A wonderful cottage in a peaceful village on the edge of the Cotswolds.
Always a lovely spot. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Glen again & it’s a fabulous location. Just a bit disappointing that Rural Retreats no longer do the welcome hampers that they used to do. The cottage is really quaint & the gardens are delightful.
Lovely cottage which was well equipped. Well positioned for exploration of the surrounding area. Attractive village with a well stocked village shop and nice tearoom.
My second visit to this beautiful characterful cottage in the heart of the village. Very comfortable and well laid out. Walking distance to a great pub serving excellent food and a community run village store. Lovely walks. Beautiful scenery. Welcome hamper containing locally sourced goodies. A really nice place to spend time with friends. A short taxi ride to Stratford Upon Avon and the theatre. Will definitely visit again.
Lovely cottage, spacious kitchen and dining, good garden fully enclosed fir the dog, great location and fabulous pubs not far away. And of course the welcome hamper and lovely neighbour!
Lovely cottage in a fabulous location.
Absolutely beautiful cottage, calm, peaceful, comfortable and clean. A real escape from the real world. The village is picturesque and the local pub is excellent. Perfect 🌟
very good hospitality. lovely village and surroundings. only reason not to give the fifth star is that no downstairs loo, so had to go upstairs to the two loos there
Beautiful cottage and lovely village. The accommodation was spot on clean and well maintained. It’s is a cosy cottage with lots of space for a family or a party of friends!We would visit again.
Lovely cottage.extremely well fitted and maintained. Very unusual garden. Totally enclosed and Bruno our dog loved it.
Perfect - my family and I had a lovely few days in the comfortable, cosy and well furnished cottage
Very comfortable warm,good kitchen,lovely open fire,good bathrooms,peaceful location Hard floor downstairs,perfect for our dog.
Extremely Comfortable
The Glen was everything we hoped for and more. We had a fabulous week there. It was so well equipped and there were some lovely touches, like the flowers, the welcome hamper, the while company toiletries. The only things I could fault were the WiFi and the second bathroom having no shower curtain. The WiFi was so sporadic, there were days it was fine then it would just go off for 24 hours. Being that there was also no phone signal whatsoever in the cottage or in the village we felt very isolated at times. There was a payphine but that only took old pound coins and not the new ones Apart from this the cottage was indeed 5star.
A simply delightful cottage which felt like a home from home. Only slight criticisms would be the lack of decent knives in the kitchen and when the gardener came to mow. I didn’t realise he was there until I let the dogs out. Not a problem but would be useful to have had a ‘heads uo’!
Fabulous holiday. The house is nice, the garden is spectaular (we were very lucky with the weather!). Ilmington is a beautiful villiage and the community shop and cafe were very convenient and did a great children's hot chocolate. The playground on the outskirts of the village was also top notch, and Hidcote NT Gardens were a very short drive away. Had a fantastic meal at the Fuzzy Duck on evening. Easy access to Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick Castle and Kenilworth Castle. We will be back!
Cosy comfortable and well laid out. Great location to be able to walk to pub
Lovely cottage in a beautiful village. Totally relaxing holiday
The Glen is a very comfortable, pretty cottage in the beautiful peaceful village of Ilmington. It is well equipped. The excellent local community shop and cafe is a short walk. There is a good play park nearby. It is a good location and Stratford upon Avon is only about 20 minutes away by car. Mobile phone signal is patchy in the cottage but you can usually pick up signal nearby. There is a payphone within the property if the need arises.
