    "Fabulous property."

    Great location. Welcome treats for humans and dogs a nice touch. Hot tub is excellent. Nothing to fault it, just first class. Only reservation would be not suitable for someone with any mobility issues, due to stairs and steps inside and out.

    Thank you so much for the lovely feedback, we appreciate it, we are glad you found everything you needed and enjoyed your stay, it is an excellent location and we love to welcome everyone including dogs❤️ we do mention on our listing that it's not suitable for people with reduced mobility because of the amount of steps, thanks again.

    "We had a week at this lovely cottage, it's small but cleverly renovated to include everything you need."

    Location is great, right at the end of the main street, and we used the resident's parking which was just around the corner. Hot tub is great. The cottage (and Tewkesbury) have a real feeling of history throughout, and you're right by the river for walks. Our poodle Beryl enjoyed herself, and the provision of a dog bed and treats was appreciated. One warning to people of average height or above, there are low door frames which are very easy to connect with (not in a good way!). We would certainly stay here again if returning to the area.

    thanks for the lovely feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay here ❤️ Tewkesbury is wonderful to explore so much to see and do! the riverside walks are lovely too! sorry you bumped your head the doorways are low... but overall not too bad in cottage standards 200years ago! thanks for your review ❤️ Property Owner

    "Just Back from holiday after staying at your lovely cottage, Tewkesbury is a nice town with an interesting High Street leading to the Abbey which was well worth the visit, dog friendly too which was helpful to us."

    We also had some lovely days out in the Cotswolds passing through some beautiful villages including a visit to the village of Broadway by (steam train !) also a very pleasant day out in Stratford upon Avon and a quick raid on the cider farm on the way home. Your traditional cottage is just what we wanted, perfect for the two of us and our dog Alfie, called in the local butchers for our sausage and burgers for our bbq night, also a great pub (The Black Bear) straight across the road for a couple of scoops in the evening. Many thanks to you both and hope to visit again in the future, Stephen, Pauline and Alfie.

    we are very pleased you enjoyed your stay here in Tewkesbury with us ❤️ it is very dog friendly and rich in history, especially the abbey and the black bear pub and alley ways... on the edge of the Cotswolds so plenty to see and do!we hope to see you again soon Property Owner

    "We had a lovely stay, it was a great base for exploring many different areas of the Cotswolds."

    The house itself was really quirky and so nice to see still having lots of original features. The hot tub and welcome basket were nice added touches. There was only one downside and that was the noise from the pub on the Friday night, this cannot be helped of course and midweek it wasn’t an issue at all.

    Many thanks for the lovely feedback, it is a perfect base to explore the Cotswolds ❤️any music from the pub is only allowed until 10.30pm so hopefully wasn't too much of a problem. We are glad you enjoyed the welcome basket and hot tub.Thanks. Property Owner

    "A nice stay in a well maintained cottage."

    Very comfortable and clean. Only issue was that the next door neighbour’s security floodlight came on whenever you moved in the hot tub, which did make us feel very uncomfortable. Don’t know why it’s adjusted to come on from movement on the other side of the neighbour’s fence but it didn’t feel right. Score would have been higher otherwise.

    Thanks for the feedback, the light is on an alleyway next door so perhaps someone walked past? It is someone else's property but we will mention it to them. Thanks. Property Owner

    "An excellent find!"

    Lovely cottage, very well appointed and a really comfortable bed. I did have reservations about the proximity of the main road but they were unfounded, traffic noise was not an issue. The pub opposite was a popular spot and we ate there during our stay. Very handy for the High Street and the attractions that can be found along its length. Loved the hot tub and the privacy on the terraced garden which is a delightful space to sit, relax, and watch satellites and shooting stars passing overhead while drinking a glass of wine.

    Glad you had a lovely stay, yes we are set down below the adjacent road so noise doesn't bother us. Glad you got to see the wonderful stars.... It truly is a little gem! ❤️Thanks for your review. Property Owner

    The cottage is spotlessly clean with everything we needed. We had a welcome pack on arrival of essentials so we had breakfast the next morning. Very welcome thank you. Avonmeade is full of charm and character of a cottage. It is well situated so access to shops, restaurants, pubs a short walk away. Thank you x

    "Lovely cottage and your description was accurate."

    Need to advise about ceiling height and small internal steps but that is nature of listed cottage. The stairs were very steep so left luggage downstairs, so not a problem. My little dog enjoyed some of your treats too so thank you. Bed linen super, I am going to research the brand. Thank you

    We are so glad you enjoyed your stay here, yes the bedding is wonderful isn't it! ❤️ The stairs are steep and on multiple levels, so we do suggest not suitable if guests have limited mobility. The nature of a 200year old cottage, I'm afraid. So glad your dog enjoyed the welcome treats! Thanks. Property Owner

    "Just back from a 2 night break at Avonmede."

    We had a lovely time - the cottage was very cute and cozy, well equipped with everything we needed for our short stay. The owners had left a welcome basket with butter, jam, marmalade, biscuits, bread and even a bottle of wine for us and provided a dog bed, biscuits and blanket for our pooch, which were all thoughtful touches. We thought it was funny that the dog bed was really for a much smaller dog than our German Shepherd but she tried to get into it nonetheless! The property is well positioned to easily walk around the town and down along side the river and is within easy reach of several pubs - one right opposite, which was very handy and dog friendly too. The hot tub is an added bonus, and it was lovely to relax in it after our long day out walking. I will be recommending to my friends and family with dogs - most excellent.

    Thank you for the lovely feedback, we are glad you will recommend us to your friends and family, sorry your dog didn't fit the bed! But we went for a medium so it was an average size, most people do bring their own anyway. Perhaps he could fit a little bit of him in! There are so many dog friendly pubs and shops as well as cafes in Tewkesbury it really is an excellent place to bring them... Glad you enjoyed the treats we left for you too, thanks again!

The property

Nestled in a small terrace of beautiful period cottages, right next to the river Avon in Tewkesbury, adjacent to the historic King John's Bridge, lies Avonmede Cottage.

A traditional, cottage dating back to the early 1800's, it has been tastefully furnished using William Morris and Co interiors to stay true to the period.

Lovingly restored to its former glory, the cottage is a perfect choice for those wishing to experience a quaint and dog-friendly, romantic getaway.

With original low beams, and old elm floors, it is set on multi-levels, with nooks and crannies to explore – just remember to mind your head!

Step into the inviting living/dining room, where you can curl up on the plush seating in front of the warming electric fire and select a much-loved film on the TV, ready to enjoy with your favourite tipple in hand.

Conjure up a delicious meal in the well-equipped kitchen, ready to savour at the dining table as you plan the following day's itinerary.

On warmer evenings, why not fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco out in the rear enclosed garden, followed by a relaxing dip in the bubbling hot tub?

Indulgent soft bath robes are provided to wrap up in after a lovely evening watching the stars in the secluded outdoor hot tub which is just made for two.

Make your way back inside to freshen up in the well-appointed shower room after a day of adventure.

Continue upstairs to find a handy cloakroom, as well as a light and airy double bedroom with wrought iron bed, fitted with indulgent soft Egyptian cotton linen bedding, overlooking the nearby river.

Right on your doorstep, you can treat your other half to a meal at the oldest pub in Tewkesbury, Browns Garden, dating back to the 1500’s.

Tewkesbury has a plethora of activities to enjoy, boating, fishing, museums, and antique centres, as well as cafes, pubs and shops that are all dog friendly.

Venture further into the town, where you can tour the Tewkesbury Museum, visit the fascinating Tewkesbury Battlefield, well-known for where the War of the Roses came to head, dine at Gupshill Manor, picnic in the Vineyards Park, enjoy wildlife rich walks through the Tewkesbury Nature Reserve, or enjoy leisurely strolls along the River Severn and up towards the River Avon.

Next stop is Cheltenham, home to the popular Gold Cup held annually at the racecourse in March, as well as The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum, the Pittville Pump Room and the Victorian Everyman Theatre.
