We had a great long weekend in Tetbury to celebrate with friends, 6 adults in the cottage worked well, great lounge area and a well provided kitchen (it was just a bit of a squeeze in one of the beds, but that is considering half the party were over 6ft tall!) Lovely spot, so close to the beautiful town centre where we walked for breakfast every day and right on the Tetbury Trail for a longer stroll. The roof terrace is a great sun trap all day, enjoyed a morning coffee with a book, and also a glass of wine later in the evening. Our only suggestion would be to up the dishwasher tablets and loo rolls! Thanks so much we had a wonderful stay.
