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 :-)

We're very happy to hear that you liked our cottage and the area. You're most welcome to return again anytime.
Thanks for your review, Cathy
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.
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.

Beautiful views
Large cottage with ample parking on the road. Beautiful view and sunsets.
Amazing view. Very spacious. Local towns are super friendly. Farmers market is a must. Bed mattresses are pretty worn out.

Thanks for your review. We also live in the cottage and vacate when we have bookings, and have no problem sleeping. I guess everyone has different preferences with beds.
We really enjoyed our stay at this home, the location as well as the cottage itself were great. Lots of room inside the cottage when the weather is not so great, but also the surroundings have many opportunities for walks and sightseeing.

Thank you for taking time to write a review for us. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed our cottage and the area, and you are welcome back again in the future.
Well equipped cottage with spectacular views. A great base to explore the area. We enjoyed walks on the commons, pub lunches and exploring pretty villages.The weather was superb and the patio at the cottage is a sun trap and the perfect place to watch the sun go down.
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.

Thanks Rebekah for your review, we are especially grateful to you for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy. You're most welcome to return again.
Kind regards, Cathy
Really enjoyed our stay. We spent a few days writing songs and recording a new album for Ivan Campo and sadly didn't get to do much walking in the area. The cottage had everything we needed and is very comfortable. Would highly recommend, even for just the views!

The Cottage is spacious and bright, with amazing views. It was good for a family get together. A good area for walking, as long as you are all good at hills! We enjoyed Sunday lunch at the Amberley Inn.

Thanks for your review and we're glad to hear that you enjoyed our cottage and your visit to The Cotswolds.
The house was well equipped and in a lovely location with great views from the dining area, patio and most rooms. We had some great walks from the doorstep around local villages and the countryside.

We're glad that you all had a good break and look forward to you returning in the future. Thanks for your thorough cleaning too!
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
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.
