4 night family break at Gardners Cottage
Beautifully renovated cottage in an ideal location. Bedrooms all very comfortable and the kitchen was a perfect social space for our family reunion. The village shop and cafe just a short walk away are well worth a visit. Highly recommended - hope to book again in the future.

Beautiful!
This is an absolutely beautiful cottage in a beautiful village. The large kitchen was a wonderful place for all 6 of us to gather. Everyone had plenty of room to spread out too in the comfortable bedrooms and well appointed bathrooms. We loved the useful boot/utility room. We arrived in the dark and the view of the village when we awoke the next morning was a wonderful surprise. We visited the lovely and well stocked village shop and had delicious cake and coffee in the cafe.

Idyllic
Perfect house, perfect location. One small change (for our family) would be somewhere for all of us to be able to sit and watch a film together, snug area not quite big enough for us but this is personal preference

Absolutely gorgeous...
Gardners Cottage is beautiful. So much thought has gone in to making it a comfortable, homely, spacious and welcoming holiday 'home' (which is how it felt). We relaxed into it straight away. The decor and furnishings are stylish and tasteful. All the bedrooms/bathrooms are top quality, and every where spotless. We really enjoyed our short stay there. As a family, we know Ilmington well (a very special village, one of the best). With the combination of the two, you could not fail to have a very lovely holiday. I shall certainly be booking again.

Just perfect!
Stayed in Gardners with our family, 4 adults and 4 children. The set up of rooms was perfect…as was the standard of the whole cottage. The shop around the corner was very convenient and the walks around the area were lovely. We would definately stay there again….looking for suitable dates already!

Fabulous stay
We had a wonderful stay at Gardners Cottage! There was plenty of space for all 7 adults, 1 baby and dog. The cottage is beautiful and it was nice to be able to learn about its history. All appliances and furnishings are top notch. We had great weather so were able to make use of the stunning garden and BBQ. The hosts were so welcoming and always very quick at responding to our messages. Thank you for a fabulous holiday, we will definitely be back!

Beautiful Property
Immaculately presented property, perfectly blending the old with the new. Situated in a lovely garden that was a pleasure to sit in or just admire from inside the property. A beautiful village location with two lovely pubs, within 10 minutes walking distance. Excellent community shop, surprisingly well stocked, with a cafe and fresh morning pastries. We have already recommended the property to friends and hope to make a return visit in the future.

Fabulous house 5*
We are a group of 7 friends who were celebrating our annual weekend away together and chose Gardners Cottage for its location, facilities and its attractive presentation on the website. We were all delighted that it exceeded our expectations. The house has been renovated and refurbished to the highest standards and everything we needed was provided. The owner and his son made themselves known to us, to be contacted in case of any problems - pleased to say there weren’t any. We have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful property and would definitely stay there again if visiting the area.

Beautiful Cottage in a lovely rural location
We stayed here at the end of April/beginning of May. The cottage is in a beautuful rural location at the edge of the village. Very well equipped and beautifully furnished. The beds were very comfortable. We got the wood burner going one evening as it was a little cold downstairs. Very cosy. We visited the local shop and both pubs (for meals). Highly recommended. Would love to stay here again.

Gardeners Cottage
I cannot begin to express just how wonderful and special Gardeners Cottage is. There was plenty of space and a real cooks kitchen as well as several different seating areas. There was a very high standard of decor, comfort and quality of amenities. The house was immaculately clean when we arrived and very well equipped with everything we could have wanted. It was the perfect stay for us, planning to come back very soon. Thank you so much for opening your amazing house to us.

Incredible country getaway
We had the most wonderful stay at Gardner’s Cottage. The home was absolutely incredible - it was well equipped with everything you could possibly need and well suited for larger groups. Each bedroom felt private but the property had excellent living and dining areas for us all to come together to share meals and hang out during the day. The interior decor and garden was beautiful. We had a delicious roast at the Red Lion which was a short walk away from the property. The hosts communicated very well. We’d 100% recommend to others and hope to come back again soon!

Beautiful cottage in the perfect location
We were a party of four couples with a small dog and Gardener’s Cottage couldn’t have been more perfect, with four beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms, we all had our own space. The wonderfully spacious, light, modern and well equipped kitchen, and dining area allowed us to easily hang out together and socialise. And Gardener’s Cottage certainly doesn’t fail to deliver when it comes to its name - its garden is simply delightful. Ilmington is the quintessential Cotswold village, close to bigger towns and villages of interest, with plenty of walks on the doorstep, a very well stocked village community shop, and two pubs, including the highly commended Howard Arms. Altogether, we had a wonderful weekend in the very best accommodation and location, Thank you.

Cotswold family break
This was a perfect cottage for our family get together. We are all over sixty so four bedrooms and four bathrooms was great and so no need to share. The bedrooms were very comfortable, generous sized beds good bed linen and fluffy thick towels. The showers were good with plenty of hot water. The kitchen was well equipped we would have liked a colander and my brother a small washing up bowl for glasses but generously and thoughtfully equipped. The outlook onto the garden was light and airy so though it was rainy at times we had a lovely view and additional seating to sit and read was great. In fact we used the kitchen in this way more than the snug. The parking at the cottage was good yes we could get 4 vehicles in but a bit of a squeeze but again an electric charging point was a great addition. This is an excellent venue for a break in the Cotswolds, not far to Moreton in the Marsh, Burford and Stratford and great local walks too. I think for grown up family get togethers or friends meeting up for a weekend away this is a lovely lovely place to stay and would definitely return.
