The Coach House in Tewkesbury is highly praised for its superb location, comfort, and well-equipped nature, making it an ideal base for exploring the Cotswolds and local amenities.

While some minor maintenance issues and suggestions for improvements are noted, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests generally find The Coach House clean and well-presented, particularly the living areas and bathrooms. However, there are isolated comments about the kitchen needing a deeper clean and the state of some kitchen items, slightly lowering the score.
The property's location is consistently lauded for being central and convenient, within easy walking distance to the town, shops, pubs, and river walks, making it an excellent base for exploration.
The comfort of The Coach House is well-regarded, with guests mentioning comfortable beds, sofas, and the cosy atmosphere. The presence of two bathrooms adds to the comfort level, though there are some concerns about the steep spiral staircase.
Facilities are generally appreciated, including the well-stocked kitchen and the inclusion of a washing machine and iron. However, suggestions for safety improvements and minor maintenance issues, such as the positioning of the towel rail and the need for a gate, affect the score.
While guests express satisfaction with the amenities provided, there is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches that go beyond the expected provisions of a holiday rental. Therefore, a score cannot be provided for thoughtfulness.

It was in an ideal location. The village itself was lovely and so dog friendly. The Coach House was beautiful and cosy for a much needed lovely relaxing stay. Great to be able to park right outside the cottage too. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend. I am sure we will be back, just a shame it is only one bedroom as our daughter would have loved to come with us next time as we spoke so highly of our stay. Many thanks xx

Perfectly located and it really is a home-from-home. The bed is so comfortable! Be aware - it would be quite easy to walk out of the upstairs bathroom and take a tumble down the spiral staircase, particularly after a few of the local ciders. Maybe a tasteful barrier could be installed for night time safety. We thorughly enjoyed our Coach House stay and would highly recommend it.
