The Outhouse is a beautifully appointed, self-contained out-building. It includes a large bedroom, high quality bathroom with bath and shower, large living area/lounge with integral fully-equipped kitchen and parking for 2 cars or more. There is an outside sitting area to relax and enjoy the views both over to Cheltenham, as well as up towards the woods of Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust's Chosen Hill nature reserve. It’s an ideal alternative to a hotel.
This VRBO partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
We are a family of 4 with 2 young children (as well as a spaniel called Roxy, chickens, bantams, 2 goats and 2 sheep!). The opportunity to rent out accommodation became increasingly apparent as "The Outhouse" was in limited use other than by family on visits. We took about the task of upgrading it to be as special as possible. The infrastructure, both internally and externally, was almost perfect already - we just needed to invest in furnishings, which we haven't held back on. Given a chance we chill out in there when we can. We book it out for ourselves too!
Sarah purchased this cottage in 2014
The setting - it's amazing. We spent a long time looking for the right place for our family. The opportunity to rent out our "Outhouse" to business people and holiday makers was an added bonus. We've taken this opportunity very seriously and have focused on attention to detail. It's been available from the beginning of 2015 but we spent several months in 2014 getting it ready. For example, the wifi has been professionally installed as we felt the signal from the main house was too weak. The brand new TV lacked on the sound quality so we bought a special unit to make it sound far better. We could go on...
It's very close to both Gloucester and Cheltenham but in a rural setting. The tree-lined drive - as you approach it - puts you in the right frame of mind after either a social or business trip.
Amazing wildlife (green woodpeckers for example) is abundant.
It's the perfect place to relax with many rural attractions, but close to city life.
The overall experience was fantastic. Sarah kept me updated all the time with great communication and when we arrived Andy was there to greet us and show us round. The Outhouse is a great setting and has all the facilities (and more) that you would need. We had a great stay and are hoping that Sarah and Andy will have us back the same time next year.
4 of us stayed in this beautiful annex during while visiting the Cotswolds. The property had all the commodities and it's very nicely decorated (the huge bath was a pleasant surprise). The host was so kind and friendly and showed us around their beautiful grounds and all the lovely animals!
Very clean and well equipped. Child friendly inside and outside (the animals were a big hit with our little one!). Sarah was a fabulous host!
Great place for a relaxing weekend!
Had an amazing weekend at the the outhouse. It is perfect and so well equipped. Sarah and Andy are the most hospitable people went above and beyond. Would definitely stay again xx
From the outset Sarah made the trip idyllic by keeping us abreast of local weather conditions.
Upon arrival we were given an overview of the property.
Although living on site Sarah and Andy leave you to your own devices but are there if you need anything.
Location wise this was perfect for us to use as a base to visit zoos around the Cotswolds.
Looking out across fields and trees the actual property is very picturesque
Internally the Outhouse has everything we needed to make our stay literally a home from home.
We make a habit of not visiting the same place twice, however this could be the exception
Can’t recommend highly enough
Very nice place and owner. Much better than the pictures. I would come back.
