Our Christmas Stay at Gable Cottage
We stayed at Gable Cottage for our first ever Christmas away.
I contacted house keeping and Bolthole Retreats prior to our visit and was assured the property would be decorated for Christmas, and though family and friends said their properties were decked out for Christmas when they've gone away before (not to Gable Cottage) we still decided to take some things from home, including a slim line Christmas tree and we are so glad we did! The small Christmas tree by the front door I wouldn't really class as 'decorating the property' and would have been extremely disappointed if we hadn't taken things from home, so something to be mindful of if having a Christmas stay as it was the least festive feeling property.
The property as a whole was clean and tidy throughout with no real issues on this, though it did have a number of cobwebs in every room, guess this is common in a cottage?
The log burner was a nice touch, there is minimal wood provided so you will need to buy some additional - Tesco's were sold out, but there was an Esso garage nearby that had plenty. Be mindful when having the doors open as it did set off the fire alarms due to black smoke bellowing out, though we were using small amounts of wood, I would suggest that the chimney may need sweeping. The neighbours came to check on us - which was nice.
Location wise, its very central to most places within 30-40 minutes round trips. I would recommend the Reindeer Farm 10 minutes down the road for a festive experience! So would happily stay in Meysey Hampton again.
Overall it was a pleasant stay at Gable Cottage, we wouldn't stay here again, but as a first experience in the Cotswolds it was a positive one, we would just go for a bigger property next time.
