Snaptrip says

Gleed Cottage in Cheltenham is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its ideal location, welcoming host, and thoughtful touches like fresh bread and homemade treats. Guests enjoy the cosy atmosphere, proximity to a friendly local pub, and the scenic village of Naunton. Some concerns were raised about cleanliness and maintenance, but overall, the cottage offers a charming and comfortable stay in the Cotswolds.

Guests that stayed at this property said

While many guests found the cottage to be spotless and well-maintained, there were a few instances of dust, unvacuumed carpets, and leftover items from previous guests. These seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.

The cottage is consistently praised for its beautiful location in a picturesque village, with easy access to local attractions and walks. The proximity to a friendly pub is frequently mentioned as a highlight.

Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with a cosy fireplace and spacious bedrooms. However, some guests noted issues with bed firmness and the suitability of the property for toddlers due to steps and open balustrades.

There is insufficient information to accurately score the facilities and maintenance as a whole. While some guests mentioned a well-equipped cottage and a lovely fireplace, others noted issues with the kitchen size, storage, and the functionality of the fireplace and windows.

The host's thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating the welcome pack and homemade treats. It should be noted that while such gestures are common, they are not guaranteed for every stay.
