“This house is in a very good position for touring some of the many Cotswold attractions without having to travel too far each day.”
It is very well laid out in relation to rooms, bathrooms and facilities and is of a high standard. The household instructions were plentiful and clear, especially relating to the recycling. I found all that very useful.
Ruskin House is on the High Street of a busy market town. It is slightly set back but there is some traffic noise even with the double glazing. In the attic room, there is one window which is single glazed ( I think an original window) which while it's quaint, does allow traffic noise to penetrate which I found disturbing, even though I actually live on a busy road so should be used to it!
That said we did have a lovely time there.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and hope that the traffic noise did not disrupt your stay too much. We would love to welcome you back anytime in the future and thank you again for your feedback.
