The Mews
The Mews is an exceptional find in the heart of Tetbury. Staying here is like stepping into a design magazine with carefully chosen furnishings and walls adorned with conversation starting art. Style and elegance go hand in hand throughout from the minimalist kitchen to the cosy sitting area with its pops of colour. Tetbury is a buzz of activity with popular eateries, vintage stores made for rummaging and the ever-popular Highgrove shop. Visit the arboretum at Westonbirt, the gardens at royal Highgrove or adventure at the Cotswold Lakes.
Overview
The Mews is full of the unexpected. When you first arrive you do not imagine the quirky interiors that await. High ceilings reach above you as you explore, stopping often to admire the art from images of Kate Moss to limited edition prints.
The open plan living area has been cleverly split into three zones. The large kitchen is sleek with gold accents and is incredibly practical. Alongside sits a dining area for four where soft throws add a touch of luxury and comfort to your breakfasts. In the evenings the many restaurants of Tetbury are hard to resist! After spending your day exploring, the sitting area is a great place to chill out. Curl up on the sofa and watch TV which is cleverly disguised. Heading upstairs the details continue with eye-catching furniture and artwork with a musical influence. Upstairs, both bedrooms feel bright and welcome and the master bedroom is made extra special with a four-poster bed. These share a marbled bathroom waiting for you to have a relaxing soak.
Ground Floor
Entrance Hall
Your introduction to The Mews is the entrance hall which stretches before you. The dramatic monochromatic staircase leads up to the first floor from here and at the end is access to the open plan living area and cloakroom.
Open Plan Kitchen/Dining/Living Area
Subtle colours with pops of brightness make this a characterful room. Spend some time appreciating the art with a cup of tea. The kitchen is spacious and has an oven and hob, kettle, toaster, coffee machine and dishwasher. The dining area is tucked beside the kitchen units with a bench and chairs to seat four. At the end of the room the sitting area has two comfortable sofas and a side chair with a footstool so everybody can spread out. It’s a lovely spot to watch a film or read a book.
Cloakroom
At The Mews, even the cloakroom is well-styled. Green panelling and quirky animal portraits add a touch of the unordinary. There is a WC and basin here.

The house is centrally-sited within Tetbury, making it an ideal location for walking around or exploring further the wider area. Fran and Phil's video showing us where the house was placed and how to access the parking space was excellent - so helpful and such a good idea. The house suited our needs perfectly.

Memorable Cotswolds stay at The Mews
The Mews enjoys an ideal location within Tetbury, very close to the town centre, but in a very quiet mews with full access to a beautiful private garden. Secure private parking and easy access to the property with the help of the host made the arrival experience straightforward. The cottage is spacious, with a rich and modern interior on two floors in pristine condition. Ideal for a couple or a family of four (or two couples). Fantastic kitchen with everything one might need. Easy control of heating and hot water, spacious bathroom, Alexa to assist and play music. Fran, our host was super helpful all along, flexible with the timing of arrival and departure, we were greeted with a small hamper box.Highly recommended.
Adam
Great location downtown with a dedicated parking spot which definitely was a plus. Beautiful home which is very nicely decorated. The kitchen was large and modern and the extensive gardens were very peaceful. Fran, the owner, was extremely responsive to our questions and even video chatted with us when needed. We would love to stay there again the next time that we are in town.

Guest
The Mews is a well presented period property beautifully furnished in a mix of contemporary and more traditional styles. Warm and comfortable, it is a home from home and is stocked with everything you might need. Well situated in a quiet, peaceful location, it is just 1 minute from the main road through Tetbury and accessible on foot to the shops, bars and restaurants in just minutes. We appreciated the dedicated parking space and the thoughtfulness of the owners who kept in touch. Highly recommend this property.

We loved so much staying in your wonderful house. It felt like home to us while being abroad. The Cotswolds are beautiful and we enjoyed the shops in Tetbury. Thanks for beautiful new memories.
Elen
Thank you for a wonderful stay. My husband had a great 50th birthday and we really enjoyed the treats you left for us. Tetbury is beautiful with so many fabulous cafes shops. My family didn’t want to leave and decided they want to live in your amazing house. This really is a wonderful place. Many thanks the Thomas family.
Cotswold break for 2
Tetbury is a great location for a holiday. Not as busy and crowded as some Cotswold towns but with enough shops, pubs and restaurants to be self-sufficient and all the other main attractions are not far away by car. The National Arboretum and Cirencester are recommended.
The Mews is centrally located within a quiet corner of the town and a short walk to several nice pubs, cafe's and restaurants. A good convenience store is a short walk and a large supermarket a very short drive. The apartment was spotlessly clean on arrival and furnished and decorated to a very high standard. Would certainly return.
Lee
We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful days we spent in your beautifully furnished holiday home. Right from the moment we arrived we felt incredibly welcome the warm reception and the delicious gifts were such a lovely surprise and immediately put a smile on our faces. It’s clear that a lot of love and care went into decorating the house. Every corner reflects your attention to detail and good taste, we felt at home right away. We were also very impressed by the art. Thank you so much for everything. We sincerely hope to return one day!
