Pet friendly Cotswold holiday accommodation with two bedrooms

This was the second time we have stayed and we shall be back. The flat is extremely clean and despite the cold weather we were very comfortable.

The Lady Cotswold is a beautiful property in the heart of the Cotswolds. The location is great, and directions to the apartment were great, as was the access and everything needed to get there. The place itself, whilst beautifully decorated was a little tired and lacking in places - to be very picky, some peeling wallpaper and random books/ornaments all around, even a paper napkin holder in the bathroom! The kitchen provides the very basic in terms of cleaning products, but overall well stocked, if not a random selection. The bedrooms were great, extremely comfy beds, and same goes for the living space too - a great table to dine at, and comfy sofas and fire. The biggest let down, unfortunately, were the instructions and contact from the host. The instructions provided were minimal and on ragged pieces of paper and when we needed to contact our host during our stay regarding the hot water, we got no response. There was also no welcome basket or provisions left for us - I appreciate this isn't at all a requirement, but most places at least provide milk for a cup of tea and perhaps an egg or two; considering the place is owned by the same people as The Cotswold Guy farm shop downstairs, we think you missed a trick here to provide something to welcome us. Overall, however, we did really love the place (and got the hot water working in the end) - I would recommend it, as it is a beautiful property and you can't fault the location -The Hollow Bottom is a 5 minute walk and does a great Sunday lunch too! Additionally, we cannot fault StayCotswold, their communication and provision of things to do in the area was endless and really helpful; will defintiely use them as a company in the future! Thank you!

The Cotswold Lady is in a beautiful location, with views over the chocolate box village green. It is fairly quiet with a couple of pubs, a cafe, deli and lots of fabulous walks. The main problems we had were that we felt it could have been a bit cleaner, in particular the floors didn't seem to have been mopped for a while. The two bedrooms are situated over the shop/deli downstairs so there is noise from about 7.30 am when the kitchen opens. We also found that there was plenty of hot water in the mornings but none at night even though we switched on the booster as suggested by the house manager. Finally, some basic equipment seemed to be missing such as a dustpan and brush and a broom. We broke a glass and eventually had to clear it up using kitchen roll as there was nothing else available and the house contact did not seem very interested in assisting us. Having said that, the staff in the deli were very helpful and friendly and maybe we were just unlucky. Overall, I would recommend it, mainly because of the location, but with reservations as mentioned above.
