The perfect get away for 2! For us it was an ideal location to travel to lots of local places of interest like; Gloucester, Puzzlewood & even a quick trip to Wales. Good sized space & the bathroom/shower is such a good size (compared to lots of other places we have stayed). I don’t think there was anything missing from everything you needed for cooking, making teas/drinks etc. We are both really happy with our stay and great value for money!
