Guest Book - The Other House

“A beautiful cosy place for anyone looking to spend time in Cotswolds. One of the most well stock Airbnb’s – had everything from all kitchen utensils, cutlery to butter, coffee, eggs, bread waiting for us. The garden is immaculate and much larger than appears in the photo. Most of all, the hosts (Melanie and Adrien) were very kind and responsive. Loved our stay there. Thank you for hosting us!”

“After a day of travelling all over it was nice to be greeted by the host and a lovely puppy! The property is clean, well organised and beautifully designed. The kitchen area and eating area was a nice place to enjoy food whilst looking over the garden. The living and sleeping area is comfortable and clear, we particularly liked the way it flowed through to the patio / garden area. Whilst it rained on the Saturday evening, the property was a great place to watch the rain as it felt so cosy. The surrounding area is a great place to walk and explore and we were particularly grateful for the recommendations in the guest book. Also a big thank you for the bread, biscuits, coffee pods and milk We would recommend staying here as it’s a fantastic place to relax.”

“My wife and I had a wonderful stay at The Other House – we only wish we’d had a few more days! Mel was the perfect host, the space was stunning and the location was ideal for exploring the Cotswolds. Everything was beautifully designed and furnished, the place was spotless, and the private garden was like an oasis. Mel gave us lots of helpful recommendations – of which The Bell at Sapperton was our absolute favourite. We loved it, and would love to return – thank you!”

“Melanie was a lovely and helpful host from the moment we made the reservation until we left. The house itself was impeccable, cozy and a great break from city life as we got to look up at the stars every night and enjoyed breakfast in the wonderful garden every morning. I can’t recommend this place enough and very much look forward to coming back here in the future.”
