The Farrier

location

It stank of stale smoke. No curtains in the main bedroom, dirty, old and rumpled carpets, floors so uneven that the beds weren’t level, window in the twin room wouldn’t close (not ideal for two children under five when there’s a three story drop outside,.

The flat is ok, weird distribution but fine to stay here for a few days if visiting Cheltenham. Just be careful not to need anything that isn´t included in the flat.

This is owned by somebody who has multiple properties and can´t even keep up with which ones have clients stayling. This flat is at the top floor and is fully blasted by the sun during the whole day, the main bedroom only has a very small and very high window. Unluckily we went in a heat wave and to our surprise there wasn´t even the simplest fan for us. We asked for one and it got sent to a property in another city! I totally understand that a heat wave is something that happens on counted occasions (for now) but you expect to have people to service the flat and to have thought about things beforehand. We came here at the end of a trip to many places and at each of our destinations we were welcomed with a fan, except for this place. They have no service as the owners don´t live in the city and do not have anybody working there at all to cover any needs. We hardly slept and boiled in bed during the nights we stayed.

Good location. Comfy beds. Clean and tidy. Apartment well resourced.

Sofa, chairs not comfy. Dining table odd design/rickety. Coffee table odd design. Shower/ toilet room very small, only small shelf for wash things.

It was all good. The apartment was well kitted, nicely decorated and very comfortable - just what we needed for our stay and a very pleasant short walk (5 mi)n from the centre and shops restaurants etc...as well as Waitrose in the other direction.

I wouldn't ever book a unit on what was effectively the 3rd floor with the amount of luggage we had for our lengthy journey from Malaysia and also we were short of towels so had to ask and discover the laundry room one floor down to obtain what ought to have been provided as we booked for 4 adults. Not anyone's fault but the ventilation was limited at such a hot time and the damn seagulls so far from the coast oddly were noisy every morning at dawn so sleep not great???r dos

Lovely flat although up 3flights of stairs.

Really needs a blind in the main bedroom as the light flooded in.

The flat is beautifully decorated, warm and cozy with all the creature comforts. The bed was beautiful- I slept extremely well which was needed as my stay was a stopover on a very hectic weekend! Also, my emails weren’t working but I was able to contact Lis and she sent the code for the key box directly to me which saved a lot of worry! Would definitely stay again.

Nothing!
