Glen cottage location was perfect

We arrived on Wednesday evening to the sound of church bells ringing — it was absolutely magical. The cottage was beautiful and very spacious, with comfy beds and an idyllic location. The village itself is lovely, with a great community shop.

My review

Lovely cottage in idyllic location. Walks from the door! Walk across the road down the footpath by the church, flowers everywhere, and find the amazing community shop for a coffee or that thing you forgot to bring - friendly volunteers. Cottage very comfy but as a 6ft2in person have to mind your head on the ancient beams. Lovely back garden with 2 seating areas

A little piece of tranquility in a beautiful location

If you’re looking for a cosy yet surprisingly spacious, warm and peaceful place to properly switch off, this is it. The cottage has real character with that classic Cotswold feel, but still gives you all the comfort you need to relax straight away. Set in a beautiful village, it strikes the perfect balance, close enough to everything you need, but tucked away enough to feel calm and quiet. The surroundings are stunning, with great walks on the doorstep and lovely local pubs nearby. It genuinely felt like a home from home (just better), and we loved our time there. We’ll definitely be back.

Lovely Cottage in a beautiful village

We had a lovely stay in the Glen, it was perfect for our small family and dog with a sunny enclosed garden and kitchen dining area. The village was beautiful and worth a visit in its own right; although living there gives you views and a perspective you perhaps wouldn’t get from a short visit.

A cosy, character filled Cotswolds cottage

We stayed at this lovely cottage to celebrate my mum’s 80th birthday, with four adults and our Labrador, and it was perfect for a special family break. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very cosy and full of original features. The log fire in the front room made it especially welcoming. The location was fantastic, with great local pubs nearby and a community shop close by for essentials. It really had that classic Cotswolds feel. My mum had a wonderful birthday and we all felt completely at home. We would happily recommend this cottage and would love to return.

Perfect cosy retreat

The Glen was perfect for our friends get together. It was cosy and had everything we needed. The manager was easy to communicate with. It's a very peaceful village with a lovely pub for food (The Howard Arms). It's a great spot to explore the Cotswolds from.

Lovely cottage - ideal base for exploring the Cotswolds

Great cottage as a base for exploring the Cotswolds. Very comfortable & well equipped. As we were blessed with good weather we made the most of the sitting areas outside. Lovely village with community shop & 2 pubs. We went walking everyday, sometimes from the cottage and other times driving to explore further afield.

The Glen was a fabulous place to stay. Well kitted out with everything you might need. We loved the comfy beds and cosy sitting room with open fire and logs provided. Great local walks for our dogs and friendly pubs within a short walk of the cottage. We will be back

Fantastic Holiday Cottage

We stayed at The Glen last week and had a brilliant time. It was roomy, quiet, modern and we wanted for nothing. Everything you might need was available within the cottage. We had our 2 dogs and the garden was perfect as enclosed due to the side gates. We will definitely be back

Glen Ilmington

Nice traditional cottage in excellent location. Kitchen has all you require and more. Comfy beds. Water pressure in shower was a tad hit and miss. Could of been a bit cleaner when you looked closely Beds/Furniture needed moving and cleaning behind. Garden had fence missing so if staying with dogs be careful.Pictures of garden not as Stay cotswold web pictures clearly work had been done removing alot of shrubs/trees. However an excellent location in a lovely village walk from front door access to public footpath from garden. Pop in Red Lion for good value lunch menu and Monday Pizza. Had a lovely stay.Would stay again.

A beautiful cottage in the heart of the Cotswolds

Five of us recently stayed at The Glen for a little reunion of uni friends and it was absolutely perfect. The village of Ilmington is lovely in itself and is only a short drive from the larger villages of Chipping Campden and Broadway. The cottage was extremely well equipped, very cosy and had lots of lovely character. The rooms were comfy and we were lucky enough to have decent weather to be able to enjoy the lovely garden. I will absolutely stay here again if I find myself in this neck of the woods!

A nice vacation in a very cute cottage

We enjoyed our stay at The Glen very much. Very lovely cottage and also dog friendly which was important for us. Very nice surrounding, sweet little village. We would like to make a small comment regarding the directions, as we only found the cottage with the help of the local residents. It is in not directly located at the street so not possible to find it at once.

Great location and cottage

We had a lovely weekend at The Glen. The cottage is spacious, warm and comfortable including the beds. Its location in the pretty Ilmington village with two great pubs and country walks was perfect. Where it mattered was clean, however we felt the cottage could do with a deep clean including the cooker. We also would have preferred an earlier check in, arriving at 5pm in heavy traffic and darkness wasn’t ideal. The WiFi and phone reception was poor. The positives however definitely outweighed the few negatives so we would love to return to this lovely cottage.

Chocolate box charm

A group of school friends now in our late 60s rented for a week. The house was charming, well appointed and had everything we needed. Our neighbour (shared path) was gracious and friendly. The village, pubs, and community cafe were excellent, friendly and in a little English idyll. Would recommend.
