  The positives-Overwhelmingly location, location, location.

  A minute walk from beautiful town centre & stunning park. Cirencester is an absolute delight. Lots of independent traders sit alongside decent high street stores. In addition 25 charity shops. A thriving town. Great green spaces for walking you & your dog & ideal base to explore The Cotswolds. All this is is a "High Recommend" The challenges. The basement is based under a very old beautiful house. For the first couple of days, there was a musty smell. Perhaps due to it being closed & not heated. The accommodation is VERY tired & could be stunning-but needs decent financial investment. The beds are comfortable, the bedding is old in the bedroom without windows. I prefer to sleep under a double duvet. A single does not cut it as an adult. The lounge is basic. The kitchen is adequate-but utensils & cutlery are not clean. There is a cupboard containing sauces/condiments that I opened & shut immeadiately! The wet room is good. The washing machine & Fridge freezer are also modern. Internet connection is appalling. If you are looking to work and or watch movies you will be hugely frustrated. I am sure it is due to the basement build & deep walls. Internet connection drops out continually. We moved the router into the hallway which helped slightly. Overall if you are not fussed about the comfort, facilities & cleanliness of your accommodation then this one is for you. Otherwise, pass this one by.

  Pros Great location and easy to find.

  Large basement with comfortable bed, large wet room and pleasant lounge. Car parking good and close. Good base to explore both Cirencester and surrounding area. Abbey gardens within easy reach. Serena very welcoming and helpful. Very quiet despite being very close to town centre. Great to have the town centre so close and easy to access. Cons As previous review stated accommodation is tired needs some TLC. Some electric switches are not good. Premises we found cold. Some kitchen utensils were left dirty by previous occupants with some plates and cutlery still having some food dried on. Difficult to turn off cloakroom taps as they dripped. Other Comments Kitchen very dark and small but served its purpose. Stairs as stated in description a bit steep and uneven. We enjoyed our stay despite the "cons". above and with a bit of TLC this place could be far better.

  Charming cottage for 2 in beautiful countryside a couple of miles outside of Stow.

  Host Charles greeted us upon arrival, very nice gentleman, & Saphie, who is lovely & helpful, put up with my silly questions & looked after us during our stay. Cottage is set out very well, is properly equipped & looks out over sheep & horse paddocks. Only thing we would add would be a full length mirror maybe inside the wardrobe door. We enjoyed going to see Nina, the horse currently in the paddock outside, she was very friendly, especially when you took her an apple or 2. It is nice just wandering around the fields outside the cottage or there are plenty of walks in the area, my favourite being to Donnington Brewery about 2 miles away

  Extremely comfortable, well appointed property and ideally located.

  The host Charles was very accommodating and very personable. To enhance the property to excellent status I would like to recommend the following; 1. The purchase of a washing up bowl as this would save a lot of water. 2. The purchase of a pair of tongs, especially when grilling bacon! 3. The purchase of a pastry brush! The only concern I had was the booking in time at 1800hrs which is far from ideal especially when travelling a long distance and requiring time to prepare dinner. All the properties my wife and I have booked over many years previously have had a booking in time of 1600hrs.

  This was our first holiday at Flagstaff Cottage and we are sure it wont be our last.

  Everything was spotlessly clean, well furnished, light and airy, and above all is in a wonderful location. The peace & tranquility was just what we needed, but also within easy reach of so many wonderful places to visit. Charles was a most charming host & nothing was to much trouble for him to make sure our stay was comfortable. "Thank you" Charles and "Thankyou" to your housekeeping team too. We hope that we left the cottage as you requested: clen and tidy! 5.0 ***** Sue & Derrick
