Quite secluded down a lane but easily accessed. Quiet but within easy reach of local shop and pubs with a short drive. Nice central location in Cotswold area with shortish drives to Worcester, Gloucester, Hereford, Tewksbury and the Malvern Hills. Alround recommended
Julia
..torches, doggie bags and bowl. Very comfy sofas and plenty of seating in the idyllic garden, plus sunbeds-a real treat! Dogs loved it especially the walk up the lane to the wonderful field complete with table and chairs to enjoy the views-magical!
