Its location is idyllic, surrounded by acres of enchanting, wildlife-filled parkland. If you're a keen walker and looking to lose yourself in the beauty of nature, Bellhouse is the perfect property. From the house, you can walk for miles in peace and tranquillity in the valley, the only noise you may hear will be from grazing livestock or the serene gliders from the nearby Cotswold Gliding Club. You can also walk from the house up onto the Cotswold Way. Woodchester Park is a hidden gem that never feels busy or overcrowded. Owned by the wealthy Gloucestershire family, the Ducies, they originally built a Georgian house that stood on the site of the current building from the 1600s until 1845\. In 1843 they sold their family home to William Leigh, who, on advice from Pugin, demolished the Georgian House and began to build the Gothic revival mansion that stands on the site today. Leigh died in 1873 before the work was complete, and his family, not sharing his love of the gothic revival style, employed a new architect to redesign the house before realising they could not afford to complete a new mansion. The mansion was consequently never completed, and fell through various states of semi-occupancy and disrepair before it was eventually bought by Stroud District Council in 1992, and is now leased to the Woodchester Mansion Trust who manage and conserve the building in its state of ‘glorious abandonment'. Woodchester Park House, formerly known as The Cottage, had its own role to play in the history of Woodchester Mansion. It was home to William Leigh and his family while the demolition and then reconstruction of Woodchester Mansion took place. After William Leigh died, his family stayed in The Cottage before it was eventually sold in 1938\. Woodchester Park House has had a number of uses since the time of the Leighs. At some point before the Second World War it was used as a ‘home for poor girls' who were instructed in skills such as sewing. During the war it was taken over by a Roman Catholic teacher training college, run by nuns, evacuated from Birmingham. Since then it has been used as a school (for children of leaders of our commonwealth countries) and as a field study centre. The current owners bought the house in 1995 and returned it to a ‘home'. With 16 bedrooms (but only one bathroom and a couple of showers) work was needed. Now, Bellhouse, the rambling south-west wing of Woodchester Park House is a comfortable and charming holiday home, decorated throughout with quality antique furniture, period art and quintessential country living features such as two wood burners. This is a much-cherished property that offers an authentic homely sense of warmth and conviviality – an ideal home away from home. Ground Floor Entrance Hall: A spacious porch with plenty of hooks and room for muddy boots, leading into a welcoming entrance hall. Dining Room: The high ceiling in this beautiful room gives an immediate sense of grandeur, complete with unique artwork, antique furniture and tall, deep-set windows looking out across the front lawn.

Kitchen + Scullery: Decorated in country creams with wooden worktops, the kitchen and scullery at Bellhouse are the epitome of well-equipped. Featuring a breakfast table for four guests, display shelves offering a vast selection of glasses, mugs and cups, microwave, kettle, toaster, electric cooker, dishwasher, fridge (freezer and washing machine in scullery) and a fantastic selection of utensils, bakeware and spices – you'll find everything you need here!

A few more mugs/cups would have been ideal. We would be more than happy to return to Bellhouse again. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Regina v. 29 Oct 2023 #### Perfect stay in Cotswold countryside We are a family of six and loved the spacious vacation home, a full wing of Woodchester Park House. Coming from Germany, we loved the very British experience of a very nicely decorated and very well equipped house at the end of a small road which ensured complete quietness in the great Cotswold nature. The hiking trails into the Woodchester Park, where the Bellhouse is located, belong to the most recommended in Cotswold. The very nearby Woodchester Mansion has been featured in some movies and series like The Crown. ##### Regina v. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### David D. 23 Feb 2025 #### A magical place What a magnificent house, spacious, comfortable and full of character. Joe and our hosts were helpful and kind - it felt like nothing was too much trouble: from the welcome goodies to the two fires laid for us ready in the wood burners. The beds were all very comfy, the kitchen well-stocked, and we’ll miss the brilliant water pressure and plentiful hot water. We loved that the radiators could be adjusted easily. Most of all, the stunning location and the walk around the lakes on our doorstep were very special, and our Labrador loved it as much as we did. We hope we may return to this beautiful house - thank you for having us. A very welcome break from our busy routine. ##### David D. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 13 Jan 2024 #### The Bellhouse The Bellhouse was lovely. A wonderful rural retreat - such a shame we were only there for 2 nights but we would love to return. It was lovely and spacious for 8 people and although being a very old property it was so cosy & warm. There was plenty of hot water & both showers were great. I run holiday cottages so know that cleanliness, warmth & plenty of hot water are key! I am originally from the area & it was lovely to return - there is so much to do & see locally. Hopefully we will be back! From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### christopher E. 10 Aug 2024 #### Five glorious days! We had the best time at Bellhouse. It is very comfortable, very well kitted-out - all exactly as described -- and in a quiet and beautiful spot. The caretakers Louise and Dean are very accommodating and efficient; nothing was too much trouble, despite the requests that came at them embarrassingly frequently from this family that includes two (very) high-energy daughters aged 16 months and 4years! We could have wanted nothing more, and are sure to be back. Thank you to Veronica, Robin, Louise and Dean! Chris and family ##### christopher E. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Reg K. 1 Nov 2024 #### Beautiful spacious character property in an excellent location This was our second visit to Bellhouse. We have family in Nailsworth that we visit most years, so the location is very convenient for us. Having the trail right outside the house that leads to Woodchester Mansion is a big bonus, although we couldn't use it this time in October because of the mud. The house is very spacious and the extra bathrooms are a really nice feature that make the stay that much more comfortable. The decor of the house is very fitting to the age of the property and make it feel welcoming. It was well stocked and the box of cookies and bottle of wine upon arrival were a nice touch. My only complaint, which I didn't notice last time we stayed, was that it didn't feel like it had a proper clean. Things like the sinks and floors and refrigerators. I would still highly recommend this property because it is so much more spacious and comfortable than most properties you can find in this area. ##### Reg K. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 9 Nov 2025 #### Wonderful family stay On arrival the house was very welcoming , spotlessly clean and everything we needed . It was such a lovely location and was a great place to get all our family together for a few days , my granddaughter really loved the zip wire in the back garden . The beds were very comfy , and the living room was cosy in the evenings for playing games or just watching some tv . Thank you for a wonderful stay , would highly recommend.

We had such a good time here. So relaxing, close to Great, Hikes, lakes, sheep, scenery of all sorts. We walked into nails, worth a couple of times, and had dinner in Nympsfield at Amalfi and it was wonderful. My husband and I took our for college age daughters and everyone had a great time. This property is fabulous. ##### VIcki S.
