Already planning my next stay!

I stayed at Paddock Barn in June, with 5 of my friends for my Hen weekend. I was expecting a "nice" cottage, from what I had seen on the website, but when I arrived I was absolutely shocked... it was amazing. The cottage was a home, away from home, only nicer! The cottage, itself, was luxurious, with everything you would expect from a 5 star rental. It had obviously been very well maintained, as it looks as though no one has stayed before. It was immaculate. Although, I went on a girl's break, and loved every minute of it, I can't wait to go back with my family. I think Paddock Barn is as suitable for a summer weekend break with a group of friends to a winter break with the family.
There are only two things which let Paddock Barn down... The local taxi companies... we struggled to find a friendly one within a reasonable distance. However, this is completely unrelated to the cottage, although it might be worth finding a decent taxi company before you get there. The other thing which lets Paddock Barn down, is the website. It definitely does not do this beautiful cottage, and friendly owner enough justice.
The owner was really friendly. She went out of her way to help out and provided lots of information about the cottage and the surrounding area. There were lots of nice personal touches and when we arrived, we even had a home made cake waiting for us!
We went into Cheltenham town centre on Saturday evening, which had plenty to do, whatever you're after. There seemed to be a few nice pubs and restaurants a bit closer but we had already planned to go into Cheltenham.
Overall, the whole experience was superb and I'm already planning my next stay!
