The cottage is within easy walking distance of the shops and facilities of Nailsworth. The designated parking spaces are an essential feature. We experienced no noise whatsoever from the nearby social club even though we were there on the evening of the finals of the Euro 24 football. The beds are comfortable and the showers have good water pressure. Good quality bedding and towels provided. We appreciated the good communication about key collection from Alison who also kindly gave recommendations for places to have Sunday lunch. The riverside outdoor space is a pleasant place to relax. The only slight criticism is that, at the time of our stay, the plants in pots had died and weeds were growing up through the gravel. A little bit of regular maintenance would make this area really lovely.

We stayed here for a week. The cottage is comfortable. Really good beds! However, the small bedroom has no storage for clothes at all, even though you could fit a small chest of drawers in there. Even a hanging rail would have been better than nothing. We found the kitchen rather small and not all that well equipped. Parking was adequate but the lane to the cottage is very narrow. We did not really like the area it was situated, with a working man's club just along from it. We saw a few people outside drinking and smoking every evening. Also, speaking of smoke, the cottage opposite had a log burner which they lit every day, even though it was during a heatwave. Smoke from their chimney permeated the cottage if we left windows open. Gave us headaches. The cottage is full of stairs. You need to be fit to get up to the master bedroom! Despite the niggles, we did enjoy our stay and Nailsworth proved a good base for us. Also...the caretakers, Alison and Howard were really helpful to us during our stay. If you don't mind lots of stairs, and a bit of wood smoke, it is a nice, comfy cottage. But take your own tin opener!!
