Immersed in the greenery, an oasis of tranquility and the gem of the outdoor hot tub….. ##### matteo This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron Feb 21, 2024 #### Our stay at The Stables at Lilac Cottage was perfect! Nestled in a serene village in the Cotswolds, it offered the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience, being just a short drive away from the charming Bourton-on-the-Water and the bustling town of Cheltenham. Our highlight was definitely unwinding in the hot tub after a long days walk! Whether you're exploring the areasimply looking for a peaceful retreat, this place is a gem that should not be missed! ##### Aaron This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren Aug 4, 2024 #### We’ve just got home from our stay at Lilac Cottage, and already want to go back! The space was perfect and we felt right at home. The location is great with loads of friendly animals nearby. Hosts were great, clear communication and loads of nice little touches. (Like a chocolate cake on arrival!) Hot tub was fabulous, and we barely got out of it. We had the weather on our side but would be perfect in winter too. Thank you so much for our perfect weekend away. We cannot wait to return. ##### Lauren This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel Feb 18, 2024 #### Great place to enjoy the hot tubventure out for walks. The property is located in a very quiet village with a couple of countries pubs about 7/8 minutes drive away. It’s well located to visit the beautiful countryside for hikesvisit villages like Bourton on the water. There is no TVdining room table so there is a lack of comfortable seating for more than 3 people if you wish to eat dinner in the property. ##### Rachel This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Jul 30, 2024 #### Very nice and comfortable beautiful location Wonderfull location, beautiful surroundings. Hous is very comfortable and light. I was surprised to find only 2 very small frying pans, to accommodate up 4-6 people that is problematic, likewise for the utencils. The folding door(left part) is hard to open, might need some adjustments, toiletrol holder in the largest bathroom is loose. Indoor seating is also limited (understandably). ##### Peter This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly Aug 3, 2024 #### Back from a wonderful week at the stables, lilac cottage. The cottage itself is beautiful with an amazingly huge garden where we spent many an evening playing hide and seek with the kids. ☺️ We were very lucky with the weather and made the most of it with many days out. Highly recommend bourton on the water and Bibury both some of the most stunning places we have been with lots of Cotswold charm. Everything from start to finish from instructions to access the property to amenities within were fantastic. Thankyou very much we would definitely return. Kelly.

No one responded to our messageour calls. We had to go into the garden afraid of being in violation. We found the keys left in the key box which was not locked. ##### Stephanie This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian Jul 23, 2025 #### Wij verbleven met een gezin van 4 voor 5 nachten om de Cotswolds te ontdekken Wij verbleven met een gezin van 4 voor 5 nachten om de Cotswolds te ontdekken. Deze accommodatie was daarvoor perfect geschikt. Mooi centraal gelegen, super smaakvol ingericht, smetteloos schoon, erg comfortabele en goede bedden en 2 heerlijke douches. Van bedlinnen tot handdoeken, alles van een hoge kwaliteit. Zeker aan te bevelen voor een heerlijk rustig verblijf en een ervaring geheel in stijl met de omgeving. ##### Christian This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Danny Oct 5, 2024 #### So we stayed here as we love the Cotswold vibe, this was giving just that. Not too far away from Burton on the water and the slaughters but a car is a must No phone signal at all but decent enough wifi. Hot tub was lovely in the evenings but we had the jets turned off to listen to the wildlife and at our suprised on our last night we were inches away from rumergin hedge hog. Beautiful views of the Cotswold village - lounge/kitchen area was small - lots of beds in the bedrooms but no real space to chill other than on a little sofa area. Bathrooms were amazing though and have these infrared heated mirrors - nice touch. The heating throughout the property is decent with underfloor heating right through.On our last night we used the hot tub for around 3 hours - the smell of woodfires from the locals sweeping through the Cotswolds. The bed in the main bedroom is really not great though, I’m 6ft4 and 18st and it felt like it was going to break every turn. No TV - as listed. ##### Danny This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Paul Jul 30, 2024 #### Cotswolds Summer Stay The property overall was perfect for our stay, 2 adults and 1 baby. - Outdoor seating is great, just need to be lucky enough to collaborate with the good dry weather - The facilities, fridge, appliances, hot tub, outdoor seating all excellent quality items made the stay feel more premium - Location was quiet, peaceful, very nice - Check in and out was very simple - Would very much recommend the property to a small family or couples The property may have been empty / unused for some time as there were a lot of cobwebs when we arrived. - Under Sofa in living / kitchen - Above kitchen beams (to be expected as it is a barn style accommodation) - In corner of main bath shower room floor - Under main bedroom double bed The cleaning was fine in general, just a lot of cobwebs unfortunately. - Provide an Iron and Board? May be use full for some. ##### Paul
