Week Stay in the Cotswolds - Shopping & Hiking
Cottage is well situated for the places we wished to visit, well equipped kitchen (although lacking a tea towel) lounge, tv, bed very comfortable, washing machine and dryer if required (we did a load), bit tired in places and some areas could have been cleaner (but raised with booking agent for action).
All in all a pleasant stay :)

Excellent stay
Lovely cottage perfectly placed for enjoying the Cotswolds.
Minor issues - no welcome pack , uncomfortable sofa and lack of basic cleaning products.
Cottage was generally clean but didn’t like partly used food in the cupboards.

Wonderful stay!
We had a great time here! However due to the pitched roof, we kept bumping our heads in the bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. Might not be the best for tall people. It would also be super useful if some bin bags were provided too so we can help keep the property clean! These are just some minor gripes. Overall had a great time!

The cottage at Robin’s Roost
The property was in an excellent and quiet location within a reasonable stroll to Bourton on Water. It was generally very well equipped. The bed was comfortable but would have been better if it had been a king size bed- I know the sloping ceiling made this difficult but I think it would have been doable. The main downside of the cottage for us was it wasn’t very warm. Also we didn’t like the type of curtains downstairs as at nighttime anyone outside could see in - even if not that clearly. It made me feel a bit insecure.

Would come again!
Decided to take a weekend away in the country during a bank holiday and this place was amazing. Super close to all the more popular villages, and this village is also super cute, but not overrun by tourist. It’s big enough for two people. Kitchen is nice and big, and the couch is comfy enough to fall asleep on.

The Cottage at Robins Roost
Location was excellent, perfect for exploring the Cotswolds with my partner and our dog. The cottage itself was lovely and cosy, however, the only down side seemed to be that it was in desperate need of a deep clean and some minor updating just to give it that 5/5 rating.

Amazing little cottage in the heart of the cotswolds
Myself, my wife and our dog went away for a nice weekend at the cottage, the cottage is presented nicely and has everything you need!
The surrounding areas such as burford and Bourton on the water, have a lot to offer with little bakery’s and independent shops. Daylesford farm shop is only around a 10 minute drive away and is definitely worth it.

Beautiful stay
We had a wonderful stay at Robins Roost. The cottage is beautiful and very comfortable with great facilities. I loved the little touches too, like the books, games and biscuits. Just be careful if you cook as it does get Smokey so be prepared to open the sliding doors whilst cooking. We also took our dog and he loved his stay. We would definitely recommend this cottage for anyone wanting a stay with a pet. It is only a 5 minute drive to Bourton-on-the-water so it is the perfect location.

Lovely cottage for a couple. Easy to find and park. Very clean, and the hosts were helpful by allowing us to check in slightly early and left some basic essentials (tea, milk, washing liquid, towels etc). We only really slept/got changed as we would spend our days in Bourton-On-The-Water or elsewhere which is about 30 minutes walk away taking the shortest routes through the fields - I wouldn't want to do it in the dark.

A lovely stay for a week away!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cottage at Robins Roost. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable week away. Location is perfect as it’s just a 2 minute drive away from Bourton-on-the-Water and close to other attractions as well. Our only comments would be that the parking space is a little tight if you are bringing a larger car, and check in time of 5PM was a bit later than we had planned. We couldn’t do much before as didn’t want to leave our car anywhere when it had our luggage inside!
All in all a lovely stay for enjoying a week in the Cotswolds.

Robins Roost
A lovely comfortable cottage in a beautiful village with great walks with the dog. The cottage was well equipped with everything we could need. Bed comfortable and sofa in the lounge lovely and comfortable.
The only thing I would say is that we had to keep the dog on the lead in the outside area because of chickens (which we didn’t see) and the broken electric gate. But it wasn’t a huge problem.

Thank you Claire for your review of Robins Roost. We are delighted to read that the cottage was well equipped and comfortable in the beautiful village of Little Rissington. It is mentioned in the finer details for the property that dogs must be kept on a lead at all times when outdoors as the courtyard is not enclosed and the owners have a flock of free range pet chickens and two cats that may be visible to your dog on the grounds. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Cotswolds soon.

A lovely retreat but a note for dog owners..
This property was ideal for us and lacked nothing. All very comfortable. It is advertised as 'dog friendly' and although we are the owner of a dog we did not bring her along on this occasion. I think this was a good decision as we felt it isn't really suitable for a dog, as there is no small outside space where a dog can be left free to wander. And we got the impression dogs were tolerated rather than welcome. The doors would always need to be kept closed when in the property with a dog and they would need to be on a lead at all times if in the shared outside area. This would quickly become tiresome. Other than that- we loved the property and the surrounding areas.

Thank you Jayne. We are so glad you loved this comfortable property and the surrounding area. We hope we can welcome you back to the Cotswolds soon
My mom and I had a nice trip to the Cotswolds, and this cottage was in a great location to get to some of our favorite towns. The cottage is very well decorated and was very clean.
There unfortunately was one issue with our stay— there had been a wifi outage that impacted the property. We had been informed about it in advance but Stay Cotswolds had no other properties that could accommodate us on such short notice. I didn’t want to cancel the trip because we already had rented a car, so I said we could go ahead but I had to be the one to ask for compensation, which the host agreed to (it would have been better service to offer compensation without me asking for it).
There was no cell service in the house itself so we had to go outside to get any service. No one gave us an indication that this might be the case, so it was an unfortunate surprise.
Obviously, this won’t be the case for other people staying, but I thought it could have been handled better if the host had been more proactive.

Thank you Mary for your review of The Cottage. We are delighted that you found the property to be clean, well decorated and in a good location. We are very sorry that there was an issue with the internet during your stay, unfortunately as this is a complimentary service, the property owners cannot be held accountable for any service interruption and therefore would not normally compensate guests for any issues with this. The online description does confirm that the mobile phone reception at the property is poor. We do hope that overall you enjoyed your time exploring the Cotswolds!

A lovely stay at Robins Roost
We had a great stay at Robins Roost - perfectly located for lots of great walks straight from the doorstep. The cottage is well equipped and more than big enough for a couple and a dog. The wifi is fast, really powerful shower, nicely heated and comfortable bed. Overall the property was clean although there were quite a few cobwebs around which could have been easily cleaned hence the 4 for cleanliness, although didn’t bother me too much. Overall we had a fantastic stay, thought it was great value for money and would return. Thanks for a lovely visit!

Lovely comfortable cottage
Lovely cottage, fairly well maintained. Bed was surprisingly comfortable, kitchen was very well stocked with everything u need. Shower not so good, no pressure & leaking out of control. Neighbour was a bit aggressive, pouncing on me when I went to find washing machine, decided not to use that facility as it was in the back of a garage, not appealing.
