“Lovely property, great for a family with a wide age range.”

- Sarah, September 2024
Fiona September 2024

“We had a lovely stay at Avalon.”

We made use of all the facilities which are brilliant. Love the island in the kitchen and the Nespresso machne. It took me a while to get to grips with the gas oven (mine is all electric) but still managed to make some lovely meals. The lovely Debbie came every day to check the hot tub. Really wished I had booked for longer as the week went so quickly.

- Fiona, September 2024

Love this so much x appreciate the feedback, please return whenever you like. Property Owner
Kay September 2024

“A lovely 2 night stay - Thankyou so much .”

Just need to pressure wash / fix bowed decking by hot tub - maybe do not use the steps / very slippy . Also just near the patio area walking by the pergola - a beautiful place however xx

Susan August 2024

“We had a great time 6 adults 3 children and two dogs were all extremely well catered for in a lovely home.”

The home cinema and games room especially popular. I would certainly recommend you to friends and family and hopefully make a return visit

- Susan, August 2024

Thankyou so much x Property Owner

A July 2024

“What a fantastic place, so clean and fresh.”

Amazing garden, games room and Hot tub. Beds are comfortable. Very well maintained to a very high standard. We was all meant to be going out in the Friday evening for food but after we arrived we opted to stay in as was such a beautiful place. The photos on the website surly didn't do it justice. Very happy ladies and a wonderful weekend

- A, July 2024

Thankyou so much for the positive feedback, such a lot goes into making it comfortable it feels wonderful when recognised. Glad you had a great holiday. Property Owner
Carol July 2024

“Great stay at Avalon for 3 nights in July.”

The property was perfect for our needs but is listed as having 4 bathroom - in fact one en-suite, one family bathroom ( where shower js over bath ) and 2 loo / sinks . As we all preferred walk in shower the only one was in en suite so got a lot of use . The hot tub was great and it was pleasing to see some one come in to check the ‘levels’ . The cinema room was to be used to watch England football in euros but after half hour trying to work - 4 different remotes - and making contact with owner on text we gave in and went to watch on small lounge tv . The owner was at work and unable to spend a lot of time assisting but all of this could have been avoided if instructions provided Another easy fix would be to label the numerous keys so easy to work out which one for different Outbuilding Having said all that we did enjoy and very nice part of the country so some where to consider returning to

Olivia May 2024

“Myself and 5 friends stayed at Avalon for the weekend and it was FANTASTIC.”

We had everything we needed to enjoy a special occasion. The facilities were top drawer, ample space, lovely garden, epic cinema room, amazing hot tub and a lovely setting. We couldn't recommend it highly enough!!!!! The other girls enjoyed the hot tub and I enjoyed the sky sports package.

- Olivia, May 2024
Jonathan May 2024

“We had an amazing stay here with friends.”

The children were kept occupied and really enjoyed the hot tub, games room and cinema room. Our dog loved the garden and it was fully enclosed so he could run around freely.

- Jonathan, May 2024
Sally May 2024

“We had a fabulous time.”

We had a little issue when we got there but the owner was really great in resolving this . The house is amazing. Has everything you need. We all really enjoyed ourselves. As a group of 4 ladies. We regularly go away together to catch up and fill our happy cups and relax. This place didn't dissapoint. I would definitely come back. Thanks so much ...

- Sally, May 2024
Christine April 2024

“Avalon is perfect for a family get together.”

Plenty of room for everyone. We were a group of eight from 75 to 13yoa. Hot tub, games room and cinema room proved a great hit. The garden is very secure for four legged family members, our cocker spaniel loved it. All sitting round a large dining table of an evening in the lovely dining room was especially memorable catching up with each other, discussing the area etc. Certainly brilliant for fun and games with all the family.

- Christine, April 2024
Hannah November 2023

“We had a lovely stay, however, just to make you aware one of the decking planks by the side of the hot tub is not very stable and the whole decking area was very very slippy in the colder weather.”

Obviously you can not control the weather but maybe some more none slip mats could be put down and the loose plank fixed. One of our party did in fact slip on the hot tub steps which were positioned on the loose plank and she quite badly bruised her leg, so am advising you to avoid anyone injury in the future. Other than that the property ticked all our boxes and we had a lovely stay. Thank you

- Hannah, November 2023
Russell November 2023

“Amazing property to stay at, so many things to keep you occupied.”

Thinking of making this an annual event and talked to others about visiting as well. Local pubs are not open so it’s the local social club that’s the option unless you want to drive. Brill stay all in all

- Russell, November 2023
Susannah October 2023

“Lovely property with great facilities.”

I wonderful place to relax.

- Susannah, October 2023
Amanda September 2023

“The cottage is lovely but could do with some fresh paint.”

It does look a bit sad from the outside. Also we were not told that the dishwasher had broken so that was not ideal. A note could have been left or we could have been emailed in advance. The breakfast bar chairs look like they could do with replacing. Apart from that, a lovely place to stay in a lovely area.

- Amanda, September 2023

Apologies Amanda New stools have been ordered will be situe next week Dishwasher inconvenience I know, especially on hols, I did have an engineer visit as quick as I could and is now good to go. With this in the forefront of my mind I did send an email straightaway to let you know. This must have been missed so again apologies within the email I mentioned that to make up for this inconvenience we left two bottles of wine and extra Nespresso capsules. Again apologies all feedback welcome. Property Owner
Scott June 2023

“This was our second stay at Avalon and again it did not disappoint.”

On arrival the house was spotlessly clean and everything was as advertised. The garden is huge and excellent for our dogs to have complete freedom whilst allowing us to relax knowing they were safe. The village is very quiet but you are within easy reach of Gloucester, Cirencester and other towns of the Cotswolds. The Hot Tub is a brilliant extra which helped us relax and forget about work etc. Will definitely be looking to book again in the future

- Scott, June 2023
Ruth June 2023

“The property fulfilled all of our requirements and was great value.”

It was very clean and well equipped. We had excellent weather and the pergola was brilliant, enabling us to eat outside all the time, but it wouldn't have been a problem if it had rained as there are plenty of things to do. Watching the Champions League final in the cinema room was amazing! Dog walking was excellent, a bit hilly at times but compensated by the views. We had 2 meals out at lovely venues within 10 minute drives. Sainsburys is 10 minutes away, and a small Co-op 5 minutes walk. We didn't want to leave at the end which probably says it all.

- Ruth, June 2023
Pamela April 2023

“A beautiful home which gave us everything we were looking for.”

Space enough for family time plus many areas if you wanted to do something different. Loved the movie room, jacuzzi and games room, plus the garden is spacious. We loved it. Actually thinking of making our stay an annual event. If I was to make a suggestion it would be TV in master bedroom but not important.

- Pamela, April 2023

Thankyou kindly for your feedback, happy to have you again x Property Owner
Marilyn April 2023

“Very clean house.”

Hot tub very well maintained. Top double room small for two adults. All other bedrooms were great. There is only one en-suite. Very large bathroom used by all the other guests. Plenty of toilets on each floor. Games room and cinema room a real bonus. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this house to our friends.

- Marilyn, April 2023

Thankyou x glad you had a lovely break Property Owner
Neil March 2023

“Great, spacious property, with excellent facilities: We were spoilt for choice with the cinema room, games room and hot tub proving to be really popular with the family.”

The kitchen was superbly equipped and we loved the Range cooker! Lots of options for places to visit within a reasonable driving distance, with Bath and Cirencester our favourites. Owner was friendly and helpful with making arrangements for our stay. We would thoroughly recommend 'Avalon' as a perfect destination for a family get away.

- Neil, March 2023

Thankyou kindly for your positive feedback. The Avalon team work hard to ensure Avalon is at its best. Property Owner
Caroline March 2023

“We had an enjoyable stay at Avalon.”

The house was clean, tidy and spacious. Kitchen fully stocked with cooking accessories, crockery etc. Cinema Room, Games Room and hot tub a big plus. Warmest hot tub we have ever had! Slight issue with Sky, but spoke to owner who was sorting it out. Lovely and safe garden for our dogs. Really like our privacy so was concerned about hot tub being checked every day, but lady was very discreet and came and went very quickly with a smile and a wave. We all enjoyed our time there.

- Caroline, March 2023
Dawn January 2023

“We stayed at Avalon for my sons 18th birthday.”

The hot tub, games room and cinema were an instant hit for him and his friends. Beautiful house, really clean with well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Good communication with owners and housekeeper. Would definitely return and recommend to friends.

- Dawn, January 2023
Emilie December 2022

“Spent a fab few days over New Year here with friends.”

Brilliant house, location, everything. We hardly saw the kids as they were watching films or playing pool! Definitely recommend.

- Emilie, December 2022
Nicola December 2022

“The house was a lovely spacious property and had many facilities that enabled us to have a great Christmas break with our family especially the cinema room, games room and hot tub.”

There were a few minor issues that we came across during our stay which did not impact on our overall experience so we did not feel the need to bring them up with the owners during the stay. However we did leave a list highlighting these issues when we left so that the owners had a chance to rectify the problems for any future guests. Overall we were extremely pleased with the property and would happily return again in the future.

- Nicola, December 2022
Joanne December 2022

“This place is fab!”

!!! The house is very thought out & has all the amenities you need! Log burner is great to snuggle down to in the lounge, beds super comfy, kitchen bright & airy! Big garden with the added extras of the cinema room & games room! Can’t wait to return in the summer….

- Joanne, December 2022
Emma December 2022

“Lovely property with everything you could possibly need.”

We had a fab time!

- Emma, December 2022
Scott September 2022

“We booked Avalon as it looked like an ideal place for us as a family for the weekend, to unwind and spend some quality time together.”

It certainly delivered from the first contact with the owners everything was great. On arrival we were amazed at how much space there was and how clean the whole property appeared. We made use of the Hot Tub on the first night which was so relaxing, even had plastic glasses provided so we could enjoy a cold glass of fizz. In the morning whilst playing ball with the dogs in the garden the lady arrived to check the chemical levels in the tub, she was extremely friendly and helpful. All in all excellent stay nice local pubs and superb facilities which we made full use of. Will definitely be booking again

- Scott, September 2022

That’s made our day. Thankyou Property Owner
Chantel August 2022

“Avalon is a lovely home from home holiday.”

It has everything you could need. The added extras of hot tub, pool table, table tennis, cinema room is great. There is lots of space. The fridge dispensing ice is great too. Thank you Dani and Dave Also Thank you to Debbie, the house was lovely and clean, very friendly and very good local knowledge

- Chantel, August 2022
Lesley August 2022

“Just spent an amazing week at Avalon.”

We booked the house for 2 adults, 2 older teenagers and a dog, thinking that the games room and hot tub would be great if the weather was bad. Well it's been a super scorchio week and those facilities have been well used as we couldn't face going out in 30+ degrees! The garden is huge and as well as football, badminton, frisbee etc, offers lots of deep shade. We took several early morning walks up into the woods and found the Cotswold Way - beautiful woods and views, free car park also available. Found the Soho Bakery which was fab, jaunts into Stroud for the Saturday farmers market and Gloucester for the Quays outlet centre. Ben's Chinese takeaway is the best we've ever had! Will definitely be coming back again. Hosts responded instantly with two minor issues. House is immaculate. Brilliant holiday!

- Lesley, August 2022
Kate April 2022

“We had a wonderful time celebrating my husbands 30th birthday.”

House was beautifully furnished, clean, spacious and welcoming. Plenty of things to do and games to play. My partner especially enjoyed the cinema room and our friends spent a lot of time in the lovely big hot tub. Would definitely come back for a family Holliday. Many Thanks!

- Kate, April 2022

Thankyou Kate x Property Owner
Elise March 2022

“Great weekend enjoyed by three generations of the same family.”

Huge secure garden with lots of games equipment to keep the kids entertained. The hot tub was the favourite of all of us & we were blessed with really warm weather that weekend. Lovely lady came to check the water quality every morning. The house is spacious, very comfortable & very well equipped. I highly recommend this lovely house.

- Elise, March 2022

Thankyou so much for this lovely review, you have made Debbie’s day. Really pleased you had a lovely break. Debbie, Dani and Dave Property Owner

“We stayed in Avalon for Christmas 2021, the house was absolutely beautiful.”

We especially loved the hot tub and the cinema room. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for a perfect holiday.

Thankyou kindly for this, Debbie works very hard to keep standards high. Very pleased you had a magical Christmas. Property Owner

We had a 5 nyt stay at Avalon for my dad's 70th birthday, and we had a fantastic time something for everyone ,we have a 15 year old and a 9 year old and they loved it especially the pool table and hot tub

- Brett, December 2021
Kate October 2021

“The house and facilities were outstanding.”

We were quite surprised at the location as hadn’t expected the area to be as residential/built up. The house made up for this and we explored walks beyond the village.

- Kate, October 2021
Steven September 2021

“Thank you for a great long weekend.”

House was great, plenty of space inside and out with lots of spares of everything (e.g. lightbulbs, batteries) a nice touch, along with the bottles of Prosecco and milk to welcome us after a long drive. Loads of games/activities in the house, garden and games room to keep folk busy, more than we had time to enjoy! Cleaner for hot tub who comes daily very friendly when we bumped into her in the garden one morning. All round a great time had by all, thank you!

- Steven, September 2021
Sarah September 2021

“We booked Avalon for the weekend to celebrate our sons 18th Birthday, he was bringing some friends along so it needed to be spacious!”

Avalon very much exceeded my expectations, it was spacious, comfortable and luxurious with lovely character to the house. The cinema room was fabulous, the kids set up camp there and only left to find food, it even had its own fridge and toilet! The games rooms was also a lot of fun and a great extra space to hang out in. The house itself is extremely well equipped we easily fed and watered 8 of us from the kitchen and dining areas. Plenty of clean cosy bedding and options for twins/doubles across the 4 bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms and toilets too which avoided any queues! The hot tub is a fabulous touch and kept so clean with Debbie attending (very quietly) every morning to check it and top up any required chemicals. The owners are easily contactable for advice and tips and were so responsive with our questions about takeaways locally! We didn’t explore the local area as were there to just relax and enjoy the house and garden (garden is massive and so well cared for which our dogs especially loved!). No negatives about this place and I’m looking for a reason to go back! Thank you to the owners for providing and maintaining this lovely place to stay.

- Sarah, September 2021
Ann September 2021

“Obviously with the house in constant use it’s difficult to carry out any maintenance but there were a few things which needed a little attention and a coat of paint in places would help as well.”

Very well equipped and spacious and with fine weather the outside facilities were well used, a larger bbq would be very useful. The host was helpful and communicated with us when outside workmen were arriving ( window cleaners and hot tub maintenance)

- Ann, September 2021
Annemarie August 2021

“We've just had a fantastic week staying in Avalon; it was so much more than a house to stay in for the week.”

We visited beautiful or fun places in the surrounding area every day with the kids but the house definitely allows you to include 'staying at the house' as an activity for kids and adults. The garden is a great size for football, tag, letting the dog burn off some energy; we played darts, pool, had popcorn and watched films in the cinema room (which is separate to the main house), enjoyed the jacuzzi every day, used the fire pit to toast marshmallows, BBQ'd and dined outside - it was great. The house is really well stocked with glasses and cutlery which means as a large family we didn't feel we had to constantly clean to function. Thank you!

- Annemarie, August 2021
Simon August 2021

“This house in general is fantastic, however it is let down by simple things.”

Ie .. no scouring pads, no kindling/fire lighters, cobwebs all over the outside lights and seating area outside by the stove. A dog poo in its bag left on the drive ! The jacuzzi was green on arrival and don’t believe it was looked at until Monday ( could be wrong ) fortunately we knew about jacuzzi’s so treated it daily ourselves and even had to do a “ shock “ treatment on it as the levels were so off ! Really disappointed with the 2 teabags, no coffee or sugar ! A few basic herbs would of been nice, or even better a welcome hamper ! Garden really needs looking after better ! Grass long on arrival and was cut at 7.50pm 2 nights before we left, pots full of weeds as is the drive. Such a shame as the house and outdoor space is so family friendly. It just needs a little more love and care shown to it.

- Simon, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We were sorry to hear of the issues you had with the hot tub. We do have the hot tub checked on a daily basis and were not made aware of any issues during your stay. We do hope that our guests contact us as soon as any issues do arise so that we are able to rectify these speedily. Unfortunately the weather was against us before your stay and too wet for us to mow the grass and the grass was cut as soon as we were able to. All essentials are left such as as in dishwasher tablets, new j cloth, tea towel, black bin bags, coffee, tea, sugar, coffee pods for the coffee machine and a complimentary bottle of Prosecco to wish you well on your holiday.

“Avalon was advertised as a cottage for 9 people.”

We were a family group of 9 - 6 of whom were adults. Due to the covid situation and hospitality just opening up we paid an absolute premium for this property (£3000+) as there were not many properties available for our requirements. In our opinion, this property should have been at least half the price. I don't normally complain but when you spend this much money you expect a certain standard. Our main issue with our stay was that there was nowhere big enough for us all to be together socialising. It was true that the table from the kitchen could be put together with the other table in the dining room but it was cramped to say the least. The living room only had 2 2-seater sofas and there were no other chairs so this set up just didn't work for us. The bedrooms were fairly nice except the top double room - the bed was right under the low ceiling beam - ie when you turned over you could easily hit your face on it. The decorating/finish in the house was awful - ripped wallpaper, wallpapering done and cut around shelves, horrendous paint jobs, main bathroom tiles - sealant everywhere etc. Several things broke when we were there including the tap handle - luckily my husband fixed this. Outside was a terrible disappointment, it was a lovely large space but we had the fear of god put into us about respecting the neighbours in the welcome pack. The garden had a large shipping container in one corner and a ramshackle canvas structure in the other which was basically used to store wood and lawnmower etc. There were weeds everywhere in the parking area and patio area, and overgrown plants everywhere - also around the windows of the house. There were not enough of the nice chairs to go around the table for outdoor dining and the other set of wooden ones were on their last legs and in a very sorry state. The side of the house, the grass wasn't even cut and broken items left around. The hot tub was a nice addition but only 2 sets of jets worked properly so not great if there were more than 2 of us in there. On the last day it was smelly and a funny colour. So overall the property was very run down and needed quite a lot of tlc and they definitely shouldn't have charged so much for it.

- Hannah, July 2021
Stephen June 2021

“Hosts were great from start to finish the house is lovely and has a charming outside area which we made the most of during the recent hot weather.”

It felt like we were in France for enjoying a drink or two on the outdoors patio. Thanks again

- Stephen, June 2021

“Loads to keep all ages entertained for a rainy week”

“Perfect place for a well deserved break”

- Tony, October 2020
Henrietta October 2020

“The space and layout of the property, were ideal.”

And the outdoor facilities were a real bonus, especially the hot tub. The house is well equipped and comfortable. For a large house, it would be useful to have more than one walk in shower in the property. We found it difficult to work out how to set up the equipment In the cinema room, it could have done with some instructions, and we weren’t able to align the projector with the screen, and some of the furnishings were very tatty. The garden needed tidying up to, and generally a bit of talc. But overall the property met our needs, and we enjoyed our stay.

- Henrietta, October 2020
John August 2020

“Lovely house with great facilities.”

Local taxi firm were brilliant. Cards were left at the house with contact number. Would love to visit again sometime.

- John, August 2020
Kelly August 2020

“Holiday cottage lived up to our expectations and we had a great stay.”

We found under the current circumstances it could have had been cleaned With more detail as we had to do a few extra cleaning bits ourself. Also the property has some great outdoor facilities and is advertised for families/groups but were made aware of sensitive neighbours if we were having to much fun on our holidays, this was also reflected by many comments in the guests book. This was a massive shame as it makes you weary of being in the garden enjoying the surroundings and extensive facilities especially when it’s too hot to be in the cottage and your on your holiday. Overall we had a great break at this cottage But I don’t think we would return due to the neighbours which is a great shame as the cottage is a great place to spend a family get away.

- Kelly, August 2020
Julia March 2020

“Communication and helpfulness of house owner was excellent!”

Dani made us feel incredibly welcome and made it clear we were to enjoy her home.

- Julia, March 2020
Elizabeth February 2020

“The house was fantastic and had everything we needed as a group of 8.”

The games room was a great space to spend family time and we really enjoyed the hot tub too. We took extras like t-towels, dishwasher tablets etc but all this was provided for us which was fantastic. There was plenty of firewood for the Wood burner and made the house super cosy. The surrounding area was gorgeous and had plenty to do. We will definitely be back.

- Elizabeth, February 2020
Richard December 2019

“Fantastic location and house.”

Perfect service in every way and would definitely stay here again.

- Richard, December 2019
Jackie November 2019

“We had the best weekend celebrating my mum’s birthday so there was a range of ages there from 9-60 with plenty to do for everyone, the games room was a hit especially with the projector screen.”

We would definitely visit again, probably when the warmer weather hits us so we can enjoy the hot tub even more and enjoy the outdoors more

- Jackie, November 2019
Sarah October 2019

“Nice place but not worth the money.”

Kitchen full of leaks All walls different colours Damp all round house Hot tub was great if it was actually working right Kitchen not equipped for cooking Needs a new cooker that actually works. Garden not safe for kids big tent in garden full off wood and lawn mower . Trampoline broke

- Sarah, October 2019
Laura September 2019

“Really lovely house, ideal for a girls' weekend away.”

We had a great time. More mirrors and an additional shower would be useful, but we would return regardless of this. :-)

- Laura, September 2019
Zoe August 2019

“It would have been great to have all the keys labelled!”

It was very confusing, trying to figure out which key fit which door. The hottub could have been a lot hotter, we just couldn't get the water to a hot enough temperature. This isn't your fault, but it's important to note that the area smelled very strongly of manure a lot of the time due to spreading on the fields nearby. It was unfortunate!

- Zoe, August 2019
Christine August 2019

“The house was amazing with little details thought about like games for all ages”

- Christine, August 2019
Charlie August 2019

“Description didn't mention a few things.”

E.g trampoline, toilet in outhouse and ground floor. A floor plan would have been really helpful.

- Charlie, August 2019
David June 2019

“We stayed for 3 nights for a 50th birthday, from the moment we arrived and opened the door we were impressed, the house was spotless and had every amenity we needed, and quite a few more, We were particularly keen on the hot tub which was fabulous, the kids loved the gamesroom and table tennis table as well as the football goals, also watching Glastonbury on the huge screen was almost like being there .”

We spent a lot of time in the garden as the weather was good and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the stay. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend Avalon to anyone who wants a spacious, well equipped and comfortable base to explore the cotswolds or just wants a quiet time away. Plus the owners live close by and were incredibly helpful and quick to reply to any queries we had with the house or just the area in general. Thank you very much for a very memorable weekend

- David, June 2019
Cathy April 2019

“Fantastic house with hot tub, games rooms and plenty of things to do.”

Very comfortable beds. House was very clean though dust on top of the fridge and old sock in twin room! Owners were extremely helpful at all times. Showering was tricky as only one proper shower in the house. Could do with another stand up shower as there were 8 adults. Another shower would be great in the garden rooms to help with showering before entering the hot tub. Brilliant media room and we loved the outdoor log burner.

- Cathy, April 2019
Michael March 2019

“The 8ft projector the whole place was great”

- Michael, March 2019
Caroline December 2018

“The house was perfect for a family get together at Christmas.”

We were not expecting the house to be decorated, so the Christmas tree, lights and decorations were a lovely surprise when we arrived - as was the bottle of prosecco! We were a group of mixed ages and the hot tub, cinema/games room were great for the kids. A problem with the sound in the cinema room was promptly dealt with by the owners, despite it being Christmas Eve, which was much appreciated. The location of the property was really good - a short walk from a shop so we could pick up any food/drink items as required but also lots of great walks with the dogs in the fields beyond the village and up onto the ridge. I think we will be back!

- Caroline, December 2018
Ian November 2018

“We had our annual pre Christmas family gathering here and loved.”

.. drinks by the fire .... hot tub ... table tennis ... great food in the big dining room. Enjoyed a round of golf and a trip to Stroud too!

- Ian, November 2018
Max October 2018

“The house was really nice, all facilities you could need were there and the house was very clean and tidy.”

We would definitely stay again.

- Max, October 2018
Carys September 2018

“Recently visited for a weekend away with 9 people.”

The Cottage is truly great. Very clean, lovely interior, great facilities. Everyone in the group loved the property. Plenty of space for everyone. Obviously we loved having use of the hot tub, easy to use, spacious and ready to go upon arrival! Didn't make use of the big cinema room or pool table etc due to time constraints but again, great option to have. We were also able to visit Cheltenham which was just over a half hour journey away by taxi. Thanks for a great stay!

- Carys, September 2018
Felicity September 2018

“A beautiful, comfortable house with luxurious hot tub, cinema room and games room, a lovely garden all less than a 5 minute drive from Stonehouse train station!”

This house was perfect for our holiday and the owner couldn't have been more attentive. I would definitely recommend this property.

- Felicity, September 2018
Andrew June 2018

“Great cottage, plenty of room, awesome garden & facilities”

Shirley May 2018

“This was an extremely well equipped holiday home.”

Suited our party from 1 -70 years old! The games, TV rooms and outdoor facilities were better than we anticipated. It was good to know the owner were nearby but never intrusive. Would definitely recommend Avalon.

The property

This beautiful, detached Cotswold stone house rests in the village of Leonard Stanley, a spacious cottage situated over three floors.

The whole family can come together for this holiday adventure, a delightful and inviting base to spend some quality time in each others company.

You will feel instantly at home after wandering inside to the lounge, which houses a woodburner and two comfortable sofas, perfect for some peace and quiet through the day.

The dining area seats up to six people, and the modern kitchen has a collection of appliances, with a breakfast bar to make those morning times that much more special.

A utility area completes the arrangement.

Stairs lead up to a family bathroom which boasts a wonderful Jacuzzi bath, with a handheld shower, providing easy access from both the first and second floor.

For a peaceful night's sleep, choose from either the twin bedroom, or king-size room, which is tied together with window seats so you can enjoy some 'me time' admiring the views.

Two bedrooms are tucked away onto the next floor, two twins, one with en-suite facilities, leaving you spoilt for choice.

The enclosed garden is your own little escape for a moment or two relaxing in the hot tub, or enjoying the warmth from the woodburner on the patio area.

For some family fun, why not take advantage of the games room, bringing a memorable end to your day.

Venture into the village of Leonard Stanley with its wealth of rural life sure to impress, and the village of Stroud, definitely worth a visit; for walking opportunities, sports, and a collection of cosy pubs.

For the more energetic in the party take a walk along the Cotswold Way and take advantage of the many canal paths, cycle tracks and the National Trust common lands.

An excellent cottage in a superb part of Gloucestershire.

About the location

LEONARD STANLEY

Stroud 3 miles; River Severn 7 miles.

Leonard Stanley is a Gloucestershire village nestling beneath the Cotswold escarpment, overlooking the Severn Vale. Formerly, a Saxon village, Leonard Stanley became a busy weaving and agricultural centre, with shops and cottage industries. The community however still has a heart and the wealth of rural life still exists. The village is situated seven miles from the the city of Gloucester and thirty miles from Bristol. It is easily accessible by road, just three miles away. There are railway stations at Stroud, Stonehouse and Cam and international airports at Bristol, Cardiff and Birmingham. The village of Stroud is certainly worth a visit; the undiscovered, hidden, quiet area is great for walking, sports, eating and drinking in cosy pubs.
