  Lovely stay at The Cottage.

  Tracey was a great host and available if we needed her, which we took advantage of when we needed to know about the local area. Parking was easy and we nearly always had a space outside the cottage, there was only one day where we parked a couple of cars down from outside the front door. It's the first time for me, having to park on-street whilst on holiday, I was very pleased that it was so easy! Arriving after a very long journey from Norwich... We found perfect 'welcome gifts' for both us and our dog! The cottage is beautifully decorated and very clean. We had everything we needed for a comfortable, self-catering week away and we made full use of all the amenities. We cooked every day and it felt home-from-home. The beds were comfy and having a quality fan in each of our rooms were a real added bonus! My personal favourite holiday treat is a nice bath (I only have a shower at home) The bath at The Cottage was superb, very luxurious! We made use of the patio furniture on a daily basis, perfect setting for our English Breakfast's. The sunshine hits that area all day. When it got a bit too much, we made use of the tilting parasols; I've now ordered one for home, great idea! Our doggie loved the fenced in garden and we felt confident with letting him go out and explore the garden when we were inside the cottage. Tetbury market town is only a 5 minute stroll from the cottage. We had a Tetbury Tuesday day, wandering around the town and Abbey. I bought myself some lovely gifts from the Highgrove store... thank you HRH! If you love antiques, you're in for a real treat, Tetbury has some amazing antique shops! The cottage is in a location that allowed us to make visits to other surrounding areas. We had days out to Bath, Boughton-On-The-Water, Cotwolds Farm Park, Cirencester, Bilury, Castle Combe and even went over the Seven to Wye Valley; I'd recommend the Duchess Ride Viewpoint walk. Thank you Tracey, we've come home with some amazing memories and well rested.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bilsham Meadows.

  We immediately could tell that there was a lot of thought and detail that went into building this lovely farmhouse/cottage. The kitchen/living area is so spacious. It allowed everyone to interact with each other in an open air space. Not to mention the patio, garden area and hot tub - a phenomenal addition to the cottage and one of the highlights. All the rooms were of a good size and the bathrooms were stunning! It would have been nice to have a little more storage space for clothing especially in the master bedroom upstairs. The cottage is definitely well insulated and warm and would be extremely ideal during the winter. Within our party of 10, there were some who loved the warmth and others who did feel a little warm and regularly went outside for fresh air. We noticed that in each space there were heating controls but we were unsure if these were fixed or could be adjusted. If they were adjustable then we didn’t know how to regulate it and would have been nice to adjust the heating to a middle ground to suit everyone’s comfortability. In regards to the wifi, it wasn’t too strong which caused some difficulties when trying to watch the TV as at several points the TV would buffer or would ask us to check the wifi connection. We appreciate this might have been down to a lot of people trying to connect at once. The owners were lovely and friendly. We liked how they gave us our privacy and checked in with us at the end to ensure everything is OK. There are a lot of information/help guides within the property so an answer usually would be found in these guides. Overall, Bilsham Meadows provided us with an amazing opportunity to unwind and reset from our busy lives. There is a sense of peace and tranquility about this cottage that has to be celebrated and appreciated and we would most definitely recommend to others.

  Beautiful property, lovely and warm.

  Bedding quality excellent , and also the towels that were sumptuous. Easy to find and gain access. Gardens planted and looking lovely already. Bed configuration instructions were followed up and perfect thank you . Hot tub was lovely for those who used it and plenty of blanket and outdoor towels. However , it was disappointing that there were obviously insufficient hand towels for the party which I did report the day we arrived but no more were forthcoming. Some of the kitchen equipment was not cleaned properly (lips marks on glasses, custard on jugs, mugs discolored.) This could be because of the frugal supply of dishwasher tablets provided, a couple more would have been appreciated. I cannot understand why cake forks are provided but no tea towels ?? Essential if you cannot always use the dishwasher. From a health and safety aspect , no oven gloves is an oversight and accident waiting to happen with no tea towels either to substitute. Another suggestion, with two people occupying the rooms, there really is not sufficient hanging space and most rooms could easily accommodate a decent wardrobe. There was also lots of detritus under the settees and under some of the beds. The Ironing board was broken ( with a note left on it from previous occupants) when we arrived and not sure why that had been left ? Overall ,we would have no hesitation to book again as hopefully, these are only teething problems in a new property and maybe a little tightening up on the cleaning service

  We had a really great week at the cottage.

  It is so well positioned. Only 10 min walk into Tetbury itself. It has everything that you need for a relaxing holiday. It is also a great base if you want to explore the Cotswolds further. Parking is outside the cottage on a busy main road but we had no trouble even with two cars with us. The weather the week we stayed was cold but the property was warm and very comfortable. The log burner was a great addition with further supplies of logs available from Tesco (2 mins walk) and the Hardware shop just down the road. The cottage was also so dog friendly with a secure garden. Indeed the pubs and cafes in Tetbury itself were happy to welcome dogs. The are loads of walks in and around Tetbury and a number of great pubs to visit. The Priory (Gastro pub) just 5 mins walk from the cottage has a fantastic menu and great staff. The Royal Oak 10 mins walk away does a great Sunday lunch. Also recommended the Cat and Custard Pot if you fancy a longer yomp or a short drive. It is advisable to book a table even in Winter in all the pubs/hotels. The Goods Yard Event Centre is also worth a visit even if you just want a coffee and a cake. A great walk is to be had up the old railway line. There is a pub at the end of the walk but worth checking first if it’s open if you intend to call in. Would thoroughly recommend the cottage and Tetbury. The owners of the cottage were also so accommodating and friendly. Thank you for the Prosecco! We hope we can stay again in the future.

  Lovely cottage, nicely furnished with good quality items.

  We booked for 4 adults, a baby and a dog so full capacity, we didn't all stay for the week which was just as well as it did seem crowded. So generally it was 3 adults and baby. The baby items - travel cot and highchair were excellent quality and cleanliness. The layout is a little unsuitable for a crawling 9mth old due to a small step from the living room to the kitchen which baby made a beeline for when the door was open, they learn quickly but we had to be vigilant. The TV in the lounge was small for the room (I know it's not essential) but we weren't going out at night. The kitchen had everything you needed if you wished to cook a meal. The bathroom with its free standing bath and separate shower cubicle is gorgeous. The beds are comfortable and the rooms furnished nicely. The garden is a good size and grassed, with plenty of outside seating and sun umbrellas which we made plenty of use of. The cottage is on a busy road, it is on street parking so it means you don't always get close to the house which is fine apart from loading and unloading a car or 2. Tetbury itself is a quaint market town with numerous antique shops and some interesting independent shops and cafes. Plenty of hotels and pubs serving food, be aware though - if it rains you cannot get a taxi on a Saturday night! The owner is very helpful, we had a nice stay thank you.
