Cottage Review:
A delightful visit spending a few days in this beautifully appointed cottage. Well placed for the history and culture for those interested in art and craft being near to the \'Guild\' of silversmiths and Barn gallery to name but two. The RSC at Stratford within easy reach for the first night of King Lear with the controversial new stage. Self catering is ideal as the general store for most produce is next door but one. Avoid eating out as the restaurants are prohibitively expensive. I hope that you enjoy your stay as much as we did. Thank you to the caring owners for making this possible. |

Cottage Review:
Wonderful! We loved this cottage so much we didn't want to leave. Everything about it was great. We were very impressed with the high standard of all the fixtures and fittings, decor is lovely, it was completely spotless and provided all the things you'd expect e.g. towels, soap, iron, hairdryer. However it is the little things that really make a difference so finding milk in the fridge was a godsend as we were gasping for a cuppa! The champagne and cake on the table were wonderful as well. Sarah and Andy were really helpful - we were on honeymoon and my husband is coeliac but they were more than happy to leave us some champagne and a selection of gluten-free goodies. The location very peaceful but central, best of both worlds. If you want to go out and about it's really handy, but if you want a quiet night in with the fire roaring and snuggled up under the blanket on the very comfy sofas then it's great for that too. I loved the bath, easily spent about 2 hours a day in there! We hope to return. |

We feel it's the little extra's that make all the difference. Guests want to be able to sit & relax as soon as they've had a look around the cottage and so tea, coffee, milk & cake are essential! It was our pleasure to source the gluten free goodies for you. Please visit us again! |

Cottage Review:
Sarah and Andy Firstly congratulations on receiving your award - no doubt you are both delighted with this honour. I have an appreciation of your success as I am the immediate past Chairman of Tourism Sunshine Coast, the regional tourism body which represented the largest $3b industry a year in our region. The Honeypot will always be in our thoughts. For two years in a row we were most fortunate to stay in the cottage at Chipping Campden. After the very long flight from our Australian home, what better cottage to relax and unwind in before we enjoyed the delights and pleasures of Chipping Campden and the Cotswolds. We have been made most welcome and the exquisite furnishings and attention to the finest details were of great pleasure and set the scene for our stays. In fact we were so impressed with the Laura Ashley furnishes and linen we shipped two large parcels home after visiting the store at Stratford on Avon! The personal attention of both Sarah and Andy has also been a highlight - the welcoming baskets, the stocking up of the wood box - the replacement of the electric kettle - nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. Both Maggie and I have as well a very special reason to always remember the Honeypot. Without Maggie knowing I arranged to have our wedding vows recommitted at the Rollright Stones during our stay last year. After 48 years of being married it seemed to me the Honeypot, the Rollright Stones (one of Maggie's favourite spots) and dinner to follow at Mickleton at the Three Ways House Hotel to enjoy a lovely dinner and the Pudding Club treats was a perfect way to celebrate. Sarah and Andy shared my secret. They went to no end of trouble to assist me in organising the wonderful occasion. Especially touching was the bottle of champagne,the basket of goodies, and their best wishes that was waiting for us when we came home after our dinner. In fact we still have the white ribbon which was around the bottle and the cork at home, to remind us of Sarah and Andie's thoughts and kindness. The champagne is long gone! As you can see the Honeypot Cottage has the most precious of memories for us and the wonderful help and friendship of Sarah and Andy for our two stays will always be with us.

Cottage Review:
Our stay at the Honeypot was really superb! In the middle of the town, quiet and peaceful. We love cosines, and that's what we found! One feels really in an other world. The wood burning stove makes it complete! |

We recommended the Honeypot to all our friends here in Belgium and to our children. |

Cottage Review:
What a perfect holiday we had at the Honey Pot cottage - it really was ideallic!!! From before we even arrived, we were made to feel so welcome through the contact we received from Andy and Sarah. It was our first break away in a cottage and was unsure of how to collect the keys and other such protocols but everything was explained very clearly to us. On arrival, we were blown away by the beauty of the town and the cottage - the photos certainly do not do it justice! The cake and wine that was left for us was such a lovely gesture and very much appreciated. In fact, the attention to detail throughout the cottage is phenomenal. My husband and I had gone to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and it was the most romantic and perfect place to do so ... our best holiday ever!!! We spent many a night curled up on the sofa with the log burner on and Sarah came to re-fill the logs for us. The equipment in the kitchen was extremely handy and meant we could spend some nights in and some nights, we ate out in the town. I absolutely loved the bath - it is soooooo relaxing! The bedrooms were a great size and were so pretty. These, along with the little hearts and other such details made it feel homely but also very luxurious and in turn, very relaxing. The information pack was very handy and helped us plan a few days out and some lovely nights out. Andy and Sarah have produced a wonderful cottage which is just oh so perfect!!! Thank you for going to so much trouble to make our stay so wonderful. |

A delightful cottage with loads of character and attention to detail - we can only suggest _ that The Honeypot is available next time we'd like to book. Everything was perfect in every detail, and the cottage was charming, comfortable & cosy. It was so kind of you to leave provisions ~ especially the cake and wine! Such o lovely gesture! We can't wait to book again with you, Andy & Sarah - but if word gets around, how great The Honeypot is. . . . we'll have to book soon! Many, many thanks to you both. |

Thank you so much for a lovely few days. The cake & bubbly were a lovely touch, that cake was wonderful. It's a nice touch that you have a few condiments in the cupboard. The furnishings are lovely quality, where did you get the setees & stone for the floors? I want the same ones, so comfy & i love the bath too! Thanks for a great stay in your lovely cottage. |

'The air fresheners made everything smell. The bedclothes had absorbed the smell, making sleep impossible. '
~ We changed the air fresheners in the bedroom & learnt not to use that fragrance again! |
