Details on some of the equipment in the kitchen, would be helpful. The sofa's in lounge were very low, we had to use cushions to sit on, to raise the height.Both pubs in village were very good. Good holiday location for exporting the cotswolds.

The Wool Loft is a 10 minute walk to the train station which we used to visit Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud and Swindon in our week's vacation. A 15 minute drive to Cirencester which is a lovely place to visit. The Wool Loft is a really nice property with everything provided, it's clean and tidy and in a stunning setting. We would have no hesitation in returning to the Wool Loft.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at wool loft. We are a family of 5, with a 21, 17 and 10 year old, and there was plenty of space even with the 2 girls sharing.Furniture and beds were comfy, and the kitchen had what we needed to do some simple cooking, which is all you want to do when you are on holiday.It was a great place for exploreing the area, we went to Blenheim Palace on the day we travelled, spent the 1st day in Cirencester, £3.20 all day parking, and the 2nd day we went to Bourton on the Water, which was a lovely village to visit, and then on our way home we stopped off at the designer outlet in Swindon, so a fun packed family long weekend, in a lovely property. With a Tesco, Lidl, aldi and Morrison all in a 5/10 min drive away. And a lovely pub in the village that you can walk to and enjoy a nice few drinks and dinner
