Enjoying a central location within the rural village of Upton St Leonards with a pub and well stocked shop and post office within walking distance and Portway Farm shop for all your local produce (0.7 miles away), this cottage offers a wealth of walking trails from the front door amidst the beautiful South Cotswolds. Join the Cotswold Way at the Painswick Beacon (2.5 miles), or enjoy a leisurely afternoon at Painswick Rococo Gardens (3 miles). Wildlife enthusiasts can head out on the Kites Hill Nature Trail (1 mile) or visit Slimbridge Wetland Centre (19 miles). The city of Gloucester is just 3 miles, where you can enjoy a day shopping at Gloucester Quays. Cheltenham is only 8 miles, famed for the Gold Cup and Literature Festival. And there are many other pretty towns and villages to visit locally, including Painswick, Nailsworth, Cirencester and Tetbury, all within 15 miles.

The cottage forms part of a terrace and is set back from the road. It is accessed via a small porch with space for coats and boots after a day of exploring the area and walks from your doorstep. From here, you will enter a light and spacious living area, where you can relax in the comfortable seating in front of the TV with Freeview box and flame-effect electric wood burning style fire. The property also benefits from underfloor heating throughout for those chilly evenings. The kitchen is situated at the rear of the cottage, is well-equipped and offers everything you would need for your stay, along with a dining space with a table and chairs. The cottage-style staircase leads up to a small landing, where guests have the choice of two bedrooms: a double room with a dressing room, and a twin room. There is also a shower room with a double rain fall shower and WC.

Outside and to the front of the cottage, there is a small bench where you can watch the world go by, and to the rear is an open area of lawn with a table and chairs. There is private parking for two cars. Within a minute walk you will find a dog walking field and children's play park.

Genuinely dog-friendly cottage with lots of places to visit in the area. Small but comfortable with good parking. Would return!

We booked this cottage specifically to be able to attend Badminton Horse Trials and it was ideally placed for this. An easy 40 minutes or so drive away. The cottage is compact but has everything you need including off road parking, secure garden for the dog and good WiFi. Very nearby is the village sports field with a securely fenced large field whRead moreere you can exercise a dog off the lead. It was lovely to meet the owners and hear a little about the history of the cottage and the ones nearby. Hide

The cottage was clean and comfortable and was in good position for touring the area. My one complaint and I put this in the guest book no hand rail on the stairs leading up to bathroom and bedrooms.

Such a lovely well appointed little cottage. Really is a home from home with everything you need, even a dishwasher. The garden was not quite secure enough for our energetic sprocker, but this was not an issue as the dog field across the road was and was perfect for him. Also a pub in walking distance is always a bonus! Lots of nice walks in the arRead moreea and other things to do, shops, restaurants. Everything is within a 10 - 20 minute drive. Even two teenagers enjoyed the stay. Loved it. Hide
