5/5

We stayed for a week just before the heatwave and actually it was quite cold and wet, but this place, despite having very high ceilings was actually very cosy and warm.There are things to point out, which the owners already have, in that the bedrooms are snug and certainly the mezzanine level on the far side of the bed is problematic due to the roof, but we felt that both bedrooms felt airy enough. The downstairs bedroom does have a window to the side of the front door and the upstairs bedroom has a skylight, and because of the glass half-wall to the kitchen area feels very light and airy. The bed were very comfy too.Very good sized shower and it was great to have the second toilet too. The parking is right outside, so couldn't be more convenient, there are a few steps up to the front door area. Most of the property is on the one level including the downstairs bedroom, but if you have mobility issues, you might not find the mezzanine bedroom too easy to get too, but you have the downstairs option, so is certainly manageable.We felt Painswick itself was fabulous, enough very good places to eat within a few minutes walk. We found going to the left as you came out of the property down the steps, and through the passageway into the church grounds was always the best way to go. There is a great convenience store that basically has everything you might need. There is obviously lots to drive to in the surrounding area too, including a great antiques centre just down the road with yet again a fab place to eat, although it's only open Thurs-Mon.We felt we would certainly stay here again and it was excellent value for money.

5/5

We had a brilliant stay at Church Mews--it was so good to come back to such a lovely spot after a full day of exploring the gorgeous surroundings. Church Mews had everything and more for a comfortable and charming "home away from home". We wanted for nothing (OK admittedly a few more coffee pods but there was a coffee press that we found and made use of). The loft and main floor bedroom was perfect for the two of us to have our "own" space and the open concept was super for relaxing, cooking, and dining. It was brilliant to have off-street parking. Church Mews was both comfortable and clean. We highly recommend that you book through Stay Cotswolds and stay at Church Mews when you travel to the Painswick area. Trust us--you won't regret it!

1.5/5

We stayed at this property through Stay Cotswolds and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience.On arrival, one of the bedrooms had a large number of flies on the floor, making it unusable. We reported this immediately and shared video evidence. While the property manager was polite and apologetic, no effective solution was provided during our stay.As a result, we were unable to use the bedroom as intended and had to sleep on a mattress on the floor. This significantly impacted our stay and meant we could not properly use the property we had paid for.What was particularly frustrating was the handling of the complaint afterwards. It was suggested that we did not communicate during our stay or allow access, which is not accurate and a complete fabrication. We were in contact every single day and were cooperative throughout which we provided further evidence of. Be aware that StayCotswolds will take no responsibility as the contract is with you and the owner of the property.Overall, the property did not meet a reasonable standard, and the way the issue was handled did not reflect the experience we had.

- Seynab Abdirahman, 23 April 2026

Thank you, Seynab, for your review of Church Mews. We are sorry to hear that parts of your stay did not meet your expectations, particularly the issue raised regarding one of the bedrooms. Following your report, the property manager offered to attend during your stay; however, this was declined. After your departure, a pest control specialist attended and confirmed a small number of fruit flies, which could have been easily treated. Assistance was offered at the time, and the matter was fully investigated once your stay had concluded, so we do not agree that no action was taken. We were pleased to learn that you chose to stay for the full duration of your booking. As outlined in the booking terms, all complaints are handled in accordance with those terms, and the contractual relationship is between you and the property owner. We do hope that overall, that you enjoyed your time exploring the Cotswolds.
