I was so happy when I found this rental and was just as pleased when I stepped inside. It was perfect. It was obviously an old building renovated so yes, the stairs are steep and slightly treacherous and my tall teenage boys bumped their heads more times than they liked but we all found that part of the charm (yes, even my three teenage boys fell in love with this place). The home was elegantly decorated and luxurious and had modern amenities. The owner made her guests feel welcome with flowers and flameless candles greeting us and on throughout our stay. The beds had perfect bedding on them and were comfortable. Bathrooms had a fun and quirky design to fit into the older space but both bathrooms were up to date, were clean, and easy to use. We had extra towels, ate off beautiful English china, and our family was able to spread out easily. The only two flaws we had was the bunk was very high and hot with no circulation and the fan just didn't reach so the teenager that was supposed to sleep there had to bunk with another because it was so uncomfortably hot. The second issue was parking was limited and a challenge every time we left. The town was charming and we ate at both pubs in town, enjoyed walking through St Andrew and its cemetery, and appreciated the boots provided to wade in the picturesque stream. I would eagerly recommend this home to anyone staying in the Cotswolds.
