of joining the fantastic StayCotswold team in October 2018 bringing almost 10 years of experience in the industry along with me. I am a country girl at heart and feel very lucky to be working in such a beautiful part of the country. I work on finding our clients the perfect property to meet their requirements for their Cotswold stay and the day to day owner management. I thoroughly enjoy the satisfaction of seeing through enquiries from start to finish, and love hearing all about our clients stays.

My ideal property: Would be a beautiful barn conversion set in the countryside, with a large open plan living space for entertaining and a south facing garden to enjoy the summer evenings in.

Kia Ora! I’m Jaime and I’m a member of the StayCotswold dream team, in the vital role of Operations Manager. I’ve flown half way around the world, from New Zealand,  to be here and I am definitely feeling blessed to work in such a gorgeous area!

I have an OCD eye for detail and love the property management scene! 

My favourite Cotswold area: Bourton-On-The-Water for its gorgeous charm and unique aspect of the river running directly through the centre of the village!

Carol

Hello, I’m Carol and if you call StayCotswold you are likely to speak to me! I manage enquiries into StayCotswold via phone and email. Don’t worry if you don’t speak English – I speak 5 languages so hopefully there won’t be any communication problems.

My ideal property would be Chimney Farm Barns as it is pet friendly – I have 2 miniature dachshunds. I love to walk with the dogs and Chimney Meadow Nature reserve is a beautiful place to do this.

Annabel

Property and the Law are my two passions so I get to feed both of them on a daily basis, whilst working with some truly stunning properties in my favourite part of the country.

My Perfect Sunday: A nice long walk in the Cotswolds, ending up at a traditional pub for a yummy roast dinner and glass of wine by the fire. 

Ideal Property: A cottage with a big kitchen and its own vineyard.

Helen

My name is Helen and I am a marketing consultant working with StayCotswold. I provide over twenty years of marketing experience along with local knowledge and contacts, as I have lived in the Cotswolds since 2003. I enjoy promoting StayCotswold and all the Cotswolds has to offer.  What better way to experience this beautiful area than by staying in a holiday cottage in the Cotswolds provided by “The Best Holiday Cottage Company in the Cotswolds”!

My ideal property would be Upton Downs Farmhouse, for a great big family get together, with Upton Firehouse on the doorstep for a fabulously relaxed BBQ dinner for everyone.

Martin

2019 marked a new beginning for StayCotswold and I am privileged to be part of it by heading up our new Maintenance Division as Operations Director. The team and I will now be offering refurbishment and maintenance services to our clients. We have a wealth of experience to help design and implement your ideas for your ideal property as well as fixing those niggly problems that occur from time to time.

I am a qualified plumber by trade but spent a good deal of my early life as a project manager for a number of blue chip companies. I am a keen sports fan and enjoy rugby, cricket, football and almost any other competitive sport. I occasionally play squash and golf when I find the time!

I live in the area having migrated from London in the early 1990s; I wouldn’t live anywhere else if you paid me!

Tom

This brings me a very varied working day in some of the most beautiful locations in the Cotswolds. The maintenance team spend time ensuring the smooth running of our properties and we are there should there be any emergencies. I bring a wealth of hands on experience from previous maintenance and handyman jobs.
