Overall, The Lantern is a beautiful place.
Itâs well located for exploring the village and its many attractions. Itâs not far from many other great locations. The home has been finished wonderfully, but there were a few niggles. On arrival we were missing key elements for our stay, including wood and matches for the fire (given how cold it was during our stay, weâd hoped to use it regularly). Wood was shortly delivered but the store wasnât filled, so we ended up getting more from the shop. The house guide wasnât there for us, so we didnât have any information for the property (we found some pages on how to light the fire eventually but that was all). The WiFi was shared by the host. Our hosts were also away for the weekend, so on later discovering we also had no washing up liquid left (apart from one small squidgy in the bottle) and no dishwasher tablets, they werenât able to assist so we brought our own. While I donât expect to necessarily have all you need, it felt like it had been forgotten to be restocked. Especially as on a hunt to locate more we came across a cupboard that had more of all the things we didnât need (coffee pods, ear buds, laundry detergent), but not those we did. We were only provided with one bin bag for a week with no others in the property to be found. Luckily on purchasing more wood, we ended up with several of those bags. There was also a strong smell in the bathroom, so we had to have the window open for the entirety of our stay (during icy weather) in the hopes of dissipating it, but unfortunately it never went away. While the pressure of the ensuite shower was great, there were some mouldy residue patches, and the main washroom looks like it once homed a shower and seeing that reinstated would mean not having to awkwardly be in somebody elseâs bedroom to change. The one parking space with two double rooms seems like a misstep, thereâs plenty of space to extend the driveway even by a couple of feet to allow for two cars comfortably. As the property seems more aimed at adults, it would make sense to allow for two cars, especially given how expensive the nearby parking is per day. With some will power and creative parking, we were able to just about fit two smaller cars in, but lack much space to get in/out comfortably (with the cars touching, as paying >=£10/day for a week was too much). Finally, adding a small side table in the living room would aid being able to put your drink somewhere more within easier reach to the armchair. As I say, the location and property itself is lovely, as somebody who adores penguins I was delighted to be able to so easily visit the only Kings in England. Itâs far enough from the bustle of the village that it is perfectly peaceful, while still all being walkable within the village. (If youâre planning a trip to the Mousetrap inn, you will struggle for parking!). We were provided pods for the coffee machine (luckily I knew how to use it, but there were no instructions for my fellow guest who did not, perhaps in the missing guide?) which often times youâre not. Once we had gathered the missing items (which Iâm sure would have been provided by our hosts if they had not been away), we had a lovely stay.

A wonderful family three days was spent by us at Arlington Mill.
(There were ten of us). It is an amazing building and is just right for a large family group. There is so much space that everyone was satisfied with their own en suite accommodation. We ate in on two nights, preparing huge banquets in the massive and well-equipped kitchen (two freezers and two fridges!). The Catherine Wheel Inn is a stone's throw up the road and did us proud on one evening. This mill is an amazing place and there is so much to see in the village and surrounding area. It is a delightful part of the Cotswolds. Just one or two minor gripes. When using previous rented accommodation we have usually had a TV set in the bedrooms. Arlington Mill does not, though we were probably too tired to bother, anyway! The TV in the lounge appears only to receive programmes via Sky as Freeview failed to pick up any signal. The soundbar failed to switch on and is very precariously attached to the set. I am familiar with the model and it seemed to be inverted? We tried everything to get it into action, but it seemed dead. We brought DVD's with us for the grandchildren but were unable to use them as the player was not connected to the set and the leads appeared to be missing. The heating system is quite complex and not to be messed with! The timer appeared to be incorrectly set though we were frightened to fiddle with it and left it well alone! In leaving it as it was the heating seemed to come on very late in the evening and hardly at all in the morning when we were getting up. The master bedroom, however, was always warm. As a result, we had to purchase heaps of logs and used the very efficient log burner to heat the dinning and associated lounge area where we spent most of our time. These are only minor gripes about a holiday let which is second to none. It certainly has the 'wow factor' and is well worth the money. Congratulations to the owners who have done a great restoration job on what is a wonderful old building of some significance.

The cottage was lovely in lots of respects , as described on the listing .
Lovely location great local pub , The Great Western with a great landlord and lovely food . Local shop that's very convenient too . Beds really comfy all well appointed as a home . Overall lovely and would recommend. Only a few niggles and would prefer to have a direct convo than put public, as only niggles and didn't massively affect our stay . Parking- this isn't ideal . We arrived after a long journey in the rain and could not get anywhere near the cottage . We had to park ages away which if you are not fit to be lugging your stuff then this is a deal breaker . This didn't get any better as we stayed there . Could you not at least get a cone for day of arrival ? And the day of leaving. Few maintenance things , the toilet handle is loose and needs fixing as this pinches your hand . The toilet seat is also loose and needs securing . The bathroom is lovely and shower great . The stairs altho mentioned as steep , they are very steep and the hessian carpet a little slippy on them in socks - might need a look at . The heating was insane while we were there , and not being able to adjust was limiting . It was sooooooo hot everywhere . Even when we turned radiators off . The heating seemed to be on all night aswell . We do worry about your bills ! Only last comment was the downstairs did smell of dogs ...not sure if the previous people had dogs in and it was wet days. It wasn't a major thing but just to mention . And to mention again ,these are just niggles as the place is lovely and we had a lovely cosy time and I would definitely recommend , they are more things that may need just attending to for it to be perfect ! Thank you .

The cottage is well appointed, clean and comfortable in a great location for walks and has wonderful viewsaccross the valley, very quiet too.
However, I know others have mentioned it but the stairs to the bedrooms are very steep (a rail at the top would make it less dangerous perhaps) and be aware there are no bathroom facilities on the top bedroom floor. I was impressed with the comfortable beds, nice linen and pleasant furnishings and well stocked tea, coffee, milk, biscuits on arrival was welcome. Our main disappointment was how poorly the garden was maintained. There was the large bin next to the outside table (perhaps have a neat bin store?)Messy garden bags and a pot with dead plants on the patio which has seen better days. Given the spectacular view and the sun trap on the patio, with a little bit of care it could be wonderful.

My big concern over booking this was I was not able to get hold of Manor Cottages by phone.
This caused me anxiety as it was our base for my daughterâs wedding at Cripps Barn. It wasnât until day of our arrival that someone phoned me to say we could get in early, prior to that I did not feel reassured that we would get access. The Mill itself was perfect for our party. Plenty of room for bride to get ready etc. A comfortable, clean base, adequate facilities for rental. Did feel the initial arrival and departure time were excessive 6pm in, 10am out, which did change to 5pm in, still not great, considering amount paid. Also could have mowed the garden and provided more loo paper. Good location in a historical building/village.
