    “Jackdaw's Roost does "exactly what it says on the tin".”

    .! Incredibly quiet, completely "off grid" (except that there is a TV), very comfortable and in an absolutely delightful setting. Other reviewers have called it "quirky", I'd go a little further and describe it as absolutely, delightfully, Bonkers!! Even after a week there we were still noticing new, wonderful touches. Outside, there are geese (friendly), ducks, moorhens, numerous other varieties of birds, even rabbits. Discovering old vehicles and machinery being taken-over by nature all around ...

Outside, there are geese (friendly), ducks, moorhens, numerous other varieties of birds, even rabbits. Discovering old vehicles and machinery being taken-over by nature all around the property was just another joy. Hayley and Chris are wonderful hosts, and if you come to stay be sure to visit Hayley's workshop in Blacksmith's Lane where she creates fabulous creatures from "found" objects.

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.
