“You have an abundance of very interesting books throughout the cottage and I would love to learn how and when you amassed the collection.”

Also how did you manage to put the books on the very high bookshelf in the main bedroom!

Ian September 2024

“What a find a 17th century cottage in a beautiful Cotswold village away from the maddening crowds yet easily accessable to all the places of interest to visit in the area.”

Great for walking.

- Ian, September 2024

We are glad to hear you had a relaxing holiday and were able to explore the area and all it has to offer. Kind Regards, Manor Cottages Property Owner
Gunnar August 2024

“The house met totally our expectations.”

A rural cottage, very quite, wunderful starting point for hiking tours, well equipped kitchen, very good bed upstairs. Maintenance was very good, immediate response in case of a defective lamp. There was only one point we would recommend: the small bed needs urgently a new mattress ;-) By and large: we enjoyed our stay very much

- Gunnar, August 2024
Emma May 2024

“Stayed at Brooklands at end of May.”

A comfortable quirky cottage with all we needed. Beautiful private country garden at the back of the property with total privacy. Very clean property with a very comfortable bed. Only down side was the parking at the end of the lane, but we were told about this. Very peaceful property and relaxing surrounded by beautiful villages and countryside. Local pub which is in walking distance is closed but lots of nice places to eat in driving distance.

- Emma, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your recent stay at Brooklands. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and i hope you managed to enjoy some of the lovely local walks. We would love to welcome you again in the future for another stay. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Alec February 2024

“A lovely, quirky cottage but not for the infirm.”

Staircase is steep and feels like it tilts forward slightly. No problem for us, it was a novelty, but any mobility issues and you'd be stuck. Parking at the bottom of the lane was no biggie, but again, if you have mobility issues, you'd struggle here. We actually loved our stay and would return gladly.

- Alec, February 2024

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Brooklands and hope the issues mentioned didn't impact your stay - we do try to give a clear impression of the stairs in the photos so that guests who do have any mobility issues are awarel. We look forward to welcoming you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Simon January 2024

“Lovely cottage but heating not adequate for a January stay.”

I don't feel you should have to pay for wood every day just to heat the place when you have already payed to stay . There should be another form of heating for the lounge. I know it is an old cottage but it's draughty and freezing. There is only a fixed shower. The parking is terrible, so not only do you get wet the cottage is freezing when you get there. Couldn't wait to come home.

- Simon, January 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay at Brooklands. We do only provide a starter pack of logs and kindling during the winter months. The cottage has heaters in all rooms except the lounge, which benefits from a lovely wood burner. We have now added an additional oil filled radiator for extra heat in the lounge, should it be required during the colder months.The parking situation is stated on our website.

“An amazing stay in this beautiful house!”

We enjoyed every moment there! We didn’t want to leave!

- Adrien, December 2023
Ronald December 2023

“We loved the cottage, it was warm and very inviting and had everything that was needed to enjoy the Christmas holiday.”

The kitchen had a vast array of implements needed to prepare and serve food and a very merry and satisfying meal was consumed on Christmas Day followed by reading stories sitting in front of a blazing fire: what more could you wish for? The parking, as has been mentioned before in other reviews is somewhat annoying but a short walk down the hill to the lay-by solves the problem. The cottage was clean and warm ,the bedroom quaint with a very nice comfortable bed and there was lots of hot water in a spacious bathroom. Situated in a beautiful part of the Countryside a very nice stay, thank you.

- Ronald, December 2023

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Brooklands. I'ts lovely to hear you enjoyed a festive break at the cottage and as you say it's the perfect setting for Christmas. We hope to welcome you back again in the future, kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Keith December 2023

“Lovely property and good location for exploring the Cotswolds.”

Issues with the property; No dishwasher No wardrobes. Existing wardrobe being used for storage by owner No ice box in fridge so any frozen food that we had brought was thrown away.

- Keith, December 2023

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Brooklands. It is in a lovely position to explore the area and we are glad you enjoyed it. We will pass on your feedback to Managed Services and the Owner for review, so thank you. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

Rob November 2023

“Beautiful cottage, everything you would need is provided.”

Most comfortable bed I have slept in for years( I need a new mattress would love to know where this one came from).great character throughout the property. Very good woodburner and a fair supply of logs.only downside was the 2 seater and armchair, although very suitable for the period neither were very comfortable and the tv was too small or it would have been 5 stars across the board. Don’t go to the 10 tons pub, it’s living on old reputation ,food is poor and it’s tatty,had 2 meals as only eatery in village but should have cooked in!.

- Rob, November 2023

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Brooklands. It's lovely to hear how much you have enjoyed the stay and it's a great base to explore the area. We will pass on your comments to Managed Services for review. We hope to welcome you again very soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Lorna September 2023

“An unforgettable stay in the most charming, dreamlike British country cottage.”

From the effortless, easy come and go welcome, the building was steeped in history with original charm throughout, immaculate garden, every comfort was there for us. Thank you so much, wonderful stay, highly recommend

- Lorna, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Brooklands. It's in a lovely location with the Alpaca's just across the road in the field. I'ts wonderful to hear you love it as much as us. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Jane September 2023

“He cottage is pleasant,in a lovely setting and well located but there are many issues that need addressing.”

The furniture is outdated (not a problem in itself but it is when poorly maintained)and not fit for purpose. An armchair broke when my husband sat on it. It was obvious that a previous repair had proved inadequate. Luckily he wasn't hurt,just a little shaken. This was reported immediately but we had to wait 4 days until we received a response. Several other chairs were unstable and we were reluctant to use them. This was pointed out by other reviewers but it is clearly still an issue and has not been acted on. The crockery and cutlery were all mismatched and there was a bizarre collection of extremely sharp knives. Not having a freezer(even a small section in a fridge as is often the case)was a BIG issue,especially as we had temperatures of nearly 30° and ice cubes,ice creams etc would have been most welcome. Also we would normally purchase frozen food to cook at the accommodation, but this was not possible.There was an empty cupboard where it looks as if a freezer was previously located which begs the question 'why has it not been replaced?' There was also too much personal information at the property which was rather uncomfortable as it felt as though you were intruding in someone's home (usually cottages are impersonal ,'dressed' but comfortable). Also it could be a security issue-identity theft etc. The cottage was poorly lit-especially upstairs and the lighting was ,again,mis-matched and inadequate. The headboard on the bed was loose and we had to push the bed against the wall so that it was secure which meant we had to take care not to bang our heads on the rather imposing portrait hung over the bed. Not very romantic! There were several safety issues with the stairs leading to upstairs(as another reviewer stated,not suitable for those with moblilty issues)and also those leading to the garden(quite lethal large concrete stairs again not suitable for those with moblilty issues or children). The parking is not ideal(this is pointed out in the description)as,although there are spaces at the end of the lane,at times it was difficult to find a space. These issues really do need addressing as previous reviewers have pointed some of the above comments and nothing appears to have been actioned to date

- Jane, September 2023

Many thanks for your feedback on Brooklands. We will look into all the issues raised. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Dave May 2023

“Worst place we have ever had a holiday.”

Too may faults to list them all but here are a few. Damaged front path and iffy stairs make it totally unsuitable for anyone with mobility problems. Bedroom has no wardrobe or drawers and no usable surfaces and lighting is very poor. Bathroom needs repairs to broken towel rail, cracked tiles, clogged showerhead, and damage woodwork. Living area poorly lit, 5 amp plug for a lampand a c piple of picture lights, small TV on a shelf obscured by books, rickety chairs and small table, No logs for log burner, old smelly books, Kitchen is not clean, crockery and cutlery looks like a job lot from a charity shop, one electric appliance with a sticker stating electrically failed, no freezer or freezer compartment, table has a nail sticking up on the top, bench seat does not feel safe. Old jumble everywhere. Parking is at the foot of a hill and totally inadequate, The road is narrow, notes left on car windscreen complaining about where car is parked, Garden is up some steep stairs, lots of old rubbish at the top where the bench is. GOOD POINTS: lovely area, comfortable settee, excellent bed and quilt.

- Dave, May 2023

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry you did not enjoy your stay at Brooklands. It is an old property with many quirks. We will look at the issues raised. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Katharine May 2023

“Very peaceful area and property with beautiful local walks.”

Well-equipped kitchen, a cottage with much character. The seating area/patio at the top of the garden needs attention and it would be good to have some single outdoor chairs, maybe collapsible ones. Also a table for outdoor eating. The hot water tank was noisy so it was switched off after use. A very enjoyable stay.

- Katharine, May 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and we appreciate your comments which we will look in to. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner
Tanya April 2023

“My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay, we wished we had stayed longer!”

The cottage and surrounding areas were so peaceful and tranquil, we couldn't fault it, we ate in for the first evening and ate out at the local pub seven tuns which was superb! Enjoyed exploring Bourton on the water and Moreton in the Marsh during the day. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

- Tanya, April 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay in Brooklands and exploring the Cotswolds. Thank you for your recommendations of the local pub and the local towns to visit. We hope to welcome you back again. Best wishes Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Katie April 2023

“Lovely lady dealt with my booking.”

However, I unexpectedly only used the cottage for 1 night after booking for 3. I emailed 2 contact email addresses for Sykes to inform them of this. This could have generated further income for the owners as it was available. No response from either. The cottage on the other hand was perfect. Shame about the parking issue but otherwise perfect.

- Katie, April 2023
Samantha April 2023

“We had a really lovely stay at the cottage.”

Such a beautiful old building. It had everything we needed, lovely log burning fire and a well equipped kitchen. The location was exceptional, looking out over a very pretty vale, no noise whatsoever. The village is quiet and all we could hear was bird song. lots of fab walks, one starting just alongside the cottage leads to a nearby Roman villa. The garden is also lovely and well kept. Bed much have been changed since previous reviews as it was very comfortable. Would recommend this cottage most highly.

- Samantha, April 2023

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are so glad that you loved Brooklands and its quiet location. Thank you for the recommendation of the local walks. We hope to welcome you back again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Donna February 2023

“Couldn’t have picked a better location for our weekend break.”

Beautiful cottage in a picturesque village. Extremely comfortable bed with very comfortable pillows and lovely sheets. Ideally located to visit neighbouring historic market towns including Bourton on the water which was stunning.

- Donna, February 2023

Thank you for this lovely review. We're so glad you enjoyed your weekend break and loved the location too. We hope to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Adam December 2022

“Excellent character property and greatly enjoyed our stay.”

Nothing to fault and excellent service from the host. Would stay again.

Alison November 2022

“Spotlessly clean, comfortable & warm.”

Well stocked kitchen except unable to find a chopping board (a small detail). Windfall apples were a great treat - cooked up & served with cream ! Have never stayed anywhere this old before. If in the UK again will definitely contact you first ! Unfortunately left a few items in the bathroom, but have emailed separately about that.

- Alison, November 2022

We are so glad that you enjoyed Brooklands and its character. There is a glass chopping board provided in the property.It is a bonus that you were able to make use of the apples, there was a bumper crop this year! We hope to welcome you back again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Marc September 2022

“Outstanding vacation!”

I spent a week in Brooklands Cottage and enjoyed every minute. The property was exactly as described and met all my needs with ease. I appreciated the nice welcome gift (milk and cookies) and the very comfortable bed. It was a welcome bonus to have a washer/dryer. The cottage was immaculately well kept and very nicely decorated. Parking, as described, is difficult. There is no parking on Berringers Row so you must park on Queens Street. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and look forward to a repeat visit.

- Marc, September 2022
Marcel July 2022

“No wifi….”

Outdated kitchen (incl no freezing compartment) Uneven, steep staircase (dangerous with socks) Small bed, hard matrass (too hard) Smelly (all those old books and magazines). Rubbish in the garden and the garden house. Beautiful village and surroundings. Nice garden. Very kind management and maintenance guy.

- Marcel, July 2022

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for Brooklands.This is an old cottage which retains many of the original features including the staircase. We are sorry you did not like the books that are present in the house, the majority of guests find them to be a lovely feature. Manor Cottages Property Owner
Luc July 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Brooklands.”

The environment is authentic, quiet and beautiful. The garden is very pleasant. The presence of many books in the house is certainly an added value. Nevertheless, there are some points that can be improved. The garden furniture is in a bad condition and that is a shame because that way you can not fully enjoy the beautiful garden. A freezer compartment in the fridge would be very useful. It should be explained more clearly how the waste should be sorted. This is certainly important for foreign visitors like us. Yet we would recommend this cozy house to everyone!

- Luc, July 2022

Thank you for your constructive comments and we are sorry to hear that you could not enjoy the garden to its full. We will ensure that our maintenance team look into this for future guests. With best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

Jackie December 2021

“The property was fantastically quaint and exactly what we wanted.”

It would have been helpful to know in advance that they would only provide a few logs for the fire and we'd need to purchase more. Arriving on a Sat evening in a remote village meant everything was closed until Monday so we had to travel quite a few miles in the fog to get logs, which, in the middle of winter was essential. (If we'd have knows, we would've brought some en route). The bed was also very small (I'm not sure really that it was a double) and the mattress quite uncomfortable. It could do with a new one. We also had absolutely no mobile signal (two phones on two networks) but luckily the WIFI worked perfectly for the stay. But it was a downfall when we booked a table at a restaurant and travelled in the fog for 10 miles to be told they had no gas but had tried to call us to tell us there was no food service! Otherwise, the property was beautiful and the town was lovely. Outside of the above issues, it was exactly what we were looking for. The mince pies and milk were a welcomed touch on arrival.

- Jackie, December 2021

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Brooklands. We do only provide starter packs in all our cottages with regards to logs, but you can get them at pretty much any petrol station in the cotswolds. I will pass on your comments with regards to the bed to the owner for review. Again mobile signal is generally hit and miss in remote locations, but the wifi is good. Going forward if this is important, please ask us when booking your cottage and we can advise. It's a lovely little cottage in a very quiet setting, perfect for a getaways. Property Owner
Martin December 2021

“We enjoyed a lovely stay and found the property to be full of character and had all we needed for our visit.”

We especially enjoyed listening to the sound of owls at night and the peacefulness of the location. Thank you.

Christine November 2021

“It is a lovely cottage in a wonderful location.”

We didn’t find the bed comfortable and mattress cover needs replacing, a new king size bed would make all the difference.

- Christine, November 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the bed was not suited to your preferences but are glad that you were still able to have an enjoyable time in this beautiful location. Property Owner

Alison September 2021

“Brookland and Chedworth are real gems.”

A beautiful cottage and a super location. We had 2 super meals at the 7 Tuns pub which is a very short walk away and the Chedworth Roman Villa is worth walking to. Thank you.

Patricia August 2021

“We were not impressed with no hand rails upstairs and bathroom chairs etc not comfortable.”

Garden okay but still had to climb up stairs to get to it.if you young. It probably be okay not for older people.sorry.

- Patricia, August 2021

Many thanks for feeding back on your stay at Brooklands. There is no handrail up the stairs as there is a banister instead. The bathroom chairs are intended for the purpose of putting clothes/towels on whilst bathing or showering as well as a place to perch whilst changing. They are not intended for sitting on for long periods of time. We hope these things did not impact your stay greatly and that you still had an enjoyable holiday at Brooklands. Property Owner

Andrea June 2021

“Fabulous cottage in beautiful location.”

Really comfy beds and all you needed for a self catering stay in well equipped kitchen. Though we did use local pub Seven Tuns twice and food was fabulous. Just a more comfy sofa would make even better. We loved it had some great walks and lovely to have garden to sit out in as we luckily had great weather. Will definitely return. Ideal location

Lyn June 2021

“I expected to be able to use the second bedroom and bed as my husband and I are elderly and have poor sleep patterns.”

Really we found the cottage dark and gloomy and having to use the steep creaking stairs to use the toilet quite chore. It's in a fabulous area but it's basic. Thankfully there is, a friendly neighbour who allowed us to use his parking space or that too would have been difficult given the position of the cottage.

- Lyn, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your recent stay at Brooklands. You could of course have used the 2nd bedroom during your stay, you just needed to make us aware and the room would have been made up for your use. The cottage is a period cottage and it will be dark in places with beams and stairs that creak slightly due to the age of the cottage. I'm sorry if it wasn't up to your expectations and hope we can welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

Dalene April 2021

“The cottage was beautiful and very comfortable.”

The biscuits and milk left as a treat was a lovely welcome upon arrival. The wood burner was a huge plus as the evenings were pretty cold. The back garden was a real treat. The views from the cottage were wonderful. We enjoyed many walks around the area. The local pub was great and within easy walking distance. The only suggestion that I would have is a small box freezer unit as the fridge does not have any freezer facility, especially as there is no village shop.

- Dalene, April 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments on Brooklands and we will pass your suggestion onto the owner. Manor Cottages Property Owner
Clare October 2020

“Loved the cottage - it's really special - loads of character, spacious and yet cozy.”

The wood burning fire was great. We plan to return! If we wanted to be picky we'd say that a freezer (even a small box one) would have been useful and also a dishwasher.

“I was very unhappy about the way the cost of my booking was dealt with as I feel I was overcharged by £400 due to the need to rebook due covid being charged the same price as my original booking although the revoked dates were £400 cheaper.”

I was not offered the option of a refund and then rebooking. I feel cheated by your firm and will not be using you again.

Home from home. Great location.Quiet and peaceful area.Excellant pub within a few minutes walk.Large private rear garden but unable to use to full advantage as no table and chairs only 2 small benches.Shame as lovely space and would have liked to sit out for drinks/food.Good wi-fi connection.

Diane June 2019

“This cottage is in a lovely location in a quiet village with an excellent pub and a good farm shop within walking distance.”

The cottage has lovely big rooms full of character. However there is no parking at the cottage and the nearest parking could sometimes be full. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed. However there is only one bedside lamp, and as we both like to read in bed, a lamp on each side would have been appreciated.

- Diane, June 2019
Amy February 2019

“The cottage was absolutely stunning and perfect for two people.”

The wooden beams and the gorgeous log burner added to the charm of the building. The location was perfect for getting out and about and was close to plenty of walks. There was a great local pub too! If anything, the cottage just needed a bigger, cosy sofa to come back to at the end of a long day exploring. A mini freezer for ice would have also been great! But we loved the cottage overall and would definitely consider returning.

“Very quaint and pretty cottage, beautiful setting.”

Extremely quiet. We had some problems with heating that I assume the owner and manager are sorting out. Local cat made itself at home. You cannot park on site but it is easy to drop off and pick up bags and park nearby. It's in a tiny lane.

Mrs Voth

“This cottage was every bit as charming as it looks in the pictures!”

My husband, daughter and I could have spent an entire summer here. I really don't know where to start on relaying how wonderful Brooklands is. The village of Chedworth is picturesque and you can walk the entire town on foot paths that meander throughout the town. There are fresh wild berries and apples everywhere you walk and the neighbors are very friendly. The cottage itself is clean, homey and cozy. I highly recommend Brooklands cottage and I hope to make it back there one day!\

The open plan downstairs area feels very spacious but cosy too when its cold. For an old house the bathroom is good and spare room spacious. Kitchen also very good. Great place to explore the Cotswolds.â€ \ Annie, July 2016

There were so many things to do in the area that we couldn't chooseâ€¦ the cottage was lovely and suited our needs ideally - we cycle a lot and were able to make good use of the rural location

“We wanted a small, inexpensive cottage with a log fire within short driving distance of friends - and that is what we got!”

“The property is lovely and well kept, equipped with all one needs for a short stay.”

The heating was on all day, which made our stay very warm and comfortable. The stove was already prepared with logs and ready to be fired. We found chocolates and milk for us in the kitchen: very much appreciated. The back garden is lovely and we could enjoy some time outside. There is an awesome pub just 5 minutes away and many walking paths through the beautiful landscape.

The property

With wonky beams, slopey floors and majestic views across the quintessential English scene, 'Brooklands is just what you want from a typical Cotswolds cottage.

Tucked within the Ballinger's Row, an historic collection of 17th Century cottages, Brooklands is the charming and perfect 'get away from it all' bolt hole within a truly romantic location.

Not only that Inside the character speaks for itself, spacious rooms presented with antique touches, altogether give this beautiful home a truly cosy feel.

Watch the telly or read a book in front of the fire, or simply do nothing but enjoy the exceptional setting and commanding views over the completely unspoilt Chedworth Valley.

And there is a delightful country pub at the end of your lane too, The Seven Tuns which is currently closed, but hopefully re-opening soon.

Although in the Row, the impression is of complete seclusion and tranquility, having an enclosed mature garden and situated on a narrow lane with scarcely any traffic at all: but cars can deliver (and turn around at the end of the road) and are parked at the end of the lane.

This is an eclectic, manor-style bolt hole just perfect for hiding away from the busy world! Please note there is a Good House Keeping Bond of £50 for this property, this will be shadowed at the time of booking.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £50.
