Laurel House

Excellent B&B situated within easy walking distance of the town centre. Very comfortable room, lovely breakfast and wonderful hosts who made us feel like house guests rather than customers. Little touches like fresh flowers and fresh milk in the room really make a difference. Highly recommended.

This was our fourth or fifth stay with Hugh & Jillie and I know it won’t be our last. Returning here is like a home from home, the apartment is very comfortable. The large and airy bedroom would be ample space alone but with our own sitting/dinning room, where a freshly cooked breakfast is served, a small kitchen and a bathroom with a shower over the bath we could stay here much longer than a few days if necessary and never feel cramped. Only a 15-20 stroll into town, with a good selection of shops, a lovely museum and a great choice of pubs and restaurants we leave our car parked on the driveway. They are perfect hosts who make us feel welcome, thanks for another wonderful stay, see you again soon I hope.

As soon as we got to Laurel House we were made to feel welcome by our good humoured hosts. We were in the basement apartment which has 2 bedrooms, a sitting room, kitchen and bathroom and is beautifully furnished. We only used the main bedroom which is very spacious, has an incredibly comfortable bed and 2 easy church and large TV. The lounge is huge - a very large TV - leather sofa and armchairs and large dining table where we were served a delicious breakfast each morning. The well equipped kitchen was useful. The bath and shower were both excellent. The sitting room and main bedroom both have French doors looking out onto attractively planted shrubs. There is also parking which was much appreciated. Laurel House is about a max 10 min walk to Cheltenham High Street. It's at the opposite end of the town to Montpellier but everything is walkable. We walked to a bus stop by the hospital (about 5 mins away), and got the 99 bus to Gloucester - it puts you off near the cathedral which is well worth a visit, (we paid £5.50 each to do the excellent Guided Tour. The bus fare was around £10 return for two of us. We recommend the Eurasia Restaurant which is minutes away from Laurel House, and particularly The Istanbul kitchen which is a out 15 mins walk away. There's also a very good Londis shop 3 mins from the accommodation. We spent 4 very enjoyable days at Laurel House and would definitely go back.
