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.


Luxury kitchen with granite worktops and natural stone floors.

Edwardian styled bathroom with classic cast iron slipper bath.

Cosy living room with timber floors and log burner, includes free logs and kindling.

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

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!

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

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!

Sean was the best host. So helpful. He suggested dinner at a great pub in town. The house was clean and well stocked - even some food in the kitchen. The garden was charming. Absolutely no complaints at all. Will definitely return if we return to this part of England.

Sean was a terrific host and the property was great. Only 2 of us in this 3BR home so we got to spread out. Wood fire was wonderful and wood provided. Lots of bits and bobs in the kitchen and we really appreciated being able to make breakfast each day. Convenient to town and the Rococo Gardens (5min walk to both) as well as the bus to Stroud. Lots of flyers provided and we chose a local walk from one of them. Highly recommend! We fell in love with Painswick and Sean made the experience even better.

Beautifully presented and cosy holiday home

The house was perfectly situated for our short stay on the edge of the Cotswolds, with gorgeous walks starting from the doorstep and within easy reach, by car, of other stunning villages and towns. Number 16 was beautifully presented and had everything we needed. The welcome was warm and our hosts even left some thoughtful supplies to get our stay off to a scrummy start. Thank you.
