E. THE TURN OFF FOR BREAM RD IS ONLY 100 YARDS NOT TWO, AND THE PROPERTY IS QUITE A WAY UP ON THE RIGHT, APART FROM THAT THE PROPERTY IS AS DESCRIBED. WE REALLY ENJOYED OUT STAY.

Very well appointed for exploring the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside (you do need a car). Parking right next to the cottage for one car and access to the beautiful multi stepped garden was perfect for our doggy to explore. A lovely forest walk nearby was also a great place to take her for a walk (no paths so a little bit dicey walking on the side of the road). The cottage itself is furnished to an extremely high standard and is extremely comfortable. Two good sized rooms with very comfortable beds and pillows. Open plan dining room and kitchen was very stylish and kitchen was the best equipped self catering kitchen Iâve ever been to! You would easily be able to make simple meals here without any hassle. Bathroom quite small but nicely done, electric shower ok and plenty of hot water. Lovely veranda looking out on stunning views, a great place to have your morning cuppa! Would definitely come back, thank you!
