Holloway House Reviews

Andrew
Just a brilliant property. Lovely location. Perfect house for our party of 6 adults and 5 children. Close to lovely pub Star Inn and had a great day at Slimbridge. Very spacious, Children loved playing hide and seek may have left a couple there! Car parking close, Highly recommend.
Alison
A lovely property which was so interesting. The dogs enjoyed to enclosed garden!
This is a brilliant house to stay in especially if you have children. There is a secret room! a secret garden! and loads of places in which hide. The house is in a really good spot as all the surrounding buildings are shops and closed after about 6 pm so making too much noise is not an issue. The house is equipped to service a small army and there is everything that you would need plus more. We used this house as a base to explore. Being in the middle of Wootton under Edge we visited all the cafes along the high street. Most of the shops were small independent businesses and everyone was very friendly. The hot tub was a great success and used every night. There are 3 things that I think the owner ought to address. 1. The gate's opening & closing mechanism didn't work and so the gate did not shut securely and that was a security issue. 2. There were 3 bathrooms and only 1 had a door that closed and locked properly. 3. There was not any facility to recycle. We were told to put everything in bags and leave near the gate. As we are very much into recycling, we did as much as we could. I would certainly stay here again and we had a lovely holiday.
Great place to stay, fantastic location and perfect for friends and family
Had a great stay at Holloway House with friends over the bank holiday weekend. Really great space for adults and children. We had lovely walks on our doorstep as well as supermarkets, pubs and a local car park making the stay super easy. Would definitely recommend staying here!
Carole
Lovely house, very comfortable. Pets only allowed on ground floor, which meant we didn't spent such time in the first floor lounge and kitchen area. Parking at local free car park but it is restricted to 23 hrs in some parking bays and others where for 3 hrs, so had to keep moving car so not to get any parking tickets.
Natalie
Having booked this property for a family weekend of for 5 adults and two young children I am disgusted to be charged 150 to empty two dishwashers one containing 6 items, wash a soiled towel used by and elderly gentleman in his 80s. Whilst we made every effort to clean the property before we left it was impossible for everyone to have breakfast and depart by 10am. Despite asking for an itemised invoice this has not been forthcoming. Not the end to a family weekend one expects. In addition, whilst the listing advertises a hot tub it is impossible to heat. After waiting for 5 hours we gave up as the water was still cold.
Unbelievable place and service. Was a pleasant stay and would recommend to anyone.
