Tawny Cottage Reviews

Tawny Cottage was absolutely lovely, perfect for our family weekend stay in the Cotswolds . The cottage was spotless and very well equipped and maintained, and in a great location. Walks on the doorstep, Burford 10 min walk away a selection of good pubs nearby, and lots to see and do in the vicinity.

Deborah

We loved the house and location. Enjoyed that the house was on a quiet road so not disturbed by traffic noise. The property has a good private garden. Would book the property again

Rashid

Very pleasant stay for me and my 11 year old exMilitary GSD. Will be back, for sure. Nigel was very helpful in accommodating an earlier than stated checkin. Left the cottage very clean and tidy as this is to be expected from any Military man. Will highly recommend.

Andrew

Fabulous cottage in a delightful setting helped by the fact we had great weather would highly recommend Tawny Cottage.

Lauraine

Everything was excellent at the property it was comfortable, spacious and well equipped, well maintained and in a great location. I'd recommend it without hesitation.

This is such a beautiful property, and despite the photographs, it exceeded our expectations! In fact, we were gutted to not be in it more!! The kitchen and dining area were hugely open plan and perfect for our first evening meal we cooked a 2 course meal in, and the lounge area was cosy and snug. The bedrooms were large, bright and airy. Everything was immaculately clean. We were absolutely delighted with our stay, and couldn't fault anything. We would definitely book again if we are in the area and will recommend to friends and family

Tawny Cottage is just perfect. Spacious and welcoming, the photos dont even nearly do it justice. The perfect layout for us, the downstairs en suite bedroom was ideal for my son, daughter in law, and baby, and our dog loved the safe, fully enclosed, garden. Its beautifully decorated and has such a cosy welcoming feel. The huge open plan kitchendining area was lovely and very well equipped with everything you could conceivably need, including a good size fridgefreezer large range cooker and separate drinks fridge. Having a separate comfy lounge was great for evenings, plenty of room to gather around playing games, watching tv, or just chatting and chilling. The cottage is situated in a pretty and very quiet area within easy walk of bustling, beautiful, Burford, which has an abundance of lovely specialist shops, restaurants, coffee shops and a good local co op. The location is amazing, really convenient for visiting all the pretty Cotswold villages and attractions. We had some lovely days out at Cotswold Water Park, Birdland, and Cotswold Wildlife Park which was just amazing!! Also its the most dog friendly area weve ever visited. Our dog was welcome at all the attractions we visited. The beds were incredibly comfy and the master bedroom with Juliette balcony over the back garden was just beautiful. We were sad to leave, its been one of the best family holidays weve ever had, we hope to return.

Tawny Cottage is a beautiful place. Very clean and tidy with lovely rooms and a wonderful enclosed garden. Everything you needed was there very well equipped. Myself, my daughter and our dog had a wonderful stay and only wished we had booked for longer as didnt want to leave it was that nice. Also blessed with such beautiful weather. Also the fansair con stands were so welcome and worked great in the heat. Just an idea, as we were there in heat, maybe some blinds on the landing windows, to try and keep down. Really want to visit again it was that lovely. Thank you xx

Siobhan

It is a fanatic property in a beautiful location. The house was so well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We throughly enjoyed our stay and certainly rebook with out doubt!

Rachael

Tawny cottage was beautiful. We loved how clean and comfortable everything was. It was also spacious and light with everything we needed. The location was also great and we had dinner at the carpenters arms and went on some lovely local walks. We would love to visit again and see more of the Cotswolds. Thank you for making us feel so at home

Valerie

Lovely property, very comfortable and extremely well equipped. We stayed during a very cold week and the cottage was beautifully warm. Our dog particularly enjoyed the safety of the enclosed garden. Would happily stay here again sometime in the future.

Carolyn

Property was nearly perfect for our family of 5 adults and 2 children. My one grumble would be that the fridge is way too small for the size of house. Could barely get the milk and wine in ..never mind the food. On the plus side it was good to see a butter dish and toast tongs which are often missing from holiday lets. Great quiet location with easy 15 minute walk into Burford.

Stuart

Hi there. Thanks for a fabulous stay. The only thing we can think of that might improve the house is for more than two tea towels to be provided and perhaps a bit more wood for the hot tub but other than that, it was perfect for our requirements!

Frederick

The only thing we would recommend would be the addition of a few egg cups! A couple of our party fancied a boiled egg once or twice, and there was nothing to put them in, Also, there was a dripping tap in the kitchen when we arrived. As the kitchen is integrated with the living area this was obviously something that was annoying, although when I reported it after a couple of days of thinking that it might stop it was fixed the same morning.

Christopher

This home was lovely for our group of 4 kids and 4 adults, and somehow was nicer in person than the photos suggested. The property is in a great location, and had everything we could have needed, including linens, kitchen wares, and games for the kids. Checkin was easy. The only thing that could have improved my experience is an option for trip protectioncancellation for international guests. All in all I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to have a lovely stay in the Cotswalds.

Anthony

Lovely property in a beautiful, peaceful area with some great surrounding walks and villages.

Angela

Tawny Cottage was a lovely place to stay set in a beautiful location. It was perfectly equipped, very clean and well looked after both inside and out. Within the Cotswolds its really well situated for visiting many places and there are nice walks right from the door. Burford itself has lots of lovely places to eat and shop so you dont need to go far if you dont want to. The perfect place to stay for us, our grown up family and our doggies we really didnt want to leave at the end of our 10 days.

Louise

It was a great cottage and we had a lovely time. Well equipped and comfortable. A couple of notes though minor point but there didnt seem to be anywhere to put hand towels in the toilet or the master ensuite. Also minor, but there could be more chopping boards. Not sure how the 300 bond worked more explanation would be good.

Stephen

Everything was lovely the house was spacious and in a great location. My only note for anyone looking at this cottage is that if you are a large family who watch a lot of TV together the lounge isnt a great shape for that, but that is the only tiny, tiny negative and is arguably a good thing

William

This cottage was first class. The owners had clearly fitted it out as if they lived there. We didnt want for a thing. Will definitely look to revisit.

We had a relaxing week's stay as a at Tawny cottage over Christmas for family reunion . Excellent location only a 20 minute walk to centre of Burford and 10 minute walk to nearest gastro pub with excellent food. We could easily reach all areas of the Cotswolds and shopping in nearby Witney. The owners had kindly provided Christmas decorations, throughout the house including a large tree in the kitchen diner, as welcome biscuits and Christmas crackers. Very thoughtful and much appreciated. The house is well equipped to a high standard, spacious and has everything you need for your stay. The beds in all the rooms are very comfortable along with 3 high standard bathrooms and downstairs toilet. There's plenty of sitting space in cosy lounge along with wood burning stove. The highlight is the large, bright kitchen diner with large dining table, good quality kitchen and utility room with lots of cupboard space and sofa, along with lovely views of Cotswold countryside. We would highly recommend a stay there.

Absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful, immaculately clean house. The house is modern, spacious, warm and has excellent facilities. The location of the house is great for exploring the Cotswolds. The house has ample off road parking which we really appreciated with three cars. We were three couples with three babies and one toddler and it worked really well for us. We all had a bathroom each and the bedrooms were all spacious and generously sized. We would highly recommend this property! We all had a wonderful stay, thank you very much!

Andrea

We very much enjoyed our stay in this clean, comfortable, well equipped home from home. The lovely comfortable beds would've been perfect with feather pillows, although I guess some people might prefer the fibrefilled type for allergy reasons. The 'welcome' box of biscuits which awaited our arrival was a thoughtful touch, thank you.

Maureen

Would be happy to stay here again.

Collette

Absolutely superb, beyond all of our expectations. 5 stars all the way. You provide outstanding holiday accommodation. We wanted for nothing. My partner describes it as The Beverley Hills of all the properties that we have stayed in. We cannot thank you enough! We would definitely love to return. You have certainly perfected the service that holiday homes offer. Thank you once again for allowing us to experience a holiday in your property.

Yvonne

A superb house, very thoughtfully furnished and equipped. Walks an he accessed straight from the house, yet also ideally located for Oxford etc. Smallest of useful items which would be useful would be an ice tray and a boot brush by front door.
