• "Charming cottage (and so is the owner)."

  Well equipped. Very confortable. Beautiful garden (the view from the dining room to the garden is a constant happiness). Eastleach is probably the best kept secret in the Cotswolds. Sure as beautiful than Bibury but very less crowded. I will miss my early morning walks in the churchyards or along the river.

  We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and the area. We are lucky to have so many wonderful places to visit in the Cotswolds. We would love to welcome you again for another stay with us soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

• "Upon entering the cottage the only words we used for the first 10 minutes were ' wow, beautiful,so pretty, enchanting and tasteful, then we saw the magnificent garden!"

  Everything you could possibly need in the kitchen was provided, the beds were extremely comfortable and everywhere was lovely and warm. Even in January the garden was a joy to sit in with the snowdrops bursting through and the constant sound of bird song. We can only imagine how beautiful it will be in the spring and summer! the information sent to us before our visit was very useful and informative. Walking to the lovely quaint village through the churchyard beside the gentle river was extremely pleasant and rounded off with a fantastic pub meal. I cannot recommend the cottage and the location enough.

• "All Souls is a beautiful old cottage in a very beautiful old village."

  All the rooms are clean and comfortable enough with a large well appointed kitchen/conservatory. Ameneties in the village are very limited but our favourite local town was Burford, it's only a short drive away and has numerous shops, cafes and restaurants. The local pub is a short walk away and it's a really friendly and welcoming place .. and the food & drink excellent. The garden area is well maintained and would be lovely area to enjoy in the spring and summer.

  Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased that you had an enjoyable stay and we hope to welcome you back again. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner

• "Nestled in the heart of the idyllic Cotswolds, All Souls Cottage in Eastleach offers an escape steeped in charm and quintessential English character."

  This beautiful cottage strikes the perfect balance between history and modern comfort, with its original window frames, wooden floors, and roaring fireplace creating an ambiance that makes you feel instantly at home. Every corner of the property reflects a refined rusticity, with thoughtful touches that make for an inviting retreat—it’s clear that no detail has been overlooked. The village of Eastleach itself is a gem, seemingly untouched by time. As you wander its quiet lanes, you’ll be greeted by honey-colored stone cottages, ancient churches, and rolling fields that stretch as far as the eye can see. It’s easy to lose yourself in the charm of this unspoiled slice of the English countryside. There’s a serenity here that’s hard to find elsewhere, punctuated only by birdsong and the gentle murmur of the River Leach. Dominic, the owner, is a true highlight of the All Souls experience. From the moment you book, he is welcoming, responsive, and dedicated to ensuring your stay is as enjoyable as possible. His local recommendations make exploring Eastleach even more special. His warm hospitality reflects the very spirit of Eastleach—genuine, heartfelt, and unforgettable. All Souls Cottage is more than just a place to stay; it’s an experience that captures the essence of the English countryside at its finest.

  A wonderful house and garden, an exceptional beautiful location. The owner Dominic was very kind and caring. We fell in love with the (dogfriendly) pittoreske village, pub, meadows, hills and the cottswolds in general.

• "A lovely property - well equipped, comfortable and a haven of peace and tranquility set in a beautiful village."

  Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, so much so that we have already re-booked for next year. The garden is a particular joy, given the weather and the time to sit out in it - lots of birdsong and even a young deer who occasionally wanders through - the owner obviously takes great care in maintaining both the property and the garden.

  We are delighted that you loved the cottage and its peaceful location. Thank you very much for rebooking and we look forward to welcoming you back next year. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage, perfect location."

  Interior and exterior of cottage accurately advertised. Only drawback was that the kitchen conservatory was too cold to use even with heating on. Garden not enclosed for 4 legged friends so had to stay outside with them. Overall a great place to stay. It would be even better in the warmer months.

  Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were not able to enjoy the conservatory during your stay. We have passed your comments onto the owner. We do recommend that dogs are supervised at all times. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope we can welcome you back in warmer weather. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

• "All Souls Cottage was a perfect break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life."

  The peaceful setting, surrounded by a lush garden of plants, flowers, and trees, was exactly what we were looking for. The cottage itself was well-equipped with all the amenities we needed, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches. We used the cottage as a base to explore the Cotswolds, and we were within easy reach of many of the area's attractions. After a day of sightseeing, it was always a pleasure to come back to the cottage and relax in the garden with a glass of wine. We could hear the birds singing and the wind rustling through the trees, and we felt completely at peace. We would highly recommend All Souls Cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway. The cottage is beautifully appointed, the location is perfect, and Duncan’s welcome information was of such help to begin our relaxation, very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time, and we will definitely be back!

  Thank you so much Stuart for such a thoughtful review. I particularly love the fact you enjoyed the birds and the tranquility. The other morning I had a nightingale serenading me. I would like to point out that we now have an outdoor parasol and 2 garden sun loungers! With thanks and we look forward to seeing you again, Dominic, (not Duncan!) Property Owner

  The house is beautifully decorated with an amazing bird-filled garden. The owner thought of everything a visitor would need. Perfectly clean. Beautiful views of the church.

  It exceeded our expectations and the surrounds of Eastleach village also stunning. We can’t recommend the cottage enough. Very clean and comfortable and although we took all our own things there were lots of “get you in” items on arrival which was a very nice touch. Centrally located to have a great week in the Cotswolds. Thank you for having us in your beautiful cottage

• "This is by far the most beautiful cottage I ever stayed in!"

  We loved everything about the house: the architecture, the view, the interiour decorations, the beds (already made up), the fact that the kitchen is so well equipped, etc. etc. And the garden! This is really beyond everything! Loved it! As the weather was so hot, we didn feel like going to visit too many sites. So we did that in the mornings and relaxed in the shade in “our” garden while watering the borders.The contact with Dominic was always very pleasant! We felt ultimately at home and didn’t want to leave. I would definitely recommend!

• "All Souls Cottage is beautifully appointed and wonderfully situated."

  It takes a little while to get used to some of the unusual (to us) features like the "upside down" layout and the internet sourced TV but this actually helped to make it a rather special experience. The garden in particular is a real treasure. The village pub, The Victoria, has been "done up" since we were last there before the pandemic and is lovely - but the prices have escalated and it no longer opens Monday or Tuesday. Also The Swan in Southrop has not re-opened post pandemic so walking for a pint is limited.

  Thank you for providing this helpful feedback which is much appreciated. We're glad you enjoyed your stay at All Souls Cottage and also the garden and hope to welcome you back again. Property Owner

• "Beautiful cottage with an immaculate garden overlooking the church and village."

  Good basis for exploring The Cotswolds and plenty of dog walks straight from the front door. Very peaceful with little traffic especially during weekdays. Lechlade, the local town although more of the size of a large village, has everything you need including a lovely soda bread bakery and Lynwood and Co a local independent coffee shop with the best tasting coffee.

  Having rented very many holiday cottages in over 40 years this was on a par with the best of the rest. It was immaculate, comfortable to live in, pleasing to look at (furniture, pictures, &c.), great selection of books. And a beautiful garden which had clearly been very carefully planned to give year round interest.

• "Would of been nice to have loungers for the garden to sit on."

  It was very cold downstairs bit damp,Lounge was not very comfortable but other than that was really lovely place to stay. Not very secure for dogs either could not leave them in garden on there own but we had a lovely stay thank you x

  Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay in 2019. The cottage does now have seating in the garden and the heating is fine and working throughout the house, but with all stone built houses, you will find they will be cooler than the average new build . With regards to the garden, we would generally say no garden is 100% secure, as dogs will get out if they really want to. That said we hope you still enjoyed your stay and that you made the most of the wonderful views. It's a lovely spot to base yourself in the Cotswolds. Property Owner

• "A simply charming cottage in the most beautiful and dreamy village of the Cotswolds (Eastleach)."

  In every corner of this old building and wonderful garden you can see the love it was furnsihed, designed and equipped with. Fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, dishwasher, big fridge, freezer, lovely fireplace, TV. Unfortunately just one shower if you come with the maximum of 5 guests (the other bathroom is not recommended to have a shower in the bathtub). Unbelievably beautiful dining table with a view into the garden. Quiet. Comfortable beds and duvets of a quality we`re still dreaming of. In the middle of nature, so don`t be too afraid of meeting a spider here and there ;-) The peaceful little church opposite is not in use but open all day and night and worth a visit. Crystal clear brook right behind the church. Visit the friendly pub just a few walking minutes away! For people from a big city please check the stars on a clear night. Favourite next village: Lechlade! For people interested in rare airplanes, visit the military base a few miles away for plane spotting, you won`t be the only one...

• "All Souls Cottage: Review."

  We have been many times on holiday in accommodation provided by Sykes. They have always come up trumps and we have always been delighted with the standard they provide. This time they excelled even themselves and exceeded our highest expectations. “All Souls Cottage” is superb. Being an old building, it is full of character, for example, the windows. The accommodation was warm, spacious, well appointed, scrupulously clean, beautifully furnished, tastefully decorated and fully equipped with every modern convenience, including (and new to us) internet television. Dining in the conservatory overlooking the garden was a real pleasure. A table and seats were also provided for al fresco eating. Both the cottage and the garden are totally private. It is easy to think of the cottage as a permanent home. The icing on an already scrumptious cake is the garden. It is truly excellent; well stocked with colorful plants, shrubs and trees. There is also a well-manicured lawn. The garden, with its different levels, has been designed with imagination and skill. Whilst we were at the cottage there was a resident pheasant and we saw squirrels and many different birds. The cottage sits in the sparsely populated, picturesque Cotswold Village of Eastleach. It has its own pub. This is but a short walk from the cottage and its welcoming staff offer a varied menu at reasonable prices. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner who was able to give us some of the background to the cottage as well pointers to the many local attractions in the area. Included in these was the adjacent fourteen-acre garden at Eastleach House. This is open by arrangement; details are in its website. If you are able to see it, you will be delighted with its design and scope. All Souls Cottage in Summary: Positives: All of the Above. Negatives: None. Recommended? Absolutely !!

• "All Souls is a truly beautiful cottage set in a lovely garden in the very pretty Cotswold village of Eastleach - a quiet, secluded paradise."

  There are wonderful walks in and around the village (great for humans and fantastic for dogs), and the cottage is within easy driving distance of lovely Cotswold towns including Burford (just 6 miles away), Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold. There is also an excellent village pub (dog friendly) that serves good food. All Souls is very highly recommended.
