We live in an estate in Cheltenham, which is a regency town in Gloucestershire. Cheltenham is often described as centre for the Cotswolds. Our closest Cotswold town, Winchcombe, is just 15 minutes away by car. Alternatively, Bourton on the Water and Broadway are half an hour away. Other famous Cotswold villages are accessible within 40-45 minutes.
We are within an hour of some excellent shopping areas at Bristol, Birmingham and around 1.5 hours from Cardiff. The historic towns of Bath and Oxford are about an hour away.
Cheltenham is famous for its festivals, educational institutions and horse racing.
Our home is close to a supermarket and you can get to hills and fields in which to walk in 10-15 minutes. Our favourite hill, Cleeve Hill, is the highest point in Gloucestershire and only 10 minutes by car.
There are 2 public swimming pools within 10 minutes drive. Our favourite, Sandford Parks Lido is a fabulous heated outdoor pool.

Birmingham or Bristol airports are about an hour away.
Gloucestershire Airport could also be an option if you fly on a smaller plane, it's about 25 minutes drive from here.

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay in Ali and Tim’s home in Cheltenham. It was in a great location for visiting all over the Cotswolds. Ali left room for us in the kitchen cupboard and fridge and space in drawers so we could settle in easily. Ali is a great communicator and answered any queries we had also leaving plenty of literature on things to do. Thanks guys for opening your home to us via PLU. Ps they have a great outdoor cabana. -
Thanks J and J, glad you enjoyed the area. Have a great time in Wales!

Ali’s home is well situated on the outskirts of Cheltenham and within easy reach of several beautiful Cotswold villages which were at the top of our must see wish list. We had a relatively short stay so didn’t get to visit much else in the area unfortunately Communication with Ali before and during the exchange was great and that made us feel very comfortable with her family during home swap. -
It has always been a dream of mine to see the Cotswolds. When Ali kindly and generously offered her home to us for a non-reciprocal exchange, she made my dream come true ❤️. Everything was prepared perfectly. We felt very welcomed. Their home is comfortable and spacious for our family of 4. We stayed during the summer and was able to help water their large veggie garden and potted plants. Ali even left a list of what was ready to pick and eat. The Cotswolds are so dreamy and one of our favorite places that we explored in England during our 1 month here. It's a must-see. The homes are so cute! There are several small towns and villages scattered throughout a 90-mile long area. You definitely need a car here. Ali's home right is the PERFECT jumping-off point for the Cotswolds. Cheltenham is also a cute town with some really beautiful buildings. It offers everything you would need - good grocery stores, playgrounds for kids, easy to fuel up your car, shopping, etc. Ali's home is close to it all. Communication was easy. Ali even gave us some helpful tips for our next destination in London. We interacted on the PLU Facebook group before any arrangements were made and even got to video chat a little during a PLU group Zoom chat. Thanks for a fab stay! We hope our paths will cross again in the future 🙂 -
We had a great time at Ali and Tim's home. It's not far to the centre of Cheltenham and a good base for exploring the Cotswolds. There's a brilliant park about 15 minutes walk away with a fantastic playground, great for our kids. Food shops are very close by. Their home is comfortable and homely with a nice enclosed back garden and a lovely cabin so you can eat in the garden but undercover. -
We didn’t get to meet Ali and her lovely family till after the exchange was completed as we were overseas . They are a really nice family who left our holiday home in excellent condition and we wouldn’t hesitate to host them again if they come back to NZ sometime in the future. We realised our reciprocal visit to Ali’s house was not going to happen in the foreseeable future so Ali very kindly agreed to let my niece and her son use her house instead of us and this is Lisa's review: We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend in your lovely home. To find a welcome basket complete with dog treats was absolutely fab. Your home is very welcoming clean and comfortable with everything you could need as a guest. We can’t thank you enough, it’s been a beautiful hot weekend spent in a lovely home,conveniently located.
