Key Features

Booking and payment

Character Cottages is a marketing agency and we do not own or manage any of the cottages listed on our website. Bookings made via us form a legal agreement directly between you and the property owner.

For bookings commencing more than 10 weeks in advance, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required to confirm the booking. The balance payment is then due 10 weeks prior to arrival.

All payments are made subject to the cancellation policy set out in the standard Booking Conditions.

Security deposits

Security deposits are not required (please note that guests are still liable for any damage or additional cleaning required as a result of their actions).

Occupancy

The maximum occupancy of the property is three guests, at any point during your stay. Unauthorised over occupancy is a breach of our terms and conditions and may result in the cancellation of your booking and additional charges. Please consult us prior to booking if you wish to discuss the possibility of having more than three guests at the property.

Infants who sleep in a cot do not count towards the occupancy figure, however, due to space restrictions, the occupancy figure may only be exceeded by up to two additional infants.

Pets

Up to one medium sized dog is accepted, at a cost of £20 per booking per dog. Please note that the owner’s friendly dog also has access to the grounds.

For the comfort of future guests, we ask that dogs remain downstairs, stay off the furniture and that no trace of a dog remains after your departure.

Bed linen and towels

Bed linen and towels are provided for guests.

Initial consumables

A small quantity of initial consumables is provided for your convenience (eg. tea, coffee, sugar, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, soap, washing powder, toilet rolls, etc), however, you should not expect the quantity of these provisions to be sufficient for the duration of your stay.

Accessibility, health and safety

This is an old property and has many character features, including narrow and steep stairs, and low beams, which could pose difficulty to guests with limited mobility, or carrying babies, both in terms of their general movement and their ability to quickly exit the house in the event of an emergency.

The smoke and CO detectors operate on a sound only basis and, therefore, those who have serious impairment of hearing may not be able to hear the alarm systems and could be at risk.

Smoking

No smoking is permitted throughout the property.

Owners

Old Manor Cottage is a self-contained cottage, which is in the grounds of the manor house, where the owners live, and which is also run as a small B&B facility.

Photographs

In order to provide you with as much detail of our properties as possible, we sometimes use wide angle photography, which can make certain rooms, or spaces, appear larger than they actually are. Wherever possible, we try to include a floorplan, with detailed dimensions of rooms and areas.

If you have any queries regarding the size of any rooms or spaces, please do not hesitate to contact us.

-"Perfect getaway! Beautiful village & cottage. Everything we could if wished for and more. Hope to return again.", Sarah, December 2017

-"Beautiful cosy cottage with a lovely open fire. Beams are low though and my partner bumped his head a few times. Although it’s in the grounds of the Manor House the hosts were very friendly and not at all invasive.", Linda, November 2017

-"A lovely little cottage, idyllic setting, would definitely visit again”, Philip, October 2017

-“A charming cottage, set in beautiful grounds. It had everything we needed with a well-equipped kitchen, hairdryer, wifi, chessboard, etc. The short staircase certainly are steep, as the owners flagged to us, and it's old enough to have some uneven floor and low ceilings, but the cottage was so clean and cosy those things didn't matter - we had such a wonderful long weekend and would highly recommend it for a couple plus one. Old Manor is located in a quiet village but within easy reach by car of classic Cotswold towns like Chipping Camden as well as Stratford-Upon-Avon too. We loved visiting nearby Charlecote House for a walk and lunch with a stop off at the cafe at Wellesbourne airfield where our young son loved watching little planes landing and taking-off. The owners were very welcoming and shared lots of tips and ideas with us, on hand if we had questions, but the cottage also offers enough privacy too. Our son said he wanted to "stay forever" as he enjoyed the flowers, tennis courts, and wildlife so
much! ”, Georgia, April 2017

-"This is a lovely cottage in beautiful grounds. We had a 3 day break but would have liked to stay longer. Would certainly book again." John, April 2017
