Testimonials

Discover why discerning travelers choose Luxury Cotswolds Rentals for their countryside escapes

"My family and I travel to England for various holidays annually. We have been working with The [LCR] Travel team for several years now and with out of doubt they are a top notch staff. More recently, I had the pleasure of meeting Maria Stengard-Green as she was overseeing a New Years let in Amberley, England. Her professionalism and care was above and beyond. Never over - burdening but available when needed. She was personable, friendly and attentive. This year my family will be letting two rentals from this wonderful company and I highly recommend their services when traveling to the Cotswolds and beyond. I hope this recommendation gives any interested clientele a sense that they will be well looked after. 5 stars all the way. Jennifer NYC"

""Hi Maria - Luxury Cotswold rentals was superb! Excellent choices of houses and Theescombe Hill house was fantastic. Spacious, well equipped, incredible views. Easy to navigate the house. You were incredibly responsive and accommodating. Having a US phone number is a big plus. We were quite pleased with all of the service providers you recommended - The Out; Driving Service; Katherine; and Lisa. The car, though we needed to learn to navigate it because of the size, was perfect for our group of seven. Arrangements with The Out were very smooth. Roger the driver and the luggage van were perfect. Katharine is amazing, reliable, trustworthy and we highly recommend her. Lisa as well, excellent meals and perfect prep and clean-up. Until next time! Thanks again. Philip" "

""Thanks so much for all your help throughout. Can’t begin to explain how much we’ve loved Weavers Cottage, and have been dreading our departure. Also the service during our stay has been fantastic, thank you for answering our questions so quickly and Rosie and the team were great! My parents already are thinking of either booking Weavers again, or something else in Kingham, later this year so I will reach out again once they decide.""

Weaver's Cottage Kingham

"Hi Maria, I would like to say thank you for organizing our stay at Langley Park. We had a very nice time. John is an amazing chef - everything that he prepared was delicious and presented beautifully. And he was able to cook separate dishes for the girls. Rebecca was absolutely amazing as well - she is a very nice person who made our stay very comfortable. And girls loved her. The house is not as luxurious as Crusics Park but is very nice. The grounds are very beautiful and the pool, tennis court are great. The unicorn's visit was absolutely magical - girls had so much fun! Thank you for organizing it. The balloons were very nice and the cake was amazing - beautiful and delicious. Adults had a lot of fun clay pigeon shooting. Thank you again for all your work. Svetlana "

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about your luxury Cotswolds experience

The best place to stay really depends on what you're after. We've built our collections around the most popular requests we hear from guests, from grand manor houses and mansions for large family gatherings and weddings, to romantic cottages for two, dog friendly retreats, and homes with their own swimming pool or tennis court. Browse our collections to find the property that's the best fit for your stay, or get in touch and we'll guide you to the right one.
Our portfolio includes homes with genuinely unique touches you won't find in a typical hotel or holiday cottage, from stone pizza ovens and croquet lawns to communal indoor swimming pools, hot tubs and all weather tennis courts. Because each property is chosen for its individual character rather than to fit a set format, no two homes in our collection look or feel the same.
We have a range of grand manor houses and mansions across the portfolio designed for large family reunions, milestone celebrations and multi generational stays, with our largest homes sleeping over 20 guests across multiple reception rooms, and often including pools, tennis courts and dedicated entertaining spaces. Get in touch with our team and we'll match you to the property with the space and facilities that suit your group best.
We're not a traditional letting agent. Luxury Cotswold Rentals is a deliberately small and is home to a niche group of like-minded property owners, founded in 2010 by Nigel and Maria Stengard-Green. We know every property and every owner personally, so we can guide you to the right home for your stay, rather than simply listing properties.
Our portfolio spans the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the surrounding countryside of South Central England, with properties in and around Tetbury, Chippenham, Cheltenham and Bath. Every property page confirms its exact location and nearest town.
We have a portfolio of almost 100 properties, from cosy one-bedroom cottages to grand manor houses and mansions sleeping 24 or more guests.
Every booking comes with access to our multi-level Concierge service and our unique App, your personal guide to the Cotswolds with over 2,000 points of interest, as well as the Cotswold Passport, which unlocks exclusive offers including up to 20% off luxury car hire. We also never charge a booking fee, even on properties that aren't exclusive to us. Beyond this, our Concierge team can arrange private chefs, therapists, beauticians, wellness retreats and classic car hire, among many other bespoke experiences tailored to your stay.
Yes. Many of our cottages are dog friendly and offer a very warm welcome to your best friend. Browse our dedicated Dog Friendly Holiday Homes collection to find the perfect pet-friendly cottage, farmhouse or manor house.
Yes. We have a wonderful collection of wedding and event venues catering for between 30 and around 250 guests, and every one of these also welcomes corporate and wellbeing retreats. House rules do vary by property (some larger homes limit the number of weddings hosted each year, or don't accept hen parties), so it's best to check with us at the time of enquiry.
Yes. We offer optional Refund Protection through XCover, rated Excellent on Trustpilot, at around 7% of your full booking value. It covers cancellations due to illness, injury, adverse weather warnings or a vehicle breakdown en route, among other circumstances.
Smaller cottages within our Instant Booking Collection can be viewed and booked directly online. For larger or more exclusive homes, we'll confirm availability and in some case rates with you directly, as some properties need owner consultation before a booking is confirmed. Minimum stay length varies by property, from three nights at some cottages to a full week at others, so do check the listing page for details.
We're proud to have featured in Condé Nast Traveller, Lonely Planet, The Telegraph, Country Life and The Times, among others, and Spear's has named us, for a second consecutive year, one of the most exceptional holiday home and country house rental providers. We have been a hospitality host in the Cotswolds for over 21 years and Luxury Cotswold Rentals itself has been offering great properties and experiences for 16 years and was originally created for the founder’s own house, The Old Surgery in Tetbury before other owners asked to join our portfolio.
