Amazing Cottage
Ford Bank Cottage is gorgeous. Extremely comfortable and with everything we needed, it was a home-from-home. Excellent location too, with a great pub just a few minute’s walk away. We would be very happy to come back.

Beautiful property in a lovely spot
We enjoyed a lovely weekend stay at Ford Bank Cottage. The house was lovely, well equipped and had a lovely feel about it. The property managers were very good at customer service and responded to us very quickly when we asked questions during our stay. Would love to return for a bit longer next time!

A wonderful holiday cottage
We stayed at Ford Bank Cottage to celebrate my Mum's 70th. There were 5 adults, a 2 year old and 3 dogs. The house was a perfect size for our party. The log burner in the living room made for cosy winter evenings and the house was really nicely laid out, with two ensuite bedrooms and a lovely downstairs shower room. We visited some of the surrounding villages for walks and had a walk from the cottage around the gallops. It really was an excellent location and somewhere we would love to.go back to. I would absolutely recommend this property.

The cottage was beautiful and comfortable and ideally situated to reach all the beautiful places in the Cotswolds. We had a lovely time staying with friends for 4 days. Just a couple of things the heating and water was not working properly but the day we left it looked like there was a plumber on site so hopefully resolved . The other thing was that the dog poo bin and the recycling had not been emptied for a long time by the looks of things which I presume is the fault of the cleaning team so perhaps that could be looked into as it meant we did not recycle. I am only putting this on the review so it gets sorted but we loved the cottage and had a very enjoyable stay

Overall a lovely cottage
The cottage is very beautiful and has been styled perfectly. The positives of the cottage were its location. The layout was very comfortable and very clean. Plenty of room for our family to stay for a weekend. The negatives were that the heating was unreliable (which wasn’t ideal when travelling with a young baby), the temperature would drop dramatically as times and the only solution was to reboot the boiler (not ideal at 2am!) the oven initially took quite some time to heat up, so when trying to cook dinner on our first night caused unnecessary delay. There are a lot of steps up to the cottage which if travelling with the elderly could cause another issue. Despite these concerns the manager who was on call for our stay was very helpful and responsive. The cottage really is beautiful and the fireplace was a real highlight. If the heating & oven were looked into i would be able to give a 5star review.
