Great experience in a wonderful location

We enjoyed a short break in one of the Rosebud Meadow pods - there are very comprehensive instructions about what to bring and what was already provided, so we knew what to expect. The pod was warm and cosy (and we had dry weather), and the shower block is immaculate (great water pressure and plenty of hot water). We enjoyed seeing the horses and goats abs bought some goats' milk toiletries as souvenirs as we left. Rosie always answered emails quickly leading up to our stay, and as everything was so well-prepared and explained, we didn't need to contact her whilst we were there. Thanks for a lovely relaxing break, Rosie!

Fantastic break

My wife got me this gift as a Christmas present and we decided to use it to celebrate my birthday. Unsure where to go we opted to be near the cotswolds we found La Fontana a family run hotel and italian restaurant. There was an option to upgrade the room so we upgraded to a superior room and wow what a room we got. A queen size bed, two armchairs a large flat screen tv, a coffee machine, kettle then there was the bathroom with a large shower, wc, his and hers sinks and a massive jacuzzi bath. The hotel was spotlessly clean the staff were very friendly the food was delicious. All around a great way to celebrate my birthday. We hope to return again next year to see more of the area.
