Gorgeous property in the heart of the Cotswolds :)

We stayed here a few weeks before christmas and had a lovely stay. The property was clean, it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Location is perfect to explore the Cotswolds.

Cosy House

Very nice house in a very quiet place. The only minus is cleanless, should be improved, specially in the kitchen area. Also thermal insulation of the bedroom over the breakfast area should be checked.

Beautiful Cotswolds Cottage

This cottage was really beautiful and had everything we could have needed. The Village it was in was also incredibly picturesque. We had chosen this house as it said it was walking distance to a pub and that wasn't the case sadly so we had to drive or use taxis to go out for an evening meal. The property is well situated for accessing lots of other lovely cotswold towns and villages.

Lovely cottage!

We stayed in Manor Farm Cottage for just under two weeks and had such a wonderful stay. The property is absolutely beautiful, well located to explore the Cotswolds and have amazing views from the doorstep. The recommendations in the welcome book were also great, especially D'ambrosi in Stow-on-the-Wold.

Perfect Cotswolds Escape!

This was our first time to the Cotswolds and we weren’t sure what area would be best, but this cottage was perfect! More beautiful than the pictures in a very quiet and beautiful tiny village. Was very relaxing for a week away in the countryside. Great location to pop around to other towns, and only 5 min from Tesco.

A wonderful stay in a stylishly designed cottage

The cottage was perfect for our weekend get-together. The interiors are done beautifully with lovely stylish details and had everything we needed for our stay. As it was the beginning of March, we didn't make use of any of the outdoor space but we could see that it was spacious and well looked after. We really enjoyed our stay and are already looking into re-booking for our get together next year.

Lovely quiet cottage

We stayed at Manor Farm cottage at the end of June/beginning of July 2026. Donnington was a lovely quiet hamlet to return to after a busy day of sightseeing. There are no shops or pub in this village, however Stow-on-the-Wold is only a few minutes drive away and provides all the amenities you need. Overall the cottage was fantastic in our opinion. The bedrooms & baths are very luxurious and modern as was all the furniture and decor. The only trouble we had was the water in the ensuite shower drained very slowly, so we used water at half the pressure we would normally use to eliminate a small flood. The garden is lovely with mature flowering bushes and foliage and lots of seating areas to sit and relax. There is also a detached shed with a washer/dryer which was very handy. Overall, we give this cottage a 4+ star rating in our opinion. If there was a better parking spot (car is partially on the road) and a coffee maker, we'd give it a 5*. We would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a quiet country location. Norm & Sandy M, Ontario Canada

A pleasant stay

Had a pleasant stay at the Manor farm cottage. Everything was superb , clean and neat. The cons, there was no microwave, no dryer machine ( couldn't let my clothes dry outside while the weather was rainy all during my stay). Overall, I've enjoyed my stay at the cottage.

An absolutely wonderful stay!

We stayed for a month in Manor Farm cottage and could not have been happier. The location was perfect for us, a tiny hamlet, that was so peaceful but only a few minutes drive to the nearest town. The cottage was extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. Unfortunately it was too cold for us to enjoy the outdoor space but it was lovely and would be wonderful to enjoy in good weather. Staycotswolds were responsive hosts and I have only good things to say about them. We had an absolutely wonderful stay and would definitely love to return.

Great stay in the Cotswolds!

Lovely stay at Manor Farm Cottage, everything was perfect and we felt right at home straight away. We walked along to the Fox Inn for lunch which was delicious and the kitchen had ample facilities to cook an evening meal. Only thing to mention is the parking isn’t ideal, but we did manage to get 2 small cars on the verge by the cottage (wasn’t any village parking) but had a visit from the neighbour who wasn’t too happy. Everything inside the property was high standard and we would LOVE to return, the garden especially would be beautiful in the sunshine. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A wonderfully relaxing stay at this lovely cottage

A good experience from booking to leaving this well equipped and comfortable cottage. Quiet, peaceful village, easy to get to places, lovely to come home to. Comfortable beds and quality linen. Beautiful garden with generous seating options. Surprisingly didn't have a coffee maker which disappointed and the master bedroom seemed to have a lot of cobwebs and therefore spiders. No problem elsewhere. We all said we would be very happy to stay again.

Cotswolds stay

Lovely lovely lovely place in the cotswolds. Such a unique and well cared for property that was a wonderful base for our time in the Cotswolds. Great little neighborhood on top of the hill, away from the center of town and with super easy access to town if wanted. What we liked, cleanliness, location, neighborhood and neighbors, access to walking paths and nearby towns, furnishings and outdoor spaces. What we found challenging, lack of control over heating settings for the unit itself as it was set to warmer than we would have liked during our visit and was not changeable as the owner has the system locked up, and the lack of supplies for our visit like toilet paper, hand soaps etc. Overall this is a fantastic property that we would stay in again and recommend.

As the property is self-catering only an initial supply of items like hand soaps, toilet paper etc. is supplied. We too hope you will be back to stay again soon!

Manor Farm Cottage, Donnington

This was our first cottage holiday with StayCotswolds and it certainly didn't disappoint. The Cottage was cosy and comfortable especially the beds. Well equipped with lovely furniture. The views from the bottom of the lane were breathtaking. I would certainly return to Manor Farm Cottage. We did have to contact the maintenance man because the kettle stopped working but he was there within a short while with another kettle. Also the pub in Longborough was a triumph, the food and hospitality was amazing.

Manor Farm Cottage

The cottage was easy to find and all communication from initial enquiry was excellent. To nitpick- a bucket was left in the kitchen, no hand towel in the downstairs bathroom and no black binbags. There were no dishwasher tabs or cloths either but 3 were provided on request. Please provide newspaper with the kindling. The house was lovely, warm and well appointed. The bedrooms and bathrooms comfortable and spotless. We would love to return!

Manor farm cottage, Donnington

On arrival the cottage looked immaculate and it was very well equipped with plenty utensils and crockery. After a day or so we noticed a few things which needed looking at which we would have expected to be done for the money paid, these are as follows:- garden weeds and lawn looked unattended for a while, the outside furniture was needing to be replaced as was broken and hadn’t been looked after, the locks in doors were were difficult to use, one bedside lamp was broken (looked like the connection for the bulb had melted) and shade was just balanced on holder, 3 of the window separators had fallen off and when you opened the windows you could tell had not been cleaned in ages as were full of dirt and spiders webs. Now I know this must sound really poor but apart from these issues the cottage was very nice indeed and we had a lovely stay.

Thank you Adrian for taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay at Manor Farm Cottage. We are delighted to hear that you found the property immaculate and well-equipped, with a generous supply of utensils and crockery. We truly appreciate your feedback and have shared your comments with the property owner. They have taken your observations seriously and would like to extend their apologies that the garden had not been attended to prior to your arrival. Due to a fully booked schedule, it has been challenging to arrange a suitable time for the gardener to visit between guest stays. Additionally, the unusually dry summer has affected the appearance of many gardens in the area, resulting in drier, browner lawns than usual. We are pleased to inform you that the outdoor furniture has since been replaced, and a locksmith has visited the property to repair the back door lock. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back to Manor Farm Cottage in the near future.

What A Lovely Village & Cottage

My In-laws, my husband and I all thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Donnington! Every one of us remarked on how beautifully the home is decorated. The beds and furniture are comfortable. We found everything we needed in the kitchen. The washer and dryer were appreciated. And, although they let us know that there was no iron or ironing board (we brought ours), there actually was, in the laundry room, so, thank you. The outdoor furniture was perfect for our one day warm enough to sit outside and the garden flowers were beautiful. Our walks into Stow were enjoyable after a local man explained where to walk through the fields. We only wish we had also walked into Moreton-in-Marsh. Maybe next time. Thank you for sharing this wonderful home with us! :)

Cotswold Relaxation

Second visit to this beautiful cottage. We returned for several reasons. The cottage has 3 double bedrooms, 2 ensuite which suits our group. No arguments over which room as they’re all similar in size. The open plan kitchen and living area is spacious yet cost. The house is warm so (sadly!) no need for the open fire. The kitchen is generally well kitted out although a few sherry/port glasses would be handy. Parking is difficult. Just about enough room for 1 small-medium car. The neighbours are a little awkward about parking. There isn’t anywhere off-road for second cars. The hamlet feels remote and is very quiet - which we love. Good walks from the front door. Hope to return next year.

Quiet luxury in perfect location

There's no doubt the level of luxury and detail in furnishings, decor and accessories is top notch here, but the price tag kind of demands that! The peace and quiet and perfect location to explore the Cotswolds were also highlights. The downsides are easily fixable, so hope the owners do: There was no microwave!! An essential for families. There were too many cobwebs to pass off as missed. The heating (supposedly set at a constant 22 degrees) dropped below 18 and the whole house was very cold. You're not allowed to alter the thermostat so I emailed and phoned the contact (in the house book) and eventually this was increased for our last two days stay. 18 degrees is too cold to be comfortable, and I've never stayed somewhere where the customer isn't allowed to choose the temperature. Quick fixes if the owner wants to make them. Otherwise, it was a beautiful place to stay and great that each bedroom has its own bathroom.

Lovely house but with issues

We stayed at Manor Farm Cottage for 4 nights Initially upon arrival we were very happy with the house, the decor is lovely and the house is well appointed. As previously mentioned by other guests, parking is not ideal but we managed to park one large car tightly up against the house. Unfortunately we soon discovered quite a few issues and despite contacting the owners/house manager the next morning, we received no response The sofa was not fit for purpose. The front leg of the sofa was broken so the sofa was being propped up by a piece of firewood and the base support had gone in the middle making the sofa quite uncomfortable to sit on Extractor in the en-suite did not work The towel rails in the main 2 bathrooms did not work The taps on the bath did not work, only the hand held shower. The heating thermostats were locked meaning some areas of the house were either comfortable / too hot or chilly If the above issues can be rectified then the house makes for a wonderful stay…
