Guest access You will have access to the whole house and garden. The cottage has been recently sympathetically renovated in traditional style and has everything you would need for a comfortable country break. Bisley is a beautiful village much of it built in the 17th and 18th century with with wealth generated by the woollen industry. Roots of the village go back to the Roman times and our neighbours house is recorded in the Doomsday book. The village has its own church with active bell ringers. A small shop shop and two great pubs. All this means it enjoys a "conservation" status with many of the buildings "listed"..including "The Row". Parking for the Row is on the road 50 metres from the house. Other things to note Bear in mind the stairs in this old cottage may be steeper and doorways lower than you are used to. (Bisley folk born in the 18th century were shorter than today). Also, storage space is limited in the First floor bedroom. Cooking is by a' Rayburn' stove with hotplates. (Same as an 'Aga'). These cooking stoves are traditional features of many Cotswold cottages. They provide room heat as well as a means to cook. Fear not..there is also a a Microwave incorporating an oven, toaster, small hot plate and electric kettle. Bisley is a 'dark village'. It has decided not to have street lights (great for star-gazing) so a torch is helpful. One is provided in the cottage. We have lovely neighbours who enjoy a generally quiet and peaceful village so please bear this in mind. No parties please and excessive noise after 11pm. With notice, checking in/out times and luggage storage can usually be extended.
