Washpool Reviews

Amanda
Fab cottage in great location for seeing the Cotswolds. Really well furnished and equipped. Very comfortable and great owners in the background if needed. Thanks so much!
The cottage was very lovely and the owners were on hand to help with anything. Would definitely recommend!
Lovely idyllic cottage, very well stocked and great welcome gifts. Very peaceful and lovely local villages with superb produce. Hope to return soon.
Had a lovely relaxing stay at the Washpool. We enjoyed all the facilities in the cottage, especially the welcome pack and the log burner. The cottage is very comfortable, well maintained and peaceful. Its only 5 minutes away by car to Burford. I would recommend Burford curry restaurant, we had a takeaway and the food was delicious. A couple of times during our stay the internet went down but, the owners were very helpful and quickly resolved this.
Jackie
Well presented, very comfortable throughout, easy parking. Well equipped kitchen. The owners are exceedingly helpful.
Katrina
Fabulous cottage, very well equipped. Perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds. Met by Mike who even chauffeured us to and from The Hare on our first evening. Thanks again Mike. Very tasty homemade mince pies on the welcome tray were appreciated. We made some great Christmas memories, including firing up the hot tub on Christmas Day!
Perfect stay. House well equipped warm and very comfortable. We stayed for three weeks awaiting a house purchase and there was everything we needed. A home from home. We especially appreciated the weekly linen change, refills of toilet rolls etc and the Nespresso machine and pods. The owners were lovely and on hand should we have needed them. Would recommend.
Amanda
An extremely comfortable cottage, very wellequipped with everything provided to ensure a wonderful holiday. Top quality comfortable beds and bedding, lots of cosy throws throughout and the whole place spotlessly clean. Generous parking and a very nice private seating area outside if it had stopped raining! A warm welcome from the owners. The cottage was convenient for visiting the many Cotswold towns and NT properties in the area. Highly recommend.
We have to say that Washpool is one of the nicest holiday cottages we have ever had the pleasure of booking. Friendly, helpful owners, great location, peace and quiet, wonderful facilities and an extremely wellequipped cottage, lovely hot tub and comfortable beds there really wasn't anything we could fault! Washpool is convenient for most of the main attractions in the Cotswolds, just a few minutes' drive from Burford and less than 20 to Stow on the Wold and beautiful Bourton. The Hare in Milton does the most delicious food and is walkable, albeit on country roads and hills. One thing to note for dog owners, you aren't allowed to let your dog use the garden. Thank you for a fabulous stay. We can't wait to come back.
Rachel
A fabulous cottage. Everything you need, with some added extras. Anne & Mike were so welcoming, they gave us a little tour of the farm and the children even got to feed the horses and pigs. They made some fabulous recommendations . We arrived to freshly made scones clotted cream & Jam and a few other little extras. The hot tub was a bonus. Gowns and towels are provided too. It took a little bit of warming but once ready, we all enjoyed some lovely evenings chilling. The cottage is a perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds. Just 10 mins from Burford and Chipping Norton, we also visited Stow on the Wold, Daylesfords, Broadway Tower, the Wildlife Park, Diddly Squat, Bourton on the Water, Blenheim Palace. We even went to the local park which had a very well equipped playground for all ages. We had some lovely days out and all easy to get to. We enjoyed a lovely curry at the Spice Lounge in Burford and a fantastic meal at the Hare at Milton just up the road. We would highly recommend this cottage and wouldnt hesitate to stay here again. Thanks Anne & Mike for being so welcoming. Rachel, Chris, Harriet & Henry x
Washpool Cottage was everything we hoped for and more. We spent a relaxing and comfortable two weeks in the cottage. The moment we walked into the beamed kitchen and found a welcome pack including jam, cream and home made scones we knew it was going to be a good holiday. The owners were helpful and friendly showing us how to light the wood burning hot tub and making sure we had everything we needed. The beds were soft and comfy and everything was beautifully furnished. We are already planning a return visit.
Graham
The cottage was very comfortable and clean and well positioned for travel around the Cotswolds. Rooms were all of a good size and well equipped with TV's etc and reliable WiFi. We received a welcome package of dog treats, clotted cream, scones, jam and apple juice which was really nice. We have a whippet and so having a fully enclosed garden was a must for us. The only downside was when we arrived the brochure said dogs were not allowed to pee in the enclosed flagged area. The only other option was to walk the dog along the road which was both narrow and fairly busy. It would have been really useful is either the area in front of the cottage or somewhere else on the farm could have been designated as an area for the dog we do pick up after him. The owner did forget to put milk in the fridge and did offer to get us some, but we had brought our own.
Christine
Owners very friendly and helpful. Welcome pack scones jam and cream plus doggie snack a lovely surprise. Whole place was very well equipped. Good to have downstairs WC. Clear instructions for cooktop.would be useful. Advice also that main bedroom shower was in the high sided bath. An excellent time away for four people.
Our party of four have just spent a week at Washpool cottage and couldnt fault it. Beautiful location near to so many places to visit. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay. We would love to return, would highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you for one of the best stays we have ever had. Home from home.
A great week celebrating our wedding anniversary back where we used to live. The cottage was a wonderful space to share with friends socially and relax in comfort. The kitchen and large breakfast bar were perfect for entertaining. The peaceful location with no light pollution helped our sleeping. We didnt need to light the wood burner indoors but so enjoyed the wood fired hot tub and the scones were the best we have ever tasted! Thank you to all the Hartley family.
The cottage is very pleasant and brilliantly situated for the lovely walks in the Cotswolds. There is everything you need for a very comfortable stay. I couldn't fault it.
Harriet
We had the most amazing stay at Washpool. Clean and extremely cosy and comfortable with lots of thought put into small details you may need during your stay like foil and tupperware for packing picnics. We enjoyed the hot tub and it was a treat to start each day with the nespresso coffee machine. The cottage is in an excellent location, just a short drive to many attractions and towns for sightseeing.
A lovely place to stay. Everything you need for a very comfortable and relaxing holiday. Thank you.
Lysandra
Thank you very much for a lovely stay. The cottage was homely, comfortable and peaceful. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. The vase of spring flowers, home made scones and the hot tub made it extra special. Thank you.
Amazing!
One of the best places we stayed Everything in the cottage is perfect and has everything you need The owners are very nice too and make you feel at home :)
Rachel
A wonderfully relaxing week in an exceptionally well equipped and comfortable property. Ideally located for exploring lovely Cotswolds villages. We would love to return.
Denise
Lovely cottage. Excellent hosts. Enjoyed the farm tour. Possibly do with better lighting in the lounge for reading etc.
It was a lovely house . Quality equipped . Nice relaxing week. Hot tub was relaxing . Central to a lot of nice places .
Amanda
The cottage itself is outstanding, beautifully furnished and decorated and has everything one could want. We loved it. The written information left at the property seemed rather out of date with nowhere to write any recommendations or tips for future guests. Although the cottage is listed as dog friendly it should be made clear that there are no walks straight from the cottage, despite that being stated on some of the website listings for this property. Dogs are permitted in the farmyard not the cottage patio. The lane outside the cottage is very very busy and there is no verge or pavement which made walking our dog first thing in the morning or last thing at night hazardous. Other than that we had a wonderful stay and would recommend to nondog owners.
Kristina
We had a lovely week at Washpool. The cottage was spacious and very comfortable, the hot tub an added bonus. The owner made us feel very welcome. We stay in this area often as we have family here and will be sure to rebook Washpool in the near future. Many thanks Kristina and Paul from North Devon
Rachell
Lovely clean, tidy and welcoming property and we even had a cream tea waiting for us. Would highly recommend as it is very central for Burford and all surrounding areas. Will definitely be visiting again!
Washpool was a delightful cottage, well equipt and very well presented. We were very grateful for the personal welcome and all of the 'gift items' scones, clotted cream, jam, doggie treats, flowers etc which were well chosen and spot on so often the things left are not to our taste. We valued the Eco influence and the locally sourced sculpture over the fireplace. It was a very stylish and comfortable place. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
Deborah
Wonderful cottage very well equipped in brilliant location. Property owners were lovely and very welcoming. We had a fantastic week despite the awful weather.
Graham
The cottage was fabulous, plenty of space for 4 adults and a Welsh Terrier. Made good use of the courtyard garden to eat out and chill. Location was very central to visit beautiful Cotswold towns. Owner gave great tip for lovely morning walk for the dog. All facilities were of a good quality with comfortable beds and sofas. Would certainly recommend.
Stuart
Can't recommend this property highly enough. It is an excellent conversion of the former stables. Timber from these stables has been carefully blended into the cottage. The furnishings and dcor in the lounge were tasteful and of a high standard. Double doors open onto a patio with garden tablechairs and log fired hot tub, which takes 2 hours to heat up. Sun loungers are available in the shed. The kitchen is very modern, well equipped and offers all the resources you require. Upstairs there are 2 large double ensuite bedrooms with king size beds. The property is in a quiet location, sitting between a country lane and a large courtyard.
To Manor Cottages We stayed at the Washpool rental for two weeks in the first half of May 2023. While the property was unremarkable on the outside, the stable conversion was superb. It was luxurious and comfortable, and very tastefully furnished and decorated. We were impressed with how completely it was outfitted absolutely everything we needed for cooking and living was there, and more. The collection of guidebooks and maps was helpful, too. The location in rural Upper Milton was ideal for a 2week stay in the Cotswolds. We used it as a base to explore the rectangle bounded by Cheltenham, Warwick, Oxford, and Bath. Our hosts, the Hartley brothers and their wives, were delightful and gracious. They provided us not only with useful local information and good conversation, but also with a tour of the pigfarm part of their extensive operation. That was fun, and quite instructive. We recommend this rental without reservation to anyone wishing to enjoy the pleasures of the Cotswolds. Henry & Judy Bird, Antony & Lynne Simpson
Melissa
Thank you for a delightful stay for our first holiday with our little 9 month old baby boy. It was like being at a home from home, everything was catered for and nothing was too much trouble. Property location is ideal and you made our first holiday to the Cotswolds, very memorable. Melissa, Aidan & Ayrton
Richard
Excellent property, very welcoming
Catherine
This rates as one of the best selfcatering holiday properties that we have rented! It has been fitted out to a very high standard. We were welcomed with freshly baked scones, clotted cream and jam and that set the tone for the week. The owners were very friendly and concerned to ensure that everything met our expectations. There was so much to do in the local area and some great pubs for meals. This will definitely be our property of choice if we revisit the Cotswolds.
Siobhan
Such a beautiful cottage in a great location. We came with our baby and our dog and the cottage was spotless had all the facilities we needed comfortable beds, cot, dark rooms, WiFi, washer, parking etc. If we were ever in the Cotswolds again we will definitely be staying here again.
Stephanie
The cottage was impeccable! Spacious, clean and immaculately presented. It is without doubt, the best accommodation we have stayed in. The owners were extremely welcoming and we felt that if there had been any issues, they would have resolved them straightaway. We will definitely be returning.
Brooklyn
This was the best staycation we have ever been on. The home was absolutely beautiful I could have lived there. I thought that the cottage was going to be smaller than it was but it was super spacious with everything you could possibly need. The hosts were so lovely and really helpful and the area was perfect too. We even got snow which was just perfect before Christmas. We will definitely be visiting again! Thankyou!
We had a lovely weeks stay at Washpool cottage. The cottage itself has everything you will need in your stay, with home comforts as well. Plenty of utensils for those that enjoy cooking. Location is great for getting out and exploring the Cotswolds by car, we were able to easily access all the typical tourist hotspots. We walked down to the Hare pub a couple of times which was a treat, gorgeous Sunday lunch. It is a country road with no path the majority of the way. We used the hot tub a couple of times.
