About this cottage rental

Throughout the cottage is a plethora of charming original features including a cosy open fireplace. These period features have been combined with a modern and airy kitchen complete with a skylight and bi-fold doors letting in ample natural light. Outside, the patio is a little suntrap, ideal for alfresco dining in the warmer months and relaxing with loved ones. Gassons View is located in the pretty countryside village of Filkins, an idyllic location for a countryside escape with one medium sized dog.

We had a great stay at Gasson's View to visit family in Filkins. It's a charming space, perfect for our party of 7 to relax, and enjoy. The property manager even left us some treats in the fridge and some fresh Cotswold eggs. We'll be back!

Gassons View is a lovely little cottage oozing character in the cutest of villages with a fantastic pub near by. We stayed for 2 nights and generally enjoyed our stay. We played games by the fire and slept well but would say we were disappointed by the condition of the property. The garden was very overgrown and scruffy, there was mould on the wall in the bunk room right by the bed and the whole place looked in need of a deep clean and freshen up (we found dead flies, cobwebs and wood louse). Not what we expected for the price. Otherwise beds were very comfy and it was very peaceful. I think management need to inspect the property and get the owners to have a good spring clean, garden tidy, clean windows and fix the mould before renting it out again.

The cottage is much larger than it looks in photos and the village is absolutely idyllic. Perfect for families and couples alike

We have previously reported some issues directly to StayCotswold who said they would raise these with the owner and Property Manager to ensure they are rectified for future guests, sadly we have not received any feedback. The property is ideally situated in the lovely village of Filkins and adequately accommodated our party of seven. Although generally clean the property could do with a deep clean, wood louse infestation in the bathrooms and poorly draining shower. The property was quite dusty resulting in the smoke alarm being activated on three occasions, a quick blow of the dust from the detector resolved this. The small bedroom with bunk beds is uninhabitable due to damp/mould behind the door. The towel rail in the downstairs bathroom requires immediate attention as it trips the consumer unit when switched on. Rubbish removal is an issue, the recycling bin was already overflowing even though left by the rear gate as requested, there was no sign of the grey General waste bin and the garden waste bin in the garden shed was overflowing. The information in the property was dated 2020/21. The gardens were totally overgrown and not practical for sitting out or having a bbq.

Cosy and central to major roads and places. Lovely time with family. Need a car to get extra shopping bits. Local shop only opens for 1 hour and you need to pre order goods.

My sisters and I had a lovely weekend at Gassons View. It provided everything we needed in a beautiful location. The village of Filkins was very welcoming and the thriving village shop was perfect for a few bits and pieces. We didn’t venture into the pool, but in the height of summer would have been perfect. As others have said, the main part of the house is very old, so may not be suitable for those who are tall or have mobility issues, but this didn’t matter for us shorties. The kitchen extension is more recent and we enjoyed sitting at the table in the evening, although the proximity of the aircraft coming into the nearby airfields took us a bit by surprise! Our only wish was that, as keen gardeners, we had brought our gloves and secateurs with us to have more of a tidy up (we couldn’t resist having a good weed of the front path though). There is also a delightful grassed area at the bottom of the garden not mentioned in the details. If it had been mowed/maintained it would have been a great area to relax and catch up under the shade of the trees.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Gassons View over Christmas. The cottage is lovely. The fireplace is original and it was great to light the fire. The beds were very comfy. Nice big kitchen and welcome goodies of milk, fresh eggs, butter etc were much appreciated. Only negative comment is the fact we were only left one black bag for rubbish under the sink and dustbins and glass box were already full.
