A perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds
Before arriving at the property, we received an email with the what3words location, but unfortunately suffered weak phone signal as we approached. Luckily, the parking space was easy to find but we didn't find the actual property immediately as this wasn't so obvious. We were glad it was still daylight when we arrived.
Firstly the positives.
This is a perfectly situated property for exploring Tetbury and the Cotswolds, with many walks starting from the market place just across the road. The parking space is a God's send and Tetbury itself is a brilliant place for antique shipping, eating out and independent shops. This was our first visit to the Cotswolds and we were not disappointed in Tetbury.
However
We messaged the owner shortly after arrival to bring a broken chair and two broken dinner plates to the owners attention but received no response. It felt a bit strange 2 days later to receive an email saying that a damage bond would be taken from us. This felt like an automated message which was sent out of sequence, but felt a little odd after we'd mentioned the damaged items. (However, no bond was actually taken)
We've stayed in many cottages around the country and prefer to mostly self cater. There was absolutely no storage for food whatsoever, so our week's food shopping took over part of the kitchen table during our week's stay which was quite inconvenient.
Some reviews had mentioned how well stocked the kitchen was, but with no work surfaces, potato masher, jugs, weigh scales, or oven gloves, we found it a challenge.
The property is comfortable and was really clean, but we didn't appreciate (from the photos) just how close to the flat next door's walls and fire escape were to the windows. And if creepy gothic vibes are your thing, then you're gonna love this bathroom 😀 and we didn't realise beds even existed that big!
It would have been nice to have been able to adjust the central heating, but the controls appeared to be locked away in the upstairs cupboard. The heating system making regular knocking noise, throughout the evenings.
Overall though we did enjoy our stay in Tetbury, though it wasn't quite what we expected.
