Perils of living next to a Cotswolds party house... from a naked man in the garden to entitled children and traffic jams of white Range Rovers

Usually, it starts innocently enough with a bit of Coldplay but then you know it’s game over when Whitney Houston comes on and they start on I Will Always Love You. Georgina Fuller says Cotswolds residents have to endure hordes of out-of-towners and, in the words of a friend, 'lots of ghastly Americans' But the worst was probably the young ‘Z-Lister reality TV stars’, who accidentally set fire to the tree house in the garden after using a smart silver ice bucket as a makeshift fire pit. They end up parking outside the shop and post office and curbing our business.’ The Cotswolds is bursting at the seams with rambling country houses rented for parties and events on various sites, writes Georgina A colleague who lives on the other side of the Cotswolds, towards Bristol, had a group of blokes turn up next door with beer crates a few months ago. ‘While the overwhelming majority of our community are respectful neighbours and travellers, our reservation screening technology aims to detect and prevent parties before they start and we take action on anyone who violates our policies.’ When it comes to parking, Airbnb points out that it also works with Neighbourhood Watch ‘to educate hosts through different online sessions and webinars on how to host responsibly, and this includes guidance on respecting local rules around parking’. ‘They’d seen the back door was open and wandered in when their parents weren’t looking.’ Naked butlers, entitled children and traffic jams of white Range Rovers – no wonder the placid residents of the Cotswolds have had enough.
