Overview

**This property is new to our portfolio and will soon be ready to take bookings. If you’d like further information, please do get in touch with our StayCotswold Bookings team**

The Lodge is a beautifully refurbished Cotswold holiday home which sleeps four guests in two well-appointed bedrooms and with one spacious wet-room. The interior is stylish and minimalist to compliment the open-plan design, which is spacious and welcoming with an open fire for those cosy nights in. The kitchen is a very sociable space with sleek, modern lines, the perfect space for cooking up some culinary delights.There is plenty of outside space and seating to enjoy alfresco dining or a glass of wine by the fire pit. The garden also comes complete with a sauna, outside bath and cold shower.

The Lodge can be booked either on its own, or with The Gatehouse which sleeps two guests. Located in the same estate grounds, the two together offer an ideal setup for two families, or for friends travelling together.

In terms of cleaning and maintenance, the properties within our portfolio are managed by a third party property manager or the property owner – your pre-arrival email will contain confirmation and contact details for the person managing your property. Bookings made via us form a legal agreement directly between you and the property owner.

All payments are made subject to the cancellation policy set out in the standard Booking Conditions.

Location Information

The Gatehouse is nestled on the edge of Lypiatt Park, formerly part of the larger estate which was once famously owned by the former Lord Mayor of London, Dick Whittington. The popular village of Bisley is only 2 miles away, recently voted as the third best place to live in England. When considering eating out why not try The Woolpack Inn, Slad which is only a 30 minute walk across the valley or a 10-15 minute drive away or perhaps venture into Stroud to Juliet Restaurant.
For your shopping essentials there is a lovely Farm Shop at Bisley, only a mile from The Gatehouse. Stroud High Street is a mere 2 miles away and offers a bustling Farmers' Market and larger supermarkets such as Waitrose.
The Gatehouse is a great base to explore the South Cotswolds, with the market town of Minchinhampton and the renowned picturesque village of Painswick nearby, as well as the popular Gatcombe Park, home of the Gatcombe horse trials. The larger city and town destinations of Bath and Cheltenham are also accessible, ideal for day trips. Other local attractions include Giffords Circus (certain dates of the year), The Butterfly Sanctuary and The Laurie Lee Walk.
