    Perfect location in a lovely little village. Parking & EV charging a bonus. Good value for money and suited us really well. Great communication from the owner too, thank you :)

    Great location in the middle of Painswick - ideal for us walking the Cotswold Way.

    It was sad that the Welcome tin of "British" biscuits were made in India (and tasted nasty). Felt a bit cheap!! It's always nice to see local products, but sooner have nothing than "fake" ones. Shame there was just one combined bathroom and toilet, although we knew this before we arrived. This would have been fine for our original plans for 3 people, but in the end there were 5 of us, making bathing arrangements tight!

    Location fantastic, and beds comfortable. Good shower, and overall the flat was nicely decorated and met our needs.

    Few more kitchen items like Kitchen Roll, Foil etc. (only because we had a toddler!)

    Clean flat, comfy beds, easy check-in, two car parking spaces (tandem) and location within Painswick (short walk to the park / restaurants / cafes)

    As we were walking the Cotswolds Way we had a lot of laundry! Washing machine was excellent but no dryer, just an airer. The host worked with us though and a solution was found quickly.

    Lovely flat, walking distance to everything and was very easy to find. Comfortable beds and very clean.

    The sofa bed was very hard so we had to swap so that one person didn’t have to sleep on it both nights. The bathroom curtain was very sheer - I saw previous comments and the owner has said that you can’t see in from outside, but it was still uncomfortable showering and sitting on the toilet wondering if others can see in.

    Very good communication from the owner before we arrived. Great location in the village and very handy to have parking for two cars. Lovely apartment, nicely decorated and well equipped.

    Nothing really. The streets are narrow, but that's due to its history going back to 1200's when a market charter was given.

    Cosy but enough space for a family of 4/5. Warm and well equipped. Perfectly situated in the lovely village of Painswick. There are bars and nice Cafes and the Hotel restaurant is worth a visit. Also their gardens are beautiful. The whole area is a lovely place to visit.

    There's nothing not to like!

    We had a truly wonderful stay. The property was the perfect size for us (4 adults, a child and an infant, room for parking for 2 cars) and all information provided in advance and during the stay was useful and accurate. Everything we could have required was provided - we made good use of the excellent selection of games, books and DVDs - and it really did feel like a home away from home.

    Not a massive concern or anything - but main TV in living room wouldn't connect with the WIFI in the flat. But worked around it and used a mobile tether, which was connected to the WIFI in the flat. But other than that - no complaints at all - PERFECT place to visit and stay.

    The flat was beautiful and clean. All of the bedding was fresh and bathroom and kitchen were spotless. Lots of games / dvds were provided. Such a lovely place. Will definitely stay there again.

    The Bathroom light was very bright and you cannot turn it off manually. It dazzled us if we got up during the night to use the facilities. Also there is no blind up at the bathroom window, only a net curtain and you feel like you are on display!

    It was perfect size for three people. Very clean and equipped with everything you need. Very homely.

    Beautiful old building in Painswick but well fitted out for a comfortable stay. Lots of space for 2 teenagers to spread out and good kitchen to prepare dinners. Host provided some great check in tips well in advance which made getting to and into the flat so easy. Great base for exploring the Cotswolds area and we loved a couple of the local shops as well.

    The rooms were all a good size, and the living space was beautiful especially with the window seats. Everything was immaculate and spotless and there was plenty of crockery and cutlery etc, extra bedding etc. It was brilliant to have parking, which is unusual in the centre of Painswick and it was really convenient to have independent access.
