About this cottage rental

When you arrive at Otley House you will be delighted by its location, walking distance from the centre of Cheltenham but with the many sights and sounds of the Cotswolds easily reached. Its red brick exterior and coloured glass door hides the contemporary and spacious accommodation found inside. Made for celebrations and family gatherings the kitchen opens out into the garden creating an impressive space. You will fill the home with conversation, family feasts, evening board games and create precious memories together.

Otley House makes the best of the space with a snug and dining area to the front of the house and a kitchen with a sitting area to the rear. The wood burning stove in the snug and comfortable velvet sofas makes this a place to put your feet up and enjoy your surroundings. Flashes of colour in greens and golds add elegance. The kitchen is flooded with light from the bi-fold patio doors and skylights in the high ceiling and cooking meals here will be an enjoyable group experience. A comfortable corner sofa lets guests spread out and the children have plenty of space to play and fill the house with laughter. Upstairs each of the four bedrooms has plump, inviting bedding and the master has a feature fireplace adding interest in this dark blue themed room. With sheepskin rugs and cushions these retreats have a luxurious feel and will be welcoming at the end of the day.

You can spend long summer evenings in the garden with a glass of champagne, or head out to the delights of nearby Bath Road, The Suffolks or the centre of Cheltenham for a meal and cocktails. There is off-road parking for 2 cars and additional on-street spaces can be found nearby.

The pet fee is NOT included in your booking fee. A request for an additional fee per pet will be sent to you after you have placed your booking.

A group of friends stayed at Otley house for the weekend in December, a great location if you want to visit Cheltenham, it's on a residential street with free parking for those who are coming with 3 or more cars (we all lived in different directions). The walk from the centre is about 35 minutes, and there are some lovely shops in Bath Road as well as pubs along the way. The property had the necessary modern gadgets needed for your stay, ample size fridge/ freezer although there was an error message shown. I appreciate it was December however we all felt the house was colder than thought even though we had put up the heating. We managed to get a small heater for the front room delivered by our host on the Saturday. There is a fire in the front room however we didn't have access to the wood storage for the fire or knew how to start it, I had asked but didn't receive an answer. There is a fire in the kitchen area but on Saturday night we preferred to be in the lounge. I'm sure in the warmer months the house would be ideal, the garden is huge and has a lovely view.

Great place to stay. Lots of space, extremely clean, and clearly lots of effort has gone into making it a home from home.

Family of five with three young kids, we stayed for a week in August 2023 visiting family in Cheltenham. The property is well located, especially with kids as it's nearby a great little park and playing field with a great coffee shop. It's also close to Cheltenham town centre. Parking easy, check in and check out was all done via the lock box, so super convenient. Beautifully appointed house, with the most incredible garden. Highly recommended!
