All Souls Cottage: Review.. We have been many times on holiday in accommodation provided by Sykes. They have always come up trumps and we have always been delighted with the standard they provide. This time they excelled even themselves and exceeded our highest expectations.
“All Souls Cottage” is superb. Being an old building, it is full of character, for example, the windows. The accommodation was warm, spacious, well appointed, scrupulously clean, beautifully furnished, tastefully decorated and fully equipped with every modern convenience, including (and new to us) internet television. Dining in the conservatory overlooking the garden was a real pleasure. A table and seats were also provided for al fresco eating. Both the cottage and the garden are totally private. It is easy to think of the cottage as a permanent home.
The icing on an already scrumptious cake is the garden. It is truly excellent; well stocked with colorful plants, shrubs and trees. There is also a well-manicured lawn. The garden, with its different levels, has been designed with imagination and skill. Whilst we were at the cottage there was a resident pheasant and we saw squirrels and many different birds.
The cottage sits in the sparsely populated, picturesque Cotswold Village of Eastleach. It has its own pub. This is but a short walk from the cottage and its welcoming staff offer a varied menu at reasonable prices.
We had the pleasure of meeting the owner who was able to give us some of the background to the cottage as well pointers to the many local attractions in the area. Included in these was the adjacent fourteen-acre garden at Eastleach House. This is open by arrangement; details are in its website. If you are able to see it, you will be delighted with its design and scope.
All Souls Cottage in Summary:
Positives: All of the Above.
Negatives: None.
Recommended? Absolutely !!
