Where can we park?
The Perfumery is situated in Victoria Street where some parking is unrestricted, some is 4hrs, but being in the centre of the village there is obviously some competition for spaces and it would be misleading for us not to say that at times it can be difficult. For this reason we have negotiated some parking spaces for our tenants at various places in the village centre - all within a 2 minute walk of the apartments. One is locked after 5pm, so whilst secure, prevents use until 9am the following day. Please put requests for this space in "Comments" on the booking form if you want it. Other times, we may be able to use our own cars to "reserve" places in Victoria Street whenever possible - but this cannot be guaranteed. We are well aware of the parking issue and will do our best to come to a satisfactory solution for your stay. On arrival and departure however, you may stop at the Perfumery to unload/load.
Is linen provided?
Yes, linen and towels are both included. For further details see our full inventory.Silk Sheets and a towel change service are also available for a small charge.
Will there be milk, bread etc.?
Apart from a small welcome pack, food is not provided, but if you would like some provisions in your apartment on arrival Tesco's provide an online home delivery service. Just inform us when you are expecting a delivery and we will put it the apartment ready for you. Please note, Tesco's will not deliver to a commercial address, so don't put "Cotswold Perfumery" as the delivery - put "Flat 1 or Flat 2, Cotswold Perfumery".
Do you allow pets?
No.
Do you allow children?
No. The apartments are designed for adults only.
Do you allow smoking?
No. Both apartments are strictly non smoking.
Can you sit outside anywhere?
Yes - you can use the Perfume Garden - a secluded garden at the rear of the Perfumery. It is used for Perfumery Courses (some Saturday mornings) and for Factory Tours (11.30am and 2.30pm), but outside those times, and of course all evening, the garden is available.
Are the apartments suitable for the disabled?
Due to the nature of an old building, the apartments are multi-level - particularly Apartment Two which has steps between almost all rooms as well as a mezzanine ladder. See our Access Statement for further details.
How do you get to the apartments?
The common entrance door is under the archway behind the entrance gates to the Perfumery. Once on the first floor, each apartment has its own entrance.
Is there a telephone?
No. That is, not one that can be used for calls. There is a telephone line but it is for the exclusive use of your Sky+ box so that you can order movies or box office events (that you must pay for - at cost). The mobile signal is acceptable but not brilliant depending upon where you stand.
What about shops in the village? Is there a grocers shop, a Bank or a Tourist Information Centre nearby?
Yes. There is a Spar across the High Street (50 yards), a Co-Op in Station Road (½ a mile), a 24hr Tesco in Stow (4 miles), Lloyds Bank (50 yards), and a Tourist Information Centre next door (5 yards!).
