Great for a family

The house is lovely great position . Kitchen really well equipped and good area for eating. Lovely to have a wood burner . Bedrooms are a good size . The downside is only one shower and a hand held shower head with bath . Also the pillows are terrible lucky I brought my own . The sheets have definitely seen better days . So pillows and sheets need replacing they are very old . We did enjoy our stay and would go back if the shower situation and linen and pillows were replaced.

The Old Post Office

The Cottage in Ilminster was a specious ;well equipped and maintained house. We were seven adults with one child and the house accommodated us easily. There was sufficient crockery etc. not to have to wash up by hand . The showers were a nuisance . The one in the upper bathroom either froze or scalded you . The only other shower was en suite and thus difficult for the other five adults who had to wait to use it . My daughter in law left more accurate details of the shower problems (one also leaked a little) in each bathroom. All in all I would recommend it to friends .

Beautiful & the perfect stay!

I went away for my birthday for a wholesome weekend with 7 other school friends. The house was gorgeous , plenty of space for everyone and a great space for dinners and games by the fire with the big comfy sofas! We were also a short 1 min walk to The Howard Arms for a lovely dinner and Saturday night treat. There are also some lovely easy walks to do from AllTrails, and it’s a short drive to lovely spots like Bouton on the water. Overall we had an epic stay - not enough sun to enjoy the garden or balcony. The cake and milk on arrival + tea and coffee was a lovely touch. My only improvements would be a bigger and better front door matt & having more showers - there was only one, as most bathrooms had a Bath! Thank you so much. Would come back in a heartbeat

Family New Years break

The house is beautifully decorated and furnished. It was well equipped with everything we needed. Spacious enough for our family of 8. The location was great and we had a lovely meal at the nearby Howard Arms. The community shop was so handy and the staff we so welcoming.

Lounge furniture

I found the lounge furniture uncomfortable because I have a bad back. Some more upright alternatives would have been preferable. If the family had been staying for longer another shower would have been helpful. Generally we were all very happy with the property.

Fabulous cottage for a lowkey girls weekend

The cotttage was beautiful and very well equipped. The space was huge and perfect for 8 friends sharing. Some minor grievances: - Parking arrangements were slightly annoying - you are advised not to park in front of the neighbours houses but there is nothing to stop someone from parking in front of your home (which someone did for the whole time we stayed). The car park we were advised to park in was also full when we arrived. - The house would benefit from another shower as we all had to use the one in the master bedroom. - The bed in the master bedroom was extremely creaky too and impacted quality of sleep.

Family Do

Three generations of our family spent a wonderful long weekend at the Old Post Office. The accommodation was spacious, comfortable and well equipped with a great outdoor space where we enjoyed a BBQ. A home from home which was very easy to relax in. The village was peaceful and charming with 2 very good pubs ( with great beer gardens) and a shop which offered a good choice and great service. Sunday lunch was particularly good at The Howard Arms. We were spoilt for choice of places to visit and fitted in lots of great activities and sites to suit all generations without too much travelling time. Do not be deterred by the lack of dedicated parking for this property as we had 3 vehicles and never had an issue parking near by.

Old Post Office Ideal venue for family of 7 to celebrate Christmas.

This property is situated in the Cotswolds less than 15 miles from Stratford. Situated in a village with a shop and two pubs and 4 miles away from the town of Shipston. The house is spacious, comfortable and warm thanks to the aga. The neighbours and villages are welcoming and friendly. The pubs are too All in all a brilliant property

We were a family group of 7. We had a lovely long weekend at The Ol

Thank you for a great long weekend at The Old Post Office. We were a group of 7 family members enjoying a weekend together. The accommodation was spacious and immaculate. It had everything we needed. The location was peaceful with a lovely local shop/cafe and pub where we enjoyed a tasty roast. We enjoyed walks in Ilmington, Broadway to the tower, Chipping Campden and Moreton in Marsh. I would highly recommend The Old Post Office if you are looking for a lovely place to stay.

Fabulous family weekend

Loved the Old Post Office. Beautiful and comfortable property - exactly as described. Ilmington is a beautiful village with lovely pubs and community shop. Great location for walking/trail running and close to Stratford-upon-Avon and Waitrose. Great manager who was very sympathetic and helpful when we realised we’d left a bunch of keys at the property! Would highly recommend. We will return! Thank you.

Beautiful and welcoming house

The Old Post Office is really welcoming from the moment you step through the front door. It’s warm, comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and great bathrooms. It had plenty of room for our party of seven and we had a very relaxing weekend. We didn’t venture far but walked from the door in pretty Ilmington and walked from NT Dover’s Hill into Chipping Campden. We hope to return again next year.

Beautiful cottage in Ilmington

Spacious, well equipped and stylish cottage with fantastic facilities, huge kitchen and all mod cons. We enjoyed our short stay very much. If you are tall beware the shortish doorways. The house was spotlessly clean and had great communal spaces, lots of comfortable chairs and sofas, enormous tables good for eating and playing board games. About 50 yds from the pub which served a good meal on Sunday evening. Loved the village shop with local bread, veg and spirits! Pretty village and plenty of things to do in the area.

A fantastic cottage in a lovely village

I booked the Old Post Office for my 70th birthday celebration with family & friends & was not disappointed. The cottage was spacious & beautifully appointed. It was warm & inviting with a chocolate cake wine & other goodies awaiting us. The bed linen & towels were luxurious & plentiful. It was less than a minute from a pub/restaurant where we had an excellent Sunday lunch. There was also a very well stocked community run shop just a 10 minute walk away. The village itself was extremely pretty & very quiet & peaceful. I highly recommend both the cottage & it’s location.

lovely cottage in pretty village

The cottage is as full of old world charm inside as it is from the outside. It is warm and cosy, comfortable, immaculately clean and tidy. There is only one space for parking immediately outside the property but we knew that in advance and not uncommon in a small village and anyway we always found parking close outside the pub. Cooking is on an Aga which we are a bit unused to in terms of controlling the heat and it does take longer, however it added to the charm as well :-)

Family surprise

Beautiful spacious cottage in lovely location. Plenty of room for an extended multigenerational family. Furnished well, and everything you could need there. Great local pubs within the village. Easy access to the Cotswolds and Stratford upon Avon for tourist trail. Had concerns about cooking on an AGA but was simple. If I had one suggestion not criticism it would be to remove the bath from second en-suite and replace with walk in shower. As there are 3 baths upstairs and only 1 shower and the elderly do find it difficult and dangerous stepping in/out a bath. Too risky.

Exceeded expectations, a truly special place.

This really is a 5 star property. When I say it exceeded expectations it was just a perfect perfect place to a really high standard. We would 100% book to go again and I would book through staycotswold again. Their communication was great and extremely clear from the booking up to the week of us going. There was one negative and this has nothing to do with the property or staycotswold but one of the neighbours who is also connected to the courtyard has 2 dogs which they let bark from about 5.30/6am and I think it's extremely inconsiderate and annoying. We would still stay at the property again but I might make my thoughts clear to the other owner politely.

Gorgeous house and location for families

We absolutely loved the property - amazing sofas and comfortable beds which was incredibly clean. The proximity to the pub, which did a fantastic roast and has a lovely beer garden, was amazing as well! The only element to be improved is that the curtains in the bedroom are very thin, so recommend bringing blackout blinds for children as otherwise it’s broad daylight in each room from 4.30am in the summer. Perhaps this is something that the company can look to amend for future guests’ comfort? We were not provided with a welcome hamper, which other reviewers have mentioned receiving, which was not a big issue but wanted to flag for future reference. However, it is certainly a properly we would all love to stay in again!

Perfect for group get togethers

We had a fabulous few days at the Old Post Office last week. A beautifully decorated property which perfectly met our needs as a large group of friends. The kitchen was well equipped. More hand towels needed in bathrooms. With seven in our group a clean hand towel daily in each bathroom would have been appreciated. There were also many cobwebs near windows and beams and a few dead insects near radiators in bedroom 2 along with spiders in the downstairs toilet. The hairdryer was missing from bedroom 2 - just the bag and nozzle. Overall decor was lovely, beds were super comfy and the beautiful sunshine ensured we had a wonderful weekend.
