Sitting opposite a cosy pub on the edge of Rodborough Common near Stroud, this characterful cottage offers the perfect escape for those looking to explore the beauty of the Cotswolds. Low beamed ceilings and a working fireplace await downstairs, while two country-style bedrooms offer snug spaces to rest up after a day of walking the Cotswolds Way or visiting the nearby Westonbirt Arboretum (9 miles). You’ll find plenty of original features here – including a bread oven – as well as a garden area equipped with a barbecue and fire pit that completes the idyllic scene.

Home truths

    This home is laid over two floors with internal stairs between them. Both bedrooms are on the upper floor, so it may not be the best choice for those with reduced mobility.

    There are low-beamed ceilings throughout. It might not be suitable for taller guests.

    If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.

    The garden is equipped with a charcoal barbecue. You'll need to bring your own charcoal, however. While the garden isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

    On-street parking can be found on the main street passing the cottage, or at the nearby Village Hall. We recommend having a car here.
