Serena, the owner was very welcoming.

If you have "furry friend" there is a fantastic park (part of the Abby grounds) just across the road. A thriving town/city with a range of restaurants. Location makes it a hub for the Cotswolds. The basement apartment is quirky and as described- lots of space and all you need is provided. Serena and Jack were a delight and could not have been more helpful toward us.

Large basement with comfortable bed, large wet room and pleasant lounge. Car parking good and close. Good base to explore both Cirencester and surrounding area. Abbey gardens within easy reach. Serena very welcoming and helpful. Very quiet despite being very close to town centre. Great to have the town centre so close and easy to access. Cons As previous review stated accommodation is tired needs some TLC. Some electric switches are not good. Premises we found cold. Some kitchen utensils were left dirty by previous occupants with some plates and cutlery still having some food dried on. Difficult to turn off cloakroom taps as they dripped. Other Comments Kitchen very dark and small but served its purpose. Stairs as stated in description a bit steep and uneven. We enjoyed our stay despite the "cons". above and with a bit of TLC this place could be far better.
