“What a great place for us all to celebrate my Dads 85th birthday.”
So spacious and well appointed with lots of great touches including bowls of fruit and lots of logs for the burner. The place was fully equipped and immaculate, with lots of towels and very comfy beds throughout. ...
So spacious and well appointed with lots of great touches including bowls of fruit and lots of logs for the burner. The place was fully equipped and immaculate, with lots of towels and very comfy beds throughout. The owners were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The only thing we would change is to make the fire alarm in the kitchen (very loud and tied to all the other alarms) less sensitive to food cooking as it went off frequently. It needs moving from above the cooker.... Otherwise this was a fantastic stay in a huge well appointed house and we will definitely stay there again...

- Jayendra, Jul 2019 Saria “The house had everything we needed and worked perfectly for our group.”
There was fresh fruit and milk left for us as well as a bottle of Prosecco which made the welcome that much nicer. The house and annex were clean and well taken care of. Instructions on how to find the house were clear and we had no trouble at all. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend getaway and would definitely love to do it again. We highly recommend the property.
- Saria, Jun 2019 Ann “Everything was perfect for a family 70th birthday celebration.”
The owners provided fruit, wine and milk and even soft drinks for each of the 4 children. We had everything we needed and the outdoor space was exceptional. The children loved the garden and the seating around the bbq area accommodated is all comfortably.
- Ann, Apr 2019 Sallyann “We had an amazing time as a family.”
The house is fantastic and comfortably housed the 16 of us. It's incredibly well furnished and had everything we needed. Loved the fact that there were plenty of towels, the additional futon was already made up, the goodie box in the fridge and all the little touches just added to a fantastic welcome. We'd love to go back and would recommend to anyone. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
- Sallyann, Mar 2019 Colin “Tree Top is a lovely house which is very well appointed - just turn up with food and drink, and personal stuff as well of course.”
We all had a lovely long weekend, helped by the good weather, and visited Snowshill Manor, Broadway and Cheltenham. We also had the time and temperature to take advantage of the lovely garden complete with outdoor furniture. Rooms were all very well decorated and most had their own ensuite bathroom, and the house and annexe were warm, we even used the log burner in the evening. Would recommend this for a large party of friends or family
- Colin, Mar 2019 Stephanie “We really enjoyed the stay.”

We had an absolutely phenomenal time at Tree Tops House, bigger space than we had anticipated. The property is remarkably well stocked and in such beautiful countryside. I can definitely see ourselves returning in future, perhaps in summer to make the most of the garden. Big thank you to Val for being so kind and helpful!

- Bindu, Jul 2018 Philippa “Great weekend stay with a large group of friends and children (10 adults, 6 children), well equipped spacious house in the heart of the countryside.”
Lovely views over farmland nestled in a quiet village. The house really does have everything, and is very versatile with the cottage to the rear, ample parking, plenty of bathrooms and is immaculate throughout. A ton of information on the house and surrounding area which was very helpful and the owner is on hand if any problems (which there weren't). We had a fantastic Sunday lunch in the local village pub (book in advance, as it gets busy) the pub is walk-able through fields (wellies needed). Would definitely recommend.
- Philippa, Apr 2018 Rachel “Amazing house and everything was so easy in terms of process.”
Plenty of space and we liked that it was secluded too.
- Rachel, Mar 2018 Sabs “Really lovely stay.”
Amazing place and the finishing touches were lovely. Fruit bowl was full fresh flowers and glasses and prosecco in the fridge. Lovely start to a fab weekend.
- Sabs, Sep 2017 Chrissy “Both Tree Tops House and the Garden Cottage are marvellous properties, both beautifully furnished and extremely well equipped.”
Also there were so many welcoming touches - lovely flowers, fresh fruit, Prosecco etc. The gardens are lovely and all the lovely garden furniture was perfect as we had sunny weather every day. It was a joy to stay in such a delightful property in the lovely village of Temple Guiting. Val Hughes was very welcoming and it was very nice to meet her.
