Discover the best of Gloucestershire when you escape with your four-pawed pal to this unique holiday home in the village of Kemble. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway was originally a telephone exchange and now offers chic, airy accommodation to pups and people. It has a lovely, enclosed lawned garden that your dog will delight in.

Hang dog leads in the hall before wandering into the main living area with your furry friend. A capacious room, with a vaulted ceiling and mezzanine level, this lounge/diner features a wood burner to light during the colder months. Watch the Smart TV or read your books as the fire crackles gently until it is time to prepare a feast for hounds and humans. The chic kitchen has been designed to provide you with everything you need to support you in your endeavours, and you can feed your furry friend here too, while everyone else dines at the table in the main room. Settle your cheerful chum for the night, then make your way off to one of your bedrooms. A cosy twin is downstairs, together with the family shower room, while a fabulous king-size with an en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath is up on the first floor, accessed via the exquisite iron staircase. There is also a work area on the mezzanine landing. Throw open the French doors downstairs so you can dine out in the sunshine while your delighted dog plays on the lawn. This cottage has private, off-road parking for one car.

Venture less than 1 mile to find yourselves in the glorious Cotswolds with its plethora of picturesque footpaths to follow with your dog. Pups are also very welcome at the family-friendly Cotswold Country Park, 3.5 miles away, where they can join you on the walking trails and boat rides.

The old telephone exchange has been done up in to a very stylish but comfortable place to stay. Everything was done to a very high standard and we had everything we needed. The location is great for walks.

This is an absolutely delightful property and although close to the main road noise was not a problem for us. Perfectly situated to visit Stow, Bourton, Tetbury and Cirencester. Equipped with everything you need for a relaxing time and close to 2 local pubs with good food. Also the main train line from Cheltenham, Swindon and London Paddington is Read more5 minutes walk away. Garden completely enclosed for safety of your doggie, if you have one. We had a wonderful, relaxing break after the chaos of Christmas & New Year. Hide

A lovely cottage in a good location. The Christmas tree was a nice touch, as were the doggy bits. Thank you for a warm and cosy week.

We want to thank you for creating a beautiful, warm, inviting home. Classy and wonderful attention to details throughout. We loved the log burner. It was perfect for my birthday treat and felt like the start of Christmas :)

Fantastic accommodation, would recommend, and would visit again, thanks for a great stay! High standard of accommodation, with lots of thoughtful touches. Great location for exploring Cirencester. Great location to use as a base but also great for a cosy night in by the fire!

The property is outstanding, furnished and decorated in a minimalistic but tasteful style, with fittings of the highest possible quality and with a display of almost implausible workmanship - an absolute delight overall, and a triumph of good taste. On top of that - all seemed brand new. 10/10.
