  The views are breath taking.

  The owner is not intrusive and she's lovely. The pool is big and warm when the sun is out. Perfect for walks with the dog and large garden (bear in mind it is open). It is only a few miles from Gloucester so not too out of the way. Supermarkets and Gloucester Quay within 10 minutes. The rooms are spacious. A chest of drawers would be really helpful in the second double. We really did live out of the suitcase. The property description states there is a bath. There isn't. Not a major biggie but we only have a walk-in shower and was looking forward to it. The place does feel like it could do with a really good clean. Downstairs toilet seat is loose. The small fridge in the kitchen doesn't close properly as the seal has worn. I did advise the owner. But other people have mentioned it in the comments as well some time ago. The internet and phone signals are poor. Would I go back? Yes, but not in the high season, I don't feel the property reflects the price. However, if you don't care about the said issues, it is a beautiful area and the owner's friendliness really did make the holiday.

  Absolutely lovely cottage.

  On a working farm, but you would never know. We did not go prepared for swimming, but wish we had done so. The enclosed swimming pool was clean and relatively private. Mattress not to our liking, but still slept well. A cottage with character....including the squeaky floorboards up stairs. Extremely well kitted out. TWO fridges was a welcome bonus. Did not try the open log fire on this visit, however we did need the heating on for a short time in the evening(s). WIFI/internet great. Welcome tray with homemade wine & bickies, plus fresh milk in the kitchen fridge (big thank you). Whilst September did not bring the best of weather, it did not detract from a brilliant stay. A minor disappointment was the inability to benefit from the extensive views from the downstairs windows due to shrubs being overgrown plus the patio area was not prepared for use (although weather was terrible in any case). THANKS MRS REEVE (?) , you have a wonderful retreat and we recommend it to any one who wants a comfy secluded holiday.

  We stayed for four nights, but regretting not to extend our stay due to other commitment we have.

  The cottage, the swimming pool, the farm and the surrounding landscapes have exceeded our expectation and we loved everything about it. Our evening/morning walks and swims will be forever cherished. The landlord and her son lived next door to the cottage and they were beyond helpful in providing us what we need (if not found). The cottage also provided story books, table games and toys for the little ones, so time was always filled with activities and fun. Maybe I was lucky to have come in summer time, where the unheated pool always remain warm, even our little toddler enjoyed swimming there. The cottage is all about authentic traditional farm house, I loved it! but my daughter thought that a contemporary furniture would suit it more. The cottage is also close to the Gloucester Quay and its lively shopping mall, my favorite Forest of Dean where we went for cycling, laser combat and hikes.

  This is our second stay at the Almshouse and it was just as perfect as our first stay.

  Fantastic location, lovely and peaceful and only a 5 minute drive from the lovely town of Tewkesbury. The house has everything you need for your stay away, lovely and clean, comfortable and dog friendly. We were lucky enough to stay during a meteor shower and enjoyed star gazing, watching shooting stars and the amazing aurora as well as the regular bats that make their evening appearance. The boot room is excellent for drying any wet weather gear and drying out your dogs. There are lots of really lovely pubs only a short distance away serving great locally sourced food and the beer also goes down a treat! We all highly enjoy our stays here and we hope to be heading back again next year.

  Our stay in August was lovely.

  The cottage has been renovated recently to a decent high standard and the owner has gone beyond with the small but very welcoming touch's. The location is really nice, peaceful and the views and Church right by the cottage are just amazing. As the listing states you can't park outside but your car is left off the road and is accessible down a short walk through the church grounds. The local attractions are really good. Tewkesbury Abbey and The John Moore Countryside Museum in Tewkesbury is a must, if you can book a tour it's really good. Boat trips along the Avon is a must too.
