Bridge Cottage is a delightful, comfortable, well equipped cottage. 2 of the 3 bathrooms were quite small. We had an incident when one of the beds collapsed on our first night, however, this was fixed the very next day. The location of the cottage is fantastic in proximity to Stowe-on-the-Wold (with many great pubs and restaurants!) and other surrounding villages. One thing that definitely needs mentioning is that the car park is dangerous to get out off (mainly during the day!) as the property is on a rather busy country road next to the bridge where cars fly around the corner which made it very tricky to get out! Apart from that we had a wonderful week. All communication with Rural Retreats was great too.
A very enjoyable stay, overall the cottage was good, just a few niggles - we booked because of the 3 bathrooms to go with the 3 bedrooms. Both of the ensuites were quite small but ok however the 3rd bathroom was really only suitable for small adults or children. All the internal doors had latch type locks which although quaint were also annoying in that some were awkward to open and also noisy especially if you're trying to be quiet first thing in the morning.
THE COTTAGE MATCHED THE DISCRIPTION
Lovely place, nice surroundings. Wish it was mine.
Nice comfortable well equipped cottage. Possible rats or mice in attic, scrabbling around every night in the attic.
Thank you for bringing the mice to our attention. Pest control has now sorted the issue.
Really good, location to have a walking holiday. Surrounded by lovely Cotswolds villages only a short hike away. Dog friendly and garden great for them to run around. Cottage is great, spacious, comfortable and has everything you need for a holiday. Parking enough for 3-4 cars. Generous sized Bedrooms. Would go again
Well equipped and well maintained. Conveniently located for access to services.
Very lovely cottage in a great area. We fitted lots of lovely things into our week. Clean, comfy beds and very well equipped. It would have been 5 stars but the ensuite bathroom in the third bedroom didn't smell very pleasant (possibly a drains/septic tank issue) so we couldn't use it and had to keep the door shut and the room aired. Luckily we only needed to use that room for the first couple of days. I am sure it is fixable (we left a note) and the cottage was very lovely, hence the 4 stars. We also had a small issue with a mysterious beeping which turned out to be coming from the alarm system but Rural Retreats were brilliant and sent a handyman immediately to sort it while we were out for the day! Great customer service.
Great location and good cottage. Garden could do with a spruce up but perfect for dogs. Quite a busy road so care must be taken when exiting at the bridge. Wonderful hamper - so well chosen and generous. Thank you - a great welcome!
Lovely accommodation, very well appointed, nice bedrooms, nice bathrooms, nice kitchen. Access is a problem getting in and out specially when you have three cars parked outside but overall very nice. This was our second visit to Bridge Cottage but we would now be interested in similar properties in that area. We are aware of Bank Cottage in Longborough but feel that the steep stairs would be a problem. We need three bedrooms, three bathrooms and able to bring two dogs.
A beautiful cottage, very clean, spacious and very well equipped. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise. Our dog loved the back garden! Fantastic spot if you like walking with a walking route right at the side of the cottage. A fantastic weekend!
Loved our stay. The welcome pack was great!! And the house had everything we needed (except flannels for face washing). Loved the house and location. We could have stayed longer. We give Bridge Cottage 4.6 out of 5. Opportunities for improvement are most outside lights did not work. Flannels would be great. Bed mattress could be better. Otherwise amazing and loved it!! Thank you!
Two of the bathrooms had no heat and the separate shower was variable. Standard of cleanliness not as expected for a property at this price. Lots of positives but generally we all felt it was overpriced in comparison to other cottages we have rented.
What a shame that you did not let us know about the heating problems during your stay as we would have arranged for them to be sorted. Our sincere apologies regarding the standard of cleaning and this has been reported to those concerned.
Love this cottage and will definitely go back. But looking rather tired a change for the worst in just over a year since we stayed there last.
We really enjoyed our first visit to Bridge Cottage. It looked very cosy when we arrived on a very wet and windy day lights were on and lovely and warm. Our only problem was the heating in one of the bedrooms, the radiator nor the towel rAil were working. Rural retreAts dealt with it the next day but the room was very cold the first night. We also feel more outside lighting at the back would be helpful. We have already booked to return in June 2020.
Wonderful location and attention to detail in this beautifully presented cottage
