Cotswolds Magic

We have had a wonderful stay in Bensons Cottage this week. The house was well appointed, warm and well located. I have no hesitation in recommending this property and look forward to returning.
Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023

A very enjoyable week

Having stayed in hotels since 1999 for Cheltenham Festival week we decided to rent a house this year and we were really pleased with the decision. We are likely to do the same next year.

A lovely stay at Benson Cottage

Fabulous 3 king bedroom property with en-suites in all rooms made for a perfect stay for 3 couples. Great living space and large kitchen. Great cosy escape for winter with the log burner and great heating, but we can imagine the garden being great for summer use. Big house, car parking for one but plenty of space at the front for more cars. Excellent location for the Cotswolds exploring. Highly recommend this house to stay in and we will be back for sure! Only recommendation is some more mirrors and more than one (better quality) hair dryer. Thank you for the milk and biscuits!

Another wonderful stay at Benson cottage

We were thrilled to be able to stay for a second time at Benson Cottage. It is a beautiful, well appointed and warm home in the heart of the Cotswolds. A lovely home for a family and we cannot wait to return. We intend to make this our base each time we visit from Australia.

Perfect Cotswolds stay

Benson Cottage exceeded expectation. Clean, comfortable and quiet, it is ideally located for easy access to many nearby villages without traffic passing by. We had the perfect long weekend and would certainly return again!

A comfortable property.

Benson Cottage was a good property, comfortable and clean in an area that suited our requirements for visits to National trust properties and towns in the cotswolds. Three comfortable bedrooms all with en-suite facilities. A quiet sitting room and a tv lounge. A few minor negatives, the front door did not lock due to poor alignment, the heating system was a bit off a hit and miss affair, but the house manager did her best to resolve, the garden was small and uninteresting. Parking area for 1 car was flooded so no access to car parking via the back gate, this was due to heavy rainfall during our visit. Apart from these minor issues we enjoyed our time at Benson Cottage.

A lovely house with excellent facilities for a family get together

We found the accommodation to be excellent for our basic requirement of 3 double rooms with at least two bathrooms. Benson cottage provided 2 Kingsize bedrooms with en-suite showers and a master suite with Queensize bed. All comfortable, cozy and well equipped for our week away. We have a family get together every year with a cottage rental, and this was the best accommodation yet. The local village pub was being renovated, which was a shame, but lots of other choices within 15 minute drive. Very quiet location which suited us fine.

Good location and property but some problems

My review will sound very familiar to other users of the property who have reported the same problems without them being resolved. Chief of these is the problem with parking which is very limited due to cones round a collapsed drain in the shared driveway. When we tried to move the cones to make it easier to manoeuvre in and out one of the neighbours came out and told us not to. The information provided on entering the property was really a set of dire warnings about cleaning and rubbish disposal on leaving. The shower tray in the bedroom we used didn’t drain so getting into the shower after someone had used it was slippery and dangerous. There were few coat hangers. We were unable to use the washer as the only drying option was a very small fold out airer - and no pegs. None of these problems would take much sorting out. Benson Cottage is a lovely house in an excellent location and it seems a pity not to be able to give a better review

Benson Cottage

Benson Cottage is very attractive and beautifully appointed. We were very pleased with the overall quality of the property and despite the various negative issues we had a very enjoyable stay. So, the constructive comments that follow are similar to previous review by cottage holiday renters. The cottage is advertised with parking for two cars. There is NO WAY two cars can park off road. The broken water pipe in the designated parking area -which according to the lovely neighbour I spoke to has been coned and cordoned off since October 2023 (that’s EIGHT MONTHS AGO! -So I ask why is this property still advertising two parking spaces that clearly are not available?). Further more, even without the broken pipe I would suggest parking would be limited to only two very small cars. The cottage is advertised with strong Wi-Fi, but apart from the sitting room and bedroom 3 situated directly above, the Wi-Fi was poor. The main bedroom en-suite lacked any means of fresh air and on arrival smelt ‘stale and damp’ - due presumably to the skylight window being inaccessible to open. It needed some sort of pole to enable opening and airing. Bedroom 3 has no wardrobe nor any facility to hang clothes. Not too much of an issue for our three night stay but had we been staying for longer, some sort of wall hooks/pegs would have been helpful. Also a zip/ link bed in one of the bedrooms would offer more flexibility for folks/children happy to share a room but not a bed. The cottage instruction folder bordered on useless and needed a complete overhaul. Outdated refuse information, no information re dishwasher especially regarding program cycles, yet pages and pages on heating system when in fact all one needed was how to switch on, set temperature and switch off! Three different Wi-Fi passwords listed was not helpful either, as only one was correct.. Finally, more tourist information and a visitor book would be helpful plus a key safe outside that is located at a height for everyone over the age and height of a five year old would be perfect, as having to kneel down every time to use the key safe was not ideal. .

A great weekend

We were meeting up with friends and booked Benson Cottage as is was perfect for us, king size beds and en-suite shower to each bedroom. The cottage is modern and well appointed and we had a very pleasant stay. It is impossible to park 2 cars at the rear of the property as firstly they would have to be small and secondly at present there is a coned off area in the parking space covering the broken rain water pipe under the shingle drive, this according to a neighbour has been like it for some time. We returned on Saturday evening and as it was rather chilly decided to light the fire, there were written instruction which were followed to the letter but this proved impossible as smoke poured from around the chimney and set off the fire alarm. There was a phone number to ring but we just decided to abandon the idea. I do think that the fire and the chimney need to be inspected. We would return as it is a lovely cottage in a quiet village.

A lovely stay with friends

We all had a fabulous time. The cottage was well equipped with all the things you need. The only thing I would say is that there is not space for 2 cars at the back at all, so we parked out the front. Also the heating was set so the upstairs was cold .

Our stay at Benson Cottage in Paxford

What a lovely cottage, beautifully decorated and comfortable. I loved waking up in the morning and seeing the baby lambs from my bedroom window. From Benson cottage it was an easy drive to visit all the places that we wanted to see during our stay. I would highly recommend Benson cottage and if we are ever staying in the Cotswolds again I would love to come back to stay.

We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. Our daughters joined later in the week which was a great opportunity to meet up with them. Having the 3 en-suits was very helpful.

Short stay but a nice one

We chose Benson cottage as our base bringing with us 2 elderly relatives one being partly wheel chair bound. Ideally a Bungalow would have been better but could not locate one in the area. The steps from the entrance hall x3 were aided by a banister so that was fine and the large down stairs toilet was a major plus. The cottage was well presented and cleane and tidy with an excellent heating system made our stay a pleasant one.

Stylish and spacious house.

Great house, plenty of space for 6 adults and two babies. Makes such a difference for everybody to have their own ensuite. All three bedrooms very spacious, but master suite was huge and bathroom had bath and large shower. Bathrooms were all modern and clean with spacious showers. Kitchen was roomy and well equipped, with plenty of room around the table for us all. Having two lounges was great, although I would have preferred them both to have a television. Parking wasn't an issue, we parked one car round the back of the house and two out front and didn't have a problem retaining those spaces over the weekend. We'd definitely stay there again when visiting the Cotswolds.

Everything we needed

House was well equipped, plenty of room for 5 of us. Enjoyed the two sitting rooms to keep TV watchers from book readers. Local area very interesting Moreton-In-Marsh particularly along with Hidcote and very nice food at Ebrington Arms Only observation that some small decorative touch ups required, but this only being picky.

Good holiday home

First impressions give a feeling of luxury and its lovely to have 3 ensuite rooms with good proportions. I dont want to be too negative as we had a great stay here but it's clear that there is not much input from the owners. The pillows are awful and many did not have protectors. Other bedding was ok. A few basics missing - No soap in downstairs loo/spatula for frying pan not good. Parking spaces not suitable for 2 cars and were flooded. Some repairs needed to various marks/holes in walls. Good holiday home which could be luxurious. Shame no TV in sitting room. Impersonal welcome sheet on arrival.

Family Break

Fantastic cottage. The cottage itself is well kitted out and everything was very clean and fresh with excellent quality bed linen, towels etc. A lovely touch was a welcome cake. Having en-suites to all three bedrooms made it much easier on a multi generational family break, as did having a ‘TV’ room and another sitting room. The location is great - quite rural for walks, but within easy reach of Stratford-upon-Avon and beautiful Cotswold villages. We also met some lovely, welcoming neighbours. We are checking calendars to see when we can re-visit!
