Lovedays Cottage, A Luxury 16th Century home in Painswick

Beautiful cottage that was well appointed with everything we could want or need to prepare meals, wash clothes, TV and stay warm. There was even a Scrabble game, which we put to good use. A perfect and spotless landing pad for our group of three adults.

The only downside of our stay, and we knew it going in: We couldn't check in early. One traveler was 80 and flying over the Atlantic and not getting any sleep and then driving from Heathrow for 90 minutes wiped him out. And we couldn't check in before 4 p.m. We understood rules are rules. Sadly we watched from the parking area as that empty cottage sat unoccupied and we slept in the car. Rules are rules. We wished there had been some flexibility given we were not coming in right after the previous guests. They were clearly long gone.

Everything

Had a little trouble with the heat.

Great location in a picturesque village

Nothing

The location is very good, with close proximity to attractions , coffee shop next door with friendly staff and delicious brews a bonus.

Unfortunately, its not luxurious as advertised,some areas need refreshing , the carpet in the entry & lounge need repair, had nails sticking up, not the best as we were asked to remove our shoes when on the carpeted areas.overall a nice enough stay, 3 out of 5,free local parking is insinuated,but not guaranteed, if others take it first your out of luck, dont be surprised if random cars are parked right out the front door,
