Oh what a disappointment!
What was shown in the information as a relatively bright and sunny cottage turned out to be a dark and poorly maintained building. Being surrounded by other buildings little natural light entered the lower rooms and we had to have the lights on all the time. For us the worst thing we discovered was the erratic heating with a controller that was not working. The radiator in the double room was out of action completely. As for the king bed room, it was like an oven, and the bed should have been replaced long ago. There is nothing worse than sleeping on a worn mattress. The promised log for the fire were absence. The instructions for use of the television were totally inaccurate as it had to be turned on at the back, not by the controls. We did contact the agent on the Sunday of our holiday and they visited on the Monday but apart from a delivery of logs there was nothing that could be done during our visit. There was also the dirty oven and the mould on the shower tray. I think what made us laugh, and not for a good reason, was the comment by the owner that dog should not use the garden as a toilet, this from a supposedly "dog friendly" cottage ! Pauline Tillett

The accommodation was adequate in most respects but not as good as other other 4 ticks Sykes cottages we have experienced.
It's not " excellent standard throughout". The double bed was very comfortable and the shower was excellent. But the spacious bathroom lacks the facility to hang two bath towels to dry, the shower screen seal was broken, and the bottom 9 inches or so of the light pull string was an unpleasantly dirty brown. The kitchen equipment is rather sparse, eg no microwaveable pans/dishes, and when we arrived the oven and baking trays were unusably filthy. The owner apologised and cleaned it but it's disappointing that we had to point it out. There is a very large sideboard in the kitchen but it was full of miscellaneous stuff, such as cardboard boxes in which had once contained wine glasses, and was no use to us. The patio would indeed be "spacious" if the large rotted wooden bench and the pile of stones were removed, the shrubs cut back and the weeds pulled out. This is the place where it is most obvious that the photos on Sykes' site were taken some considerable time ago the jumble under the staircase is another

The location was perfect.
Upstairs was clean with fresh bedding and towels, although there was a broken bedside lamp that had just been left on the floor. The biggest disappointment was the kitchen. Cupboard doors were hanging off or didnât close properly, the drawers did not fit and dropped each time you opened them. We appreciate the property is old and has character but donât expect to have to wash every utensil or item of crockery before it can be used, because it is dirty. We were asked to leave the property as we found it, I believe we left it in a better state. This is the first holiday cottage I have stayed in that didnât have any sort of welcome pack, such as milk and a few tea bags or coffee. There was no mention in the details about parking, some advice or guidance would have been useful. Overall very disappointed with Carters Cottage and Sykes.

The property is stylish and the fittings are of good quality with lots of space.
Lots of car parking. However, although the kitchen and bathrooms were clean the floors throughout were extremely dusty, lots of cobwebs around. Outside the property needs attention particularly the drive and courtyard which is overgrown with weeds and does not give a good impression. The refuse bins were overflowing and would attract vermin. There is a bad drain smell, worst in the bathroom of bedroom two. The utility room is totally cluttered, it looks like people have left things, eg hiking boots. We feel that as a family property there should be a highchair and cot available, there is plenty of space to store. Finally, the reading material needs checking the explicit âMemoirs of a porn starâ is not appropriate for a family property! It could be beautiful, however, it did seem a little unloved.

We had a lovely week in Carterâs Cottage.
Quaint and cosy and easily within reach of all that Stow has to offer. Although there is no dedicated parking, we could always find a nearby spot at either end of Shepherdâs Row. The cottage is really comfortable with a well equipped kitchen but a few more knives and ovenproof dishes would have been useful. Stow is ideally placed for exploring the Cotswolds and we went to just about everywhere. I would recommend Bourton-on-the-Water - so pretty and Moreton In Marsh, especially on a Tuesday when there is a great market. We went to the Kingâs Arms and The Sheep for evening meals, both dog friendly and we used the Indian Takeaway and Greedyâs fish and chips, both highly recommended. All in all a great week and the weather was kind to us too. A bonus in early February.
