Reviews

4.5/5

Shaven Cottage is a really lovely property. It's a great size and in a village with a couple of lovely pubs to eat in. The decoration and quality of accommodation was great and the property inside was very clean and well maintained. The three lounges were a nice bonus as the children had their own games room/lounging room. It's well located and close to plenty of other Cotswolds villages and attractions. It's a shame the pub next door wasn't serving food at all while we were there as it looked lovely! Parking is up the side of the house and behind a large gate which is good, but it's quite a narrow driveway if you have a big car. The outside space was nice - the lawn area hadn't been mowed which made clearing up after the dogs trickier, but presumably this would be in the summer. One small disappointment was that the hot tub area hadn't been cleaned since the previous use and there was food on the floor around it. Having reported this, a company arrived to clean the following day however. We thought the standard of accommodation was good value for money, however it was a shame that when we asked for the starter logs we were told that we weren't entitled to them as it was now April. The website noted logs would be provided October to April but evidently they mean October through March. A small detail but for the cost of the property, ambiguous wording on the website and the fact that the hot tub area hadn't been cleaned, a few logs as a gesture would have been appreciated. No welcome hamper either which was a surprise for a high quality property like this (although some milk was provided and a few biscuits). Perhaps we have just been spoilt in previous properties however. These are minor things however, and overall it was lovely: we would recommend this property and would return, but I think some extra touches would make it 5/5 value for money and customer service.

Thank you Suus for your review of Shaven Cottage. We are pleased to read that the property is beautiful and in a lovely location. The decoration and quality of the accommodation was great and it was clean and well maintained. We will pass your feeback onto the property owner for their attention. The hot tub cover had been damaged and the owner has now replaced this cover. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Cotswolds soon.

4.5/5

We were 6 adults and 3 children celebrating a 70th birthday. The cottage was very suitable for us and the hot tub was used a lot. The layout is really good with plenty of room. The fourth bedroom is quite tight when the (uncomfortable) sofa is up. No parking really as on a main road but this did not cause a problem as the pub was happy to take two cars. All in all a great stay.

What a fabulous holiday house, we had the best time in this comfortable home and we enjoyed all the facilities that the house had to offer, very well equipped kitchen with plenty of space for our large family. Would definitely recommend for a family or friends getaway home. Loved it and will definitely be going back one day.
