Guests say
Ivy Cottage in Cheltenham is a well-loved holiday rental, praised for its cleanliness, charming character, and peaceful rural location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, cosy log burner, and thoughtful welcome gifts. The beautiful garden and proximity to walking routes add to the appeal, although the closure of the local pub and a narrow driveway are minor drawbacks. Overall, it offers a delightful Cotswolds experience.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as clean and well-maintained, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The location is appreciated for its beauty and tranquillity, ideal for exploring the Cotswolds. However, the closure of the local pub and the need for transport slightly affect the score.
The cottage is generally regarded as comfortable and cosy, especially with the log burner. However, a few guests mentioned an uncomfortable sofa, which impacts the comfort score.
Facilities are well-regarded, with a well-stocked kitchen and abundant wood for the burner. One report of a non-functioning shower affects the score.
Many guests mention a welcome pack, which reflects the host's thoughtfulness. However, it's important to note that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.
