Absolutely perfect, fully self contained accommodation. Fantastic location, out in the countryside while also not to far from the city, supermarkets etc. Karen and Martin were great, pleasant to meet in the first place, checking in a few times to check if anything was needed (fresh sheets or towels etc). Should i need to visit this area again checking if I can stay here again would be at the top of my priority list. Many thanks Karen and Martin for a great stay.

Fantastic little annexe

Everything you would want in a holiday stay...immaculately clean, well appointed and equipped, fantastic secure outside space for our dog, very easily accessible from the motorway and an easy drive to Cheltenham and other beautiful places in the Cotswolds. This is definitely one of the best places we've stayed in. the owners were lovely and on hand if we needed them, which we did not -they really had thought of everything to make the stay perfect.

A little gem

Karen is such a wonderful host, she keeps the farm annex spotless. I've stayed here for three years now, and it still looks brand new. A perfect little getaway for a couple, and dog lovers. Very quiet, private location out in the Cotswold countryside.

Beautiful, spacious property

We really enjoyed our stay at the Annexe. The property is well equipped, spotlessly clean, in a quiet, remote location. The owners went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible, but allowing for early check in, late check out, providing a lovely welcome pack for us as well as our dog, and by checking in regularly (via text messages) to see if we needed anything. The garden is lovely and secure, the house is beautiful. I can't imagine a more perfect place for a short stay.

Perfect place to stay

Really can't fault this lovely property for two. Only sorry we couldn't bring our dog this time as he would have loved the enclosed garden and lovely walks from the front door. We both slept really well as the Annexe is just so peaceful and comfortable. The welcome pack makes "settling in" so much easier. Nothing is too much trouble for our lovely hosts. Thank you - we definitely hope to visit again!

Perfect stay

This little house on a farm is the perfect location for visiting Cheltenham and the rest of the Cotswolds. Karen and Martin are very nice hosts. The house has everything you need and more. By arrival you get a nice package of treats for people and the dog! The house is super clean, very good bed, television with access to Netflix and a small but nice garden. The house has only a ground floor what perfect is for a little dog. The garden is fenced. We surely come back!

Fantastic home

I’ve stayed at dozens of VBRO properties over the years and this is one of the absolute best. Karen’s attention to detail on even the smallest thoughtful items was amazing. Karen checked in several times to insure everything was going well. The fittings, furnishings and amenities were all First Class. Can unreservedly recommend to even most discerning guests.
