Full Description
When you arrive at Otley House you will be delighted by its location, walking distance from the centre of Cheltenham but with the many sights and sounds of the Cotswolds easily reached. Its red brick exterior and coloured glass door hides the contemporary and spacious accommodation found inside. Made for celebrations and family gatherings the kitchen opens out into the garden creating an impressive space. You will fill the home with conversation, family feasts, evening board games and create precious memories together.

Otley House makes the best of the space with a snug and dining area to the front of the house and a kitchen with a sitting area to the rear. The wood burning stove in the snug and comfortable velvet sofas makes this a place to put your feet up and enjoy your surroundings. Flashes of colour in greens and golds add elegance. The kitchen is flooded with light from the bi-fold patio doors and skylights in the high ceiling and cooking meals here will be an enjoyable group experience. A comfortable corner sofa lets guests spread out and the children have plenty of space to play and fill the house with laughter. Upstairs each of the four bedrooms has plump, inviting bedding and the master has a feature fireplace adding interest in this dark blue themed room. With sheepskin rugs and cushions these retreats have a luxurious feel and will be welcoming at the end of the day.

You can spend long summer evenings in the garden with a glass of champagne, or head out to the delights of nearby Bath Road, The Suffolks or the centre of Cheltenham for a meal and cocktails. There is off-road parking for 2 cars and additional on-street spaces can be found nearby.

Thank you! We had such a lovely weekend in your beautiful house. It was perfect for our little get together and we would stay again. If the weather had been better we would have really enjoyed the lovely garden too!

A lovely house in a good location to get into central Cheltenham. Easy to get taxis or an easy 20/25 minute walk. Comfy beds and good bathrooms. A great place to stay with friends for a weekend away. Thank you.

We chose Otley House based on our specific requirements and it met the need. Parking was easy (at least for one car), beds were comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped and comfortable as a sitting area, we loved the gas burning stove. The garden would be ideal if the weather was good enough to enjoy it. In general, everything was perfectly clean and well maintained.

A great venue with excellent quality facilities. The spacious house hosted a family reunion with young and old all able to find their own space as well as large dining table for spending time together. Not sure what the neighbours thought of us taking over like we did!!

Location

You will find yourselves needing to return to Otley House as there is so much to see and do. Spending a week here you could easily not travel further than Cheltenham with its festivals, racing and arts and culture. There are a vast array of pubs, clubs, restaurants, and cafes waiting to be discovered. Many walks are nearby with Leckhampton Hill, Cleeve Hill and the parks and gardens of Cheltenham. Further afield are quaint villages with Broadway, Cirencester and Bourton-on-the-Water less than a forty-minute drive.
