On arrival we were welcomed by the hosts who were very friendly and accommodating but not intrusive. Close proximity to the farm was not a problem and didn't smell. The cottage was spotless. We liked the fact that both bedrooms had en-suites. Even though the cottage is by the side of the main road we couldnât hear the traffic. 5 minute walk into picturesque Painswick was great with a choice of cafes. The only single negative was poor internet connection. Thanks to Dan and Steph for a lovely relaxing stay.
