About this property

A quiet Edwardian house in the Cotswolds

Welcome to our family owned Edwardian era house situated in the historic town of Painswick. Situated just off the Cotswold Way national trail, it's the perfect pit-stop for keen walkers (or runners!). If sightseeing is more your thing, the famous 18th Century Rococo Garden is just a 5 minute walk.

Ideally located for easy travel to Stroud, Cheltenham, Cirencester and Gloucester all within a 20 min drive.

Renovated with hospitality in mind to give guests the perfect balance of modern amenities with a homely feel. Features include;

**NEW FEATURES for 2026

** Main bedroom upgraded to the Sandringham handmade mattress offering our guests the best sleep experience. Designed for luxury hotels, the Sandringham mattress brings five-star comfort, giving you the same restful, hotel-quality sleep every night.

** Pure French Linen in all bedrooms, woven from flax grown in Normandy. The long staple lengths of this quality linen create an incredibly soft, textured fabric that just gets better with age. Linen feels indulgently textured and soft against your skin with a deliciously rich drape. It feels beautifully cooling when you first lie between your sheets but also helps you feel extra cosy in the winter.

Really great stay

We had a really lovely stay on this property. The house itself is fantastically well stocked, Sean really makes sure you have everything you need when first arriving (and more). All the rooms are really well done and welcoming, there was nothing to fault. The location is also great as it gives great access everywhere else without being way too busy like so many other places in the Cotswolds.We had an amazing stay and I'd definitely recommend the house, plus Sean as a host

Perfect cottage for small family

We loved staying in Painswick and the cottage was perfect. It was a great location…a short walk into the village and easy access to all the public footpaths in the area. Our hosts were so kind. They made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and convenience. Hope we can come back again some day!

This is a great spot for walking, as well as day trips throughout the Cotswolds. The village is very attractive with many choices for eating out and a quick walk from the house. A nice private patio for eating outside in the back.

Beautiful cottage in a very scenic peaceful town. The property has all the amenities to keep you comfortable during your stay. We loved the town of Painswick. It’s very friendly and scenic here. They have a tesco close by to cover your grocery needs. Sean was very generous in stocking up the fridge with breakfast items and pastries! We would love to revisit this property and town again

Great place for families

We came here for an extended stay during COVID-19, after returning to the UK unexpectedly. Sean and his family were incredibly welcoming and hospitable - we especially enjoyed his homemade pizza dough and baguettes! The house is lovely, with a nice garden, and we really enjoyed the local trails for walking and running. Walks to the Painswick Beacon were a favourite for the kids and there’s a decent public park nearby.

Wonderful stay in the Cotswolds

We enjoyed our stay here. Sean greeted us and helped us get settled in. The house is lovely and has all the amenities you need. Just a few minutes stroll into the picturesque town of Painswick with it's typical Cotswolds buildings (don't miss visiting St. Mary's Church and its 99 yew trees!). The house is also a very easy drive to other sights in the area, including the magnificent Gloucester Cathedral and the Roman museum in Cirencester. Very comfortable stay; it was also nice to have a washer/dryer combo to do some laundry. Thanks for a great stay, Sean!

A Perfect Stay

Spent a wonderful week staying in this house. Painswick is a beautiful Cotswold village and the property is a few minutes walk from the centre, where you will find excellent pubs, coffee shops and restaurants. A short drive takes you to Stroud where you will find all the major supermarkets and stores together with an impressive farmers market on a Saturday. Arriving to the most comprehensive "welcome pack" we have ever encountered we have no hesitation in recommending this property. 10 out of 10

About the host

Host profile image
Family owned house lovingly renovated specifically to provide a high standard for our guests.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits for staying with us? We're at the quieter edge of town, but at the top of the hill closer to the woodland walks and beautiful scenery. The town centre, pubs and restaurants are only a 5 minute walk from us, albeit a short walk down the hill.

You have a fully equipped house to yourself, a front and rear garden and off road parking with a tariffed 7kW EV charger and space for two medium sized vehicles - rarities for properties in the centre of Painswick town.

As hosts next door we are easily reachable, but not intrusive to our guests privacy. If there are any problems during your stay or if you simply want to know the best places to eat, walk, explore, just message us or pop round and say hello.
