Unforgettable stay in Gloucestershire!

Kim and Paul were very gracious hosts. The property sits on top of a hill overlooking a very pretty view of Gloucestershire.The property is immaculate, modern, fully furnished and has ever amenity needed to make the stay as nice and pleasant as possible. I chose Kim and Paul's place owing to my mother's age and having a walk-in shower was essential. Their fully furnished kitchen didn't disappoint. Kim was quick to provide any supplies that were lacking (if she had them). The only minor challenge we had was locating the place. We arrived at dusk and as the Coach House was in a very rural area, it was difficult to find it using Google Maps. Fortunately, we were able to get some directions from a hotelier in the area. For the benefit of future guests, Kim and Paul's place can be located using the following What 3 Words: asleep.serves.bath All in all, it was an exceptional stay. Being so close to Painswick was a stunning bonus.

Fantastic all round package! Great location between Painswick and Upton st Leonard. Lovely accommodation and first class fixtures and fittings with stunning little private garden and views of the surrounding valleys. Kim and Paul were excellent hosts and even helped us get the bikes on the back of our car. Couldn’t recommended more highly

Absolutely Brilliant

We absolutely loved staying at this property. It was spotless and extremely well fitted out - could not fault any part of our stay. We felt so relaxed and comfortable and it was great to be able to return at the end of the day and unwind in such a lovely comfortable and clean property. We would dearly love to stay here again, but as we have travelled from New Zealand, we may not be able to return to the UK but absolutely 100% recommend this property to all discerning travelers. Lovely hosts.

First-rate holiday rental

This property is well presented and spotless. No corners have been cut, it's clear, on furnishings and fittings and everything one needs for a comfortable stay is on hand. Similarly, the grounds and surrounding areas are immaculate while the hosts are really pleasant and accommodating. This is a good base with many of the pleasures of the Cotswolds within a reasonably short drive and the city of Gloucester very close by.

A perfect property with a lovely view!

What can be said? This property is perfect for a couple or a small family, a lovely open plan living space with very up to date appliances (Induction hob, electric oven, microwave, dishwasher and washer dryer). Lovely underfloor heating through out with individual controls in each room means you can be warm and cosy and the showers are lovely in the ensuite and main bathroom. I can not think of one negative to this property, its lovely and cosy and just great (With friendly attentive owners who really seem to care about the property).

Excellent place for a relaxing break

This is a great place to relax and unwined. Very nicely furnished and comfortable. Kim and Paul were great hosts, very helpful and caring. The location is beautiful overlooking the severn Valley you can see all the way to the Malvern Hills, on a clear day. Close to Painswick Beacon, there are some fantastic walks. Highly recommend this quiet property if you are looking to relax and de-stress. Thank you Kim and Paul!
