We brought in the new year in this sweet cottage. Great kitchen, well equipped. Some rooms a bit low for a tall son. We situated for visiting the area.

Gasson's View is a charming old cottage with a nice light kitchen extension in the pretty village of Filkins in the Cotswolds. It was a lovely place to spend a family Christmas with four adults, two children and a dog. The area has lots of good walks, excellent local pubs with delicious food and a useful village shop just around the corner. Unfortunately, the condition of the cottage isn't quite as good as it should be. Whilst the kitchen had plenty of cooking utensils for Christmas lunch, the largest of the electric cooker rings wasn't working and we were only provided with two refuse bags for all our rubbish/recycling which proved a challenge. The downstairs shower room/toilet seems quite new but the upstairs bathroom is shabby and in need of renovation (the cold water tap for the bath hardly works, and the lighting is very poor). In addition, more attention needs to paid to housekeeping - there were several lightbulbs not working which made a difference in the short dark days of winter. We did have a Christmas tree in the living room which was a nice touch but can we suggest perhaps a welcome pack of tea, bread, biscuits etc. and some little bottles of bath toiletries.

Comfortable quaint cottage. Well equipped. Great location. Stairs very steep. Shame there was only a few bits of fire wood provided and there were a great deal of fly’s both dead and alive in the attic bedroom. However we enjoyed our stay and made the most of the lovely local pub.

We’ve booked with Stay Cotswolds before and have found them to be very efficient and have a very good standard of properties in their portfolio. Sadly, not this time. The house was filled with various insects and wasn’t cleaned thoroughly and it could use some new furniture. Understand that the antiques are perhaps part of the charm but some of the upholstery is quite dated. Filkins is quite a charming town with an excellent pub though. The sheets are all clean and beds are comfortable. However, the master bedroom did smell like a dog. A good carpet wash might be necessary to get rid of smells.

The bedrooms were excellent, although the bed in the smaller double room was slightly too small. The stairs are a challenge for both old and young folks, so need some care when using. The only shower is located within the kitchen, which meant a daily queue and lacked a little privacy. The garden was in a poor state and the path to the larger part of the garden not particularly child or pet friendly, with overhanging branches and too easy access to the neighbour's garden. Both garden spaces could use some TLC. The location and village is wonderful, with a friendly & convenient local shop and a local pub where food was exceptional. Could have been perfect.

We spent a wonderful pre-Christmas weekend with our children and grandchildren in this very comfortable and atmospheric cottage. It was very well-equipped with a wonderfully practical kitchen which enabled us to cook a celebratory meal for us all and very comfortable lounge where we were able to enjoy an evening of charades in front of a roaring fire! We explored the quintessentially Cotswold village of Filkins and ended our weekend with a wonderful lunch at the Five Alls pub which has a well-deserved great reputation and was only 5 minutes walk from the cottage. The booking procedure was very straightforward and the staff and guest information was everything we would have hoped for.

Beautiful place. Exactly what we wanted for a quite weekend. Would recommend the Fives alls inn in the village.

The cottage was booked for a week to act as a base for my son's wedding at Filkins but also for my wife to enjoy a few days on our own; we know the Cotswolds reasonably well but not this particular area around Lechlade. The number of bedrooms allowed family members to stay with us. However due to unforeseen circumstances we had to curtail our stay to just 3 days. However, the cottage was superb and was just what we wanted for our family base. Spotlessly clean with excellent facilities, the kitchen had everything that you could have wanted. It opened out into a conservatory/dining area ideal for family breakfasts whilst the dining room was ideal for a meal, cooked in the impressive surroundings of the kitchen. The bedrooms were of ample size although we only used one, and an upstairs bathroom was supplemented by a lovely downstairs shower room. The heating was excellent and there was ample hot water. The most impressive thing though (apart from its proximity to the excellent Five Alls pub) was its 'homeliness'. It was a pleasure to come back after a day out and be able to relax in a warm, welcoming living room with an abundance of comfy sofas and armchairs (before heading to The Five Alls!!). It is with regret that we had to abandon our stay and we fully understand why it was not possible to reimburse us any of the fee, although we are grateful to StayCotswold for offering us a 10% discount on a future booking though them.

The cottage was very quaint but access was quite difficult for older guests due to the very narrow , steep staircases. The kitchen area was very nicely fitted out and the garden space was great - we felt the bedrooms and upstairs bathroom could benefit from some modernisation though. The area was lovely and local pub very welcoming.

We enjoyed our week at Gasson’s View. The accommodation was roomy and the beds very comfortable. The house is well equipped and clean. The courtyard seating area is very pleasant and the garden is beautifully shaded, so ideal for the children. The village is well situated for visits to various Cotswold attractions. When the toaster broke, it was replaced very speedily and the staff at Staycotswold were very helpful.

It certainly was well placed for where we wanted. It was fine for what we needed the cottage for. I didn’t find it particularly comfortable.

Had a fantastic stay at Gassons View. Beautiful cottage in a lovely village and great location to see all of the surrounding Cotswolds. Would definitely recommend! Thanks to all the team at Stay Cotswolds for making it such a great break!
