If you're driving to and from it on the A40, you'll probably be ok. If you're using the A429, sooner or later you will go utterly insane because despite some lovely long straights, it is numpty central and can be really, really slow.

It is a nice small cotswold town, built with money from the wool trade many moons ago. A few pubs / hotels. Small spa, nice wine shop, PO, Chippy, Chinese, and Kieth Hardings wonderful world of musical machines. Not much in the way of building in the last 10 years. The old secondary school was demolished and replace with housing. There is a fire station and a small industrial estate. Now it has the bypass, it is rather sleepy. It didn't flood in the last cotswold floods, although in a dip. Cheltenham is a few miles down the road and is a very nice town. The A40 give access to Oxford and London. The fosse way to Cirencester and beyond one way and Stow onto Warwick and the M40 Birmingham the other.
Always been a quiet town in terms of tourists, unlike Bourton and and the rest of the cotswolds close by. Almost a town forgotten.
If you want peace and slowness of life, a great choice!

I would give it a look. There is a mix of old and new houses. It is the kind of place people live who want to be in the cotswolds but don't want all the paraphernalia that goes with it. With a tenuous link, the Porche club of GB had their main offices there before moving to Moreton in Marsh. ( Another place maybe to take a look. )
The slaughters are lovely in the winter. In the summer the busses empty out hords of mainly foreign tourists with cameras to photograph / get in the way.
