Recently converted self-contained apartment with garden in Cotswold village

The Space:

Double bedroom, en suite shower room, fully equipped kitchen/living room with sofa bed, courtyard garden. WiFi, underfloor heating, freesat TV. Bed linen and towels are provided. On-drive parking is available for two vehicles.

The property is adjoined to the owner's family house, but is completely self-contained with its own access. There is space to store bicycles securely (behind a locked gate). To the rear there is a small, private courtyard garden.

The property is compact but well-equipped and newly decorated and furbished throughout. Everything is new and clean: the conversion was completed in 2016. It will sleep two comfortably. There is also a double sofa bed which will sleep a further two people, but floor space is very limited when the sofa bed is extended, and please be aware that access to the shower room is through the bedroom.

The Studio is self-catering, but breakfast provisions (milk, cereal, granola, porridge etc) as well as coffee and tea are provided.

Babies and children of all ages are very welcome.

The Area:

The village of Poulton has a shop, a well-equipped children's park, a church and a fantastic dining pub, The Falcon Inn, which is renowned for its quality food (booking for dinner, particularly at weekends, is advised, as they are often fully booked in advance).

The village is well situated 5 miles from Cirencester, 3 miles from Fairford, 4 miles from Bibury, and within a half-hour drive of Cheltenham, Stow-on-the-Wold, Burford, Malmesbury and Bourton-on-the-Water. Kemble train station is 10 miles away, with the journey to London Paddington taking just under an hour and a half. Beautiful countryside is on the doorstep - just step outside and start walking!

Nearby attractions include the Cotswold Wildlife Park, Cotswold Water Park (with watersports and a beach), the famous village of Bibury (described by William Wordsworth as "the most beautiful village in England") with its trout farm, Cirencester with it boutique shops, spa hotel, gastropubs and historic architecture, Adam Henson's Cotswold Farm Park, and Swindon's Steam Museum and designer shopping outlet centre. National Trust attractions include Chedworth Roman Villa, Buscot Park and Hidcote Manor Gardens, and the fantastic Westonbirt Arboretum is also nearby.

Local events include the Royal International Air Tattoo in July, the Cheltenham Gold Cup and Cheltenham Festival in March, Cirencester's Phoenix Festival (family music weekend, usually the last weekend of August), and WOMAD world music festival which is held in the summer at Malmesbury. Westonbirt Arboretum holds autumn colour events, and Colesbourne Park holds snowdrops walks in the winter.
Make yourself comfortable in this apartment, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A kitchenette is outfitted with a stovetop and a microwave. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.

Annex is too small
Unfortunately the annex is too small for two people and needs extra space for the bedroom en suite. Bit disappointed on layout as no elbow room even in the kitchenette either. Shower head and shower casing needs cleaning regularly. Won’t be returning

Good location for a 1-2 nighter
The listing showed us all we needed to know about the property description and the owners communicated well during the booking process with very good directions, access instructions and an offer to show us around on arrival. The property had all you would need to cook with even a complimentary bottle of milk, cereal, tea and coffee provided. The property felt clean with lovely bedding for both the bed and the futon and towels provided. It was very compact, the travel cot for our 8 month old would not fit in the bedroom so we had to cook and eat early as she went down to sleep in the kitchenette. We took to the bedroom to stream some TV on our laptop with the free WiFi. We really struggled and could not get streaming to work. The owners were kind enough to respond to messages that evening as we were struggling. Sadly the laptop wouldn't work so we eventually (with the help of the owners resetting their box etc) were able to stream on one of our mobiles. We had all we needed, but a couple of extra touches we thought might be nice were: a little lamp on the desk in the kitchenette for ambience so no need for ceiling lights to be on, a couple of coat hooks in the kitchenette, maybe a bit more made of the outside seating area i.e. fairy lights to make it more appealing, and a TV with free view in the bedroom. If any family has their child sleeping on the futon it would be nice to have the option for a TV in the bedroom. However, all in all a good base for a couple of nights, well situated, and nice hosts. Thanks Phil and Debbie.

Lovely little apartment
I stayed here with my friend and my 11 month old son for one night so we could visit the Cotswold wildlife park. Perfect location for this as it's only 20 minutes away from the park. The apartment was very clean and tidy but was quite small but had everything we needed and was able to accommodate myself and my son's travel cot in one room and my friend used the sofa bed. Check in was very easy and the host was very accommodating and even moved his car so we could both park on the drive. The only thing I found difficult was finding the property, I had to do a couple of drive bys down the road to spot it so a more obvious sign from the road would be useful. Other than this it was a great stay and I would book again

OVERNIGHT STOPOVER
The studio is very small and compact. It was nice to have access to a small outside space but this was marred by being next to an oil tank which was very smelly so could not sit out because of the fumes. The bed was extremely comfortable. Sleep was disturbed because of being situated on a fairly busy main road. Blind in shower room pulled down ok but unable to retract. Needed to pull down at night as headlights from traffic lit up the bedroom. Milk and cereal provided was welcome. There were some biscuits in a jar. One was fully wrapped. The other was open and some had been used. In my view thise should have been removed and replaced with a fresh unopened pack, particularly in the light of COVID 19.

I was really pleased, all we wanted was somewhere to stay for a few nights as we had a family function in the area. The bonus was a lovely walk around the village, Free entry to a local cricket match and a brilliant meal in the local pub where they bent over backwards to meet some challenging dietary requirements. We were also impressed with the abundance of local information and ordnance survey map in the property. One minor criticism is the height of the bed but that's because I'm getting old and have dodgy knees. The flowers were greatly appreciated.

Greeted well after a not so good journey due to the snow. Nice touches with some supplies already in the fridge and a well stocked kitchen with all that you need to cook with. We only spent the evenings there as we were out during the day, but a very comfortable place to be and a good base to explore the area. I would recommend staying here if you are a couple

The property:clean,bright & cheery, w/all the right modern amenities & easy access to other areas.
For our purposes, it was within walking distance to a celebration that took place in the village, and a fast & easy drive to restaurants & shops when we wanted to go out. With the futon, we were even able to have overnight guests for a few night during our stay !

Good place to stay.
The annex was good for 3 adults for two nights. Ideally only a couple would use it for any longer because it is quite small. However two of us had a lot of luggage having been in Italy and the U.K. for almost six weeks and our son had just arrived in the U.K. with a large back pack. If we had been U.K. residents just looking for a week away in the country then space would probably not be an issue. All of the facilities were in excellent condition and good weather meant we ate outside, making the dinette just a bit bigger. The Mason's Arms in the next village served good food so all was well for eating out.

We had a lovely stay at Phil and Debbie's property. The flat was compact but had everything we needed, including a selection of breakfast food and snacks which were much appreciated! The flat is only a 10/15 minute drive to Cirencester, and there are lots of beautiful walks in the surrounding area. We enjoyed our weekend very much, thank you!
