"Charming and Cozy Cotswold Cottage – A Perfect Getaway!"

We recently spent six nights at this delightful Cotswold cottage, and it was the perfect escape! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the warmth and character of the place. The cottage is beautifully decorated with a blend of traditional charm and modern comforts, making it feel both cozy and luxurious.

The location was ideal – tucked away in a peaceful village, yet close enough to explore the nearby towns and stunning countryside walks.
The cottage was well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had all the essentials, and the bedrooms were cozy, with comfy beds and high-quality linens. The attention to detail, from the lemon cake on arrival to the thoughtful guidebook with local tips, really made us feel welcome.

We highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing retreat in the heart of the Cotswolds. We hope to return again soon!

We are a family of five and spent 20 days at Rose Tree Cottage.
The house is amazing , even better than pictures. It has everything you need and is very well located, so you can explore all the area and beyond.
Heather and David are very kind and we are very grateful for their hospitality.
I would recommend it without any doubt.
Thanks to StayCotswold as well for their efforts to help us finding this beautiful house.

We really enjoyed our stay. We arrived when it was dark and had difficulty finding it. We were right there but would’ve appreciated a sign. On main gate saying Rose Tree Cottage or at least the number to be displayed better!
Only criticism was there wasn’t enough crockery. Five of us and only five plates/bowls so needed to keep washing up rather than being able to put in dishwasher.

Very well presented pretty cottage in a great location, easy walking along the canal into Stroud.
Accomodation is very good, conservatory is a delight.
Staircase is a little tricky especially for taller people.
Easy parking - though a bolder number at the road entrance would help to locate the cottage.

I had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful house, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by tasteful and comfortable furniture that made me feel right at home. The facilities in this house are top-notch, from
the fully equipped kitchen to the spacious and inviting living areas.


What truly stood out to me was the owner's exceptional politeness. They were not only accommodating but also genuinely caring, ensuring that my stay was as pleasant as possible. It's rare to find such a hospitable host.


I can't recommend this house enough. If you're looking for a comfortable, well-furnished, and welcoming place to stay, this is the perfect choice. I left with nothing but positive memories and a deep appreciation for the owner's hospitality.

Yours sincerely
Leila

Rose Tree Cottage had everything we wanted (character, beautifully furnished, comfortable, lots of light, old-fashioned style) and needed (warmth!, beautifully functioning bathrooms and kitchen, comfortable beds, storage space). Somebody really gave it a lot of thought, and it was a perfect place to stay. Highly recommended.

Four of us spent a long weekend in this cottage as we were attending a friends wedding. It is very cute, you walk in to the kitchen which is fully equipped and lots of different utensils. Downstairs there is also a decent shower room. There is a lounge and conservatory on the first floor but we tended to congregate in the kitchen and the proximity of the kettle. The beds were very comfy and the main bathroom is fabulous too. There is a log fire in the kitchen but we did not use it as the house was warm, it might be cheaper to rent this cottage than to pay my energy bill.

A very nice homemade cake was waiting for us upon arrival and a bottle of wine. The garden is well looked after and there is sufficient parking for at least 3 cars, probably more.

We didn't explore much of the area but driving through the countryside looked lovely and we did a short walk along the canal which was good too.

Comfy bed, decent shower and a cafetiere for coffee so it scores very highly for me.

Rose cottage suited us well. The garden provided several different comfortable and private places in the good weather for reading or eating. The cottage itself had some very nice touches and clearly care had been taken to furnish it and make it homely and attractive. The kitchen had an excellent range and good equipment for providing meals when taken at home. Comfy beds and excellent showers set one up for the day. The only drawback was the kitchen on the ground floor and the sitting areas upstairs but this was clear in the description and didn’t alter what was a 5 star experience.
Excellent bike storage was a bonus with bike rides that were not for wimps in the hills around! Lovely walking on nearby commons with a couple of excellent pubs within a short drive and Waitrose within walking distance. Exploring the wider pretty and more touristy towns such as Bourton in the water and Stow good for the odd trip as were local N T attractions.
This was a last minute holiday when a driving trip to France fell through and we did not feel hard done by at all with a week at Rose cottage in what turned out to be lovely September weather.

The cottage is pretty and quite spacious, historic but modernised in the bathrooms, kitchen and conservatory. It serves as a good base for exploring Stroud and the surrounding areas by car or foot. There is a bus which stops close to the cottage (although it's currently diverted some days due to road works).
We had a couple of issues during our stay which were promptly resolved. Overall, the house is well equipped for a self catering stay. The only issue to mention would be the kitchen table which isn't very sturdy and could do with replacing (plus only has 4 chairs). I would return or recommend it to others.

Thank you for the lovely review and recommendation, Joanna. We’re pleased you enjoyed staying at Rose Tree Cottage and found the hosts to be helpful and responsive. The owners appreciate your feedback and will check the kitchen table thoroughly, however the table is a large solid oak gateleg table with two hinged leaves. The table is in good condition, however the usual care does need to be taken when the leaves are raised, thanks again for bringing this to our attention. There are 7 chairs in the cottage, 4 are always kept in the kitchen and unless the table is extended fully a 5th chair is not usually needed and would be in the way, especially if a highchair is required. It’s great to hear that you would happily return, we hope to see you again soon!

A lovely cottage for a restful stay

Rose Tree Cottage had everything that we needed for our Cotswolds holiday - both our children said they'd love to live there. It was well equipped, with comfortable rooms and in a good location just outside Stroud - it's roughly a ten minute walk or very short drive to Waitrose and about a twenty five minute walk to the main part of the town.
The bedrooms are all well-sized, with comfortable beds and plenty of places to store clothes etc. The kitchen could easily facilitate cooking meals and houses a two leaf table large enough for four or five to eat at. The upstairs bathroom is huge with an excellent shower and the downstairs shower room/toilet is a very useful facility. The front garden is secluded and the raised area was a great place to eat and sit out watching all the birds of prey. We didn't use the back garden due to lack of shade for most of the afternoon. The stairs, although quite steep, were no problem for us, and we did have some older people in our party.
There are a small number of good restaurants in Stroud that you can walk to (we particularly liked Tamari-Gi ,The Spice Lounge and Stroud Brewery), although we did need to drive out to find some more options for evening meals - Nailsworth was a good choice. Although quite small, the town has an excellent street and farmers market on Saturdays and a few interesting shops.
We contacted the owner on a couple of occasions and she was quick to respond and very helpful - even sending someone round to help us with the BBQ function.

We had a very relaxing and peaceful two nights at Rose Tree Cottage. It is beautifully decorated throughout and the hosts have provided all the amenities you could possibly want. We were delighted that they left a delicious lemon drizzle cake for us. We really could not have asked for anything more.
The cottage is in an ideal location to explore Stroud and the Cotswolds and we had a lovely and challenging four hour walk through the fields and forests.
Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.

We were 4 girlfriends staying for just 3 nights, wanting to walk & not do much driving once we arrived. The location of Rose Tree Cottage was just perfect for this. We did 2 fabulous walks both of which we'd highly recommend. The Laurie Lee Wildlife Walk (leaflet in the cottage) where we drove a few miles to near Slad & parked up & walked, and the next day from the cottage up to Roxborough Common, a loop walk, a fabulous Sunday lunch at the Bear of Roxborough, and back to the cottage.
The cottage itself is very comfortable with absolutely everything you could possibly need.
3 inside sitting areas, if you include the dining table, and 2 outdoor sitting areas, with plenty of other outdoor chairs to place where you fancy.
If you're there on a Saturday, then Stroud market is a must and if vegan food is your thing then we really enjoyed a meal at 'Karibu'.
All in all, both the cottage and the area are highly recommended, and we're already talking about maybe going back to this area next year and possibly even to Rose Tree Cottage.

We arrived at 2am after a long drive from Scotland. The cottage was so welcoming - warm, comfortable and beautiful. We had everything we needed in the cottage, and really appreciated all the outdoor spaces with eating areas and space for the kids to play. We enjoyed trips into Stroud, Rodborough Common, and a lovely visit to Westonbirt Arboretum. We would highly recommend Rose Tree Cottage.
