Great space in a lovely location with superb view and ample space for 6 people to socialise and dine. Kitchen very well equipped. It feels like you’re staying in somebody’s lived-in home. The decor is rather drab and tired, but it is perfectly functional. Only a short walk to the common which is pleasant.

The property is in a great position with stunning views from the kitchen. It was within walking distance of Nailsworth, though it was a steep up hill walk back. There is a steep slope and quite a few steps to access the property so not great if there are any mobility issues. The kitchen was great; cleanish, modern and had pretty much everything we needed and the central heating great once i had worked out how to use the thermostat.Apart from the kitchen the property is very tired and dated with a threadbare sofa and carpets and old fashioned furniture. The beds, bedding and towels had also seen better days. The wallpaper in the smaller twin bedroom is falling off the wall. The bathrooms were not particularly clean with mildew around the shower tray and staining in the toilet bowl. The double glazing on the patio doors was also blown, obscuring what would be a lovely view. On the whole the place felt like it needed a good clean to deal with grubby corners, edges and spiders webs.To add insult to the feel of the place we hadn't realised when booking the instructions expected us to hoover and mop on our last morning before we left. The hoover was left in the middle of the living room when we arrived. I assume to make sure we didn't forget.

Lovely cottage in idyllic location with phenomenal views.

We had an amazing stay at Mountview cottage, overlooking panoramic views of the countryside, on this very equipped cottage. This was a perfect escape with friends from everyday life to this tranquil spot in our beautiful countryside. A short walk into the quaint village of Nailsworth, offered some amazing restaurants, fabulous food & service. Wonderful walks nearby and a short drive away was the extra treat of visiting the farmers market in Stroud. I highly recommend this area to stay in as it was just beautiful. Cathy our host was great at communicating and we will be back.

Lovely cottage and area

A really lovely peaceful cottage with beautiful views. We had a very nice stay here for a couple of days and everything was well laid out. Access to the cottage is a little uneven and hilly so beware if you are not fully able bodied.

Peaceful stay in beautiful location

The property is quite large and ample room for 4 adults. Cirencester is easily reached with Stroud being even nearer. We all loved the location, with the Common so near and having to watch out for cows on the narrow country roads for their afternoon stroll.

Beautiful view across the countryside

Very satisfied with our holiday house, however we had a problem after using the dishwasher when we found a puddle of water inside which seemed to indicate a blockage somewhere in the pipework, we called 2 phone numbers and left voice mail and text message but received no replys, when leaving the property we left a message in the kitchen to explain what had happened.

Lovely location

The views from the house were outstanding, with many villages and towns to visit within a short drive. The property was a bit difficult to find around the narrow roads and lanes even with a GPS, The house was very comfortable and peaceful in a lovely location overlooking the hills and valleys. The small terrace with table and seating at the front entrance would have been a feature but really needed TLC. Overall it was a lovely peaceful stay in a delightful location.

Views and comfort

We really enjoyed our holiday in Mount Cottage as a familiy with grown-up children. It is spacious, cosy and well-equipped, and it has been the first holiday home ever with enough light to read in the evenings! The views from all of the windows are great (and a visit to the Dominican priory in sight on the other side of the valley a "must" - just lovely), and the views from Minchinhampton and Rodborough Common on the hilltop, all within walking distance, fantastic. There is so much to do: walking, running, visiting the well known Cotswolds highlights, but also wonderful places that escape most guidebooks like Fairford or Selsley. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Radford

Host profile image
We've spent 33 years working abroad in various countries and always looked forward to returning to our cosy cottage with it's sunset views. Many of the paintings, drawings and photos decorating the cottage were done by our daughter when at school, reflecting our homes in East Africa and Japan.
We're now retired and live part time in New Zealand, southern Europe and England.

Why they chose this property

We like walking and searched extensively to find a cosy stone cottage with unspoilt rural views in the Five Valleys area near Minchinhamton and Rodborough Commons and Stroud.

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is cool in summer and warm in winter, with good sunsets all year round. Enjoy the fascinating views from every room whatever the weather outside. Many local footpaths nearby for exploring the immediate area and easy access to the Cotswold Way.
