We had a wonderful stay in a very clean and exceptional annex. Karen and Martin were excellent host (our dogs loved them that much that they didn't want to leave). They made sure we had everyhing that we needed. We are definitely looking to return.

Lovely quiet escape, very friendly owners and exceptionally clean. Dogs loved the freedom of the enclosed garden.
Plenty of walks and pubs nearby too
Very impressed on arriving, very clean, host thought of everything including some lovely extras, couldn't ask for better. Very enjoyable stay, would definitely recommend.
Holiday environment I could not have had a better time, the accommodation exceeds expectation.
The accommodation was exceptional, the property manager went over the top to ensure our stay was perfect. Everything you wanted and more was available I cannot recommend this highly enough 100% quality perfect place to stay and dog friendly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely perfect, fully self contained accommodation. Fantastic location, out in the countryside while also not to far from the city, supermarkets etc. Karen and Martin were great, pleasant to meet in the first place, checking in a few times to check if anything was needed (fresh sheets or towels etc). Should i need to visit this area again checking if I can stay here again would be at the top of my priority list. Many thanks Karen and Martin for a great stay.
Everything you would want in a holiday stay...immaculately clean, well appointed and equipped, fantastic secure outside space for our dog, very easily accessible from the motorway and an easy drive to Cheltenham and other beautiful places in the Cotswolds. This is definitely one of the best places we've stayed in. the owners were lovely and on hand if we needed them, which we did not -they really had thought of everything to make the stay perfect.
Karen and Martin are excellent hosts - they are friendly, welcoming and considerate. The accommodation is superb. Everything has been provided and is spotless. Highly recommended.
Karen is such a wonderful host, she keeps the farm annex spotless. I've stayed here for three years now, and it still looks brand new.
A perfect little getaway for a couple, and dog lovers.
Very quiet, private location out in the Cotswold countryside.
We never had before such a tidy, nice furnished and comfortable holidayhome. So many gifts and very friendly owners Karen and Martin. We travel a lot, this was the best ever!
An decent specification 1 bed annex in excellent order.
Karen is a superb host who can't do enough for you.
A quiet private spot.
Very relaxing.
Great value for money,
We really enjoyed our stay at the Annexe. The property is well equipped, spotlessly clean, in a quiet, remote location. The owners went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible, but allowing for early check in, late check out, providing a lovely welcome pack for us as well as our dog, and by checking in regularly (via text messages) to see if we needed anything. The garden is lovely and secure, the house is beautiful. I can't imagine a more perfect place for a short stay.

A cosy friendly annexe. We really enjoyed staying in, super clean and truly personable. The hosts went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. They stocked it up for anything that you could imagine. You wouldn’t want to go out! Amazing - thank you!
Really can't fault this lovely property for two. Only sorry we couldn't bring our dog this time as he would have loved the enclosed garden and lovely walks from the front door. We both slept really well as the Annexe is just so peaceful and comfortable. The welcome pack makes "settling in" so much easier. Nothing is too much trouble for our lovely hosts. Thank you - we definitely hope to visit again!
The overall experience here raises the bar in self catering accommodation. From the excellent and spotless rooms to the very generous provision of milk, juice and other things too numerous to mention .. this was the best provided Self catering property we have stayed in (and we have stayed in many). Thank you so much Karen for your welcome and thoughtfulness. Most highly recommended.
This little house on a farm is the perfect location for visiting Cheltenham and the rest of the Cotswolds. Karen and Martin are very nice hosts.
The house has everything you need and more. By arrival you get a nice package of treats for people and the dog!
The house is super clean, very good bed, television with access to Netflix and a small but nice garden.
The house has only a ground floor what perfect is for a little dog. The garden is fenced.
We surely come back!
Our ,third Visit here and again Karen and Martin did not disappoint. Lovely clean environment, it's Christmas time and the effort was made to put decorations in which was lovely. Nice treats upon arrival for us and our dog teddy. The grounds looked beautiful in the snow! I'm sure we will be back for a fourth visit. Tha KS guys !
The accommodation is superb - spotless, well equipped and comfortable. The owners are generous and considerate. Perfect location for dogs and a escape proof fence around the grassed garden. Highly recommended
I’ve stayed at dozens of VBRO properties over the years and this is one of the absolute best. Karen’s attention to detail on even the smallest thoughtful items was amazing. Karen checked in several times to insure everything was going well. The fittings, furnishings and amenities were all First Class. Can unreservedly recommend to even most discerning guests.
