The cottage is very well equipt; apart from the bed in the master bedroom which we felt being a bit too soft, nothing to complain. Lilly, the owner was very supportive and helpful. A short help message regarding WiFi connectivity had been immediately responded and remotely solved. Thanks for that! In summary: This cottage offers everything you need to spend your holidays! ##### Jan-Peter S.

The cottage is still as lovely as ever and luckily this time we had great weather so we were able to use the garden, lovely to sit on the patio with a glass of wine in the evening. The cottage is like a home from home and has everything you could want, were sad to leave but hope to return again in the future. ### 10/10 Excellent #### william r. 18 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect spot Perfect little cottage with all the necessities and more.

We would have no hesitation in returning…hopefully soon!

The cottage is like home from home and helped me with my treatment. In the ideal location with amazing facilities, coffee shops, pub and shop all within 5 mins walk of the cottage, plus many lovely walks in the area. I also had a wonderful weekend exploring in the middle of treatment and it’s such a beautiful area with so much to do. I can’t recommend this cottage any more highly. Superb.

Well positioned comfortable place to stay. Very well equipped and traditionally furnished. Can easily accommodate 3 people. Within easy reach of Cotswolds attractions. Good places to eat out within Sherston. Would certainly make a return visit This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### G H. 6 May 2025 #### Great location, but a few thoughtful bits would make a big difference. Great location, lovely village, neighbours friendly & sweet. A few thoughtful additions would make a big difference. Namely cushions for the outdoor furniture (quite uncomfortable without them) and a light by front door, it’s very difficult to see the numbers on the key safe when it’s gloomy or dark. We found the pillows very soft, but of course this might suit some folk, personal preference! ##### G H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah S. 22 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An Enchanting Cottage. Beautiful charming cottage with all the modern needs. Washer/Dryer, dishwasher, great coffee maker, wonderful shower and bath. Breathe taking views and a wonderful garden. The town was small but charming, great pub, cafes and little shop for food. I will definitely be renting it again. ##### Deborah S.

We found what we expected according the description and felt comfortable in kitchen and garden. Bedrooms were large and bright. We really relaxed by cruising through the Cotswolds and hiking near Sherston. Neighborhood is quiet and inviting, Sherston offers more than other villages of this size (inn, cafés, super market). This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 31 Aug 2023 #### Fabulous Cottage, would definitely recommend The cottage was beautifully decorated, it has everything you need. Lovely bed linen and comfortable bed, we had a wonderful break, the only issue was the cleanliness, lots of cobwebs and spiders in most corners and we found wood lice along the skirting boards. Given we couldn’t access the cottage until 5pm that’s long enough to thoroughly clean the place. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca M. 21 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Delightful cottage, Delightful village Very comfortable and well equipped cottage. Quality fixtures and fittings. Divine bed. Everything spotless. Parking no issue whatsoever, parking 50yds from the cottage.

The cottage was very tastefully decorated, with many nice little touches, and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the main bedroom had a nice view of the back garden and picturesque landscape beyond it. We didn't use the garden much but it was a peaceful place to sit and watch the lavender grow. We enjoyed walks around Sherston, usually ending up in the local pub (The Rattlebones) which is a great spot to have a pint, meet locals and other tourists, and they do great pizza. In the village there is also a small co-op grocery shop which is surprisingly well stocked. The cottage kitchen has everything needed to prepare and have meals, which is also nice. Communications with the owner were very pleasant and timely. We didn't have any problems other than that we were sad to leave. We would definitely come back to the Lilly Bee when we are next in the Cotwsolds. ##### John A.

A real home from home. The parking arrangements are absolutely fine, there’s always space. Sherston is a great little community, it is very convenient having a shop and several eateries within easy walking distance. And the residents are very friendly. We visited Tetbury, Cirencester and westonbirt, they are all within easy reach. Any questions regarding the cottage were dealt with quickly and efficiently and in a friendly manner. Wow would definitely stay again. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard O. 31 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Cotswold Cottage! We wanted a cosy Cotswold cottage for an easy half-term holiday and Lilly Bee Cottage delivered perfectly. The location just off Sherston high street is ideal, with easy parking and a short walk up the High Street to The Angle cafe, the local COOP and The RattleBone pub ... pretty much everything you'll need. There's a well-equipped playground a short walk away and lots of local walks. The house is gorgeous and ideal for a short break - our daughter loved the elegant French bed in the small bedroom and we enjoyed waking up to views over the fields from the back of the house. The kitchen is well-equipped (just lacking a potato masher) and the garden is lovely. Highly recommended! ##### Richard O.

It was beautifully furnished with style. We loved everything about it. The kitchen facilities had a plentiful supply of crockery and appliances, a real home from home. My friend enjoyed a soak in the deep freestanding bath and the shower was great. Our beds were very comfortable with wonderful bed linen. The cottage is in a wonderful village, friendly with good facilities. We went to the Angel Cafe ( delicious) The Rattlebone Inn ( amazing Sunday lunch) and great walks. We visited Tetbury and experienced a lovely town, easy parking, dog friendly welcoming shops and amazing cafes and hotel food. Malmesbury was great too. We would highly recommend Stay Cotswold too, with easy and efficient booking process. ##### Karen L. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 15 Jul 2024 #### Idyllic Stay at Lilly Bee Cottage We stayed at Lilly Bee Cottage for four nights and our only regret was that we couldn't have stayed longer. The cottage is beautiful, the photos don't do it justice. It is so tastefully decorated with lovely little touches everywhere and the garden (unfortunately we couldn't use it much because of the weather) has two lovely seating areas with relaxing views over the countryside. The village of Sherston is very quaint with a Co-Op, Post Office, The Rattlebone Inn, which serves very good food and a great coffee shop The Angel just a short walk from the cottage. Parking can be a bit tricky but we always managed to get a spot on the main street close to the cottage. We couldn't recommend the Lilly Bee enough, it was so cosy that most nights we ate at home because we looked forward to coming back to the cottage in the evening. We hope to return to Lilly Bee again.

It provided a great base for a visit to the Cotswolds. Our only slight disappointment was that we had an issue with the lock on the front door which resulted in us having to climb out of one of the windows. These things happen- but we were surprised when the property manager said the issue started with the previous guests. It was a miss not to communicate the issue with us.

We had a wonderful stay at Lilly Bee Cottage, the owners have lovingly restored this 17th century cottage with such charm & attention to detail. From the moment we walked in we started to unwind, we had the most wonderful, relaxing stay was all over far too quickly for our liking! My only criticism is the owners have been let down by the cleaning team. The place needed a good dust - the coffee tables, bedside tables and kitchen table had clearly not been hadn't been touched since the previous guests and there were cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. The bedsheets and towels however were clean and fresh. ##### Anne-Michele B.

The booking process was simple and instructions on how to gain access etc were sent promptly. We had a small issue (caused by ourselves) for which I had to contact the owner. She responded immediately and was extremely helpful and accommodating. We had a lovely weekend - the location is excellent for dog walking, with plenty of beautiful walks right on the doorstep, as well as being right near a local shop and pub. The garden was gorgeous, with beautiful views and we particularly enjoyed sitting on the decking area with a drink in the evening. The only slight disadvantage to us were that the garden walls were quite low, so we had to keep an eye on the dog to ensure he didn't jump it - just something to be aware of if you have a dog that might try to do this! Overall the cottage was spotless and well equipped. We didn't find the BBQ but then it does say this is available during the summer and it was only the start of May. This would have been nice to have though as we had lovely weather. ##### Nicky B.

When we arrived the outside light wasn’t working so couldn’t see to use the key safe. Then no logs (or wood of any sort) for the log burner, ie no promised starter kit other than firefighters & matches (no use without wood) & welcome pack said the log burner was best form of heating for the house. Not a good start especially when arriving in the cold & dark after a long, tiring journey. The light over the cooker wasn’t working either. Some of the heating controls didn’t seem to work, or we weren’t using them correctly, in which case the instructions were not very clear - we thought we were following the guidance.

We loved the decor, lovely pieces of art and some quirky ornaments, someone with a good eye has decorated and added lovely stylish touches. Overall we found the facilities to be very good, the beds are comfy and the shower is great, if more than one showering at night or running a bath you will need to 'boost' the hot water, this is easily done and instructions are provided. We couldn't get the NEFF hob to work unfortunately and there were no instructions provided, I think it would be helpful to provide instruction manuals for appliances. The oven worked with no problems, as did the microwave and coffee machine. We did not need to use any other appliances as we only stayed for a week. The garden is a little sun trap with great views. It was quiet in the village during the night and parking was easily found every day in the High Street. We enjoyed the food in The Rattlebone Inn and the The Old Royal Ship in Luckington. Very handy to have a well stocked Co-op shop in the village. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cottage. ##### Sandra B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The New French Partridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northampton-Hotels-The-New-French-Partridge.h2288818.Hotel-Information) > > [Pettifers Freehouse Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malmesbury-Hotels-Pettifers-Freehouse-Hotel.h41539.Hotel-Information) > > [Bredbury Hall by Accor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockport-Hotels-Bredbury-Hall.h64706.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Colchester.h14251.Hotel-Information) > > [Ox Hotel Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Milton-Manchester-Hotel.h18787802.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Wheatsheaf, Baslow by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-Wheatsheaf.h12323109.Hotel-Information) > > [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > > [Fisherman's Cot, Tiverton by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tiverton-Hotels-Fishermans-Cot.h11900175.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > > [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > > [Wychnor Park Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Wychnor-Park-Country-Club.h1927715.Hotel-Information) > > [Caverswall Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Caverswall-Castle.h23959535.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > > [Etrop Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Etrop-Grange.h49116.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bowman by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nottingham-Hotels-The-Bowman.h46162199.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest Pines Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brigg-Hotels-Forest-Pines-Spa-Golf-Resort.h461512.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Cherry Park Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Cherry-Park-Hall.h15952872.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeside Lodge with 6 berth hot tub and private fishing peg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Delightful-Lakeside-Lodge-With-Hot-Tub-Private-Fishing-Peg-With-Stunning-View.h27123912.Hotel-Information) > > [Northlands Farm & Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Northlands-Farm-Lakes-Premium-Chalet-1.h37797465.Hotel-Information) > > [Urban Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Urban-Beach-Hotel.h2814369.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > > [Makeney Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belper-Hotels-Makeney-Hall-Hotel.h1206529.Hotel-Information) ---
