Overlooking Westonbirt Arboretum in the distance, Charlton Down Cottage is a beautifully renovated country cottage. Nestled along tree-lined lanes just outside Tetbury it provides a refreshing retreat for couples and their dogs. Leave the car behind and explore the surrounding countryside on foot, dine in picturesque Tetbury and enjoy slow days of relaxation at Charlton Down Cottage. The location is inspiring, and each room comes with an enviable garden view that stretches to the treeline of Westonbirt which is within walking distance. The cottage is a spacious haven with everything you could need for a rejuvenating break in the Cotswolds.

Wonderful trip

We had an excellent stay at this lovely well located and extremely well equipped cottage. The owners had worked hard to make this a really nice property to rent for a long weekend (or longer). A couple of lamps (standard and table) in the sitting room would be the only suggestion we'd make to give it a more 'cosy' feel. Other than that it was perfect.

We were delighted with the interior and garden of the property. It is a private, secure and quiet location. But what really stood out to us ( and we've stayed all over) was the outstanding cleanliness throughout and thoughtfulness provided by Housekeeping - thank you so much.

This house is perfect in every way. There is lots of space and the furniture is beautiful and stylish. The kitchen has all the equipment you need and the crockery and cutlery is of a high standard. It has exceptionally comfortable beds and quality bed linen with lovely blinds for a good nights sleep and a marvellous shower to enjoy in the morning. It’s a beautiful location, with parking and very quiet. The cottage is spotlessly clean and very well maintained. Just wonderful!

Charlton Down Cottage is an impressive, solid Cotswold cottage in a secluded position on a very quiet lane, yet only five mins from Tetbury centre by car. The cottage is light and spacious, cosy and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. The beds are really comfortable and the bathroom is huge! The garden is completely secure for smaller dogs so ours was fine pottering about on his own. Thoroughly recommend

As far as the comfort, it would have been better if a lighter weight blanket was used on the beds. The one provided was a winter weight one. Also, the shower floor was very slippery so I had to put a wash cloth on the floor to ensure no one slipped or fell in the shower. This could be a problem for future renters.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay at Charlton Down Cottage. We are disappointed to read the points that you have raised. We have shared your feedback with the owner and housekeeper who wish that you had contacted them during your stay as they would have been very happy to come out and look at the shower. They have also let us know that they have purchased a non-slip mat for the shower and are looking to purchase some summer duvets.

Excellent cottage

Excellent cottage with top quality facilities and decoration and great location. Offers best of both worlds feeling remote but a short drive from Tetbury.

A real escape - with just the birds & the sound of the occasional horse snorting for company, the cottage is thoroughly & beautifully equipped.

Views over fields were peaceful & pretty much everything has been thought of.

We would certainly return

We booked at Charlton Down Cottage, the booking experience was very smooth and all the arrival directions and details were easy to follow. The cottage itself was really nice, well equipped, warm and very comfortable. For those wanting fast internet it is worth knowing that the Cottage benefits from full fibre internet from rural broadband specialists Gigaclear which combined with the Smart TV meant it really was home from home. Having left we were contacted pretty quickly to be informed we'd left something behind and both the Bolthole office and Housekeeper were really helpful so we were able to drop by on our way home to collect the items. All in all a very positive experience.
