Had a lovely stay in the cottage in Tetbury, very central to everything. Wonderful places to eat.
Cottage was very clean and a nice cake awaited us on arrival, along with some milk.
Log burner made it very cosy I the evenings, but we felt a curtain across the door would have been helpful to stop the draughts coming in.
The first bedroom, the radiator needs attention, it was set on cold, but was still pumping out heat.
All in all a lovely stay.

Hi there

The cottage was great in a fantastic location close to all the lovely shops
Beds were very comfortable
Cottage very clean

One thing to point out was that there was an unpleasant amonia smell from the kitchen - I know that this cannot be helped if its got any damp etc but just wanted to make you aware that we could not really use the dining area due to this.

A very comfortable cottage conveniently situated in the centre of Tetbury so easily within walking distance of restaurants & shops.
Cottage beautifully furnished. Parking was sometimes a challenge but luckily secured a space outside both on arrival & departure which was good.
The owner thoughtfully delivered two fans during our stay which were much appreciated in the very warm weather.
The road the cottage is on is busy so there was always traffic noise but that is to be expected in a busy town like Tetbury.
A washing up bowl in the kitchen sink would be useful as would a tray for placing/draining washed pots. There was no washing up liquid in the kitchen & we did not feel it necessary to use the dishwasher as we didn’t cook at all during our stay,

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at New Church cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean, and well equipped. We really appreciated the lovely touches of flowers, milk and an apple pie. The cottage was warm and cosy, the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the location in the centre of Tetbury.

Traveling from Chicago, the main reason I chose New Church Cottage for our visit to the Cotswolds was that it was in walking distance to restaurants and pubs. We didn't want to have a car because we aren't practiced at driving on the left, so walkability was important. The cottage was very convenient for exploring the charming village of Tetbury. We definitely needed to book transport in advance, but it worked out. We were able to get rides back and forth from Kemble train station for excursions to Bath and to and from Paddington.
The cottage was very clean, furniture was comfortable, beds and bedding all great. Many thanks for a memorable stay.

We stayed for a week before Easter to celebrate our wedding anniversary with friends. The cottage had many welcoming touches like flowers and basics provided in the kitchen. The weather was rather wet so it was lovely to come back to a cosy refuge. The beds, linen and bathrooms were all comfortable and a high standard which is crucial to enjoying a relaxing break. The location couldn't have been more central, and we managed to park just outside. There were so many places to visit nearby, and so many places to eat and drink in Tetbury! Our only reservation was that, as we were all tall people, we did feel a little conscious of a few low beams. Generally everything was so nicely decorated with well-chosen furniture and objects that it was a pleasure to stay there. We couldn't enjoy the little garden due to the weather but that would be an asset in better times.

Comfortable stay. comfortable beds, well decorated. Nice welcoming touches. Warm and cosy


Some challenges with parking and noise outside.
Would benefit from additional teatowel and a draining surface for dishes beside the sink.
Gutter at back porch needs cleaning as it is leaking inside and dripping down kitchen wall.

Our family had a lovely stay at the New Church Cottage. It was a beautiful, traditionally decorated home that was in a great location to enjoy Tetbury and the Cotswold’s area. Shops, restaurants and grocery stores in very close walking distance so it was very convenient. We definitely highly recommend this property.

We received full details before we arrived, making it easy to gain access to the beautiful cottage and find our parking space. The cottage was beautifully decorated, furnished and spotless. Everything we needed was provided. Having a local co op nearby for us to purchase food. We sat in the court yard and played scrabble as a family. We had some lovely walks daily and some lovely meals out in Tetburys local restaurants. Everything was on our doorstep which was ideal. The locals were so friendly. We had such a lovely sumner break and we made some lasting memories, with the cottage being a big part of them.

We booked last minute to visit New Church Cottage and had an excellent time. The cottage was perfect for us and was a real home from home. Everything was newly renovated and extremely comfortable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Tetbury is a lovely town and we used it to plan various walks and enjoy some great food.

This is a charming little mid-terraced cottage in the heart of Tetbury. It is well equipped and very comfortable. We were very pleased to be here, and were pleased to have the benefit of a parking space. Everything was to hand, has good places to eat close by, and easy access to places of interest. Highly recommended particularly for a couple.

Excellent cottage. Decoration and furnishings are excellent .
The cottage is a credit to the owners.
The owners have tried to think of everything.
The cake and fresh flowers were lovely.
My only concern was the property was on a very busy road and the traffic noise is very loud.Hence my scores on comfort and location
Property description should mention the traffic noise but the cottage is great
Tetbury is a lovely town, lovely cafes and shops.
The owners of the cottage are lovely..

Great cottage in lovely Tetbury. Well decorated and very comfortable. Would suggest maybe best for 2 people from the bedroom storage of most drawers in top bedroom and most hanging in lower bedroom but ok for 4 if you can manage with that as there are 2 bathrooms. Kitchen storage smallish so again fine for 2 or if eating out part of the time and not big meals in. Stairs quite tight so not for infirm I’d suggest. Tetbury is lovely and well located. Cirencester nearest biggish town.
Lovely stay overall. Would definitely return.

The cottage is really well located in the centre of Tetbury, a charming town with fabulous antique and interior shops plus quirky cafes. The garden at the Close Hotel is fabulous for drinks and eating. We’re big walkers and loved exploring the countryside and Westonbirt Arboretum which is mind blowing.
We found the cottage really comfortable and appreciated the open log fire on the chilly evenings. There was just the two of us, I think four adults around the kitchen table would be a real squeeze! The owners were very communicative about arrival/departure and everything went smoothly. We’d definitely stay here again.

This is a lovely well furnished and equipped property. We visited in early December and were delighted to find Christmas decorations, including a Christmas tree and flowers in the kitchen. It is just this level of attention to detail that makes the property very special. The kitchen had everything we needed, and was by the far the best of any rental properties we’ve stayed in both here and abroad. It felt like you were staying at home. The property was scrupulously clean, the bedding and soft furnishings sumptuous. I would thoroughly recommend New Church Cottage.

Perfect location in Tetbury just off the top end of High Street close to all the shops, pubs and cafes, etc, but not too busy. The house is beautiful, the owners have decorated it to a really high standard with elegant touches and very comfortable furnishings. You feel that you are being spoilt. Extremely comfortable beds and very well appointed bathrooms. There was just the two of us so we had a bedroom and bathroom each which made it extra special having lots of space and comfort, perfect for friends and just as lovely for 2 couples. A perfect weekend bolthole or for longer stays. Highly recommended.

We took my elderly mother away for the weekend and New Church Cottage suited us perfectly. It is furnished very comfortably and we especially loved the bedrooms which were well decorated and cosy.The beds were particularly sumptuous.
We enjoyed eating 'Al fresco' in the pretty courtyard garden.

Beautiful cottage in a great location. This is our 3rd visit. However, we were not advised of the pre planned roadworks which went on till 3am on one occasion and had very little sleep. Had we have known this we would have changed the date. Bolthole retreats were advised but did not really seem interested and am awaiting their response.

Nicola gave excellent information before our arrival. We contacted Paul with a problem with the internet and he was extremely helpful and got it working for us.
The property is beautifully decorated and furnished with a lovely courtyard. We had everything we needed. Location good, within walking distance of shops and restaurants.
Generally it was very clean, especially the kitchen and bathrooms. However the covers on the armchairs need washing as do the pillows.

I just loved my week in this gorgeous cottage / mini townhouse.
Beautifully appointed, very comfortable downstairs and slept incredibly well in fabulous bedroom. Excellent fast WiFi which was important too.
All the amenities that Tetbury offers are an easy flat walk and the little town has just about everything you need. I was staying on my own and it was just perfect in every way. The private off street car parking space is a huge plus point too. Definitely recommend and would love to return. As has been noted before - if any mobility problems getting up and down stairs they require due care & attention.

Great location close to restaurants,however very busy and noisy road.Had issue with fire place re not being able to use it as it had birds. Then not being able to use it as neighbours ask you not to due to fumes going into their upper bedroom where the baby sleeps of their property.
Property manger told us to use fire place, she then called and asked if she could compensate us somehow, to not get a bad review, and to think about what we would like.When i emailed back saying maybe a refund would be nice....Never heard from her... Very disappointed.
The issue with fire place has been ongoing for quite a while according to neighbour.
The lovely neighbour actually gave us a bottle of wine to thank us for not using the fire place.
The beds match the style of the property, however with the uneven floors, it feels like your head is much lower than your feet. It Wasn’t a very nice feeling laying on the bed.

Excellent location in village despite noisy, busy road. Close to Highgrove and Westonbirt Arboretum. A lot smaller than shown in the photographs. Floors uneven as with many properties of this age but added to the charming character of the house. Full of interesting 'objet d'art' and antiques, but leaves little room for guest's belongings etc. A few hooks behind doors wouldn't go amiss as would a few drawers. Dining is very tight for 4 adults. Couldn't use the open fire but central heating was adequate and hot water was plentiful. There were a few issues which the owner promptly sorted. Comfy, but small beds. Flowers and cake were a nice touch!



New Church Team replied more than 1 year ago
Dear Paula, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay, but would like to offer the following response to the issues you raised. There are some ‘objets d’art’ but we do get many compliments about how they make the house feel like a home so we do hope you enjoyed them and felt free to move them. There are hooks behind each bathroom door for you to hang robes and your own clothing so we wonder whether you missed these? There are also sets of drawers in each bedroom in which you can put your clothing and belongings. We are not quite sure what you mean by ‘small beds’? The top floor has a sumptuous king size French antique bed and the first floor has a standard double, so neither bed is undersized. Despite these we really hope you had a lovely time and wish to visit again. If you do we will ensure we make your stay extra special on every count. Best regards, NEW CHURCH TEAM

Cottage is done out beautifully with nice antiques and is perfectly located to explore the many wonderful shops in Tetbury. However, beware the traffic is pretty heavy on the street where its located and there is an issue with the neighbour over fumes from the open fire - beware he may knock on the door if you try to have a fire. Overall a pleasant stay marred by traffic and odd neighbour.
