Beautiful cottage and lovely location; a few minor issues but we would return
Shaven Cottage is a really lovely property. It’s a great size and in a village with a couple of lovely pubs to eat in. The decoration and quality of accommodation was great and the property inside was very clean and well maintained. The three lounges were a nice bonus as the children had their own games room/lounging room. It’s well located and close to plenty of other Cotswolds villages and attractions. It’s a shame the pub next door wasn’t serving food at all while we were there as it looked lovely! Parking is up the side of the house and behind a large gate which is good, but it’s quite a narrow driveway if you have a big car. The outside space was nice - the lawn area hadn’t been mowed which made clearing up after the dogs trickier, but presumably this would be in the summer. One small disappointment was that the hot tub area hadn’t been cleaned since the previous use and there was food on the floor around it. Having reported this, a company arrived to clean the following day however. We thought the standard of accommodation was good value for money, however it was a shame that when we asked for the starter logs we were told that we weren’t entitled to them as it was now April. The website noted logs would be provided October to April but evidently they mean October through March. A small detail but for the cost of the property, ambiguous wording on the website and the fact that the hot tub area hadn’t been cleaned, a few logs as a gesture would have been appreciated. No welcome hamper either which was a surprise for a high quality property like this (although some milk was provided and a few biscuits). Perhaps we have just been spoilt in previous properties however. These are minor things however, and overall it was lovely: we would recommend this property and would return, but I think some extra touches would make it 5/5 value for money and customer service.

Good family short break
We were 6 adults and 3 children celebrating a 70th birthday. The cottage was very suitable for us and the hot tub was used a lot. The layout is really good with plenty of room. The fourth bedroom is quite tight when the (uncomfortable) sofa is up. No parking really as on a main road but this did not cause a problem as the pub was happy to take two cars. All in all a great stay.

Stunning house and stay
What a fabulous holiday house, we had the best time in this comfortable home and we enjoyed all the facilities that the house had to offer, very well equipped kitchen with plenty of space for our large family. Would definitely recommend for a family or friends getaway home. Loved it and will definitely be going back one day.

Family stay in October half term
We had a lovely stay at Shaven Cottage. Very comfortable and very well appointed and in a fabulous location and I would definitely stay there again. A couple of things though which could be improved upon. I did try to get hold of the property manager by messenger and email to ask various questions before our stay but no one responded which was frustrating. One of the questions was about the quantity of wood provided for the wood burning stoves as I knew we would be using them. There are three stoves and should have been enough logs for each to get going according to the blurb but there were in fact only three logs which actually looked like they’d already been partly used. This is a premium property and as such it would be a good idea and probably wouldn’t cost a great deal for there to be a supply of logs in a store to the rear of the property. This would be great for people staying over the winter months and save traipsing to the garage especially if you were without a car like us. Apart from that a fabulous cottage.

A great place to stay
We had a short stay and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hot tub was a great hit with all the family especially the grandchildren. A great place to stay.
