EATING OUT The area is spoilt for choice on eating out within 2 or 3 miles. The info folder in the cottage will give you plenty of my ideas locally or I can give you a few of my recommendations to look up before staying. We have a few suggestions easily walkable- short distance but "up hill home". A short walk from the cottage is Stroud Brewery on the canal, the quirky Felt cafe in the bend of the River Frome, the Remedy (Long table) a sharing food charity ( fun and funky) , the Ship Inn for a Sunday lunch roast. There is even the Burleigh Court Hotel for a nice evening drink, celebration dinner, even spa. TO DO There is genuinely so much to do and see.... A Saturday morning a visit to the amazing Strouds' award winning farmers market 2 miles away is a must, if only to experience the Stroud buzz, and you can walk all the way there along the canal. (Tourist info in Stroud "Sub" Rooms) Wonderful walks on the beautiful NT common in AONB where cows and horses free roam from May to November , excellent eating out, attend an auction, as on TV, Berkeley castle, Wildfowl Park at Slimbridge, Westonbirt Arboretum, Woodchester mansion, Stroud brewery, picnics at Beaufort or Cirencester polo in the summer, vintage shopping, plenty of golf courses and well situated for visiting many picturesque Cotswolds villages too... Painswick & the Rococo gardens 15minutes away Tetbury is 20 minutes away, full of antique shops, & Highgrove nearby ( Tetbury woolsack races in May) Westonbirt Arboretum is 20 minutes away Badminton eventing is only 8 miles away too- The world famous cheese roll at Brockworth is 20mins away in May. Do look up Giffords travelling Circus April- September. Cheltenham Gold Cup festival is 22 mins by car. Badminton House is hosting its first RHS flower show this year 2026 We hope to be able to welcome you soon !

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Tricia ##### Bill D. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt R. 10 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely Magic I grew up not far from this amazing cottage and booked it to visit my parents who still live nearby. Tricia is a fantastic host who despite my local knowledge, was able to recommend lots of hidden gems for us to visit.The cottage itself is fantastic. Tricia clearly has a great eye for detail as the place was beautifully styled and filled with lovely little touches that so often get missed, house manual, full sized towels, dressing gowns, games, books etc, and spotlessly clean throughout.The standout is the location. It is without doubt a beautiful spot which can be enjoyed from the garden complete with swing chair and BBQ if you're so inclined. I wont go into detail about the local area, but the cottage is perfectly placed, close to everything Stroud valleys have to offer.You wont find a better property to rent or a more attentive host. Can't recommend highly enough. ##### Matt R.

It has been beautifully decorated and furnished. Patricia has been amazing; there was some confusion with our booking and we surprised her with our arrival but Patricia paid for our dinner at a locally recommended restaurant whilst she prepared the house for us. She was very apologetic and efficient in sorting us out and taking the time to make sure we were comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful stay - we will certainly be back again in the future and recommending the property to our family and friends. ##### Michaela S. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina H. 5 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family getaway We had a great time at Hillcrest cottage over New Years. Though the weather was far from ideal, we enjoyed cosy nights in by the wood burner, listening to the rain and wind outside. The cottage is very comfortable and well-equipped. The master bedroom is gorgeous. The kids loved all the available board games and even discovered a couple of new favourites. We managed to get out on one long walk, guided by Tricia’s handy notes, and enjoyed the great views and wild countryside. I’m already planning another weekend at Hillcrest in the spring/summer. ##### Christina H. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Heather L. 28 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous view The space is lovely and the view is stunning and inspiring. The kitchen is well outfitted and there are thoughtful touches throughout the home. Tricia and her family have clearly put a lot of thought and care over the years into outfitting it as a comfortable holiday cottage. She is also helpful with any questions or needs that arise and good about communicating. For female travelers... I found the home and area safe as a solo female traveler when my partner was away for part of our stay. The only note is that it's not well suited for working remotely, especially with two people on calls. We recommend it for holidays only. ##### Heather L.
