Wonderful venue for family celebration
Cotswold House is a beautifully equipped, large house in a fantastic setting. We were a party of 10, gathered to celebrate a golden wedding, and it suited us perfectly. All the bedrooms are large and comfortable, the living areas are fantastic and there are all sorts of added bonuses such as a games room, heated hot tub and lovely garden. Our host Susannah simply couldn't have done more to accommodate us. Would highly recommend!

Fabulous weekend
I Just stayed with 16 members of my family for my 50th birthday. I really can’t fault any of it. The house is beautiful and full of character, it was unusually well equipped in terms of cutlery, glasses, serving ware etc, the hot tub was a lovely bonus and the hosts were faultless. I got prompt replies to any questions, and when we accidentally turned off the hot tub, Ian was there within the hour to sort it out. When we arrived there was a card and chocolates to wish me a happy birthday which was so thoughtful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

A fabulous place to mark my Mum's 80th birthday!
We stayed at Cotswold House to celebrate Mum turning 80, the new 50 it would appear!! The house was perfect for our group, 12 in number made up of a wide range of ages, and made for the perfect location for our celebrations. The games room and hot tub were a great element of the house and were used frequently throughout or stay. Susannah was a superb host, always quick to respond to messages and provide helpful information and was even kind enough to arrange fantastic weather for us, despite it being in late October!! She also gave a recommendation for the caterer we brought in for an evening meal, Tamsin, who was fantastic! I cannot recommend the host and house enough!

Our Wonderfull weekend at Cotswold House
Cotswold House stood out from many of the properties that we viewed, the purpose for our visit was a property to celebrate our Golden Wedding anniversary, we were certainly not disapointed in our choice, the word frequently used on our arrival was Wow!! our family were similarly impressed. The house was very welcoming and spacious and immaculately presented, it suited our celebrations with the family very well. Many books were to be found around the house and jigsaws kept some of our party well occupied. The garden was spacious and the outside games room were well used by all the family, as was the Hot Tub. We ventured into Dursley and had booked a couple of sessions at The Escape Room, good fun was experienced by all. The Black Horse just down the road was a welcoming establishment for Sunday lunch. We also enjoyed a walk (uphill) to the William Tindale Monument. In all a wonderful venue for, what was, for us a very memorable weekend.

Perfect Family Celebration
Cotswold House was the perfect venue for a family get together to celebrate a special birthday. The house is spacious and comfortable, easily accommodating 14 - everyone aged 2 to 80 had a great time. Susannah and Ian have created a warm and welcoming home away from home with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and lots of seating inside and out and even fresh flowers in vases about the the house - everything was thought of - thank you!

This property itself is amazing, but the hosts are what put it over the top! We were a group of 14 (8 of which are kids under 7) and we all enjoyed the property with its multiple different hang out areas; the hut tub was especially a hit! There is a pub within 15 mins walking which we frequented as well. We had an issue w the hot tub one night, but Ian came out within 5 mins to rectify the issue. We arrived to the unit late and the host went out of her way to accommodate us by meeting the grocery delivery people. We have stayed all over the world and these are without a doubt the best hosts we’ve encountered thus far. Thanks for a memorable Cotswolds experience!

We stayed for three nights as a group of adults and children. Plenty of space for everyone. The property is beautiful and well equipped. The children enjoyed the hot tub and games room. The local pub is approximately a 10-15 minute walk but during winter they don’t open until 5pm. Also many of the take aways don’t deliver. We really enjoyed staying at Cotswold House and would definitely recommend this to anyone! Thank you Susannah the host!

Lovely weekend with an unhappy postscript
I'm afraid I can't recommend this property. We had a lovely weekend but after we left Susannah phoned to say that she'd found two small burns in the hall carpet. Our granddaughters had carried a birthday cake with an indoor sparkler through the hall and it would be surprising if they had caused the burns, though I can't prove they didn't. Anyway, Susannah charged hundreds of pounds (vrbo won't let me say how much) to my credit card. In the end a repair cost one per sent of that and Susannah refunded the difference, but overall it's not an experience I would repeat.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Jul 2023
We are pleased to hear you had a lovely time at our property. In response to your comments, we very rarely have to make a claim against the damage deposit as is testified with no mention of damage related issues in seven years of running our holiday let and over 100 five star reviews. There were two clear burn marks to the carpet in the hall where the sparkler candles were lit on the birthday cake. We took photographs of these and sought advice from VRBO who advised us to temporarily ring fence the whole damage deposit while the various options were explored. For clarification, VRBO held all monies during this period. This was clearly explained to you as we had clients in immediately after your stay due to it being school holidays and we have a limited period to claim against any damage deposit. As you were then made aware, we were able to source a repair specialist who repaired the carpet for the same price as a pint. With all of our clients on the occasional cases of damage, we always seek to be fair and reasonable and fully transparent during the process of exploring solutions and also work in tandem with VRBO's guidelines and counsel.

Perfect place to unwind
We were 9 friends and work colleagues, who all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is beautifully decorated and well equipped. Plenty of crockery, cooking utensils etc. high quality linen and towels. Suzannah was excellent to communicate with. The large dining/ sitting room is a wonderful space for a large group. One small possible improvement is that this room is very cold (the rest of the house was warm). Whilst a small heater is provided, come armed with a few bags of logs for the large wood burning stove. We bought some locally and this made a huge difference, a really cosy relaxing room. A really enjoyable stay.

Absolutely perfect. Clean, spacious, great for our needs
We stayed at the property as we were in the area for a wedding. There were 11 of us staying and it was perfect. The house is huge and the rooms very roomy so nobody was on top of each other. There's a games room and a hot tub (which unfortunately we didnt have time to use). Owner rang on the first evening to make sure everything was fine, which was a nice touch. Property very clean and well equipped. Highly recommend

Countryside Haven!
We booked this property for my hen weekend and it was the perfect place for a countryside getaway! Our hosts were so helpful and the house was immaculate when we arrived. The garden was a great place for us to socialise in the evenings, we particularly enjoyed the hot tub and swing… we felt very relaxed and even with 12 of us had plenty of space. We would all recommend staying here if you’re looking for a country retreat with friends and family.

Everything about our stay was excellent. The property feels grand but homely. There was so much space for the 15 of us a group of friends celebrating a 50th and 60th birthday we never felt cramped. The hot tub was perfect and the games room were so much fun we all got very competitive. The surroundings area was beautiful and the local pub made us very welcome and is well worth a visit. Finally the host Susannah was always on hand before and during our stay with advice.

40th Birthday Long weekend
This was an ideal property for my partner's 40th Birthday celebration weekend. It had plenty of space for the 6 adults and 6 children in our group. Games room and hot tub were major hits and the kitchen had all the equipment needed to pull off some delicious meals. Bedding was hotel quality comfort. The setting is ideal for walks and exploration. Susanna was super responsive during the whole process and even left 40th birthday balloons + a gift for my partner's birthday - above and beyond! We highly recommend this property and hope to return in the not so distant future.

Brilliant house for a family reunion
We had an excellent stay, plenty of space to hang and catch up, whether in the living room, eat in kitchen, garden, games room or hot tub. The large sitting area is delightful and keeps noise away from bedrooms which is great. Would have given it all 5 stars but the house is a little run down in spots and could use a spring clean/declutter.
