Delightful countryside escape, with some...
Liked: Richard was very friendly and accommodating thorough out stay in the property. Freshly cooked breakfast and wonderful cozy fireplace to relax after dinner were the absolute highlights. Humphrey the cat and his cuddly attention also made their mark :)
Disliked: The bed wasn't very comfortable (sinked in the middle as it was too soft) and walls weren't very sound proof - you could hear next room's conversations very clearly. Our room specified private bathroom but it was outside the room. One of the days we ended up having to shower with cold water as the tank had run out of hot one. They confirmed they are upgrading the capacity to a bigger one.

It was a nice house,...
Liked: The breakfast was lovely. The location was good for where we needed to be (between the start and finish points of a section of the Severn Way). We were on a walking holiday and taking packed lunches. The host kindly kept our food in their fridge (pre-arranged).
Disliked: 1. It might be good to include a warning about the state of one of the roads to the B&B. It was steep, narrow & riddled with potholes. The alternative route was fine but we didn't know about that until we'd arrived in the dark on the Friday evening and used the bad road.2. The description provided about walking across the garden isn't great. We arrived in the dark. There were a few garden lights on but they didn't really light the way very well. A sensor light came on but it didn't cast much light where it needed to be. We had to go carefully on a narrow path, with rucksacks & bags, between the house and the bank of a garden, and shrubs (some prickly) were trailing branches over our path. One of us has impaired vision and one is unsteady on feet, having suffered a break and a sprain.3. The double bed was very uncomfortable. Way too soft, there was a hump down the middle from which the mattress sloped out to both edges of the bed; we struggled to keep ourselves in the bed. I always sleep well wherever I am and this was the 2nd worst night's sleep I've ever had.4. No warning about the twin room being next to the boiler, which kept my friends awake.5. There was shampoo in the shower but no soap for either of the sinks. This was provided when we asked about it.6. In looking for the soap, we found this - see attached pic! It was the same in both bathrooms.7. Rooms were very dusty. 8. There was a problem with the electricity. Kettle in double room blew, some of the lights in the property went off. The next day when I used the hairdryer in the same socket the kettle had been in, the hairdryer went off, and at the same time my friend was in the shower and the water went cold.

Liked: I really nice old farm house in a quiet Cotswolds nook, not too far from the Cotswolds Way. Charles cooked us a delicious breakfast as well.

Liked: Lovely friendly gentleman who gave us a warm welcome. He was very accomadating and allowed me to leave my stuff early in the morning while I went to the wedding venue to get ready with the bride and he brought my suitcases to my room.

Very poor
Liked: The scenary was beautiful and Humphry the cat was very welcoming.
Disliked: Very strong smell of dog wee. Upstairs carpet on the landing was full of what looked like marks from dogs peeing. No locks on bedroom doors. Bathroom toilet seat wasn't even fitted on. Every time anyone so much as turned a tap on or flushed a toilet it would set a rather loud pump off. Not funny when your trying to sleep. Sold as a Deluxe room, far from it. Upstairs hall light hanging off. We do have a dog of our own and have stayed in places with our dog so do understand that it is hard to keep a place 100% free from doggie smells. I could go on but these are the main points we were not happy with. It appears the owners have just given up on the place. Which is a shame as the building is beautiful and the gentlemen was very pleasant. I really hope this review is not taken as malicious in any shape or form. I leave this review in the hope that the owners click on, on what needs to be changed to make it a pleasant stay for future guests. Get them carpets professionally cleaned.
