Great house in a lovely location- nice pubs within walking distance and a short drive to great locations in the cotswolds. House desperately needs more cleaning equipment- it's a self catering house where of course friends/ families will cook and inevitably make a mess together. All that was present was a dribble of washing up liquid left in an old bottle. We dropped and smashed a bottle of wine so needed to use bath towels to soak up wine from the kitchen floor. It would have been a nice touch to atleast have some basics eg tea coffee sugar present in the house too. We were told a kids hi chair would be dropped off on the second day which never happened.

My family and I had a lovely, cosy stay at Post Office Cottage. The property is situated in a great location which is private and quiet but is within walking distance to three local pubs. We all enjoyed our stay, but agreed collectively that there were a few things that could be modified, to improve our stay. Suggestions were small but easily rectifiable for example having a full length mirror in the property, having more basic amenities such as cling film, foil, oven gloves, a bin, egg cups, tea, sugar and coffee provided and more glasses.

My family and I enjoyed two weeks at the old post office cottage in the beautiful town of Shipton-Under-Wychwood. This beautiful little town is quiet and away from the tourist traffic, but still close enough to enjoy nearby Cotswold villages and beautiful countryside. The home is very well maintained and matches the photos well in my opinion. Our host was responsive and very helpful. Be sure to visit The Crown pub directly across the street!

Post Office Cottage is located in the beautiful village of Shipton-under-Wychwood. The location is perfect for exploring The Cotswolds.
However, in terms of the accommodation itself, it is getting tired and needs maintenance. The front gate is broken. The internal paintwork needs a refresh, particularly the painted kitchen cupboards. Cleanliness also needs attention. A leftover pizza crust stuck to foil in the oven grill pan is not acceptable. The TV was smeared in handprints. The outdoor bins were full of the previous occupant’s rubbish. There is a lack of information regarding the operation of the tech, particularly TV instructions. Information on what items go in each outdoor bin in terms of recycling/waste was non-existent. The ability to turn off the extractor fan at night in the WC adjacent the main bedroom would be welcomed. The shower head feeder pipe needs to be reduced in length to avoid the bathroom floor being sprayed with water each time the shower is used.
Overall we had a lovely stay but the property would definitely benefit from a refresh. Cleanliness needs to be addressed.
