This wonderful 19th century property is in Littleworth, Amberley, a pretty Cotswold village surrounded by stunning countryside and National Trust common with its breathtaking panoramic views across Stroud's Five Valleys. Sitting on the edge of both Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons, home to rare plants, butterflies and grazing cows, you are well placed for walking and cycling with a popular golf course, award-winning vineyard and local ice-cream factory on your doorstep. Known as the ‘Covent Garden of the Cotswolds’, Stroud is just 2 miles away, with its award-winning farmers' markets, providing gourmet food, vintage stalls, and plenty of eclectic shops and businesses. The property is also an ideal base to explore many other Cotswold towns and villages such as Nailsworth (1.8 miles), Minchinhampton (1.9 miles)Tetbury (7.4 miles) and Cirencester (11.6 miles). Each has a wealth of dining options and independent shops and boutiques.

Enter the deceptively large property into a charming reception room with comfortable seating and boot storage. This is a great space to relax and plan some lovely walks and activities with your friends or family. Off this space is a delightfully spacious full-height lounge with wood burner, Smart TV and comfortable sofas, perfect to enjoy a movie all together. Also on the ground floor is a separate snug, created with fun in mind, with seating and gaming consoles, great for children and adults alike. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for a self-catered break; why not cook up some of the local produce you will stumble across when exploring the area? There is a dining table for 6 (which extends to comfortably seat 8) meaning you can get together with friends for a lovely meal. Next to the kitchen is a useful utility room and downstairs shower room. Upstairs are three uniquely designed bedrooms, 1 king-size (converts to twin on request), 1 double and 1 twin, all ensuring a great night’s sleep. The bathroom is a spacious sanctuary for freshening up in the morning, or for soaking in the freestanding tub after a busy day out. The property boasts a range of traditional features such as beams in the lounge, and original doors which means that there can be reduced ceiling height around the property.

This luxury continues outside, where you find a large enclosed garden the wraps around the property from outside the kitchen, festooned with garden lights. There is a great little dog-washing station along with an area to discard boots. Also outside there are four pretty seating areas, including a fantastic pergola with an outdoor kitchen and BBQ, a fantastic space to enjoy dining alfresco. There is private parking for two cars

This house is just about perfect. It has everything you could need and is amazingly well equipped. It's comfortable and spacious and brilliantly located in the village by the pub and easy walking to the common. The outdoor space would add another dimension in the summer. Probably the best holiday let we have stayed in.

What an amazing stay. We all fell in love with the cottage, Littleworth and the area. In fact, if I could I'd move here tomorrow. Jonathan and Georgina's attention to detail could not be beaten. The cottage comfortably fits 6 adults and pooch (who just adored all the commons and walks in the area), we feel very lucky to have found it. So much to doRead more and see in the area. We were able to eat all our meals outside and the barbecue is to die for! Cannot recommend this place enough. Take the plunge Hide
