Most guests found the cottage clean and well-presented, but a few noted areas where cleanliness could be improved, such as kitchen utensils and windows. The overall impression remains positive, with only minor cleanliness issues reported.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views and peaceful village setting. Guests appreciate the proximity to local amenities and the ease of access to walks and other Cotswold destinations.
The cottage is generally regarded as comfortable and cosy, with a warm atmosphere and comfortable beds. However, some guests mentioned issues with heating on the upper floors and the firmness of mattresses and pillows.
Facilities are well-received, particularly the kitchen and welcome hamper. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as problems with the shower temperature, Wi-Fi stability, and the open fire. These issues have slightly impacted the overall experience.
Guests often mention the thoughtful touches, such as the welcome hamper with essentials. While these are appreciated, it is noted that such gifts are a pleasant addition but not guaranteed with every stay.
Perfect for a romantic getaway for two, this lovingly renovated and fully modernised cottage complete with Cotswold stone fireplace, open fire, Aga and pretty garden with sun terrace, is ideal for a break in the Cotswolds throughout the seasons.
Originally built for the workers of the many silk mills operating in the village during the mid 19th century, Foxtail Cottage sits within a charming terraced row of cottages with enviable rear views over a deer park and rolling Cotswold countryside.
At the ground level you will be greeted via an entrance hall into the impressive, dual aspect sitting and dining area with Cotswold stone inglenook fireplace, oak flooring and tasteful furnishings, perfect for retiring to when evening draws in. Downstairs at the lower ground level is a delightful surprise with a beautiful kitchen complete with Aga, leading into the light filled garden room, furnished as a second sitting room to enjoy the wonderful rear views by day and features bi-folding doors out to the decked area overlooking the pretty garden. The garden leads you down a few steps to a large sun terrace with sun loungers, a bistro set, Weber charcoal barbecue and chiminea. There are often deer in the park directly behind the sun terrace and if you are lucky, they will wander right up to the perimeter fence!
