Hillside Cottage was in a fantastic location and the sitting/dining room was lovely and cosy with beautiful autumnal views. We found the log burner difficult to keep lit which was disappointing. The shower was very weak and lacking pressure. Also insufficient hot water for a bath on arrival. There is a musty slightly damp odour in the property.

Had a great time in a cosy atmosphere. We had everything we needed at hand and didn't need to worry about anything. Can only recommend :)

Traveling from the US with family, we needed a home base from which to explore the Cotswolds. Hillside Cottage was a snug, quiet place where we could rest after our daily adventures. We enjoyed the market on Saturday and all of the pubs and shops in town. Just walking around Tetbury was really enjoyable, such a pretty place. We are already talking about “next time”.

Lots of restaurants and pubs to choose from. Great access to main and country roads. Lots of sites from country market days to Roman ruins and tea rooms. Great location.

Very cosy cottage in a peaceful village. Comfortable, clean and recently refurbished. You need to be OK with stairs and not be too tall to fit the door frames ;-)

We spent three nights in this delightful cottage which was exactly as advertised and provided a very comfortable base from which to explore Tetbury and the surrounding area. We were fortunate with the weather so were able to enjoy the enchanting garden which is set on three levels. There were some nice touches such as complimentary biscuits and wine on arrival. Centrally located, there were several good pubs and restaurants on our doorstep and we especially enjoyed early evening drinks in the Close Hotel garden followed by a delicious dinner served at the Royal Oak. We plan to return soon to further explore the Cotswolds and would definitely recommend Bolthole Retreats for quality and value for money.

Hillside Cottage is pretty and located very near the centre of Tetbury. The rooms are light and airy and cool on hot days. Our complaint is with a very slow lack of response from the owner and their agent re an unstable/ unsafe toilet seat and lack of an airer to dry washing. Consequently, we had washing draped around the house to dry. The inventory had said that there was an airer in the house. It took from a Tuesday until a Thursday for an airer to be delivered and that was after intervention by the Bolthole Company as we had had no response from the local agent. The toilet seat problem was not resolved and we were told it was an ongoing problem that the owners knew about. It would have been extremely useful to have had a microwave as we would normally buy supermarket ‘ready meals’ whilst on holiday. It would also have been nice to have a teapot. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but it was overshadowed by the above. We felt it was an expensive rental and therefore we should have had better service

Rented cottage to catch up with girlfriends & to visit westonbirt & Tetbury. Cottage on a very steep hill - very quiet & friendly. Hill not for anyone unfit or with mobility issues - stairs to attic bedroom very steep & narrow tread! Garden area on three levels also. Cottage lovely, warm & welcoming - quality towels, bed linen & utensils & furniture. Good central location - lovely cafe in the goods shed /arts centre at the bottom of the hill. JMC
