My husband and I along with another couple stayed with Judith and John for two nights. What wonderful host they were and a wealth of information on gardening and the local area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this perfect setting with wonderful garden. Great local in a quiet village, with local Pub. Close enough to take day trips to... More

We felt most welcomed and taken care of...starting with a nicely prepared breakfast in the morning and a little chat with our wonderful hosts, sharing funny stories and giving... More

My husband, myself and our adult daughter stayed there for 4 nights and it wasn't long enough. Judith and John were wonderful hosts and felt like we were staying with friends. The rooms were great, the breakfast's were great . Best was getting to know Judith and John. We will go back, for sure. Sondra

Hosts Judith and John went out of their way to make our stay a pleasure. Our double room, overlooking the stunning garden, was spacious and extremely comfortable, with every detail taken care of. Breakfast was delicious and... More

I saw the picture of the garden in a Bed and Breakfast review and the guarantee of a thatched cottage. It sold me and we stayed. Staff - Overall, I felt like I was walking on egg shells with our hostess. After leaving, my mother said "British really don't like Americans, do they?" My Dad was needing to use internet,... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gowers Close. A lovely house with loads of character and a beautiful garden. The bedroom was really comfortable. David and Judith were very welcoming and even gave gardening tips. Altogether we thoroughly recommend this as one of the best B&Bs we have stayed at.

We highly recommend Gower’s Close. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming. The thatched cottage is well cared for and full of character, and the garden looked wonderful, even in the rain. We were able to park on the road outside the door in the peaceful village. Our bedroom was comfortable, pretty and beautifully warm (in November) and there was ample... More

We stayed at Gower's Close in April 2007 and weren't disappointed by the lovely building. It is a typical thatched cottage just as you'd wish to stay in when visiting the Cotswolds. I am sorry to say that this is as far as the Sawday's (this is who Gower's Close advertise through. Sawday's promote themselves as advertisere of "Special Places... More
