With design-led interiors blending characterful original features, antiques and contemporary pieces with natural textures, Locks Cottage is a stylish and welcoming house in the most beautiful of locations. Sleeping ten guests in five bedrooms, with four bathrooms and a large garden, this is a wonderful spot for family gatherings. It lies tucked at the end of a steep farm track in the pretty Painswick Valley, a blissfully peaceful setting that makes you feel as though you are miles from anywhere, yet the pretty wool town of Painswick is only 3 miles away, Stroud with its abundance of eating places and renowned Farmer’s Market is 6 miles away and the centre of Cheltenham is a 20-minute drive.

A charming and beautifully secluded property perfect for unplugging from the rush and stress of daily life. The cottage was full of nooks and crannies to explore but big enough for the whole family to feel like everyone had their own space. The perfect place to enjoy the beautiful countryside but still close enough to beautiful villages and places of interest to explore

We stayed in the cottage with 4 friends and enjoyed our time there immensely. The cottage and its surroundings were idyllic and the location was ideal for trips we made to Stroud and Cirencester. Walking down the valley into Painswick for lunch and returning via the Cotswolds Way was a really interesting walk.
Things that need improving.
Outside furniture was inadequate if there were 10 people staying.
The dining table was poor and warped.
No instruction manuals for oven, hob or barbecue.
No tray in he showers for shampoo ad soap.

3 seperate families stayed at the beautiful cottage after not seeing each other for 5 years. The house had everything, the location so rural and beautiful and the kids loved driving through the field with the cows to access!

It’s a brilliant house for seperate families with 3 seperate and distinctive areas with bedrooms and their own bathrooms. This was very important as it allowed everyone to have their own privacy, while enjoying the large social area of downstairs.

The gardens were stunning and kids loved exploring, although they were sad to only discover the tree house on our last day!

We absolutely loved our stay and would have no hesitation staying again.

If I had to provide constructive feedback then the internet isn’t the best and didn’t cope with a few of us logging in, but you don’t come to this location to log on so this didn’t bother us in the slightest. There is far more to see and explore in the glorious setting!

Highly highly recommend. Thank you for some incredible memories!

I am so pleased that we found the listing for Lock's Cottage when researching somewhere to stay for a couple of nights on the Cotswolds. I now wish we could have stayed longer.
Communication with Bolthole Retreats was great. Directions to find the cottage were very clear. Our party of 9 loved the location and the views. Everything was clean and set up nicely. The tweens/teens loved the game room.
I would book this cottage again if I ever make it back to the area.

A nice out of the way place. Off the beaten track. A good place to take time out and be with family.

Locks Cottage did not disappoint. The house was beautiful with lots of character and decorated to a high spec. The house was a lot bigger than the photographs suggested and the views were stunning! I would definitely recommend staying here and exploring the beautiful countryside and local towns and villages.

If there was one suggestion I would make it would that there weren't enough serving dishes and serving spoons.

The house is very cosy and can fit 10 adults comfortably. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and views and is very tranquil, .The house and setting was everything we hoped for and more. We would definitely visit again.

Thank you so much for our stay. Tom was a very accommodating host. We ended up getting snowed in on the the last day and he drove over 2 hours to help dig us out! And also let us stay for an extra night as we were trapped from the snow. Booked this for my Grandmas 80th birthday and she was so overwhelmed with how beautiful the place was. We felt so warm and cosy. The place was very spacious and the interior decorations were beautiful. Couldn’t of asked for a better stay and we hope to come back again some time in the future.

Beautiful home. Super quiet. Very comfortable beds. Nice modern bathrooms. Kitchen is well stocked, but would benefit from the addition of a microwave. House is in good condition, but a few minor elements need work - small leak in roof, latch on bathroom door broken. Fireplaces are a delight, Underfloor heating on lower floor is welcome. Internet adequate, but a bit finicky as it wasn't working correctly on arrival. Driveway to and out of property is tricky, steep road can cause problems when muddy and wet. Overall we had 9 in the house and very much enjoyed our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Locks Cottage. Beautiful house and location. The only issues we experienced were spotty Wi-Fi and a broken water heater as only 1 person could shower before the hot water ran out. We would definitely return with the issues fixed!
