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.

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!

AMAZING VIEWS!!!!!

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.

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.

Very comfortable cottage with great views

We really enjoyed our week at Mount Cottage. The view over the valley is excellent, from every window and the patio. The kitchen is spacious and of course has the same view, with even more panorama. The living room and the library both have lots of comfortable seating. Parking was always available on the road very near the cottage. It's an easy walk down to Nailsworth, though not surprisingly the walk back up with a bag or two of groceries is a bit harder. The cycle trail heading north from Nailsworth is excellent for walking: level, well surfaced, and shady enough to be cool on hot days. We had a great time, and hope to be able to come back soon.

Clean and roomy cottage with beautiful views.

Thoroughly enjoyed our short visit to the cottage. It was clean and roomy with good facilities. The views from the cottage were beautiful overlooking the Nailsworth valley. The parking was tight on the adjacent road but never failed to get a space close to the house.

Beautiful views/garden. Comfortable stay

My friend and I stayed here whilst attending a course in Stroud. What we liked most was the beautiful garden, well equipped kitchen and peaceful surroundings. Lovely views from the kitchen diner for breakfast. Beds were comfortable and there was loads of space. What we struggled with was finding the cottage in the dark. The directions given were comprehensive however navigating the tiny lanes of the villages was really confusing in the dark so I’d recommend you get there in the light if you can ! I’d really recommend staying here. It was great.

Great Viewes

We had a great week end break in the Cotswolds. The property is closely located to many National Trusts places, so plenty of walks and sightseeings for the whole family. The cottage is very cosy, very well equipped and offers stunning views, especially in the morning and at sunset. Ideal for relaxing

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.
