Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests generally found The Clock Tower to be clean and well-presented. There were a few mentions of cobwebs and a water stain, but these appear to be isolated incidents rather than a trend, suggesting high standards of cleanliness are typically maintained.
The location of The Clock Tower is highly praised for its peacefulness, proximity to the village centre, local shops, and pubs. The scenic walks and easy access to the Cotswolds contribute to its excellent location score.
The comfort of the cottage is well-regarded, with special mentions of comfortable beds and a cosy setting. However, some guests noted issues with the size of the shower and the lack of a shaver socket, slightly affecting the comfort score.
Facilities at The Clock Tower are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable living spaces. However, there were comments about missing items like coffee pods and a broken key fob, as well as suggestions for improvement like better vacuum cleaners and larger fridge/freezer, which impacts the facilities score.
There is insufficient information regarding the provision of gifts or special thoughtful touches for guests, as no reviews explicitly mention these. Therefore, a score cannot be provided for thoughtfulness.

The fridge was missing a glass plate so we had to put everything on top of eachother and the little freezer was full of ice so limitied space.There were also a lot of spiders and cobwebs so not thoroughly cleaned before our arrival. We couln't not find the Bbq.These are just some small remarks but generally we had a very nice stay at the cottage it was a very cosy cottage good beds and very nice furnished in a very quiet and beautiful area.Just a walk away from the pubs Family from Belgium

Only issues were one shower so small we didn't use it after the first day we used the bath . Surprised to receive a email saying I'd broken the key fob , and will be charged for it .when I arrived the first week the key fob was already broken and was in the key safe separate to the key .so whoever put the key and fob there would have known was already broken. I didn't get a reply to this issue either. On hearing this shocking news I looked around the cottage because I didn't wish to be charged for other things that had nothing to do with me . So I noted some things and sent an email back to Sykes cottages. There is a water stain on the kitchen ceiling,the kitchen light doesn't work and whoever was in the weekend between my stay left a note about a broken shower part .

The only downside was the shower which was extremely small to say the least & the shower door not closing properly in the centre made it even smaller. Wonder why the main bathroom only had a hand held shower in the bath as loads of room to put a shower cubicle. We would have rated with 5 stars but lost one because of the shower. Also would be slighly hesitant to recommend to friends because of the shower. That all being said we loved the cottage & village.
