Luxury 6 Bed House, Hot Tub, Games Room and in Walking Distance to Village Pub

Cotswold House, in the village of North Nibley is a very large, super stylish, luxury property with a beautiful private garden.

It is unique in that it has a huge amount of downstairs living space as well as 6 large bedrooms which can accommodate up to 17 people (the bedrooms are large and several rooms can accommodate additional memory foam Z beds - usually for the children - and/or traditional metal framed Z beds if required).

The property is easily accessible from London, Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester.

The small village of North Nibley, in the heart of the South-West Cotswolds countryside, features a small shop cafe/ and The Black Horse pub (about a 12 minute walk) and is close to the market towns of Wotton Under Edge, Nailsworth, Tetbury and Stroud as well as Dursley. It is also in easy reach of Cheltenham (particularly for Gold Cup week), Bath and Cirencester as well as Badminton (for the annual horse trials in May).

The property can accommodate up to 17 guests in 6 bedrooms (as there are two sitting rooms guests can sleep in the smaller of these if happy to do so) and benefits from wood burners in both the sitting room and drawing room while the kitchen features a modern range oven with an induction hob and two full size fridges, one with freezer.

The house has a luxury boutique hotel feel with beautiful vintage furniture, a Farrow & Ball paint palette but also modern facilities such as very good Wifi, two large flatscreen TV's and a very well equipped kitchen. There is plenty of parking available at the property,

We are child friendly and provide a cot and high chair free of charge.

We are also dog friendly and accept one or two well behaved, mature dogs (no puppies please) for a small additional fee of £40 per dog per booking. For the benefit of future clients, we do ask that dogs are kept downstairs at all times and stay off the furniture and that no trace of dog hair remains after departure.

Photographer available – the owner of the house is a professional photographer and offers preferential rates for groups at the house so if you are celebrating a special occasion and would like some wonderful pictures do let us know.

Accessibility, health & safety

This is an old property and has lots of character features including low beams in one room as well varying floor levels so those with limited mobility or carrying babies should be aware that exiting the property in the event of an emergency could be more difficult. There are hard wired smoke and heat detectors in the house that operate on a sound only basis so those who have a more severe hearing impairment may not be able to hear them and could be at risk.

The rear garden is very family-friendly but like most gardens, is not 100% child or dog proof. There is an open gateway and drive which both have access to the road so young children and animals should not be left alone and should be supervised at all times.

Do let us know if you've any questions we can answer, we'd be delighted to help!
