We stayed in the old stable at Dursley for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was presented to a very high standard, huge comfy bed, excellent shower and fully equipped kitchen catering for all your culinary needs. The dog was well catered for too with treats, bowl and towel. The location was perfect, rural and quiet but close enough to the town. It also had an enclosed garden and only a few mins walk to the Cotswold Way. Would wholeheartedly recommend and would definitely stay again. Thank you
