Thanks for letting us stay. The cottage is sweet and nicely located between Stroud and Nailsworth. It has everything you need, we did not need to use if to its full potential as we were down for a family wedding. I was a tad concerned about the need to vacuum and mop on departure, but luckily we did not make much of a mess. Thanks again to Catherine

We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and you're most welcome to return again in the future. We try to keep the cost down by asking guests to leave the cottage as they would like to find it, and so we don't make a cleaning charge. Kind regards, Cathy

My friend and I decided to have a break in the Cotswolds as he’s never been. We couldn’t be happier with the large 3 bedroom cottage over looking miles of countryside. Clean, spacious and with a traditional cottage vibe. Good location for hopping from town to town. Facilities were excellent with absolutely everything you need. Many thanks Catherine!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views from the property were amazing, as is the local area with its common with cows & horses roaming freely. We liked the patio and the kitchen area, where there was also a dining table and we spent most of our time at the property here.Parking was much easier than I envisaged, the house was adjacent to the small road and there was lots of parking on there. The beds were comfortable enough. I was a little anxious about all the rules, but all was good.The lounge and bedrooms weren't the most modern, but they were fine.

We really enjoyed our stay at this home, the location as well as the cottage itself were great. Lots of room inside the cottage when the weather is not so great, but also the surroundings have many opportunities for walks and sightseeing.

Lovely cottage and area

A really lovely peaceful cottage with beautiful views. We had a very nice stay here for a couple of days and everything was well laid out. Access to the cottage is a little uneven and hilly so beware if you are not fully able bodied.

Great space in a lovely location with superb view and ample space for 6 people to socialise and dine. Kitchen very well equipped. It feels like you’re staying in somebody’s lived-in home. The decor is rather drab and tired, but it is perfectly functional. Only a short walk to the common which is pleasant.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Radford

Host profile image
We've spent 33 years working abroad in various countries and always looked forward to returning to our cosy cottage with it's sunset views. Many of the paintings, drawings and photos decorating the cottage were done by our daughter when at school, reflecting our homes in East Africa and Japan.
We're now retired and live part time in New Zealand, southern Europe and England.

Why they chose this property

We like walking and searched extensively to find a cosy stone cottage with unspoilt rural views in the Five Valleys area near Minchinhamton and Rodborough Commons and Stroud.

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is cool in summer and warm in winter, with good sunsets all year round. Enjoy the fascinating views from every room whatever the weather outside. Many local footpaths nearby for exploring the immediate area and easy access to the Cotswold Way.
