  Cottage ideally situated in a stunning village about 10 minutes drive from Bourton-on-the-Water.

  Some essentials in the fridge on arrival which were much appreciated after a long drive. We stayed with our small toddler and dog. The garden was lovely and a BBQ is on site to use. A number of steps downstairs made things tricky with the baby, as did the open balustrades both downstairs and upstairs. A baby gate was provided but it was missing pieces to attach it to the wall(!). However, given this is a period property, this is somewhat to be expected but just something to note if you're planning to bring babies or toddlers. Cleanliness was also a bit of an issue: the surfaces in the cottage were dusty on arrival, the carpets hadn't been vacuumed upstairs and there was dirty cutlery in the kitchen drawers. We also found clothing from a previous guest in one of the bedroom cupboards..!

  Jayne is awfully kind, the cottage was immaculately cleaned upon arrival, and the welcome packet is sublime.

  And I find it hard to write the rest, as we found the cottage disappointing. The kitchen is tiny, the fridge is way too small if, like me, you order groceries for 5 days. It does just fit 2 days, at most. The kitchen lacks storage space, some shelves above the fridge would have made a positive difference. Downstairs in general is on the small side, upstairs is better, but without any proper wardrobes. Hooks on the wall instead. The windows throughout are difficult: some open, some don’t or miss the iron work to keep them open. The fire place doesn’t work properly, we ended up with the front door wide open to let the smoke get out of the front room. Not what you hope for on a chilly evening. All in all rather uncomfortable and disappointing.

  It was perfect.

  The lodge is just down the road from the town centre and there is a gorgoues walk 5 minute drive away next to the Indian takeout. With two tracks long and short which is great to do for a early morning stroll with your dog. Cannop ponds and sculpture trail are only 45 minute drive away. Woth Cheltenham town centre very close by although we did that much walking we didn’t visit here. The lodge is great. Lots of animals close by horses and chickens! Very clean and so quiet. No traffic noise just nature. The only thing we missed was a DVD player. We bought plently of games to play on the decking area and it was peaceful in the evenings to relax and get ready for the next day.

  We had a lovely relaxing peaceful stay at Gleed Cottage with our two dogs.

  We explored the local area and fell in love with the Cotswolds. The Black Horse pub 100m along the road was friendly and welcoming with good ale and excellent food and dog friendly.The cottage itself is perfect and just what we expected, it still retains its character and is warm and comfortable. The duvets and linen were to die for, made it hard to get out of bed! On our next visit we must remember our slippers, the flagstone floor, original I think, was a bit chilly once shoes were off. That is not a criticism just a reminder for us and other guests who visit this little treasure. A big thank you to owner Jayne, we will return.

  The cottage was in a perfect position for us wanting to travel around the area - The local Pub The Black Horse (2 mins away) was fantastic .

  ..good welcome, great food and super value !! The cottage is comfortable and as would be expected for a property of that age! As people of no experience with wood burning fires we did have a few difficulties initially !!! There were only two of us staying in the cottage and did not really have enough hot water - which only seemed available in the morning? We tried the dishwasher but it did not seem to heat up at all so did not really clean !!.......I am sure we could have asked but we decided not to bother as we were only there for a few days !! totally our decision!! but just for future clients ..........
