Overview
Painswick Cottage is a stunning three-bedroom property nestled in the heart of the historic wool village of Painswick. Accommodating six guests, this charming late 16th-century weavers cottage combines historical character with stylish, contemporary design. Inside, the cottage boasts two inviting living rooms, each filled with sumptuous furnishings, an inglenook fireplace, and a log burning stove. The country kitchen, with its exposed stonework and cream shaker-style units, is a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience. The first-floor living room even features an honesty bar, with proceeds benefiting a local homelessness charity. Upstairs, three beautifully designed bedrooms provide the perfect retreat, each with luxury linens and stunning views.
Outside, the cottage is set in beautifully maintained gardens, with a south-facing patio and a lovely clematis-draped arbor, offering an ideal spot for al fresco dining.

The village itself is renowned for its rich history and stunning countryside, with plenty of walking trails, charming villages, and local attractions, including the famous Rococo Gardens, all just a short distance away.
