Guests say
Ivy Cottage in Cheltenham is highly praised for its charm, comfort, and well-equipped facilities. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like a welcome pack and the log burner, which adds to the cosy atmosphere. The cottage's location in a beautiful Cotswold village is ideal for exploring the area, although the closure of the local pub means transport is needed for dining out. The garden is a highlight, especially when the wisteria blooms. Overall, it's a top choice for a peaceful getaway in the Cotswolds.
Guests consistently mention the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as 'super clean', which indicates a high standard of hygiene and care.
The location is praised for its beauty and convenience for walkers, although the closure of the local pub and the need for transport slightly affect its score.
The cottage is repeatedly described as cosy and comfortable, with a spacious bathroom and a log burner that adds to the comfort level.
The property is well-appointed with quality kitchenware and clear instructions for appliances. However, the narrow driveway is noted as a potential issue for larger vehicles.
Guests are delighted by the thoughtful welcome pack, which includes cake, milk, wine, and biscuits. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

Ideal break for a romantic weekend away.Beautiful village - shame the local pub has shut down so you would need transport to get to other shops and eateries.Cottage itself was lovely - even better than in the photos. Spacious for two people. Loved the log burner and cake, milk, wine and biscuits had been left for us.Would definitely return.
