Relaxing

Spending ten days in Lilly Bee Cottage, we had the chance to really live in the place. We found what we expected according the description and felt comfortable in kitchen and garden. Bedrooms were large and bright. We really relaxed by cruising through the Cotswolds and hiking near Sherston. Neighborhood is quiet and inviting, Sherston offers more than other villages of this size (inn, cafés, super market).

Beautiful cottage in great location

We really enjoyed our stay in Lilly Bee Cottage. It was extremely clean and comfortable with modern facilities. Sherston is a very pretty and quiet little village which served as a great base for exploring the Cotswolds. We would have no hesitation in returning…hopefully soon!

A very pleasant week in Lilly Bee Cottage

Lily Bee Cottage is a very pleasant small cottage with character very close to the main street in Sherston. We loved the decor, lovely pieces of art and some quirky ornaments, someone with a good eye has decorated and added lovely stylish touches. Overall we found the facilities to be very good, the beds are comfy and the shower is great, if more than one showering at night or running a bath you will need to 'boost' the hot water, this is easily done and instructions are provided. We couldn't get the NEFF hob to work unfortunately and there were no instructions provided, I think it would be helpful to provide instruction manuals for appliances. The oven worked with no problems, as did the microwave and coffee machine. We did not need to use any other appliances as we only stayed for a week. The garden is a little sun trap with great views. It was quiet in the village during the night and parking was easily found every day in the High Street. We enjoyed the food in The Rattlebone Inn and the The Old Royal Ship in Luckington. Very handy to have a well stocked Co-op shop in the village. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cottage.

Perfect escape to the Cotswolds but let down by poor standards from the cleaning team.

We had a wonderful stay at Lilly Bee Cottage, the owners have lovingly restored this 17th century cottage with such charm & attention to detail. From the moment we walked in we started to unwind, we had the most wonderful, relaxing stay was all over far too quickly for our liking! My only criticism is the owners have been let down by the cleaning team. The place needed a good dust - the coffee tables, bedside tables and kitchen table had clearly not been hadn't been touched since the previous guests and there were cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. The bedsheets and towels however were clean and fresh.

An Enchanting Cottage.

Beautiful charming cottage with all the modern needs. Washer/Dryer, dishwasher, great coffee maker, wonderful shower and bath. Breathe taking views and a wonderful garden. The town was small but charming, great pub, cafes and little shop for food. I will definitely be renting it again.

Wonderful Cotswolds break

Beautiful cottage which immediately felt like home. A Christmas tree was there to greet us and a pint of welcome milk! We could not recommend the cottage and village enough. Fabulous!

A very cosy cottage, in a great location

We had a really lovely stay - the cottage is beautifully presented and in a lovely village. It provided a great base for a visit to the Cotswolds. Our only slight disappointment was that we had an issue with the lock on the front door which resulted in us having to climb out of one of the windows. These things happen- but we were surprised when the property manager said the issue started with the previous guests. It was a miss not to communicate the issue with us.

Perfect Cotswold Cottage!

We wanted a cosy Cotswold cottage for an easy half-term holiday and Lilly Bee Cottage delivered perfectly. The location just off Sherston high street is ideal, with easy parking and a short walk up the High Street to The Angle cafe, the local COOP and The RattleBone pub ... pretty much everything you'll need. There's a well-equipped playground a short walk away and lots of local walks. The house is gorgeous and ideal for a short break - our daughter loved the elegant French bed in the small bedroom and we enjoyed waking up to views over the fields from the back of the house. The kitchen is well-equipped (just lacking a potato masher) and the garden is lovely. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Cottage

We so enjoyed our stay at Lily Bee Cottage. It was beautifully furnished with style. We loved everything about it. The kitchen facilities had a plentiful supply of crockery and appliances, a real home from home. My friend enjoyed a soak in the deep freestanding bath and the shower was great. Our beds were very comfortable with wonderful bed linen. The cottage is in a wonderful village, friendly with good facilities. We went to the Angel Cafe ( delicious) The Rattlebone Inn ( amazing Sunday lunch) and great walks. We visited Tetbury and experienced a lovely town, easy parking, dog friendly welcoming shops and amazing cafes and hotel food. Malmesbury was great too. We would highly recommend Stay Cotswold too, with easy and efficient booking process.

Fabulous little cottage

We really loved staying in Lily Bee Cottage, it is very comfortable, all of the fittings are of a very high standard and it’s very well equipped. A real home from home. The parking arrangements are absolutely fine, there’s always space. Sherston is a great little community, it is very convenient having a shop and several eateries within easy walking distance. And the residents are very friendly. We visited Tetbury, Cirencester and westonbirt, they are all within easy reach. Any questions regarding the cottage were dealt with quickly and efficiently and in a friendly manner. Wow would definitely stay again.

Fabulous Cottage, would definitely recommend

The cottage was beautifully decorated, it has everything you need. Lovely bed linen and comfortable bed, we had a wonderful break, the only issue was the cleanliness, lots of cobwebs and spiders in most corners and we found wood lice along the skirting boards. Given we couldn’t access the cottage until 5pm that’s long enough to thoroughly clean the place.

Last minute booking!

We managed to book the beautiful Lily Bee cottage last minute, and very grateful it was available! It was situated in the best location, between villages and towns which were under 30 minutes away. The village itself has much to offer between cafes, pubs and a CO-OP for essentials! The cottage has been decorated to a very high standard, it’s absolutely gorgeous! The garden is wonderful, we enjoyed soaking up the summer weather whilst the doggos enjoyed running around the enclosed garden (added bonus for us doggo lovers). Thank you for our stay!

Wonderful cottage

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lilly Bee Cottage which had everything we needed. It was in a good location and parking on the High Street was okay. If I was being really picky the only thing missing would be some cushions for the outdoor seating as we did sit out a lot as it was lovely weather. But the lack of these didn't detract from enjoying everything else. Definitely would like to return in the future.

Beautiful house

This is a beautiful, well decorated house in a lovely location. Alot of thought has gone into the decoration. Its a bit of a pain having to find somewhere to park nearby to load/unload the car as the road is too narrow to park outside but there is parking a few minutes away. It was cold on the first night and adjusting the heating didn't seem to impact much. Also the booster was needed if more than one person took a shower but once this was known it was simple to do. Overall, a great place to stay and explore the Cotswolds.

Beautiful cottage

Very tastefully presented and loved the style. Beds very comfortable. I only gave a 4 for comfort as we did find the cottage extremely cold on arrival on the Friday and was 24hrs before we adjusted/warmed up. It may be the cottage had been empty for a few days before. I am originally from the Highlands and quite hardened to the cold. Otherwise absolutely recommend .
