Little Honey Bee

Little Honey Bee: Gloucestershire

This Cheltenham pad has a lot to write home about, but our favourite is the attention to detail. You're in good hands with host Bren – everything you could possibly want or need is taken care of, which means all you need to worry about is relaxing. And there's no better place to do just that than in the cosy living area. Sink into one of the soft sofas, cuddle up with quirky throw pillows and put on your favourite Netflix show when you crave a chilled night at home. When the weather is nice, enjoy the bottle of wine and treats from the welcome basket in the private courtyard – it's a great spot to soak up the sunshine. We also adore the bright blue kitchen – complete with all kinds of crockery and culinary gear for stress-free self-catering – as well as the characterful bedrooms. If you need to do some work, there's a private study with a desk and bookshelves. Best of all, this home is in an excellent spot for exploring. You're just a ten-minute walk from Cheltenham centre, where you'll find boutique shops, local restaurants and plenty of cultural attractions. Or, hop in the car and visit the charming towns in the Cotswolds – many are a twenty-minute drive away.

Home truths:
*One free parking permit is provided for guests – you can park in all of Zone 12, which stretches into central Cheltenham
*Well-trained dogs and cats are welcome to stay with prior arrangement – there's an additional fee of £10/night
*With only one bathroom, this home might be a bit of a squeeze for five adults – we think it's better suited to a smaller group
