Found in the Montpellier area of Cheltenham, only ten minutes from the world-famous Cheltenham racecourse, this mews house might be small, but every inch contributes to its functionality. A raised platform hosts the living room, the mezzanine boasts extra sleeping space with a sofa bed, and the slim breakfast bar is ideal for a light nibble before setting off. Taller guests might feel claustrophobic under the sloping ceilings, but it's otherwise comfortable, and the private patio has a little more room for stretching your legs when needed. The Imperial Gardens and Sandford Parks Lido are within walking distance, and the boating lake and aviary at Pitville Park are only a short drive away.

Home truths:
*We suggest hiring a car for ease – you'll find parking for one car here. *As there are stairs to climb, it might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests. *You'll find basic essentials and toiletries here to get you started, but you might want to bring your own to top this up. The nearest supermarket for stocking up is a five-minute walk away. *Hen and stag parties are strictly not allowed at this home.
