Great Stay

We loved everything about this property, the village location and the very easy access to lovely Cotswold locations. A wonderful week away which we do as three couples each year in May. The local community shop/cafe is fabulous and the property owner was very friendly and helpful.

A wonderfully comfortable stay in this lovely village.

What a special Cotswolds property in this pretty and welcoming village. High spec, with every need thought about and catered for. Beautiful garden. We all enjoyed our time here at this exceptional property and would happily rebook. Hopefully avoid the stormy weather next time but the wood-burning stove made it cosy and comfortable. Excellent communication from the outset.

Delightful cottage

Gardners Cottage was a perfect setting for our long weekend stay with friends and two dogs. The accommodation is five star and the village of Ilmington has two excellent pubs within walking distance. There is a lovely stroll around the village and the community café and shop are wonderful facilities. Lots to do close at hand for the more adventurous but we were happy to enjoy the cottage and the garden. Great service when a swarm of bees arrived and the team sorted everything out quickly.

An ideal holiday home in a picture-perfect setting.

We were looking for a holiday home for a long weekend in the Cotswolds for four school friends (plus husbands). What a wonderful find Gardners Cottage turned out to be! The property was clean, comfortable & had everything we needed. Ilmington itself is a beautiful village, with a friendly & well stocked community shop. We had lovely meals in the village pubs (the Red Lion & Howard Arms), both of which which are conveniently within walking distance of the house. We explored the gardens at HIdcote & enjoyed walks along local footpaths, taking in the wonderful views. Thank you for enabling us to have a such a great reunion.

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.
