    “Host was great & had good communication.”

    The cottage is equipped with all the basic needs like tea, sugar, fairy liquid etc & also a basket of treats for us & the dog. I’m 6 foot 1 & did struggle with the ceiling height in the kitchen & all the doorways - no fault of the cottage but just be aware of you’re taller than me. It did become a little annoying ducking all the time & banging my head a few times (again, it’s an old cottage with a lot of character so this is not a complaint).

    The cottage is equipped with all the basic needs like tea, sugar, fairy liquid etc & also a basket of treats for us & the dog. I’m 6 foot 1 & did struggle with the ceiling height in the kitchen & all the doorways - no fault of the cottage but just be aware of you’re taller than me. It did become a little annoying ducking all the time & banging my head a few times (again, it’s an old cottage with a lot of character so this is not a complaint). The hot tub was great & we used it every night. The only point to raise which became frustrating was the parking situation - you are allocated a “zone” which is essentially a cul-de-sac with places to park along the pavement which is 1 min walk round the corner from the cottage. Numerous times throughout our stay there was no spaces to park so we ended up parking in a different zone which risked getting a parking ticket. On our last night, there was no spaces again so we parked outside our cottage with just enough room for the neighbours to squeeze past - not ideal but we didn’t want to risk a ticket. We messaged Sally re the parking situation and we actually got asked to move it from in front of the cottage as neighbours had complained. Although this is out of Sally’s hands - it’s the only issue with the cottage. Maybe better enforcement of the “zones” to deter people parking there without a permit would help. Other than that, we had a great stay with a fantastic pub across the road. Would highly recommend.

    We thank you for your feedback, and are happy you enjoyed all the welcome treats ☺️ yes the beams and ceilings are low, so we do state this on our listing.... to pre warm our tall guests! About the parking, it is like a carpark, first come first served, it was Easter weekend so very busy! there are plenty of other larger car parks in Tewkesbury which we mention in our welcome book, and when you telephoned us. The lane is too narrow to park in front of our cottage, which meant you parked over the doorway of our neighbours home. It was fine on that occasion but obviously we try not to inconvenience them. Glad you enjoyed the oldest pub in Gloucestershire during your stay❤️ Many thanks Property Owner

The property

Nestled in a small terrace of beautiful period cottages, right next to the river Avon in Tewkesbury, adjacent to the historic King John's Bridge, lies Avonmede Cottage.

A traditional, cottage dating back to the early 1800's, it has been tastefully furnished using William Morris and Co interiors to stay true to the period.

Lovingly restored to its former glory, the cottage is a perfect choice for those wishing to experience a quaint and dog-friendly, romantic getaway.

With original low beams, and old elm floors, it is set on multi-levels, with nooks and crannies to explore – just remember to mind your head!

Step into the inviting living/dining room, where you can curl up on the plush seating in front of the warming electric fire and select a much-loved film on the TV, ready to enjoy with your favourite tipple in hand.

Conjure up a delicious meal in the well-equipped kitchen, ready to savour at the dining table as you plan the following day's itinerary.

On warmer evenings, why not fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco out in the rear enclosed garden, followed by a relaxing dip in the bubbling hot tub?

Indulgent soft bath robes are provided to wrap up in after a lovely evening watching the stars in the secluded outdoor hot tub which is just made for two.

Make your way back inside to freshen up in the well-appointed shower room after a day of adventure.

Continue upstairs to find a handy cloakroom, as well as a light and airy double bedroom with wrought iron bed, fitted with indulgent soft Egyptian cotton linen bedding, overlooking the nearby river.

Right on your doorstep, you can treat your other half to a meal at the oldest pub in Tewkesbury, Browns Garden, dating back to the 1500’s.

Tewkesbury has a plethora of activities to enjoy, boating, fishing, museums, and antique centres, as well as cafes, pubs and shops that are all dog friendly.

Venture further into the town, where you can tour the Tewkesbury Museum, visit the fascinating Tewkesbury Battlefield, well-known for where the War of the Roses came to head, dine at Gupshill Manor, picnic in the Vineyards Park, enjoy wildlife rich walks through the Tewkesbury Nature Reserve, or enjoy leisurely strolls along the River Severn and up towards the River Avon.

Next stop is Cheltenham, home to the popular Gold Cup held annually at the racecourse in March, as well as The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum, the Pittville Pump Room and the Victorian Everyman Theatre.

Further afield, you’ll find Gloucester, where you can visit the attractions of Gloucester Cathedral, National Waterways Museum and the Gloucester Docks.
