Frogfurlong Cottage Guest House is situated in the green Belt area within the triangle formed by Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury. The cottage itself is what remains of 5 C18th cottages, 3 of which were knocked down and the remaining 2 extended and modernised into the house, pretty much as it is now.
The cottage stands well back from the little Frogfurlong Lane and is surrounded on all sides by fields. When they were first built, the cottages were rented out from the main owner; Thomas Pear to his various brothers and sisters for a ‘peppercorn rent’ As to the name, ‘Frogfurlong’ - no-one knows, there are no documents that give any explanation as to what it means.
It gives considerable enjoyment to the postman however as we often get mail addressed to “Frog Fell on Cottage” and “Frog Fellow Cottage” also, people seem to be unable to resist putting pictures of frogs on envelopes.
We (Anna & Clive Rooke) plus our assorted dogs and cats (all rescued) hope to welcome you to Frogfurlong Cottage. Both our guest rooms are small, wholly self-contained cottages; one (The Pool Room) where the pigs were kept and the other (The Garden Room) was where the pony and trap were kept.
The Pool Room - The Pool Room is a full double with luxury en-suite bathroom, television, fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. It is also en-suite with the indoor swimming pool.
The Garden Room -The Garden Room can be either twin-bedded or king-size, again with en-suite and facilities as above.
The Swimming Pool - The indoor, heated swimming pool is 35’ x 15’, 3’ deep in the shallow end and 6’6” in the deep end. Guests are welcome to use the pool free of charge and at their own risk mornings and evenings up to 10:30 AM and from 5:30 to 9:30 PM. It is heated from approximately 1 March to 31st October but is unheated during the rest of the year.
Breakfast - As both the rooms are self-contained and outside the main house, our guests have their own keys and do not have to come into the main house, except for breakfast. Breakfast is a ‘Full English’ with a selection of fresh fruit, fruit juice, cereals, yoghurts, bacon, eggs, sausages, tomatoes and eggs. toast is accompanied by honey and a selection of home-made preserves. Our sausages, bacon and eggs come from local farmers and we are able to cater for vegetarians.
