Location

Introduction

Our Guest House is in the centre of a quiet working village in the very heart of the Cotswolds countryside and offers four king size bedrooms, and a twin bedroom, all bedrooms with en-suite.

The Guesthouse is over three hundred years old and whilst we aim to meet the needs of all our guests there are some period features which might make access to some of the rooms on the first floor difficult for people with limited mobility. Access however to the main building and rooms situated within the garden is level. Ceiling is fairly low in the en-suite of the King Luxury room, but all other rooms have normal hight ceilings and doors. The Garden rooms contain baths with showers contained within them and all the other rooms have walk-in showers. Parts of the Guest House are of typical cottage proportions and not all are suitable for wheelchair users.

Pre-Arrival
