    “The property is as described, the setting is beautiful, tranquil and very well maintained in a natural way.”

    The property is immaculate and the welcome pack of bread, eggs, teabags and milk a lovely touch. There is enough wifi to send and receive WhatsApp messages and I did manage a phone call in the garden. Essential for us as we had teenagers at home we wanted to be contactable for.

    The property is immaculate and the welcome pack of bread, eggs, teabags and milk a lovely touch. There is enough wifi to send and receive WhatsApp messages and I did manage a phone call in the garden. Essential for us as we had teenagers at home we wanted to be contactable for. The one big downside was the bed. I accept thiis is a personal perfences but neither myself nor my wife have back problems but did after the first night. The mattress is an open coil incredibly soft one that left both of us unable to sleep well due to discomfort. We put the mattress on the floor for the second night which helped. In doing so we noticed the frame of the bed had two large notice boards, still with drawing pins in them, acting as a base for the mattress which certainly didn't given much support. I'm happy to accept looking at other reviews that this isn't a problem for others but if you do have any back issues this is certainly not the place to stay. If the mattress were to be upgraded I would return in a heart beat but as it stands we are returning home more tired than Iwe arrived. Such a shame Jackdaws roost is perfect in evry other way.

About the location

CHELTENHAM

Tewkesbury 5.9 miles; Cirencester 14.7 miles; Stratford-upon-Avon 30 miles;

Cheltenham is a town in Gloucestershire and lies beneath Cleeve Hill, the highest point in the Cotswolds and above the vale of the River Severn. It is known as 'The Western Gateway to the Cotswolds'. This edge-of-the Cotswolds spa town is hard to beat for refined elegance and Regency terraces, annual festivals, Ladies' College and racecourse. Also fortnightly farmers markets, classy shops and restaurants all surrounded by glorious countryside. The town is home to the renowned Cheltenham Festival, 4 days of horse jump racing culminating in the Gold Cup, held annually in March at Cheltenham Racecourse. It's also known for Regency buildings, including the Pittville Pump Room, a remnant of Cheltenham’s past as a spa town. There's fine art at The Wilson museum, and the Victorian Everyman Theatre has an ornate auditorium.

Note This property accepts adults only.
