Corner Cottage

Excellent location, very homely and always enjoy our stays at Corner Cottage. Heating seems set too low ,didn't come on in the morning, apart from the bathrooms.

Corner Cottage is a very nice cottage in a lovely village but we did have a couple of problems that, as it turned out, were not exclusive to this cottage. We found it was invaded to a minor degree with wood lice, but this is a problem more to do with the weather and it is not the only cottage in the area with the problem. There was also a damp smell throughout, (which was commented on by previous guests in the reviews), that we got used to so that didn't spoil our experience too much. The feedback from the agency was very good and the housekeeper, Keith, came around and explained the background to the problem of the bugs. He offered to clean the cottage again but as we were leaving in two days anyway we declined the offer. As I say, we got used to the problems, and they didn't spoil our experience too much. The village is ideally situated to explore the Cotswolds and the cottage was nicely decorated and the double bed on the first floor was comfortable, but being only a double it was too small for two adults I felt and one of us slept in the single bed on the first floor. We abandoned the double bed on the top floor because it seemed to be favoured by the bugs, whereas the ground and first floor not so much.

This was our 3rd time in this cottage and we love how charming it is and had a lovely stay. The interior design and the attention to detail is a credit to the owner. The welcome hamper pack was truly welcoming. However this time we feel the need to address a few issues we had we are sure that they are all solvable. Housekeeping this time was not good in certain areas, it hadn't been hovered in the lounge,food particles were in the rug and the floor was dirty,wife had to hoover soon after we arrived. The floor of the ensuite on the top floor was not cleaned and there were lots of cobwebs everywhere. Other issues were that the heating was locked. When the heating was needed it was an inconvenience to have to phone the number provided to get it turned on so we didn't bother. It was needed in the shower rooms and a couple of evenings when we returned from a meal out it had that chilly damp feel. I know this was in late August but late evening temperatures can drop. Another suggestion is to put some cushioned covering on the beam in the top floor bedroom,hit your head on that and you see stars for days. There is also a bad smell coming from the shower on the top floor. We hope these issues can be resolved.

When we arrived it was as good as I remembered it from last year. The housekeeper who looks after the house is really helpful and very responsive, she helped with the hot water and lack of floor towel for the shower immediately. The bathroom paint is lifting on the ceiling but aside from cobwebs on the ceilings, the cottage is perfect. Cosy, perfectly located and very tastefully decorated. It’s the second time we’ve stayed and I’m sure we’ll hope to stay again.
