Birthday weekend

We had fantastic weather for our 50th birthday weekend and spent a lovely celebratory day in the garden. The bathroom on every level made it a super comfortable stay. The kitchen was a delight and great to cook in. Quiet, picturesque and private.

Home from home

Wonderful stay at The Glen. Facilities were excellent. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and very spacious. Beautiful gardens. A good location for touring the Cotswold. There are stairs to consider going down to living room and up to attic bedroom. Overall, a very comfortable and happy time at The Glen. Thank you to the owners for sharing their wonderful home.

Beautiful home

This was a great find and perfect place to stay for a weekend away. This home is super comfortable and well equipment for a larger group of guests. Ideal for both adults and children. The garden was stunning and the only downside for us was we had terrific rain all weekend, which prevented us using it to its full advantage. The house was well located in a beautiful Cotswolds village, easily in reach/walk of a hotel/restaurant , pub and cafe/restaurant. The walks round here are great and straight into the beautiful countryside. I’m sure we will be back again soon enough.

Beautiful house in superb location

We had a fantastic weekend in the Glen, such a well-equipped kitchen and everything we could need. We all loved the place with its nooks and crannies and old beams, felt right at home and didn't want to leave. The place was immaculately clean. We had one problem with a broken loo seat, phoned the number and spoke to Chris who was round with a new one immediately. Could not fault it at all. We hope to be back.

Fantastic

I have just had the best holiday ever, The Glen is beautiful, so clean, a welcome pack was left for us, we couldn’t stop saying wow, all rooms were en-suite which was perfect for us, it was so quiet and peaceful in the large garden, there were deck chairs and a bbq in the shed, the kitchen wanted for nothing brilliant large fridge and a freezer, great cooker and so many pots and pans, the beds were so comfy I took photos so I could buyone for home, the quaintness was what we like in a cottage 100% satisfied with every thing, I can highly recommend it and would go again, the walks round the village were a bonus terrific x
