About
Guiting Guest House is a bed and breakfast for adults only in a seventeenth-century farmhouse in Guiting Power, with exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace in the dining room. It takes no children and no pets, and is non-smoking.
There are six rooms: five en suite doubles and twins, three with four-poster beds and two on the ground floor looking onto the garden, and a second-floor quad with a double and a twin room sharing a private bathroom, for up to four adults. Each can be booked with breakfast or room only. Booking.com lists check-in from 4pm and check-out by 10.30am, and Expedia gives an arrival window of 4pm to 6pm with no late arrivals. There is no minimum stay: the house's own site offers a discount on one-night stays booked direct.
Breakfast is cooked to order from a menu of local produce, and gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan diets are catered for. Guests have a lounge, a licensed honesty bar and the garden, where you can bring a picnic and your own wine with no corkage. Parking is free, and there is luggage storage. For a small charge there is secure bike storage, e-bike charging and a self-service washing machine and tumble dryer, and walkers have a changing and drying room for wet gear and a sink for cleaning boots. Packed lunches can be ordered in advance for an extra charge.
The house offers walking and cycling breaks and sits on the Wardens' Way, the 13-mile path between Bourton-on-the-Water and Winchcombe, so you can walk from the door; the Guiting Power and Naunton walk starts in the village. It suits couples and walkers who want a quiet, pet-free house.
