What our customers say about their holidays

• Sue - Verified booking

  We were greeted over the fence by the owner on our arrival and she was polite and welcoming and then left us to get settled in.

  The garden was pretty and was also dog friendly and secure. It had been raining heavily that day, but it was somewhat off putting to find that the septic tank for the cottage was in the garden near the property and was obviously not functioning properly, as the smell of sewerage was overpowering and the noise of the processing motor was quite intrusive, meaning that we needed to sleep with all the windows closed to keep the smell and the noise to a minimum. When we explored the cottage on arrival everything appeared to be clean and comfortable, with a pint of milk and some biscuits plus chews for the dog left for us, which was certainly appreciated. Unfortunately, when we turned back the bed there were several hairs on the sheet and a long blonde one on the pillow and on going into the bathroom we found several short, dark, curly hairs in the bath! It was also quite annoying that the inner front door was extremely stiff and tricky to open, literally requiring a concerted effort both to push the handle down and then to push the door itself open. The internet signal strength at this property was so poor as to be virtually useless, but maybe we hit a bad week as when we mentioned this problem to the owner she just said she'd not had any complaints from other guests. The one huge problem which completely ruined our whole holiday, though was when, on day 2, the owner shouted and swore at us over the fence, refusing to listen to any answers or apologies from us for something that we had already settled with the other owner a few minutes earlier! The genuine mistake that we had made, simply because the previous 6 properties we have stayed at have had no problem whatsoever with it, was to top up our electric vehicle charge using a genuine BMW slow charger, which plugs into a normal household socket, like any household appliance. (As an aside, the terms on the booking sheet clearly state that all electricity is included in the price paid!) We were totally taken aback at Brian's aggressive tirade and to say we were upset and angry is an understatement! This holiday had been meant to be a special celebration of our wedding anniversary and my birthday but we spent the rest of it feeling intimidated and unwelcome, finding excuses every day to delay going back to the cottage in case the owner was once again waiting at the fence! Ashleworth is a beautiful area and perfectly situated for exploring the locality, but needless to say we won't be coming back to Lawn Lodge!

  A lovely studio with everything you need.

  Really nice touches on arrival, homemade cake, goats cheese, milk, biscuits and yes, even a chocolate orange. Cranham is a good base for the southern Cotswolds and it has a lovely village pub although this is not open Monday - Wednesday. Not a big problem as there are plenty of nice pubs locally. Great for walking / cycling straight from the door. There is just one thing to be aware of, unfortunately you do hear some noise from the studio upstairs that can be a little intrusive particularly if you are the early to bed or late to rise types. That said, this is only guests walking on the floor above, running taps, shower etc etc. So, in summary, a nice studio with nice owner in a nice location

  The cottage is in the most peaceful location.

  The description of the driveway is accurate and I found it best to just to park at the bottom and walk the bags up to the cottage, it was good exercise ! The welcome basket with the delicious fresh coffee and biscuits was a lovely surprise. The kitchen and the cottage in general is really well equipped making the stay really like a home from home. The living room is s cozy and snuggly with the log burner lit, I think we all dozed off at some point in front of it ! We loved every minute of our stay and I would like to go back again. It really was very peaceful and a great location to explore Twekesbury and also Eastnor castle.

  We had a wonderful stay at this apartment.

  Upon arrival there was a welcome basket which included everything for a nice cup of tea/coffee after our long journey. Also everything we needed for breakfast in the morning. The owners were lovely, friendly and welcoming. The apartment was lovely and clean with everything we needed.We were also able to park our car within the secure drive which was great. There are some great places to visit in the area. Plenty of places to get a bite to eat. One of our favourite places was Glasshouse inn, it's set in such a scenic area and the food was amazing!

  A fantastic place to stay….

  .perfect cleanliness and extremely cosy. There was everything you could possibly need and more. A lovely welcome from the owners, plus gifts of local goats cheese which was delicious, home made fruit cake and even chocolate. Milk, tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate were all on hand. What more could you ask for! In an idyllic village with a lovely friendly local pub…..walks on hand from the door….and very handy to get to places within the Cotswolds. Will definitely be returning and would highly recommend for a couple.
