Wendle Cottage is cozy and cute and perfect for a stay in Moreton-in-Marsh! Highly recommend! The only thing I would say is there are really steep stairs so I would be careful with anyone who has issues with stairs. But this is a great spot! Highly recommend.

Quaint cottage

Great location for exploring on foot or car. Beds were so comfy and lovely bedding. Super nice kitchen with everything we needed and the welcome pack was very appreciated. The garden area could do with a good weed, some planting and furniture set out ready to use, to be more inviting to sit in. Parking outside was always available during our stay. Overall great cottage to stay in

Clean and cosy cottage

The cottage had all the facilities we needed. Very comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and wood burner. The location was great for getting around the Cotswolds, especially the arboretum nearby, Stow and Chipping Campden. The main road outside is very busy and used by quite a lot of lorries. Unfortunately, due to road works, there was standing traffic outside, including very early in the morning, which was quite disruptive.

Great location that needs updating

The location of the cottage is wonderful. The property manager was great and very responsive. That being said we would not stay at this location again. The cottage itself is much colder, moldier and uncomfortable than the pictures show. It would really benefit from a facelift and cleaning of the mold from the windows. There are other places in town that are cleaner and warmer for the same price.

3 night stay in the Cotswolds

The cottage is in a great location on the high street and we had no problem parking outside throughout our stay. The property has plenty of character but could do with some attention to certain items which are broken, I highlighted these areas in my return and quickly had a response. The communication with stay Cotswold was very efficient.

Wendle cottage stay

A beautifully furnished cottage in the main High Street, handy to the station but we could also see the tents set up on market day, from the front door. Very cosy but not suitable to everyone as the stairs are a challenge. (We did not attempt to take our bags up to the bedrooms). Perfect if you are agile.

Can't wait to go back!

We had a lovely stay, it was relaxing very comfortable. Interior is within keeping of the cottage property, which made it feel lovely and homely. Kitchen well equipped. Only faults were the radiator in the kitchen you could not turn down due to the nozzle dial broken and slight damp smell in the main bathroom. However everything else was perfect, the stairs are steep but we were prepared by that. We can't wait to revisit, it exceeded our expectations :)

Great high spec property

We had a great time and Wendle Cottage was a great place to stay. It is finished to a high specification that isn’t often seen in holiday properties. Comfortable and well equipped. We were there during a hot period in summer but it stayed nice and cool in the main living areas. Great location although if a light sleeper you may need ear plugs as road noise can be loud in main bedroom if windows open. Also be aware of what the owners state re the staircase as it is tight and steep. All in all a great stay that we’d highly recommend!

Convenient

Wendle Cottage is convenient, the property manager goes out of his way to help guests with any problems, the cottage itself is old but has a fairly new kitchen. It would have been nice to have a French press as there is only a pod type coffee maker. Other reviews have addressed the staircase and they are correct. It’s very steep and needs the handrails. It’s very close to the major grocery store and train. Would recommend cottage for it’s convenience to all of the Cotswolds.

Wendle cottage review

Cannot fault the cottage , fantastic location (although the downside is ease of parking , the lay-by at the front of the house is as often in accessible due to cars blocking the space) The weekend we stayed at the cottage there was a very loud fairground set up along the high street , this was problematic as the noise was loud and went on until late . It seemed like a planned event and would have been useful to have been notified of this event by the rental company as this would have lmpacted our decision to stay in this location

Perfect location

This lovely large cottage is in a perfect location, right on the high street but further down from the bars and restaurants so quieter. We were there on a very hot day but the cottage stays incredibly cool so it was nice to come back to. Great kitchen area, clean and although we only used it to make tea, it seemed to have more than you’d need to make meals. Bedrooms and bathrooms are nice, both had comfy beds, soft crisp sheets and perfect fluffy towels. The stairs are more of a climb, nothing like we’d experienced before, but we managed and I’m 60, my daughter 9 months pregnant and we had a three year old and we managed, it became a bit of a laugh in the end. Just be prepared if you don’t like heights. There were some small maintenance issues which we’ve passed on but nothing that affected our stay. All in all a lovely place in a perfect location.

Cotswolds Stay

Wonderful, delightful gem of a property. Even though it is located on the main road in town, you feel like you are off the beaten path once you are inside the unit. Spacious kitchen, beautiful back terrace all the comfort of home. The narrow twist staircases are definitely something to consider if you have mobility issues. I am pretty agile with good balance, and I had to take my time going up and down the stairs, but certainly Not a deterrent from renting again. I only mention so that people realize the stairs can be tricky. Moreton in Marsh is a charming town and a great launching pad to explore other neighboring towns. We took a lovely 7 mile walk that connected us to two other towns and didn’t even have to use the bus.

Sadly it wasn’t the best stay

Lovely cottage but a few area felt a little tired. Both shower heads could do with replacing as water sprays everywhere! There was a fun fair when we stayed, which had thumping base until 10pm. I would recommend informing guests about this before letting them book. If we had known this, we wouldn’t have booked the cottage, we had a 1 year with us and it didn’t make the most relaxing stay. It’s also worth noting that the stairs are very steep and dangerous, not baby friendly at all.

Thank you Nichola for your review of Wendle Cottage. We are delighted to hear that you found the cottage to be lovely. We are sorry that the fun fair disrupted your stay, sadly, this is not something the owner can control and cannot be held responsible for any noise generated outside the boundary of the property. We do advise guests that the cottage has two flights of narrow, steep stairs in the property listing under the finer details section. We hope that overall you enjoyed your time exploring the Cotswolds.

Great place

The cottage is perfectly located for the shops/restaurants and public transport. The interior is lovely, cosy and warm downstairs. Cold upstairs in loft and heating did not work there. Stairs are a hazard. We left our cases downstairs and took what we needed by hand upstairs! Would be great to have a downstairs toilet to avoid doing the stairs in the day time. First floor bedroom window not fitting properly so draughty and noisy from road traffic at night. All said, we really enjoyed our stay and probably would come back to use as a local base.
