Reviews

3.3/5

On arrival the cottage was very cold, no heating was on and it was a very cold night. Knowing guests are arriving it would be prudent to leave the heating on low especially in an old property such as this. The cottage was in a beautiful spot but felt very unhomely, empty spaces and rooms and there was a lot of wasted space which made it feel slightly eerie. The kitchen was poorly equipped and so whilst there was only three of us it was managable but for a family of 6 they would be struggling. In other Stay Cotswold properties we have always found a welcome hamper, and amenities such as washing up liquid, soap and basics however here there was not even a washing up cloth. We had an enjoyable stay but would not choose this property again.

Thank you Bernadette for your review of Ivycroft Cottage. We are pleased to read that you found the property to be in a beautiful spot and you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry to read that the cottage was cold on arrival, the property manager's contact details were provided to you in your welcome email and she would have been able to assist you with the heating. The housekeeper has confirmed that there was washing up liquid and cloths under the sink and a welcome pack of milk and biscuits. We hope you will return to the Cotswolds soon

4.8/5

We loved our stay at Ivycroft - the house is immaculate and very well equipped. The location is beautiful in a small, sleepy village (no shop or pub) but is close to Stroud & Circencester and other lovely spots. Beds were super comfortable. Plenty of space for 3 adults, 2 kids and a dog! Elkstone Studios (3 min drive) has a great bakery/brunch spot. Wifi really isn't great but that's probably due to the rural location. Could have used a dishwasher, seemed odd that there wasn't one given that the house is so well equipped otherwise. There's tumble-dryer in the garage but it wasn't near a plug so we couldn't use it and it was hard to dry clothes in the cold weather. But both are minor things and overall we had a great stay!

4.2/5

Lovely Cottage with lots of space and the garden was a "dogs" paradise. My daughter, new born baby had 4 wonderful days just "chilling" the weather was rubbish, so spent a large amount of time staying at the property and taking the dogs for walks. The cottage is very comfortable and warm (actually gutted that I could night light one of the beautiful fires). There are two reception rooms, so if you want time alone, plenty of space to do your own thing. Kitchen is great but work surface space is limited, but it is a holiday cottage, so not a biggie. Did miss not having a Dishwasher though. Cottage is in a quiet hamlet but the road is very busy, but due to the thickness of the walls etc. you did not hear anything. I think the only gripe I would have would be the state of the BBQ and also the lack of outside Garden furniture, obviously we could not really sit outside due to bad weather, but if it was the middle of summer and no garden table, chairs to sit and eat at would really annoy me. I wondered if they have been packed away but nothing store in the garage. Just one tiny table and two chairs which is not much use if 6 people are staying. Otherwise yes i would recommend the cottage, so relaxing and comfortable
