Location close to town
Warm once heated up
Host friendly once they arrived
The potential this property has
Even though arrival time given, no one there to let us in. Contacted host by phone call and text but no answer. When host did arrive said was at work. Received msg 24hrs later saying they were in.
Property cold on entry. Told no one had a stayed for a week before. Should have been heated up in advance.
Clumps of dust and cobwebs around spiral staircase. Whole property felt like it needed a deep clean
Lots of various hairs in bathroom including pubic hairs. Boxes on bathroom floor lots of dust behind. Shower cable going black. Lots of room fresheners to mask mould smell.
Shower was either boiling hot or cold, temperature wouldn't regulate. Couldn't have a shower.
For the money would have expected a clean up to date property. Travelodge would have been a better choice based on our experience. Least you know what you are getting. Would have been £60 cheaper.

The location and hosts were br.
I think a gate by the road would make it much safer not only to slow humans going out onto the road but we could have let the dog out.

Comfy bed; nice cool room to sleep in which given current weather was welcome for our stopover visit on the way to Wales.
Welcome needed to be clearer about basics eg where was the hot water turned on etc. It was a little rushed.
Kitchen facilities a little basic.

A lovely tiny quirky house in a lovely setting, bed and sofa bed very comfortable. . Everything you needed for a few days stay even though we only stayed one night.
The spiral staircase took some getting used to but there are about 4/5 outside steps you can use to enter the upstairs which is easier if you have a physically disabled. .

Good location as only a short walk to the town. Good parking. Able to get into the property when we arrived in the morning. Plenty of information on things to do in the area.
Overall cleanliness was poor and lots of cobwebs. Musty smell ( I know it’s an older property )

Alum house is perfectly situated for a short walk into Tewksbury. Inside is very cosy and comfortable. We enjoyed spending a weekend here. It is also a short drive away from other points of interest.

Had a lovely stay at Alum House and would have liked to stay longer! The house itself is unique and very comfortable and had everything we needed. The spiral staircase is quite steep so our dog was nervous at first but she managed up and down fine in the end, may not be suited to an older dog but there are stairs outside if needed.
Donna was very helpful and gave us directions for a few different walks and also pubs we could take our dog to! The walk into the town is not long and can be accessed across the fields avoiding the main road. 🙂
No complaints!

Quirky little house. The kitchen, although small, had everything we needed. The bathroom had been recently refurbished. The bedroom being downstairs meant that any traffic noise was barely audible. It was only a short walk from the town and had its own parking. We were only stopping over to break up a long journey, but Tewkesbury itself was a very pleasant surprise. The hosts were friendly, accommodating and had some great recommendations. Cheers!

A lovely quirky, unique little house near to the centre and a pub by the river.. The price was good for a family and the accomodation very nicely thought out.
It had a narrow spiral staircase which we all managed fine but would be a bit of a challenge for anyone with mobility problems.
5.0
The house was very well equipped and clean. Our host was friendly and helpful. I think nothing would have been too much trouble for her to sort out for us.
THE TRAFFIC NOISE! Other reviewers had commented on the quiet location so we were taken in
It was unacceptable in the patio area and sitting room. Not everyone is adverse to traffic noise but at this considerable level, I think the hosts should at least draw their potential guests' attention to it , so they can make their own decision.
Also, the patio area is not safely enclosed so is not really best suited to dogs. Again, the hosts should make this clear so potential guests can make measured decisions.
