In the heart of Painswick, this pretty cottage promises a cosy Cotswolds getaway. The front patio is the perfect spot for a cup of tea or an evening cocktail, and we adore the views of the historic church from the original windows. Inside has charm in spades. The living room may not be the biggest, but it's stylish, snug, and just the thing after a day in the country air. A pair of peaceful bedrooms await you upstairs – there's even a wellie wall if you forget your walking shoes. Best of all, furry friends and little ones are welcome here, too.

- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.

"So cosy and clean. It has all the amenities and we loved being there.Only thing is, it lists parking but there isn't a designated space so we did have to ask the host where to park, which by all means was very close, but slightly inconvenient and felt a bit misleading on the advert. But doesn't detract from the house or the location."

"We had the most incredible stay in Painswick. The cottage was everything we could’ve wished for and more. It looked even better than the pictures! Fabulous location too, right in the centre of Painswick. Our only regret is not staying for longer. We would come back in a heart beat. Thank you Rebecca for making our stay so enjoyable."
P
"Even better than the photos. Great amount of basic ingredients and cooking essentials so it actually felt like we could cook, beautifully decorated, comfortable beds with lovely heavy duvets. Would definitely book again."
