Family stranded in cottage over Christmas rescued
A family had to be rescued from their holiday cottage in Gloucestershire after being stranded for more than a week.
Eight adults, four children and a dog were rescued on Saturday from the cottage which had become isolated after the Environment Agency closed a flood gate, separating the home from the rest of the village.
The family spent the week inside playing board games.
