The Escape Room Cottage
What's the house like?
The house is full of character and spread over three floors. There’s a well-equipped kitchen, a spacious living room, and three bedrooms (one single, one twin and one double with ensuite). As well as the ensuite there are two separate bathrooms, one with a shower and the other with a shower over the bath. You can scroll through the pictures to get a sense of what the house is like.
Since it is a three-storey house with no lift, it’s unfortunately not suitable for those with accessibility needs. Also bear in mind that there’s a fair amount of exercise involved going up and down the stairs looking for clues!

Parking
Sadly the house does not have its own parking. There are spaces on the street outside the house that are free for 1hr, which would be handy for unloading the car. As for car parks, the closest one is the Abbey Car Park in Gander Lane (about 100m away) – this is short stay at £1/hr (up to £7 for the day). There are two nearby long-stay car parks that are cheaper: one on St Mary's Lane (£4.80/day) and one further down Gander Lane (£4/day).
The land around Tewkesbury is rather prone to flooding, and Gander Lane is quite low-lying, so avoid that one if it's soggy. If the water level is very high, even the Abbey Car Park and St Mary's Lane can get wet - in this case, the long stay at Oldbury Rd/Spring Gardens in the centre of town is the safest bet. Oldbury Road also has EV charging.
