Great place and great host! We had a room at the top of the place and it was a bit noisy outside at around 10pm but after that we slept great. Our toilet wasn't flushed from the previous guests when we arrived but besides that the house was spotless. Charles was a very welcoming host and made us an incredible breakfast. Would definitely stay again whenever in the area.

Terrible experience, very frightening
I booked this accommodation over a month before as part of a business trip - working all day in Dursley the day of arrival and all day the following day - and rang the previous day to confirm my expected time of arrival. When I arrived no one was at home. I rang the number provided, but that was a landline and I could hear it ringing out unanswered. I waited - in the cold and the dark - for 30 minutes and rang again, again to the landline, the only number I had and, again, could hear it ringing out unanswered. Fortunately I did not wait as I was not contacted by the owners until almost 2 hours later by which time I had found, with some difficulty, alternate overnight accommodation 16 miles away. Very frightening. Apparently, this is entirely Hotels.com's fault as they were told on the day the boiler had broken at the accommodation and that no guests could be accepted that day and then Hotels.com failed to let me know.

Disappointed
On arrival there was nowhere to park within property boundary so we had to put the car on a grass verge on a junction on a very narrow lane. We were shown up to our room which had a remote bathroom for our sole use. Neither room nor bathroom could be locked. The bedroom carpet was covered in stains and had not been vacuumed. There were 2 mugs with facility to make tea/coffee. One of the mugs had debris in the base. The bathroom was clean but the toilet did not flush, we reported this before leaving for supper, it was not fixed before we left the following morning. Our hosts were apologetic regarding toilet facilities, but they should avail themselves of tradesmen who can supply an emergency service. To have no toilet facility for the duration of the stay was totally unacceptable. The bed itself was clean and comfortable, but the room was nothing short of grubby. I would not have walked barefoot on the carpet. We were told they would refund us £30 on our £125 advance payment. We have yet to receive. Breakfast was adequate, and the owners son who served us was delightful.

Walking the Cotswolds Way and chose this property as it’s location was perfect for our distance and it looked really nice in the photos. We were not disappointed, beautiful house, very tastefully decorated, great character and top quality fittings. Lovely welcoming hosts. Would highly recommend.
