About this property

Christmas Cottage - pet-friendly in Tetbury

Christmas Cottage is framed by townhouses of Cotswold stone in the eclectic town of Tetbury. With its grade I listed market house, architectural treasures, antique stores and acclaimed restaurants, Tetbury is a Cotswold treasure.

This three-storey cottage is a treasure trove of delightful features with over two hundred years of history made evident by the original inglenook fireplace and occasional low beam. On the ground floor you'll find a charming living room complete with a wood burning stove, and a spacious kitchen-dining area apt for gathering with friends and family. A light-soaked bedroom and family bathroom can be found on the first floor, as well as a delightful landing with a window seat looking out to the garden, while on the second floor is an elegant second bedroom with views across the rooftops of beautiful Tetbury.

To the rear of the cottage, through the kitchen door and up six stone steps, is an enclosed and private rear garden arranged as a paved patio terrace on two levels. If you’re lucky enough to be at the cottage in May, simply wander outside the front door for a ‘ring-side’ seat at the passing Woolsack Races.



Ground Floor

Hallway:
Welcoming you inside is Christmas Cottage’s light and airy hallway, where there’s room for hanging coats and storing boots after long strolls through the countryside.

Sitting room:
Wander to your left and you’re greeted by a cosy sitting room complete with a crackling wood burner, soft furnishings and an abundance of natural light. With a serene feel to it, this spot is perfect for gathering with loved ones, flicking on a movie or reading a chapter or two.

Kitchen/dining room:
Whether settling down to morning brunch or an evening feast complete with fresh local produce, the kitchen is truly the heart of Christmas Cottage. A place to gather and connect with friends and family, there’s seating for four and all the essentials to keep you happy during your stay. We love the traditional stable door - pop it open on a warm day to enjoy the sounds of nature.


First Floor

Bedroom one:
Find sanctuary amid the peaceful surroundings of bedroom one. A place filled with natural light, this serene spot is a place to rest, read and relax after a day exploring Tetbury. The room is elevated by a sumptuous king-sized bed.

Bathroom:
A light and spacious room, the cottage’s bathroom features a polished Cotswold stone floor and neutral tones, giving it a spa-like feeling. A bath with a rainfall shower, lozenge-shape wash basin and gleaming mirror sign off the room with finesse.


Second Floor

Bedroom two:
On the second floor is a king-size bedroom commanding great views across the rooftops to the mature trees along the Tetbury Trail. As the sun sinks across the Gloucestershire skyline, rest on the bed and pull out a book to enjoy the last few hours of the day in this charming spot.


Outside

Immediately outside the kitchen door is a covered passageway with storage space for walking boots and an outside tap for washing off any muddy paws. Wander up the stairs and you’ll find a circular table and four seats, a delightful spot to enjoy a morning coffee or al fresco dining. Outside the front door makes a lovely spot to watch the Gumstool Hill activity go by, and if you’re lucky to be there in May, you’ll have a ‘ring-side’ seat at the passing Woolsack Races. Whilst there is no allocated parking for Christmas Cottage there is free parking usually available on the hill.

Great cottage

Lovely cottage in a great location, only downside was the oven was not very clean at all when we arrived which meant we could not fully use it.

Cottage in Tetebuy, Cotswolds

Christmas cottage is a beautiful looking cottage within walking distance to all of the amenities and walks, Tetbury trail being one which is worth doing. We were lucky to get parked right out side of the cottage. Some areas of the cottage would benefit a little updating. The lounge and bedrooms were nicely furnished. The master having a lovely super king bed. Both bedrooms had lovely bed linen and comfy mattresses. Hair dryer was old but worked ok. What let it down for us was despite stating there would be logs and kindling, there wasn’t. The log burner hadn’t been cleaned out. Kindling arrived very late into the evening on the first night with a knock at the door and two bags left on the door step. No logs. Lacking a few basic items including only half a loo roll etc in the bathroom or a welcome pack with milk. We took both our dogs with us but to be honest I don’t think the cottage was suitable for them. As there was only one front entrance which was carpeted. We do always wash and clean our dogs especially if it has been wet and muddy. The garden was terraced with quite steep steps and borders which in summer would look beautiful but in winter blended in with the patio. We took the dogs out to a green area and walk if they needed to go out for a toilet

Stylish superbly appointed pretty Cottage in wonderful Cotswolds town

Thoroughly enjoyed our time in Tetbury, made even better by our stay in this beautiful and well appointed Cottage - really feels like the Owner cares and ensures everything is there to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable, with a lot of thought having gone in to it,. Beautiful fabrics, well decorated and very warm (it was a misty chilly December!), with bedding, soft towels, well equipped Kitchen, comfortable Sitting Room (complete with some logs for the woodburner). It is on street parking but we always found a space outside, and it didnt seem that busy in the road (it is no through ) and free long stay public car park anyway a few mins walk. Would stay again in an instant and am sure we will return in 2023.... Thank you for letting us stay here

Good comfortable stay

On a steep slope so be mindful if staying in icy weather conditions or have mobility difficulties.small things like, kettle needed descaling and main oven didn’t work. The garden could have done with weeding and tidying at the front . Window boxes were empty and steps to front door had weeds. Overall, very cosy cottage. Good stock of games, books and dvds. Excellent wifi and the area of tetbury was pretty and I would definitely stay again

What makes this property unique

Christmas Cottage is a delightful, mid-1800's, terraced cottage, sitting on Tetbury iconic Gumstool Hill, the location of the town's ancient Woolsack Races, which guest can watch from the bench outside the cottage. The cottage has been furnished to accentuate its history yet remain contemporary with a well-equipped kitchen and stylish bathroom. A terraced cottage, extending over three floors, with great views over the rooftops, with a richly planted, terraced patio to the rear. The cottage is just a minute's walk from the centre of Tetbury, with a very good pub, arts centre, village green and the start of a lovely walk a stone's throw away.
