Nice recent and attractive renovation in a lovely Cotswolds town. Very clean, well appointed for the most part. Very convenient. This cottage is part of a complex in an old industrial facility that has been converted to residential flats. We truly enjoyed our stay there. Just a couple of other comments: the access to the upstairs second bedroom is quite steep and the Wi-Fi signals are quite weak at places within the space, probably due to the thick on walls. Nice appliances and furnishings in general, but rather cheap microwave and very small television. A safety grasp for the bathtub/shower would be helpful as it is somewhat difficult to get into. Overall, a lovely unit and a beautiful location. We will likely return.
