Lovely

My family of 4 adults enjoyed our stay here. Poppy was really helpful and good at communicating and kindly provided hypoallergenic bedding for the two of us that have feather allergies. We enjoyed the outside seating and inside facilities and it had everything we needed for a pleasurable stay.

An incredible holiday home - it really is as good as the photos - perhaps better! Peaceful, clean, cosy yes spacious. Poppy is a very communicative and gracious host. Thank you!

We stayed for a long weekend to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday. The property was perfect for the occasion with enough space for the family to get together or spread out as appropriate. The facilities were excellent, although as the weather was kind we mostly used the terrace and barbecue area.

Lovely stay in beautiful house with a view. Many places to sit and enjoy the outdoors. On a very steep hill with very badly maintained lane ,called dark lane , which was the only downside. Poppy was very informative and helpful. Very quick to answer any queries. Thank you for an amazing time with family.

A beautiful home that did not disappoint. Excellent facilities, quality linen, clean and extremely comfortable. Plenty of space for 6 adults and 2 children under 5 years old and a perfect setting for celebrating Easter away from the hustle and bustle of London. Local farm shop a hit as well as our trip to Cirencester.

This house was perfect for our family get together. Plenty of space for everyone - very quiet with beautiful views across the valley.

This property was spotless clean with good quality bedding and towels, starter pack was ideal with bits and pieces in cupboards. Only problem was that I was driving a defender which didn’t give me much room to get through dark lane with barely an inch or two at each side, would be ok in a smaller car, garden not safe for children. My overall review of this property for 3 days with 8 adults, we had a great time and went out every day, I recommend visiting Burton on the water so beautiful.

The Woodlands was perfect for our family weekend break away. Rooms spacious and house well looked after. Would def stay again

We stayed here with family in January and the views, home and surroundings were amazing! The home is exceptionally well decked out with a cozy feeling and had all we needed for a stay with while visiting England. The proximity to all the places we wanted to visit was an added perk (Stratford, Cadbury World, Bristol, Bath were all around 1-1 1/2 hours away). We rented a minivan for the trip which did prove a challenge to get to the property but as others suggested, going around the back way helped. All 4 rooms were well appointed and having a bath for our 4 year old was essential and perfect after a long day. Fast internet, games and some fun books were all available. Can’t wait to stay again! Thank you

We had a great time at the woodlands celebrating the end of 2022 with friends and our young families. It was a great location that was nice and secluded even though the hill up was scary for my car lol. Would love to come back in the summer as i imagine the views would be amazing.

We loved the property. The access road is steep and described as unsuitable for Vehicles. This is not a problem when the weather is good but after a heavy snow storm we were unable to get out. That being said I valued the sympathetic help offered by our host. Thank you.

Quiet few days catching up friends. The house was very comfortable and warm. We loved every thing about the house .. the beds were very comfortable with high quality bedding. We enjoyed sitting out in the garden and chatting. There was plenty of space to sit inside and the piano was a welcome addition. The area surrounding the house is very pretty. Two coffee shops within walking distance.

We had a really great time staying at The Woodlands as a family celebrating a big birthday. The property / garden was fantastic, with incredible views and lots of sunshine throughout the days. The location was great for both short and long walks. The owner was really communicative from the time of booking at the start of the year right through to the end of our stay, which was so helpful in planning and enjoying our time away. Overall we had a wonderful stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful property.

The Woodlands was accurately described and had wonderful views. Host was very responsive to any questions and communication was a breeze. Nicely decorated and furnished - thank you for the wonderful time.

The contact with the management/ owner of the property was excellent and there is an excellent digital handbook provided which is extremely good and provides local information as well as property information. The house was a perfect size for 2 of us even though it had 4 bedrooms. We thought it would better suit 4 guests as the bedrooms weren’t overly large and there are only 2 bathrooms upstairs ( there is of course a lovely large shower room downstairs) However that’s is just our view as we like to have plenty of space!! It’s worth noting - The property is located in a road with a very narrow and very steep lane. The area generally is very hilly so local people are used to this. However - although it wasn’t a problem to us - we did think that it might not suit a person with a low slung car or even a person with limited mobility who was planning on walking straight from the house Overall we had a good break and there are some nice villages to visit in the area- all mentioned in the digital guide book

Wow. What a beautiful place. We had a fantastic long weekend in this beautiful place. The house is wonderfully equipped and has the most amazing views. Really comfortable beds with gorgeous linen. The weather was not great on our weekend but it made no difference as there was so many lovely areas in the house to sit and watch nature. Communication with Poppy has been excellent through out. We would definitely love to return.

We absolutely LOVED this property! So beautifully and professionally furnished and decorated!! I would live here... Fantastic location in the Cotswolds, close to many great hikes and pubs. Road to get to is super steep but added to the ambiance :) Plenty of space for us all and had everything needed for our 1 year old too! We hope to be back! Thank you Poppy!

Spent a very enjoyable long weekend here with friends. We found the house to be very comfortable and well equipped and we were fortunate to have good weather so made full use of the various outside seating areas. The village is incredibly pretty and the local countryside has plenty of walking opportunities and places to find refreshment. Would particularly recommend the Lavender Bakehouse & Coffee Shop for breakfast and the Lamb Inn in Eastcombe for Sunday lunch.

Firstly, the lane leading to this property from the main road ( near the wedding dress shop) is STEEP and you cannot see uncoming cars. Not for the novice driver, but we found using the other road in Old Neighbourhood far better. That aside, the property location was beautiful. Poppy was helpful and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch. The house easily accommodates eight adults, spacious living areas and the marvellous view in the main area was a treat to sit with a morning coffee. The kitchen is very well equipped, the top grill plate was very useful. We used the outside area on our return from long walks , such a perfect end to a day. The beds were very comfortable. Luxury toiletries / towels were a plus and good showers. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much, memorable ✨️

The property was excellent, brilliantly furnished and a stunning location! Perfect place to celebrate my birthday! Will definitely go back!

We hardly spent any time indoors as the gardens and surroundings were absolutely stunning. The Woodlands is an amazing place to relax and spend time with family. Fully equipped with everything we needed and more. Luxury items made our stay all the more comfortable. Plenty of space indoors and out. Poppy the Host kept in good communication before and throughout our stay and made checking in and out effortless. Would 1000% recommend The Woodlands

The Woodlands is a beautiful house with everything you could possibly need for an easy stay. The living rooms are great for families with plenty of seating. The kitchen has all necessary utensils and appliances. The bedrooms have comfy beds and lovely views. Finally the garden area has the sun all day and is well furnished. We had a wonderful stay to celebrate my 70 th birthday with my family and everyone enjoyed it.

Great house and location. Loved the outdoor areas, saw deer every morning. Perfect house for family dinners, plenty of space in the living areas.

Nice

Great house, lots of space, really cosy! Really good communication and nice welcome basket! Great touches throughout, would highly recommend. Really nice neighbourhood and great location. Access may be tricky for some as on a very steep narrow hill.

7 Adults and dog , spent four wonderful nights here celebrating my 60th. Great kitchen fully stocked for cooking in, fantastic dining area for big family meals. Great lounging areas for cosy nights in, with log fire. Bedrooms were comfy. Although we didn’t get the opportunity to sit out , in the summer it would be brilliant with all the seating areas. A great place to stay thanks very much!

Booked the house for my husbands 60th birthday and wasn't disappointed. The house is beautiful with so much attention to detail. The lounge areas have amazing views and the outside lighting at night really is stunning as you walk through the front gates. There is everything you could need in the kitchen, a real home from home. We spent most of the 3 days at the house relaxing as it seemed too comfortable to leave. We went to the Lavender Bakery for breakfast, the food was lovely but would advise booking the day before as it does get very busy, also booked a birthday meal at The Ragged Cot in nearby Stroud (approx 15 mins away), great staff with exceptional food. The hill to reach the house is a little steep (as a previously said) but don't let that put you off as its definitely worth it once you arrive and not a problem at all once you've done it once.

Three of us arranged a work retreat, the Woodlands was ideal in location; out of the way, spacious, and scenic. Our arrival was at night we found the property fairly easily, the incline is quite steep driving up to the property, I was glad I had a suitable vehicle. (Good to note here; if arriving after dark there is a black box about knee hight next to the gate, open that up and flip the switch, the lights will illuminate the path right up to the house). The house is a great location up high with wonderful views, we also ventured to the local supermarket (Tescos), visited the local Co-op for essentials supplies, and the local village shop for fire wood. I would recommend buying plenty of fire wood, this is not supplied with your stay (one fires worth, to get you started). Also the fire seems to have lost its airtightness so the fire burns very intensely but quickly, the local garage sells logs (one bag will keep for about 4-5 hours), kindelling is sold by the sack in the local village shop not far away. My only niggle was the master bedroom shower & sink, and kitchen sink drainage was problematic, but an easy fix for the cleaning team. We spent most of our time in the house looking out at the views, writing, brainstorming, filming (we make videos), and eating. It was a very pleasant and productive stay! Thank you to Poppy for being so incredibly responsive throughout the booking process! Very impressive. Best, Matthew, Angus, and Liz

Wonderful place to stay, felt really peaceful and secluded.

We have just returned from a weekend at The Woodlands for my mum’s 60th birthday. It was recommended to us by my friend who had stayed with her family. This house is so beautiful and feels like home as soon as you arrive. There are so many beautiful touches, including the white company toiletries, and the most incredible view from the huge windows. I am always funny about the cleanliness of places that we stay in, but it was spotless. The kitchen is fully stocked with every utensil you could think of! We also sat in the morning sunshine on the beautiful patio furniture as the house is a real sun trap - even in November! We were sad to leave this morning and will definitely return again in the summer. We have made the best memories and have some beautiful photographs. I would 100% recommend this getaway. Thank you to the fantastic host for your communication and help.
