  Lovely little house only a few minutes from the centre of Tewkesbury.

  Downstairs has a kitchen and living room , really comfortable sofas and a nice size tv which is unusual for lettings. The shower room downstairs was also handy . Upstairs there is a bathroom , landing area and nice size bedroom with a really comfortable bed and lots of bedding . We were concerned it would be cold and took throws etc but it wasn’t at all and infact we turned the thermostat down to 10c at night . Nice walks along the river , beautiful Christmas Eve service at the Abbey , some lovely meals out and we followed the heritage trail found on a booklet looking at the beautiful Tudor houses on a Christmas Day walk . Very near to our daughter in Cheltenham and nice to explore a new town . The bedroom, living areas and bathrooms were nice and clean . The only disappointing things we encountered was the fact that the kitchen could do with a really deep clean . The dish cloth really smelt and I had to soak it in boiled water and a little bleach before use . The kitchen drawers and cupboards had lots of crumbs etc . I emptied the cutlery drawer and washed it all and got rid of all the stains and crumbs but didn’t want to do any others on my holiday . The condiments and teas also need a good sort out as many have expired . This was also the only cottage we have ever been to that didn’t have a welcome pack . Some milk for a cup of tea etc would have been nice on arrival to save us going back out for it after our long drive . We really enjoyed our stay despite these little niggles and it was a lovely little Christmas.

  A well equipped holiday cottage, well sited for Tewksbury Abbey (at the end of the street and well worth a visit in its own right) and the numerous eateries in the town centre.

  (The Salerno in particular being well worth a visit or as a place to get a good quality takeaway, as well as the Chocolate Café). The cottage is cosy with good central heating and comfortable beds, although the 2nd Floor bedroom can take a while to heat up. The TV is supplemented by a DVD player and SKY TV (without movies and Sport but with pretty much everything else). The range cooker is very effective and both fridge and freezer are a useful size. The only possible negative is that the stairs are quite steep and although not a problem for us may be for someone with mobility issues. The shower is powerful for an electric unit and the bath is of a good size. The only additional things that would have been useful which weren't provided were a reasonable size teapot and tea cosy and sharp "steak knives" for eating meat. The cottage is also well sited for visiting the Malvern Hills (30)", Bredon (10") both great for walking dogs, Symonds Yat and the Forest of Dean, the Severn Valley Railway and Stratford Upon Avon (All about 40" away). Again all worth Visiting. We were very happy with our choice of cottage as was our dog who found the little garden intriguing. We would happily recommend this to anyone looking for a comfortable cottage to stay in.

  Lovely little cottage, perfectly situated being close to the town centre (1 minute walk) and the Severn Ham walk and river(30 seconds) and Victoria Gardens literally across the road!

  The cottage was very well equipped, but we would like to echo other reviews of this cottage in that the two sofas are very uncomfortable and look very tired! It would be nice to have an additional frying pan and baking tray in the kitchen. There were plenty of toilet rolls, cleaning equipment and lovely toiletries provided. A nice touch was the welcome pack of bread and milk! The towels have all seen better days! As others have said, parking can be an issue and can add to the price of the holiday - you can get 24 hours parking after 5.30pm in the long stay car park at the back of Victoria Gardens for £4 but there is only 50 spaces so on a busy day it might be tricky. We did try to contact the owner by text with a minor question but he did not respond and the alternative number for his daughter was missing a digit. The beds are very comfortable and it’s nice to have a small garden to sit in. We would definitely use this cottage again as a base for exploring all the beautiful countryside in this area. A huge plus is that Tewkesbury is a very dog friendly town and people were very welcoming!

  We wanted somewhere near the Cotswolds but with a bit of character.

  River Cottage had it all and was clearly described in the entry - it exceeded our expectations and the location was spot-on: close to the town but with countryside and walks literally across the road. Parking could be frustrating but in reality wasn't too much of a problem during our stay. It just needs planning! The cottage was well equipped with everything one needed; clean and welcoming atmosphere with good WiFi throughout all the rooms. The bed was really comfortable and we loved the 14th Century feel to the place (and the neighbourhood). The Malvern Hills and highlights of the Cotswolds all seemed to be 30mins or less away. The Forest of Dean was only a little further but there's also such a lot to see in Tewkesbury itself, just round the corner (literally). It would be good to have another, longer visit to explore this delightful area in more detail from such a central base.

  Just back from a 2 night break at Avonmede.

  We had a lovely time - the cottage was very cute and cozy, well equipped with everything we needed for our short stay. The owners had left a welcome basket with butter, jam, marmalade, biscuits, bread and even a bottle of wine for us and provided a dog bed, biscuits and blanket for our pooch, which were all thoughtful touches. We thought it was funny that the dog bed was really for a much smaller dog than our German Shepherd but she tried to get into it nonetheless! The property is well positioned to easily walk around the town and down along side the river and is within easy reach of several pubs - one right opposite, which was very handy and dog friendly too. The hot tub is an added bonus, and it was lovely to relax in it after our long day out walking. I will be recommending to my friends and family with dogs - most excellent.
