Tetbury's ancient streets still hold a wealth of unique character.
The town's history dates back to 681, but its heyday as a major market for Cotswold wool was in the Middle Ages. There is still a weekly general market in the Market Hall, and the town as a whole is a mecca for antique hunters, with numerous shops and regular fairs in the area. Forestry Commission's Westonbirt Arboretum, Europe's largest collection of rare plants, is just a short drive away, while the Regency cities of Bath and Cheltenham, Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon, and the internationally renowned Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust are all within easy driving distance of the property.

The cottage is well equipped and equipped an comfortable. Highlights of our visit were visiting the Woodchester mansion and grounds, and eating at The Priory, which is just up the road. (You should book if you want to eat there as it was full when we went - we got the last table)

The Cottage is located very conveniently for visiting the Cotswolds, with the centre of Tetbury just a few minutes by foot and many other attractions within a short drive. The owner was very considerate, responding quickly to any questions we had and providing a lovely welcome pack. We would certainly recommend The Cottage and we would like to return here again in future.
