brilliant cottage and even better host. would highly recommend.

Perry Orchard
We’ve just come back from having a lovely long weekend away. The location of the accommodation was brilliant, it was very clean, the kitchen has everything you need to cook with, the bathroom and en-suite was clean and spacious. Linda was amazing and she came over to make sure we have settled in and everything was ok. We would recommend The Farmers Arms which is just down the road or The Hunters Inn which is about 10-15 minutes drive for food. We would definitely book here again as we have only seen a small percentage of the area.

Cottage 3, Oakham Farm, Loxley with coarse fishing
Wow. What a fabulous place to stay. Exactly as described. Easy to find. Easy to gain access. Fabulous place for a family weekend. Everything you needed was there. On the Saturday morning , Sophie took us around the farm to see the animals and was so kind and welcoming. It made our holiday. With a three year old boy, you can imagine the excitement. Highly recommend the farm and cottage and we would love to come back Thank you x

Would definitely recommend.

single self-contained annexe room, parking
My second stay at Anne’s place and just as good as before. Anne left me what I required for breakfast which was kind of her. The room and bathroom are ideal for a single traveler. The local pub only 10 minutes away is a good spot and served good food. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Anne.

Elizabeth Mews - By Luxury Apartments
Lovely property in a great location that was very handy for walking into Cheltenham. Nice quiet street but still close to everything. Well equipped with everything we needed for a short stay and a lovely welcome hamper. Personal greeting for check in was a nice touch as well. Just to note if you are bringing a dog (which we did) the garden isn’t completely secure and our dog did manage to squeeze through the gaps in the hedge!

Georgian fronted house near Cotswold Way
Lovely, attractive and comfortable house. Very well furnished and fabulously equipped. The large garden is a great space with a range of seating and tables, a chest of garden toys and a little Wendy house! Samantha communicated regularly and promptly but left as undisturbed during our stay. Overall, very highly recommended.

Peaceful. Beautiful. Perfect. We came here with our two young children and the location and accommodation couldn’t have been better! Susan and John were brilliant hosts and wouldn’t hesitate to come back! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Field End Contemporary rural barn
Fantastic place to stay. We visited with our young daughter and dog & we had everything that we needed - hosts simply can’t do enough for you. Fab location as well with loads of places to visit that are only a short drive away.

Luxury 4 bedroom lake view home. Sleeps 8-10 & dog
It’s easy to see why this place is booked up pretty much non-stop. The house its self has everything you need for a break and the added bonus of water sports being available (friends staying near us didn’t have such a luxury). As for the location, remote enough to be quiet but close enough to lots of other stuff to do. I was on a canoe in the middle of one of the lakes and couldn’t hear a thing. The area is absolutely stunning and the Sarah and Stuart couldn’t have been more helpful. They let us in a little early as they were ready and always on hand to help and even checked in to see if we needed anything. If external commitments allowed, I for sure would have booked longer. Absolute gem of a find!

The Stables slps 6, Close to Bredenbury Court
We booked The Stables, The Hophouse and The Loft for our wedding party. All 3 were excellent. We would highly recommend staying here, in particular if you’re getting married locally, such as at Bredenbury Court Barns. Sarah was a great and responsive host - thank you again!
