Charming homelike Cotswold Cottage sleeps 4 2bath/2bed Tranquil hidden village.

That's a lot of greats! So glad these two girls had a nice time exploring our beautiful area.

Great to hear these guests enjoyed the peace of the cottage and Ilmington. Indeed it has been unseasonably cold the first half of June which is why we leave the option of central heating all year round to keep the cottage cosy.

Thank you very much for your enthusiastic recommendation - we are always pleased to hear that we lived up to expectations. We hope to see you back sometime.

I am really pleased to read that these guests enjoyed their stay so much and we are grateful for their kind review.

What lovely appreciative guests! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay so much. You were really lucky with the mild Autumn weather that we had this year right up to November 1st!

Delighted that these guests enjoyed their winter experience in Ilmington. If you like the village, the walks, the cottage, in Winter, then you will love it in the Summer. (or Spring, or Autumn...!)

I am so glad these guests enjoyed their stay and in particular the village which has been repeatedly picked out in polls as one of the best villages in England to live (shhh! we want to keep this secret, just between us!) and of course that applies to stays here too. Look up for more on Ilmington on greatbritishlife site. We hope Alison and family will maybe manage to get back here sometime to sample another slice of what the local area has to offer

It was such a pleasure to host you and your family and I really appreciate the trouble taken to write such a detailed review. I hope you found my "walks" folder in the dresser (I forgot to point out all my folders on the area like restaurants, gardens, activities etc.). We look forward to seeing you back in Ilmington.

It was so lovely to have some Americans stay again. We have really missed you in the last two years! I am pleased to hear you had a good time discovering a different part of the Cotswolds and thank you for writing such a great review.

We really appreciate this review which is so descriptive of the experience of living for a week like a local in Ilmington - eating at the pub, going on walks in the area or just staying ‘home’ in the garden.

A much appreciated review for such a short stay (many book two weeks, especially the returners). I was very pleased to hear that we had given everyone a happy break and a good sleep (probably the most important part of a holiday)!

So glad these lovely Dutch guests enjoyed their stay at Sansome House Cottage and enjoyed the countryside around as well as the privacy of the garden. We would be delighted to host them again.

Ich freue mich sehr, dass diese lieben Gäste ihren Besuch genossen haben. Es war uns eine Freude, sie zu beherbergen. Ich hoffe, dass wir sie eines Tages wieder treffen.

We are still finding new walks after over 40 years in the area! But the ones from the doorstep are the best! We are spoilt for choice - flat (towards Armscote and Blackwell) or hilly. Great that you enjoyed your stay - that makes us very happy!

Thank you for your lovely review. Expectations of new guests are always a worry when people give us great reviews so it is a relief to hear we surpassed them. We look forward to that return visit!

I am pleased you enjoyed showing your relations this beautiful area which has so much to offer to the visitor. We have had guests stay a month and only scratched the surface of the "must see's" and after 42 years here, ourselves, we are still discovering new places!

Thank you very much for kindly reviewing the cottage. We were very pleased to host you and we know that you enjoyed some of the many walks in the area. We hope that you found our laminated walk plans useful.

It was lovely to be able to host this family in a period when the cottage had been looking sad and empty, bereft of jolly holidaymakers. I love to know it feels like home. The walking around here is second to none and even after 40 years I am discovering new trails. Along with Stratford, Ilmington has just been voted on a list of Best Places to live in the Midlands by judges for the Sunday Times. i would add that the village is also worthy of the title, Best Place to stay!

So pleased to hear you felt you were in the right place to visit the Cotswolds! I thought the bathroom needed a change of curtains so I have just hung new ones I made last week. Appreciative guests such as yourselves are welcome back any time!

We are always keen to hear if there is anything more we can reasonably provide so we are delighted to hear that you found you had everything you needed. We look forward to another visit from you!

Thank you for your lovely review. I am glad you managed to have a little explore of the area in between bouts of working remotely. We are always pleased to welcome back appreciative guests!

Very remiss of me (sorry) as I find that I forgot to put a response to this review when it came in, months ago! Thank you so much for your very kind words and we hope to see you again some time in the future.

I always love having Australians stay and especially their 'can do' attitude. Due to major works in the village, beyond my control (new underground cables) this lovely mother and daughter were faced with the prospect of a whole day of their holiday without electricity but were totally un-phased by this. I feel so fortunate to find myself hosting delightful guests such as these and I am glad they enjoyed their stay.

It was a pleasure to host this delightful family and I am delighted that they enjoyed the comforts of home while still enjoying the wider area and the village of Ilmington, itself. As my guest points out, the mobile/cell phone reception in the village is poor and I do stress this in all my listings. I provide an 'emergency' landline in case of being unable to obtain a signal in......emergencies! However the wifi is good so you can boost the signal using wifi call if your provider allows and of course, over the wifi you can use services such as Whatsapp or skype for calls.
