It's very comfortable, with high quality furnishings. Very conveniently situated to explore the Cotswolds. Had everything we needed for an enjoyable family get-together.

Bedrooms were very comfortable and the facilities were very good. Location was great with two pubs within walking distance which was perfect. Parking is very tight but we parked in the road opposite without any difficulty. Highly recommend ##### Colin H.

The cottage was very suitable for us and the hot tub was used a lot. The layout is really good with plenty of room. The fourth bedroom is quite tight when the (uncomfortable) sofa is up. No parking really as on a main road but this did not cause a problem as the pub was happy to take two cars. All in all a great stay.

Perfect for family get-together to celebrate a big birthday. Our dogs too were very welcomed including a luxurious dog bed! Bedrooms are all excellent with very comfy beds. The outside space is fabulous and although we visited in November, we could imagine the bifold doors open to the patio with its fire pit, outside table and hot tub. Ideal for walking in the Cotswolds or visiting the cute villages. Loads of good pubs around: we would recommend The Lamb Inn in Shipton, The Hare at Milton, and the Royal Oak in Burford (especially for the pies!). ##### Lynn Brow This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fiona M. 24 Feb 2025 #### Charming Cottage Stay - Boutique Quality at a Great Price We’ve always stayed with Boutique Retreats when traveling in the UK, and this cottage is on par with them at a fraction of the price. Although there were only three of us and a small dog, we found it useful to close off the entrance sitting room and the bedroom with the nook. Despite being on a busy junction, we hardly noticed any traffic noise. Unfortunately, we couldn’t fit our Range Rover in the driveway—it’s quite tight—but we were able to park out front to unload and then found a space on the little green opposite the road, where there was always availability. Once inside, the cottage did not disappoint. Just like the photos, it was beautifully presented, warm, and thoughtfully designed. The beds were really comfy, and we mainly used the little sitting room to watch TV. The barn-style door in the utility room lets in a draft, so we’d recommend keeping it shut. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need for cooking and plenty of options to choose from. The microwave doesn’t work properly, but hey, we made popcorn on the hob instead! The location is perfect, with a lovely walk just up the road—a 10-minute stroll to Wychwood Wild Park. We initially missed it, but to find it, head past Shipton Court (an incredible sight on your left), continue along the road, and you’ll see the gates on the right. ##### Fiona M.

Very comfortable and very well appointed and in a fabulous location and I would definitely stay there again. A couple of things though which could be improved upon. I did try to get hold of the property manager by messenger and email to ask various questions before our stay but no one responded which was frustrating. One of the questions was about the quantity of wood provided for the wood burning stoves as I knew we would be using them. There are three stoves and should have been enough logs for each to get going according to the blurb but there were in fact only three logs which actually looked like they’d already been partly used. This is a premium property and as such it would be a good idea and probably wouldn’t cost a great deal for there to be a supply of logs in a store to the rear of the property. This would be great for people staying over the winter months and save traipsing to the garage especially if you were without a car like us. Apart from that a fabulous cottage.

It’s a great size and in a village with a couple of lovely pubs to eat in. The decoration and quality of accommodation was great and the property inside was very clean and well maintained. The three lounges were a nice bonus as the children had their own games room/lounging room. It’s well located and close to plenty of other Cotswolds villages and attractions. It’s a shame the pub next door wasn’t serving food at all while we were there as it looked lovely! Parking is up the side of the house and behind a large gate which is good, but it’s quite a narrow driveway if you have a big car. The outside space was nice - the lawn area hadn’t been mowed which made clearing up after the dogs trickier, but presumably this would be in the summer. One small disappointment was that the hot tub area hadn’t been cleaned since the previous use and there was food on the floor around it. Having reported this, a company arrived to clean the following day however. We thought the standard of accommodation was good value for money, however it was a shame that when we asked for the starter logs we were told that we weren’t entitled to them as it was now April. The website noted logs would be provided October to April but evidently they mean October through March. A small detail but for the cost of the property, ambiguous wording on the website and the fact that the hot tub area hadn’t been cleaned, a few logs as a gesture would have been appreciated. No welcome hamper either which was a surprise for a high quality property like this (although some milk was provided and a few biscuits). Perhaps we have just been spoilt in previous properties however. These are minor things however, and overall it was lovely: we would recommend this property and would return, but I think some extra touches would make it 5/5 value for money and customer service. ##### Richard E.

The decor was absolutely breathtaking and kitchen well equipped. We were even left the basics to get a started for our stay which was much appreciated. We had a question in regards to the gate and called the number given and the issue was rectified immediately. You may have seen that some reviews state that it can be a bit noisy due to being on the main road, but this did not bother us in the slightest, plus earplugs were provided in each bedroom! The only thing I would recommend is not using the driveway and parking space as it is very tight to get into and get out of. However, there is ample parking in the village which is free. We will definitely be back and would throughly recommend Stay Cotswolds.

The cottage was spotless, modern and had a great outside area. This is the perfect place for large families or groups of friends to rent. Very easy to get to surrounding areas by car. Would definitely recommend!

Shaven cottage is a beautiful property, very well equipped in a great location. When we arrived Storm Eunice was in full force and we had no power and no heating until mid morning the following day. The owners only leave 2 logs for the wood burner, despite there being a full log store outside so this didn’t help. Also there were no candles available as a back up. We were disappointed to not receive any communication at all to check we were okay. We did call the property managers who were clearly stretched and pointed us in the direction of a Sainsburys 6 miles away to buy candles and a garage en route that sold logs. I think the owners certainly need to reconsider the log policy. The narrow drive is an issue and you need to be brave to use it, but more importantly I think guests with young children /pets need to be aware that the cottage front door opens onto a busy road so care is needed when leaving the property. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would return and hope our feedback is helpful to improve the stay for future guests. ##### Sharon W.

Three wood burning stoves, excellent, a must for any Christmas house. It did take a little convincing though, as to how Father Christmas got down the chimney. We were 7 adults and three children under 5 , Shaven cottage worked very well for us . Good size rooms , nicely decorated, plenty of space for all to eat , play or disappear for a quiet moment. The Swan only a short walk away where we had an excellent Christmas Eve lunch.The little local park with the zip wire also proved very popular with the little ones and big ones ! As was the hot tub every morning and evening for 7 days. We had a few minor issues during our stay that were taken on board and very quickly sorted out by Chris and Daniel. Especially after we had left , Chris went beyond the call of duty searching out and retrieving several items, we inevitably left behind. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We definitely would like to go back to Shaven cottage, if they will have us that is. Thank you for helping us to make more,Happy family memories . ##### Loraine S.

Driveway is a little bit tight but fine once you're in! Good location and close to a super pub. Thanks for all help and assistance. ##### Philip F.

We have just had the most wonderful stay at Shaven Cottage for my 60th! This cottage is awesome. Every room is decorated to the highest standard. It felt like we were in a brand new place. It has everything you need and the garden with the hot tub and fire pit were just the icing on the cake. There are some lovely pubs within walking distance and some beautiful villages a short drive away such as Bourton on the Water. I have stayed in numerous houses/cottages over the years and this one is by far the best! We will definitely return. Thank you! ##### Alison R.

The cottage is beautiful, it had everything we needed for a perfect weekend with family. It’s a great location too. The owners were also fantastic at sorting out a problem we had (of my own making nothing to do with them!) and could not have been more response and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend! ##### Alison R.
