  The positives-Overwhelmingly location, location, location.

  A minute walk from beautiful town centre & stunning park. Cirencester is an absolute delight. Lots of independent traders sit alongside decent high street stores. In addition 25 charity shops. A thriving town. Great green spaces for walking you & your dog & ideal base to explore The Cotswolds. All this is is a "High Recommend" The challenges. The basement is based under a very old beautiful house. For the first couple of days, there was a musty smell. Perhaps due to it being closed & not heated. The accommodation is VERY tired & could be stunning-but needs decent financial investment. The beds are comfortable, the bedding is old in the bedroom without windows. I prefer to sleep under a double duvet. A single does not cut it as an adult. The lounge is basic. The kitchen is adequate-but utensils & cutlery are not clean. There is a cupboard containing sauces/condiments that I opened & shut immeadiately! The wet room is good. The washing machine & Fridge freezer are also modern. Internet connection is appalling. If you are looking to work and or watch movies you will be hugely frustrated. I am sure it is due to the basement build & deep walls. Internet connection drops out continually. We moved the router into the hallway which helped slightly. Overall if you are not fussed about the comfort, facilities & cleanliness of your accommodation then this one is for you. Otherwise, pass this one by.

  The Rowan studio is an excellent choice for a week (or longer) holiday in the Cotswolds at any time of the year.

  The apartment is situated in the quiet village of Cranham in the lovely Cotswold countryside and is an ideal base for a walking holiday. The Rowan studio is also just a few miles drive to Gloucester with its historic docklands and also the spa town of Cheltenham. The Rowan studio accommodation is very nice. The open plan apartment is modern, spotlessly clean and surprisingly spacious; it includes a well-equipped kitchen area (including dishwasher), a nice bathroom, huge comfortable bed, recliner settee, smart TV and nice dining table with chairs in the dining area. Parking is just outside your front door. The owners provided some nice treats including a lovely home-made fruit cake and locally produced goats cheese; they live in the house next door and are available to help if needed but otherwise will leave you in peace to enjoy your stay. Our visit was in March, we really enjoyed our week at the Rowan studio and were sad to leave for home at the end of our stay. We spent most of the week walking in the surrounding countryside using the local walks in the booklets provided by the owner. It has to be said that in March the weather can vary, but provided you are well wrapped up and with suitable footwear it is surprising how much blue sky and sunshine can be around to enjoy at that time of year.

  Pros Great location and easy to find.

  Large basement with comfortable bed, large wet room and pleasant lounge. Car parking good and close. Good base to explore both Cirencester and surrounding area. Abbey gardens within easy reach. Serena very welcoming and helpful. Very quiet despite being very close to town centre. Great to have the town centre so close and easy to access. Cons As previous review stated accommodation is tired needs some TLC. Some electric switches are not good. Premises we found cold. Some kitchen utensils were left dirty by previous occupants with some plates and cutlery still having some food dried on. Difficult to turn off cloakroom taps as they dripped. Other Comments Kitchen very dark and small but served its purpose. Stairs as stated in description a bit steep and uneven. We enjoyed our stay despite the "cons". above and with a bit of TLC this place could be far better.

  The property was very well equiped with everything you need for a perfect holiday and just a 15 minute stroll to the beautiful village.

  The views were just amazing over the beautiful Cotswold countryside which the property took full advantage of with it's height and huge picture windows and balcony. The wildlife was in abundance with a large bird feeding station attracting goldfinch, chaffinch, greenfinch, great tit, blue tit , green woodpecker, pheasants and french partridge. We also saw muntjak , roe deer, little owl, buzzards, squirrels and rabbits , it was just amazing. There was a pool and darts room which we made full use of being perfect entertainment now the nights are drawing in. There is plenty of outside seating near the wildlife pond , again with fab views. Roy and Sue, the owners, were such lovely welcoming people and could not have been more helpful. We will definitely go back to this lovely unique property .

  Overall an excellent property for a perfect holiday stay.

  We loved the views. It was just as we had anticipated from the pictures at the time of booking. The only things I would like to add are: the sofas in the living room need replacement. One of the seats is broken and overall they were covered with covers that made them look quite shabby. The seats were falling out of the sofas. Secondly, whilst the place was perfect for a family that required space for 6, it may not be suitable for a group of friends (3 couples), since the room upstairs were quite small and dark with small windows. But we were very happy with our stay. And thanks to the caretaker, who welcomed us to the farm on first day and also gave us a book on the history of Burton on the water on the day we were leaving. My kids enjoyed reading the book!
