We loved the idyllic views from each window of the house, it was the perfect retreat to read a book after lovely walks through the countryside or a day trip to the beautiful towns of Bath and Oxford. Slept well all week and even saw a fox crossing in front of us one night :-)

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.

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.

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.

Perfect for a tranquil and serene holiday with amazing views. Well stocked and comfortable cottage. Spent most of our time on the patio overlooking the view. Good location and not far from many of the recommended Cotswolds sights. An excellent place to chill out and enjoy the surrounding nature.

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.
