Luxury dog friendly holiday cottage in the Cotswolds with a hot tub - Shaven Cottage

This is a very well presented cottage in the heart of the Cotswolds and we truly had a fantastic weekend. We visited with a group of friends to celebrate a 60th birthday and we couldn't have been happier with the standard of the accommodation and how it was presented. The cottage was cleaned to a high standard and was presented very well. The kitchen is very well equipped, better than our own homes, and everything was in working order. All the bedrooms are lovely and friends all stated how comfortable they were. We did use the hot tub on a couple of occasions and it was a great addition for us to get together at the end of our walks. The new property managers, Clive and Carlie were extremely helpful and on the end of telephone all weekend if we needed them, which we didn't, but reassuring to know we could call them at any time. All in all, a lovely, cozy and comfortable cottage that we would highly recommend if you are looking for a break with friends or family.

Beautiful cottage, well furnished, good layout to cater for 3 generations of a family. Good area for walks. Garden and hot tub lovely. In need of a good clean and de cluttering - hard to find anywhere to actually put a glass down or use the bedside table due to oversize lamps etc. Supposedly decorated for Christmas - 2 cheap plastic collapsible Xmas trees is hardly in keeping with the cottage, the lights didn’t even have working batteries. I’d specifically checked about Xmas decorations otherwise we would have brought our own, luckily Amazon to the rescue. If we’re paying a premium for the Xmas period I expect some effort towards Xmas decorations. The bedroom on its own was always freezing. The constant traffic outside the front bedrooms is noisy. Communication before arrival was very poor ( we are regularly property renters and I would say it’s the worst I’ve experienced), it was either wait until 3 weeks before arrival, don’t know or questions not answered, but very clear on what we couldn’t do. I think we left it cleaner and tidier than we found it having got the hoover working, cleaned and organised the kitchen cupboards and drawers and washed the floors.

Cottage was lovely nice area lovely village, overall nothing wrong cottage could do with deep clean,well equipped.

The house was in a lovely area. The local pubs were great - The Hare, The Lamb Inn. Great coffee shop at Rise & Flour. The house was clean, lovely decor and really homely. Kitchen had everything you need. The only one slight negative is no downstairs toilet but otherwise it was totally perfect. Really recommend.
