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.
