About the host
Hosted by Neil Rawson
A warm welcome awaits you! I'm a London native who's called the beautiful Cotswolds home for the past 25 years.
As a married mother of two, plus one furry friend, I understand the importance of creating a comfortable and relaxing space for families and individuals alike.
My background is diverse, working in film and tv including time at the BBC, and currently as a healthcare assistant in our local hospital A&E, as well as a qualified reflexologist (treatments available onsite - Cotswold Reflexology).
I love meeting new people and sharing my passion for this stunning area. Whether you're here to explore the charming villages, enjoy scenic dog walks (a personal favorite!), or simply unwind, I'm dedicated to ensuring you have a memorable stay. I look forward to hosting you.
