Snaptrip says
Pike Cottage is consistently praised for its cleanliness, charming character, and prime location in a quaint village with a welcoming pub nearby. Guests appreciate the friendly owners and the access to a beautiful garden. While the cottage's historic nature means some find it compact, particularly the kitchen, its cosiness and the presence of an open fire add to its appeal. The unique clock feature is noted for its gentle ticking, contributing to the cottage's ambiance.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests frequently commend the cottage for its cleanliness, describing it as 'very clean' and 'spotless', indicating high standards of hygiene and care.
The location is highly regarded for its convenience to local attractions and the presence of a good pub across the road, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
The cottage is often described as cosy and comfortable, with a lovely open fire and a comfortable bed. However, some guests mention the bathroom can be cold and the water heater requires time to reheat.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the garden and the open fire. However, the small kitchen and the wait between showers are noted drawbacks. The mention of a larger TV and more reliable Wi-Fi suggests room for improvement.
Several reviews mention thoughtful touches like a welcome basket, which guests found delightful. However, as these gifts are subject to the owners' discretion, they may not be a consistent offering for all stays.

It is compact and bijou and well placed to visit south Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. The history of this quaint, picturesque cottage is fascinating. The stairs to the first floor are steep but manageable with the rope banister. The pub across the road offers value for money but be warned- their portions are generous. The owners are lovely and welcoming, offering free range of their beautiful garden. We highly recommend the cottage.

I was made very welcome from the moment I arrived, had everything I needed and loved being able to enjoy the family's beautiful walled garden. A perfect place for a perfect break from it all.

Ideally situated for easy access to surrounding areas i.e. Bath, Boughton-on-the-Water and Bibury. Pub across the road serves lovely food. Property small but characterful. Owners very friendly and helpful.
