“We had a lovely 4 night stay in the cottage.”

We fell in love with it for the second we stepped into the property - clean, nice cosy and spacious. Tge beds in both rooms are comfortable and we had good sleeps. A couple of minors could be improved - a small bin in downstairs bath room would be convenient. The table lamp in twin room doesn't have a switch on the lead but use socket switch, which is hidden behind bedside table. Hence it is very inconvenient for the night. These minors don't impact our stay at all and we will have no problem ...

“We enjoyed our stay in this characterful cottage - it was comfortable and pleasantly quiet though we were the only people staying on the site.”

We would however recommend a bigger fridge freezer and some improved kitchen equipment. Also the TV reception was poor and the shower drainage very slow. We wish the local community all the best in getting the local pub back open as it looks lovely

“Tinkley Cottage is very much as described and was absolutely right in terms of size and accommodation for me and my two adult daughters.”

It has a very homely feel, comfortable but unpretentious. We found a nice Christmas table decoration, bottle of wine and some snacks to welcome us, which was unexpected and nice. We had a small disaster with one single bed ( a previous rather large client?!) but Jon and his brother came round very quickly ( Christmas Eve evening!) to repair it. Jon himself is friendly and approachable and nearby, which is very helpful.I lit the wood burner for two evenings although there was no fire glove initially and only short matches! However, when asked, Jon produced a fire glove and some newspaper, which made lighting the fire a lot easier. I think tapers are also a good idea, Jon, as well as firewood of a size in between kindling and big logs. The pull outs on the sofas have seen better days and I don't think would survive the rigours of children - you might advise clients against using them, Jon. One other 'could do with' is a vegetable steamer in the kitchen. As veggies, my girls don't boil veg and neither do I. I really liked Tinkley; would happily return, if allowed, and recommend it to others.

- Wendy, December 2023

Thank you Wendy for your feedback, it is always so useful to get constructive observations. Glad you and your family had a comfortable Christmas break, and enjoyed the challenges the wood burner and breakages gave you all! Property Owner

Shelagh May 2023

“Listings on website need updating: no shower over bath.”

No dvd player and no starter pack of logs. The fridge-freezer is very small and VERY OLD. The base is cracked in several places and the shelf on the door is broken and unusable. It needs replacing. We would have appreciated some larger glasses,there are only wine glasses and small glasses. Despite all this we had a great week in a lovely area.

- Shelagh, May 2023

Thank you Shelagh for your feedback, it is nice to know you enjoyed this lovely corner of the Cotswolds, our shortcomings are being sorted, thank you. Property Owner

“We enjoyed a fabulous weeks holiday at Tinkley Cottage.”

The accomodation was clean & comfortable and reasonably well equipped. The frying pan supplied was far too small when cooking for four people and conversely the kitchen had no small saucepans. The reclining facility on the three seater sofa is broken and requires attention. However, none of these issues detracted from our enjoyment & we would definitely stay again.

- Fiona, March 2023

Thank you Fiona for your review all feedback is appreciated, glad you enjoyed your week in this corner of the Cotswolds. Property Owner
Elizabeth December 2022

“We had the most wonderful couple of nights at Tinkley Cottage.”

It is the most gorgeous house, so pretty and cleverly converted. Lovely windows all along the front, very good kitchen and sitting room, everything you could need. The beds are really comfortable and lovely linen and comfy pillows. I would definitely choose to come back there, if we get the chance. Thank you.

- Elizabeth, December 2022

Thank you for your fabulous review Elizabeth, glad you found this lovely corner of the Cotswolds so comfortable and do come back soon. Property Owner
Allison November 2022

“A lovely barn conversion - very cosy and comfortable and everything on hand.”

A lovely village with a great pub very close by. We took 2 small dogs and there were plenty of nice walks. With dogs, obviously the chickens were a problem. We did think that with Avian Flu they wouldn't be running freely but they were always outside our barn. On arrival the cluster flies did concern us but after while we got used to them. They come out of the curtains - maybe on cleaning fly spray is used to try to eradicate the issue. All in all we were 4 adults and 2 dogs and had a really lovely weekend. We would return definately.

- Allison, November 2022

Thank you Alison for your helpful comments in your review, the chickens were a complete oversight! but glad you enjoyed your weekend. Property Owner

“Ticked all the boxes for us, clean comfortable and very peaceful.”

Short distance to the pub. Plenty of walks from the cottages. Lovely area and well worth a visit.
