This is the worse and most expensive holiday cottage we have ever rented. Uncomfortable beds and the one in the main bedroom creaks so much it woke us up every time one of us turned over. There is no point in the dishwasher as the kitchen has so little crockery you have to wash up all the time of there is no crockery for the next meal. The wardrobe in the second bedroom upstairs was full of linen and towels leaving no space for anything else to go in there and there are no drawers either, meaning no where to put your belongings. There is no shower mat in the upstairs bathroom and the one in the downstairs shower room is really mouldy! Cobwebs every where, I 'm surprised Stay Cotswold have this place on their books, not up to standard

One of the reasons for booking Summer Hayes was that it had a downstairs bedroom with toilet and shower for one of our party. This was fine and very useful. The location, only a couple of miles away from Broadway was fine. The décor was "Quirky" with a mixed theme. Not sure if it was African or Victorian. The kitchen was very modern and well fitted out although a few more items of crockery would have been useful. Downstairs some of the furniture was well past its sell by date. We were informed that some of this was shortly to be replaced. We were unable to get the Smart TV to work. We were concerned that some of the wiring may not pass a safety test as a cable was running under the front door mat . We would not recommend this should you have small children. To may sharp corners, ornament and wires. Upstairs was somewhat odd but clean with a toilet and shower serving the two room. This was fine but the addition of a shower mat for safety should be fitted. A hair dryer would have been helpful for upstairs. Clothes hanging space was limited. The details stated that there was a BBQ in the Garden. This was a rusty peace of metal. No way would we use it. The garden needed the hedge cutting and basically clearing up. Excellent restaurant only 300 meters away and adjoining neighbour's and opposite very pleasant and helpful. You ask below if we would recommend it? The answer would be No. However if the items that we mention were rectified the answer would be yes.

We had a few issues with our stay. Fair to say, some were outside the control of both Stay Cotswold and the property owner. The customer service was totally excellent though, both while we were there and since we got home - a really first class fast response. I made a detailed report of what went wrong, and have received a very charming email back from the owner by return. He is very much on the case and has pulled out the stops to make amends. There are a few negative comments on previous reviews, some of which reflect what we experienced - but I have full confidence that the situation is being rectified with immediate effect and all will be well for future guests. Summer Hayes is such a lovely cottage, in a beautiful position and so well placed for visiting the Cotswolds. Have no hesitation, book it. Plenty of space for 5 and a dog or two. The ground floor bedroom and powder room was particularly appreciated by one of our party who is waiting for a new hip! Two showers very much appreciated, and the conservatory is a lovely space to dine.

We stayed a week here, the house had everything you would need for the stay, the kitchen had all the utensils needed, although the Aga took some getting use to. Upstairs bedrooms were a good size, the biggest "But" I have is the smaller of the double room Upstairs desperately needs a new mattress my back was in pieces by the end of the week ( and no the other guests would not swap) or a new mattress topper.

We really enjoyed our stay at Summer Hayes. It was comfortable and we loved the exposed stone and the outdoor space. It's a perfect location to explore the northern Cotswolds. A nice pub we could walk to, walk to Broadway if we wanted, the public footpaths were everywhere! It took us a little while to get used to the locking mechanism on the front door. Also please note, the washer is also the dryer and it is very small and takes a really long time to complete a load. It was not practical for a family of 4. And too, the dishwasher does not clean the dishes, so we did them all by hand.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at the cottage, but we thought the cottage was a little ‘tired’! It could do with a little attention and a good clean. Generally the cleanliness was ok but could have been better. The back garden was very unkept, in need of attention. One evening we did get chance to sit out on the sun but weeds screamed at us to tidy them up, which we ended up doing. The cottage is in a great location for touring Broadway (just about walking distance) and the surrounding area.

We had a wonderful weekend staying at Summer Hayes. It was perfect for meeting up with friends and plenty of walks nearby. Childswickham has a lovely pub and the food was excellent. Cottage was clean and we were lucky enough to have such good weather to enjoy the garden.
