“As usual, everythingj was as expected at Burford Cottage.”

Jennifer “The cottage was a brilliant base for our holiday in Stratford.”
Had facilities for younger children, but a stair gate could be a great addition. Bathroom was perfect. Would of loved some bath sheets to be provided as the bath towels were on the small size. But overall it had everything you can think of.
- Jennifer, November 2024 -
Janet “We had a lovely week staying in Burford Cottage, it was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our holiday.”
So hopefully we will be back again and we will definitely book another Cottage through Manor Cottages for next year.
- Janet, September 2024 -
Julie “The cottage was home from home everything you needed was there the only let down ...”
The cottage was home from home everything you needed was there the only let down was the Dust, found dust on the top of plug sockets on the wooden doors and dust on all of the stair way for anyone who suffers from asthma I would not recommend in saying this I would stay again as the cottage was lovely
- Julie, August 2024 -
Charles “A very clean cottage that is well equipped.”
Brighter lighting in the lounge area would help since it is a bit dull to read in the evening.
- Charles, June 2024 -
Tina “We were pleasantly surprised when we opened the door to Burford Cottage because it was instantly obvious that it was clean and tidy (we've stayed in some dreadful places at times).”
There is everything that you could need for a week or two. I didn't cook there (I was on holiday too!) but if you did want to eat at the cottage there were plenty of pans and utensils. There is just one criticism - the settee is very uncomfortable for any length of time. I preferred to go to bed and either read or watch TV. I must say, the amount of hangers supplied is wonderful! I was able to hang up all the t-shirts, jumpers and trousers and there were still plenty left. It might seem a simple thing but oh so necessary. We had a wonderful week and the lovely cottage was the icing on the cake. Talking of which, there was a lovely chocolate cake and a bottle of milk waiting for us when we arrived. So thoughtful. Thank you for everything.
- Tina, June 2024 -
Michael “Very well equipped throughout and clean.”
The cake, milk, tea and coffee were a particularly nice start to our break. The setting is nice and the outside tables and chairs are a nice touch. It was unusually cold outside for summer and to provide heating was very generous in June. If you want helpful suggestions the chores at the end of our stay might be removed and given to the cleaners in view of the deadline for leaving and our packing. Overall a very nice place and with more facilities than we have experienced elsewhere.

David “This was our 4th visit to Burford Cottage and it won't be our last.”
Located in a quiet part of Warwickshire, most parts of the Cotswolds are within an hours drive. The cottage is well presented and has all that you would need for a quiet holiday. Lower Clopton Farm Shop and Cafe is worth a visit.
- David, April 2024 -
Les “Our second stay at Burford Cottage, really enjoyable in a very cosy and comfortable cottage.”
lovely surroundings and plenty to see and do in the area. Thank you very much

Michael “Burford cottage has all the makings of an ideal holiday destination however, we found that although on first arriving everything looked nice and clean it soon became apparent that there was a sweaty odour coming from all the bedding and the carpets to such an extent we had to buy Fabreze and carpet freshener to try and mask it.”
Paint was peeling off the wall behind the TV due to rising Damp and the support in the dining chairs was virtually non existent to the point we had to sit on cushions, also there was a bad smell from the kitchen sink drain. The seal at the bottom of the shower screen was black with mould as was the sink overflow outlet. The hand towel ring by the sink was hanging by a thread and also part of the toilet flush button was missing. There were no pillow protectors on any of the pillows some of which were stained and smelly. We have used your company for a number of years and this is the first time we have been so dissatisfied with one of your properties that we have felt the need to make this complaint, in fact we were so disappointed we decided to return home a day early.
- Michael, September 2023Hi I’m sorry you encountered problems at our cottage and didn’t enjoy your stay . Generally over the past 8 years we’ve had nothing but positive feedback. In response to your comments I have carried out the following , 1. Bought and fitted all new pillows and pillow case protectors as well as new mattress protectors . 2. Replaced the flush button , shower screen seal ,refitted the loose towel ring and cleaned /bleached the sink overflow & kitchen sink . 3. With regards to the possible damp odour I can only think it is either where possibly the bedding may have not been dried straight away after washing but I’m not sure so will check with the cleaning company . . Once I changed everything and the cleaners changed the bedding the smell seemed to disappear. I have though discovered a small damp patch on the main bedroom wall and after investigation it appears we have a wasps next in the eaves which I think is creating it . I’m wondering wether this is creating any odour as we’ve never had a problem before .(though I couldn’t smell anything ) I’m awaiting a call back from a pest control company to get it dealt with and booked a period of time out on the calendar to remove the nest once they are dead . The wasps are not inside the cottage though so there are no issues there. . 4. The small area of peeling paint behind the tv will be dealt with shortly . 5. We stay in the cottage quite often and I have to say don’t feel the dining room chairs are a problem but next time we’re there we will check them out and if necessary get replacements . Like I say we stay here a lot and love our little cottage and if you look back over the years we have had great feedback . Hopefully this is just a blip and we can continue providing a cosy home from home for guests to enjoy . Property Owner

Elisabeth “Everything really lovely and well maintained.”
A real home from home. Only downside for me was nowhere to walk along road by property as I like daily walks but having no pavement meant it was too dangerous. Nothing you can do about this,although a right of way along the field at the back would have been lovely,if you can make any agreement with neighbours?
- Elisabeth, August 2023 -
Janice “Very clean comfortable cottage nicely located for sightseeing would recommend”
- Janice, July 2023 -
Charles “Very clean cottage.”
The lighting in the lounge area could be improved since it was difficult to read.
- Charles, June 2023 -
Peter “We had a very comfortable stay in Burford cottage last week.”
The owners had provided us with everything we needed. It was in a good location for sightseeing in the Cotswolds and Stratford on Avon and we would highly recommend it.
- Peter, April 2023 -
David “Burford Cottage is lovely and cosy, well situated and just right for a visit to the Cotswolds.”
Broadway is a short drive away with Stow on the Wold and Bourton on the Water not too far from there. Everything you need for a relaxing break is provided. We will be back.
- David, March 2023 -
Karen “We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Burford Cottage and are very grateful that the owner so kindly accommodated us at such short notice when our original booking became unavailable.”
We would certainly like to return to this lovely, cosy and comfortable cottage in the future. It is attractively, well appointed and is in an ideal location for exploring Warwickshire and the North Cotswolds. Thank you very much.
- Karen, March 2023 -
Winifred “This is a comfortable cottage, which I have stayed in several times.”
It is exactly as described on the website, and very conveniently placed for exploring the area around the North Cotswolds.
- Winifred, December 2022 -
Kenneth “Burford cottage is well located.”
It was clean & tidy on arrival & comfortable inside. We would happily return to the property without hesitation
- Kenneth, August 2022 -
Carlo “We really enjoyed our stay in your lovely cottage despite the heat helped by the velux windows and the presence of a fan.”
Really important that this last week. The provision of two tables and chairs outside made it possible the out in shade at different times of the day. The only thing I would like to bring to your attention is the hdmi selection for the DVD player. We found we needed to select hdmi 4 for it to work. Once we'd got there everything was fine. Altogether a great holiday and accommodation. Thanks.
- Carlo, August 2022 -
Tony “Nice little terraced cottage which was during time we were there, in a very quiet, now well -established rural development.”
Very comfortable inside. Car parking is not immediately outside, but only 30-40 yards away.
- Tony, July 2022 -
Diane “Had a lovely time, cottage was perfect.”
- Diane, July 2022 -
Lisa “Lovely, well equipped cottage ideally located for visiting Stratford-upon-Avon and the Cotswolds.”
One of the loveliest cottages we have stayed in.
- Lisa, June 2022 -
Farhan “Fantastic little cottage in a great location close to Stratford-upon-Avon, the whole family loved the stay.”
We had a small issue getting into the apartment, which was sorted promptly over the phone (despite Lee being away abroad!). The victoria sponge cake and milk/coffee were great touches and much appreciated.
- Farhan, May 2022 -
Jane “Everything we needed for a comfortable stay, quiet location, excellent for touring the area.”
- Jane, May 2022 -
Winifred “I have stayed at this cottage regularly, and it suits my nephew and I very well.”
It is clean and comfortable, exactly as described on the website. The location is also very convenient to both Stratford and the Cotswolds. The only slight niggle I can find is that the light in the lounge is not very good in the evenings, and would be improved with the addition of a standard lamp.
- Winifred, April 2022 -
John “We have stayed in several properties booked through Sykes.”
They are always excellent and this one is up there with the best of them. The only slight niggle was inadequate lighting.
- John, March 2022 -
Richard “Just a lovely cottage !”
To be able to control the heating you needed is great ! As the weather in early March was still cold , we both are elderly, our last cottage heating was control by the owner ….this is not desirable! Gwen
- Richard, March 2022 -
Kerry “We had an enjoyable stay, despite the bad weather.”
The cottage was comfortable and clean and had everything we could need for our short break. We would definitely recommend and hope to return again in the future.
- Kerry, February 2022 -
Devorah “Everything was perfect.”
Only problem was the very dim lighting on the dining room
- Devorah, January 2022 -
Les “Nothing more to add, very enjoyable holiday in a very nice cottage in a great location”
- Les, October 2021 -
Ghulam “The cottage was very good and well equipped with everything we needed.”
It was situated in a lovely spot surrounded by lots of greenery, we would like to come here again if ever we are in Stratford.
- Ghulam, June 2021 -
David “We had a really nice few days in Burford cottage.”
Everything was as we expected, and as described. You will need your own transport to stay here, but there is a bust stop nearby if not.
- David, April 2021 -
Vanessa “Delightful little cottage set in small complex of barn conversions with everything provided to a good standard and made for a pleasant and comfortable stay.”
Also very well situated for Stratford Warwickshire and the Cotswolds. Would definitely use again. Thank you.
- Vanessa, September 2020 -
Charles “Cottage was in a good location for tourist attractions.”
- Charles, July 2020 -
Michelle “Lovely, cosy cottage on a development of similar terraced properties.”
Quite near a main road, but traffic noise was minimal. Immaculate property - and I'm hard to please. Absolutely everything was provided for our 3 night stay as a family of four with 2 children ( 13 & 11). TVs in every room. DVD player. Games. Books. Wifi. Plenty of towels . Milk and cookies on arrival. Heating turned on before we got there. Excellent location with Stratford only 3 miles, Waitrose even closer, and Warwick castle 11 miles.
- Michelle, February 2020 -
Winifred “This is the second time I've stayed at Burford Cottage.”
It is a convenient venue with excellent facilities, and I shall probably book again for 2020. The only small niggle was that the lighting in the lounge was rather dim, and not good for reading or knitting in the evening. Another lamp would be a good idea. The prosecco and the mince pies were a nice touch and much appreciated. I liked the Christmas decorations but found the Xmas tree a bit unstable.
- Winifred, December 2019 -
Alexandra “The only negative was the noise from the road which was quite intrusive at night and early in the morning.”
- Alexandra, July 2019 -
Peter “It is a lovely cottage with good facilities.”
Would recommend for a short break
- Peter, May 2019 -
Christopher “We have used Sykes many times and had some great holidays, but Burford Cottage was one of the best properties yet.”
We had everything we needed for a week away. (Children aged 1 and 2), right down to plastic crockery for the kids. We couldn’t fault a thing. The place was spotlessly clean and had all the little ‘extras’ which make a huge difference, such as plenty of tea towels, hand soap, cleaning products, dishwasher tablets -and a fully stocked tassimo machine. We contacted the owners via text a couple of times and they responded promptly and were really friendly and helpful. Location-wise it was great. We had a ‘free’ week by visiting 12 National trust properties - with the longest drive we had being 40 minutes and the closest about 5 minutes - and having our usual weekly Ocado shop delivered on the first day. So lots of picnics for lunches. We took an extra high chair (there is one there). We didn’t need to take a travel cot, as there is one there- but we did need to take our own bedding for this. Out of courtesy we took a piece of plastic to protect the carpet during mealtimes - which was lucky as the dining table is on carpet. There isn’t a stair gate but the stairs twist after the first 3 at the top. We took a plug in night light which was handy for the landing area during the night - and advisable if you have little ones, as it’s quite dark once all the main lights are off. The cottage is off the main road on a well-kept development. There were gardeners working there during the week, mowing the grass etc. The parking space for the cottage is at the back, a short walk from the property, but there is space to load and unload closer by. It was so good we’ll probably book again.
- Christopher, April 2019 -
Alastair “The cottage far and exceeded my expectations.”
The place was immaculate and well maintained. The décor was fresh and tasteful. Everything from to furnishings to appliances were like new. The facilities from a smart tv to fast broadband were useful and welcome. The rooms were a good size and the kitchen appliances were in abundance. A lovely quiet rural location, but conveniently close to the centre of town and even closer to a large Waitrose store making it an ideal location with plenty of parking. Communications was good with the owners who provided small, but nice, touches like a pint of milk in the fridge, tea, coffee and biscuits. A home from home. Gaining access (checking in) was more than easy and very convenient. Highly recommended.
- Alastair, March 2019 -
Julie “Beautiful cottage with everything needed for a comfortable stay and very close to Stratford.”
Would definitely recommend and will be back.
- Julie, December 2018 -
Jayne “Beautiful cottage in a peaceful countryside location ideally situated for Stratford upon Avon and the cotswolds.”
Cottage had everything needed for a relaxing few days
- Jayne, October 2018 -
Peter “The comfort of the cottage was the best we have come across.”
Nice central location for all the attractions in the area. The cottage was fully equiped, even down to a coffee maker and a supply of coffee. Brilliant place !
- Peter, October 2018 -
Lindsay “A lovely cottage, great standard of finish.”
Everything was spotless and there was everything you would need supplied for you. Real home comforts.
- Lindsay, July 2018 -
Ronald “This is one of the best holiday cottages that we have rented anywhere in Europe.”
It had everything that we needed, including a quiet location with nice gardens. It has kept the charm of the old farm buildings but with modern equipment. It is convenient for Stratford and the Cotswolds.Own convenient parking place. We shall certainly try to book this place again the next time we are in the area. Ron & Lyn Power, Switzerland.
- Ronald, June 2018 -
Bob “Nice clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage.”
- Bob, March 2018 -
Emma “Very efficient and easy booking.”
The cottage is fantastically equipped, lovely decoration and really welcoming The owner was very helpful with instructions on where to find things We had a great stay, quiet and peaceful enough to feel like you are escaping but close enough to Stratford and other areas to get anywhere to see the sights very quickly and easily We will definitely be staying again!
- Emma, January 2018 -
Susan “A cosy, clean well equipped cottage.”
Our second visit to the cottage with so much to see and enjoy in the area.
- Susan, September 2017 -
Keith “Cottage is exceptional and far exceeded our expectations.”
- Keith, May 2017 -
Lise “The cottage was beautifully presented and absolutely spotless.”
I hadn't realized it was part of a complex of cottages so maybe an additional photo showing this or sentence which describes the overall number of cottages might be useful - but it didn't matter to us as we weren't looking for a secluded spot. The key safe system made checking in and out very smooth and convenient. The free wifi was very helpful
- Lise, September 2016 -
Phillip “Everything was fine,it wasen't made very apparent that there was a small walk from the car parking area to the cottage”
- Phillip, September 2016 -
Yvonne “Lovely quiet location but close to Stratford and other interesting locations.”
Really could not fault this cottage. We have a cottage break every year and this is one of the tops.
- Yvonne, September 2016 -
