We really enjoyed our stay here, especially during Cheltenham Festival week. The house has plenty of character and is set in a lovely rural spot, perfect for relaxing. The hot tub was a real treat after long days out. It's a bit of a walk to town, about 15 minutes to the bus stop or three miles to the centre, so handy for exploring. WiFi was pretty poor, but mobile data worked fine. Overall, a charming place!
