When we arrived there was no stairgate despite the fact we requested one and received confirmation from Sykes Cottages that the owner had confirmed there would be one there.. However it was fine and our Dog didn't go upstairs. The property was really nice and excellent location. We had problems flushing the toilet as the flusher kept sticking and constantly running. I telephoned the owner who advised that he was aware of the problem and all we had to do was lift the cistern lid which eased the problem and identified the flusher was broke and had been "bodged" On our final night I was disturbed at 3 am by what sounded like water dripping on inspection this was the case and water was dripping through the light fitting in the hallway. I attempted to stop this by turning off water supply and looking for isolation valves. Eventually I telephoned the owner at around 3-30 am who advised me the problem had recently occurred and the boiler had to be turned off. There was no apology which made me feel like i was intruding at an early but I was trying to preserve his property The drip eventually stopped after I left the hot tap in the kitchen at a trickle. Next morning as there was no hot water we packed up and left to get home When I arrived home I noticed I had forgotten some items of clothing in the bedroom so I emailed the cottage but received no reply then telephoned the owner to ascertain what to do. He advised the cleaner would find it and he would be in touch. I had to ring again and he confirmed it had been found and the cleaner would post it to me if I provided an address which I did. I have rung him again asking if it had been sent and he couldn't confirm if the cleaner had. I have since texted and rung him leaving a voicemail expressing my dissatisfaction. It will be 4 weeks tomorrow ( 3rd May) since our stay and still have received my items. I feel the process is very one sided in terms of leaving credit card details etc but this is clearly unacceptable and would welcome input from the agent Sykes Cottages of how I can get my items back

An ideal small cottage located in the centre of the picturesque Cotswold village.. Within easy reach of all the local attractions, with a great restaurant and pub within a short walking distance. We can thoroughly recommend.

The property is centrally Positioned to access the Cotswolds together with Stratford Evesham and Worcester, Mickleton itself houses a very nice village general store ( great local made cakes) and good walks .. The property feels cottage like nice size bedroom with a very comfortable bed , living rooms open up to a loverly garden , all the utensils was catered for the welcome pack was a nice touch. Jo

Mr Smith

There was a very generous welcome pack including bread, milk, cake, biscuits, wine and juice, which we were not expecting so we had brought lots of things that weren't needed, maybe future guests should be informed? The house was warm on arrival and a few lights left on to welcome us. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance and places to visit within 30 minutes drive.

Zeer proper en gezellig huisje! Alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig en functioneert. Het is klein: enkel geschikt voor 2 volwassenen + eventueel een baby (dan moet je babystoel, bedje, enz... zelf meebrengen) Dit is zeker een cottage om aan te raden voor 2 volwassen die van rust en gezelligheid houden!

Pretty cottage in a lovely location.. Kings Arms pub close by served good food at reasonable prices. Mickleton is a typical Cotswold location but of the busy tourist circuit. Local village stores well stocked for all basic needs. Dog walking paths at hand. Only grouse was the absence of a toilet brush !

Parking for a small car only,proplem getting out, could do with in BQ,

As well as tea and coffee, David the owner left bread, biscuits, a Victoria sponge, orange juice and a bottle of wine for us in the cottage.. This was more than we expected.

April 2018

Please feel free to pass on to the owner.. We much appreciated the welcome gifts of butter, milk, orange juice, cake(!) and biscuits - very thoughtful. The house was small, but perfectly formed, comfortable and generally well equipped. Our only suggestion for extras would be a drying up cloth for washing up, and a scouring pad for pans. The comprehensive cottage info pack was very helpful - the only thing missing was the collection arrangements for the bins. Oh - and some sunshine!
