Well placed for visiting the Cotswolds and a nice walk to the local pub. Can recommend the Sunday roast.

Fantastic property in a beautiful location. Clean and spacious with all of the conveniences that you will need whilst away from home. Gardens are very well maintained and provide a wonderful setting to sit and enjoy the views. Dog friendly and very responsive owners if you need to ask a question...we couldn't ask for more. Would certainly recommend.

Joannah

The Gables is a really amazing property with the most fantastic views in a stunning location. Weve just spend a wonderful long weekend there together as a family and cant recommend it highly enough. Thank you so much!

Maggie

Had a lovely time at The Gables over Xmas. Very well equipped, immaculately clean and although quite a large house, still cosy and the views are amazing from most rooms. The hot tub was an absolute boon for drizzly and chilly late afternoons after a walk. There are nice walks from the house. The pub in the village was great. Owners are very attentive and left a lovely basket of goodies for us. Thank you.
