Very clean, lovely location, had everything we needed. We went with friends, so it worked very well with the bedrooms being at completely opposite ends of the house. The owner, Sue, was very friendly and helpful. Can't think of a single reason to give it anything other than 5 stars. Would certainly stay there again.

We have just returned from a wonderful weeks stay in the Sail Loft. The property is well located, very well equipped, clean and comfortable. The owner, Sue, is on hand should you have any queries or issues, and made us feel very welcome. We visited several National Trust properties including Newark Park, Dyrham Park and Tyntesfield, plus SlimbriRead moredge for bird watching, and we even travelled the 45 minute journey into Wales to visit Chepstow Castle. There are lots of restaurants and pubs in the area - we would recommend The Bell Inn (Frampton), Amalfi Italian (in Nailsworth and Minchinhampton) and Panevino (Chepstow). We highly recommend the Sail Loft and would definitely want to visit again in the future. Hide
