The road leading up to The Spring was extremely challenging to drive up due to the road itself being loose gravel and deep pot holes.

Beautiful property, amazing view - perfect for a remote getaway. Very impressive facilitates and nice little touches throughout.

Access track would not be good for lower chassis vehicles as heavily rutted and in places the trees encroach significantly over the track.

Location was good and relatively peaceful, it was cosy and a great place to chill in the evening. Bed was comfy and really awesome to be able to have so much open with the bi-fold doors. BBQ was great. Enough space for the two of us and our black Labrador.

Temperature regulator on the shower is broken and taped over, it is difficult to operate. The cabin cannot be locked from inside, and although the location is pretty safe, it made me slightly uncomfortable at night. Unfortunately on the third day of my stay the weather was just awful, it rained heavily all night and most of the day, so I left earlier and did not stay the last night as the cabin is tiny and it is difficult to dry wet clothes in such a small space.

Although small, the cabin is well equipped and comfortable. There is a fully equipped kitchen, nice bed with a good mattress, effective air con. Location is very convenient for exploring Painswick and surroundings. It is very peaceful, if the weather is good, you can sit outside or open the foldable glass doors and listen to the birds singing. Laurie Lee Wildlife Way passes by the property and there is a laminated map provided in the cabin, which was nice.

The only gripe was the key kept falling apart. Plastic handle, and the shower kept going hot and cold without adjusting it. Aparr from that we loved it.

Loved the location. Such a beautiful spot. The cabin was well played out and cosy. The host was helpful, and understanding when I told her I had accidentally broken a plate. We would love to go back again in a different season. If you love wildlife and peace this is a place to go.

The hot water was a little temperamental and the gas plancha outside didn't work.

The location is amazing! Such awesome views, felt very isolated and peaceful.

it is compact and would have preferred larger oven. Immediate external area could have been better kept gardening wise.

Unique, modern and isolated, with additional bonus of 11am checkout. Good communication and lovely village and pub.

The mattress is a little too firm for our liking so we brought a topper this time which is no issue for us at all. Everything else is perfect.

The location is perfect and the views are absolutely stunning. So calm and peaceful. It’s always very clean and well maintained. The kitchen is equipped with absolutely everything you need it’s ideal. The host answered all my questions promptly and was helpful.

***NOT SUITABLE FOR COUPLES** I had booked this stay for my husband's 50th birthday, we had several issues with the property but the main issue was that there was not enough hot water for one person to shower. * My husband got in the shower on Saturday morning and within 1 minute of being in there he let out a high shriek, the water had turned stone cold! He jumped out and I was on the phone to the owner :Sophie, who’s response to our complaint was dismissive. At first, she said, "it's only a small tank and there is only enough water for 1 person " She then went on to accuse my husband of having a "long shower" I had to reiterate that he was only in there for one minute before it went cold and there was no information in her description that states that her place is fit for one person not two. She agreed it isn't mentioned. After having to labour the point that there was clearly a problem she admitted that the water should not go cold so soon. I then asked if she could send someone round to take a look to which she abruptly responded: “I can’t magically send a plumber round straight away!” Her solution was for us to take showers in her other vacant property: Shepherd’s hut which is a) located down a steep hill and b) we would have to go down there, turn the immersion tank on, wait an hour for the water to heat up, one of us can take a shower and then we would have to wait an additional hour for the second person to take a shower. This solution was obviously not acceptable especially for guests who are only staying for a couple of nights and are there to explore the area and it was certainly unacceptable for us as it was my husband’s birthday on the Saturday and we had plans that day, so we just had to have basin washes for the rest of our stay. Since that one interaction, Sophie didn’t even send a message to check if we were ok.

Nothing!

The setting is truly idyllic! Nothing but peace and tranquility. Facilities are great, especially given it is a small space - we wanted for nothing. Fantastic walks on the doorstep and a wonderful old pub a short walk away. It really is a break away from it all.

We were very disappointed with the location - the description and photos of the property show it/describe it as a quiet peaceful location. Unfortunately it is very close to the other two cabins and we were very unhappy when a large group of people turned up on the Saturday and made a lot of noise. That was not what we expected. Also the area around the cabin wasn't well maintained - the grass wasn't cut and the bins were full of water. Also the track going up to the property was extremely difficult to get up with our van. A warning beforehand would have been helpful. Also the trees lining the track were very overgrown so we had to get out and cut them ourselves to get our van past them.

The cabin itself was fine - clean and tidy and looked exactly like what was shown in the photos. It was very small for two people but we were aware of that before we booked it.

Cant say there was anything I didn’t like.

Was great to be in the countryside  peace and quiet, no one around great air con.

The key was left in the door when we arrived and we were not able to get the key out the door to lock it when we wanted to go out. Called the host to report this and was told that is the only key and no one goes up near there (not very helpful) so every time we went out we had to leave the key in the door which is not very safe particularly at night. We did not feel safe at night leaving the place unlocked with the key in the door outside so ended up going home on the first night due to this as was not possible to lock from inside due to key being stuck in the door outside. It’s a shame it could not have been resolved as it ruined our trip. The place also smelt of damp and there was mould in the shower on arrival.

Location was good nice and scenic and quiet.

Everything was perfect.

Amazing place! It had everything and more that we needed. It feels very private. The supermarket is only 8min drive too which is very handy.

Lack of satellite in the area but forced me to be rural so no bad thing. Gorgeous property.

The location and views. The privacy.

Stayed in October 2022

Our WiFi didn't work throughout our stay but it was OK as we were local travellers and had local network.

View from the cabin just amazing. Loved everything there. Its a really nice place and cabin if a couple or even a single person wants to detox, do some hiking, enjoy beautiful views or even work looking at those beautiful views.
