The Shire House microlodge
Liked: Lovely surroundings to walk . Nice and clean accommodation. Friendly staff
Disliked: Did not ike the rubber topped mattress . Very close to the road which is busy . Very awkward especially first thing when we woke up if you need the toilet and the two rooms are being used for showering . There needs to be separate toilets. 2 wet rooms for the 9 that can stay there is not enough . Darker blinds would also be nice as the ones there are sea through when the sun comes up .

No 2 camping pod (four person)
Liked: The staff, well the one staff member what we me on Friday was outstanding, cleanish toilets and shower blocks but could do with a the de-cobweb
Disliked: Pods 2 sleep 4 people, very very basic a kettle provided but yet no cups are also no water points what state it can be used apart from the bathroom sink, in the photos the pods look huge but realistically they are very very small, the fridge is placed on the bottom bunk, pods get very stuffy at night time, they do have a port hole window but if that person on the top bunk open the window it leaves very little room to sleep in the bed. tested our heater our in the early evening as it wasa bit cooler to find the stands are broken If you don’t like spiders then certainly don’t go, we had many in our pod but as of or the bathroom well just close your eyes and hope for the best

Liked: Location. Near a road but you don't really notice. Fantastic base to explore the cotswolds. We love history and you are surrounded by it. With cirencester, bath, Gloucester and many other historic places just on the doorstep. We stayed in the shire house which is fab for 2 people and 2 dogs. Has a fridge and kettle. Bring an extension 4 way lead to plug your extras in. Wifi good enough to run netflix on laptop. Bring a stove to cook on or you can ping in their on site microwave. Showers OK, clean with lots of loo roll!
Disliked: Bed a bit to hard. Remote, roads have poor walkways, no pub in walking distance as nearest closed down.
