What our customers say about their holidays

  We absolutely loved our stay in The Annexe.

  Came for 4 nights with just me, 2 teenagers and the dog in a fairly rainy week, so was slightly nervous about keeping them all entertained and happy - but needn't have worried! The house was immaculately clean (and I mean, totally, utterly, spotless clean) and we couldn't have asked for better, more modern and comfortable facilities (my first time cooking on an induction hob - worked a treat!!). The lovely owners even provided us with a home-baked cake and cookies - they didn't last long with the teenagers in the house! Wi-Fi had a super strong signal, so we were able to stream movies, play games on our devices etc with no problems (essential with 2 teenagers in tow!). Plenty of piping hot water for showers or a bath, too. The beautiful but also wildlife-friendly garden and views from The Annexe were magnificent - I had a real stinker of a cold on our holiday, so spent a lot of time happily sat in the reclining lounge chairs reading and watching the birds coming to the feeders out the window. The location was perfect for a big range of activities too - we went to Go Ape, Goodrich Castle, Symonds Yat and the Taurus Crafts shops & cafe, but saw many other places we would've loved to explore if we'd had a longer stay. All were dog-friendly and lovely places to go (essential as my dog has separation anxiety so has to come everywhere with me). We loved our break in The Annexe and couldn't recommend it more highly as a place to stay.

  What a lovely welcome, and how reassuring that the cottage is absolutely spotless, as I said reassuring in these strange pandemic times, this cottage is warm, comfortable and very well equipped.

  The views are fantastic watching the sunrise and sunset. The people who own it were very friendly and welcoming, but totally unobtrusive. The lady who owns the house is very thoughtful as she kindly made me a gluten free cake being celiac . The locals were all very friendly and chatty, there are some lovely woodlands just 50yrds up the road wonderful for walking the dogs or just great for restoring your soul, I saw the buck stag several times. I loved it here it was warm quiet comfortable and as a woman on my own I felt completely safe at all times. I would recommend this place, don't hesitate to book you won't be disappointed. thank you Alan and Jane for a wonderful stay. Regards Vicky

  We stayed here for four days over new year whilst visiting family.

  We couldn't have asked for better, Alan and Jane made us feel very welcome indeed. They've thought of everything and little touches such as wine and homemade mince pies (absolutely delicious!) really added to our experience. The property itself is clean, comfortable and well equipped. It's the first time we've stayed anywhere with our dog and we were slightly nervous (would she settle, would she behave, what would we forget etc!), but The Annex proved to be incredibly dog-friendly. The garden is safe and secure, and there were bowls, poo bags and dog towels had we needed them. The Forest of Dean is a great place to explore with a dog and I'd recommend The Annex as a perfect base.

  A perfect stay in a perfect property.

  The Old Paper Shop is an ancient building, made comfortable and conveneient by careful updating and furnishing. The decor is beautifully in keeping with the age of the property. The bed is very comfy; the shower is excellent. The kitchen is tiny, but has been thoughtfully designed and provided with everything we could need, even down to salt and pepper! The property is right on a main street in the centre of Tewkesbury, but effective double (and then doubled again!) glazing meant we heard no traffic noise once inside. Tewkesbury itself and the surrounding countryside are full of picturesque and historic interest. We would defiitely recommend The Old Paper Shop.

  This is a really well designed and organised property, it is a good size for 2 people and has just about everything you could want.

  It is very nicely decorated and although not large it is uncluttered so feels quite spacious..The owners of this property live just across the courtyard and are really friendly and helpful and able to provide useful local knowledge. This is a very good base for walkers and there are some excellent local walks and places to visit from here. It is convenient for Bourton on the water and Stow on the Wold, with good restaurants and supermarkets close by. The location, has convenient access to a main road but is sufficiently removed from it via a long private drive to make this an idyllic rural location
