This appears to be a very safe area. Two stores within walking distance. Two nice pubs a bit farther. This is a park region, with a swimming beach a few miles away, and biking, kayaking, and good hiking. Cirencester, a gateway to the Cotswolds, is a few miles away.
Heathrow is about an hour and a half. Stonehenge and Bath are less than two hours away, but traffic can be difficult.
The good things: The owners are easy to get in touch with and respond quickly. The shower works well and is easy to figure out. Parking is right at the door. There are sufficient utensils and cutlery and the unit appliances all worked appropriately. The cable TV easy to figure out, with adequate directions. The bathroom is decent sized. The unit has large windows that let in a lot of light. Tables and chairs all good.
The negative: It got a little cool (late Sept) and I tried to get a space heater going, but no luck.It did not seem to work like a US space heater. Also, the central heat either was not on, or I couldn't figure it out. But it didn't get that cold so we didn't follow up on it.
The unit has some kind of pay as you go wifi, and a few times we were unable to connect or sustain a connection. However, the owners quickly got the system financed again.
The unit could have been cleaner --- there was some older stuff in the fridge, a little dust, some smudges here and there. It felt like no one had been there for a while.
Overall a safe and convenient place and I would recommend it to anyone. I would stay there again. If the wifi had worked right, I would give it a 5.
Wifi was important to me for work reasons. Happy trails!
