The property is easily accessible from London, Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester.
The small village of North Nibley, in the heart of the South-West Cotswolds countryside, features a small shop cafe/ and The Black Horse pub (about a 12 minute walk) and is close to the market towns of Wotton Under Edge, Nailsworth, Tetbury and Stroud as well as Dursley. It is also in easy reach of Cheltenham (particularly for Gold Cup week), Bath and Cirencester as well as Badminton (for the annual horse trials in May).
The property can accommodate up to 17 guests in 6 bedrooms (as there are two sitting rooms guests can sleep in the smaller of these if happy to do so) and benefits from wood burners in both the sitting room and drawing room while the kitchen features a modern range oven with an induction hob and two full size fridges, one with freezer.
The house has a luxury boutique hotel feel with beautiful vintage furniture, a Farrow & Ball paint palette but also modern facilities such as very good Wifi, two large flatscreen TV's and a very well equipped kitchen. There is plenty of parking available at the property,

Even better than home!
Gorgeous property, perfect place to relax with friends - in the hot tub or one of the big communal areas. We had a wonderful time, thank you
A beautiful comfortable home in a picturesque location. Very well equipped with bonus of a hot tub! Great walk from the door up to Tyndale monument plus delicious curry at the local pub. Lots of places to visit or just relax in the garden.
Great house with everything we could possibly need. Good local pub with great food and beautiful area. Everyone enjoyed the games. Just a great house for a break with friends or family
We had the most amazing stay at Cotswold house for the weekend. The house was beautiful and perfect for 14 friends to relax and unwind.Susannah was really helpful from the beginning and was accommodating throughout our stay.The area was ideal for a wholesome walk and trip to the black horse pub.The communal areas were perfect for getting together and catching up.I would really recommend this property for a great time with family and friends.
Our family enjoyed a long weekend at the property to celebrate a family members birthday. The house was very comfortable and easily accommodated 8 adults, 2 young children and 2 babies. Suzanne was very helpful and we liked exploring the surrounding area which is beautiful. Would recommend this property - the listing and photos are accurate.
We were a family group of 12 meeting up to celebrate a special birthday. The house which was very spacious was beautifully furnished and the large kitchen equipped with everything we needed.
The bedrooms were large & very comfortable. The garden was lovely & plenty of outdoor seating. I would recommend this house for a large family gathering
Cotswold House was the perfect venue for a family get together to celebrate a special birthday. The house is spacious and comfortable, easily accommodating 14 - everyone aged 2 to 80 had a great time. Susannah and Ian have created a warm and welcoming home away from home with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and lots of seating inside and out and even fresh flowers in vases about the the house - everything was thought of - thank you!
Fabulous stay in a great sized house full of charm and character. Accommodated 17 of us with no problem and plenty of plates , cutlery , glasses etc .
Beautiful garden and terrace and just loved the log burner which was such a lovely feature.
The owners are so helpful it was just a huge success ! If you are thinking of booking Cotswold house just do it , you won’t regret it !
Cotswold House is a beautifully equipped, large house in a fantastic setting. We were a party of 10, gathered to celebrate a golden wedding, and it suited us perfectly. All the bedrooms are large and comfortable, the living areas are fantastic and there are all sorts of added bonuses such as a games room, heated hot tub and lovely garden. Our host Susannah simply couldn't have done more to accommodate us. Would highly recommend!
What a wonderful property. Exceeded all expectations both in the wonderful house, the location and the ability for all the active adults in our family to get out doors and hike!We took advantage of visiting other towns, order fabulous dinners we brought in to share. And cooked some great meals as well in the spacious comfortable kitchen. Just driving through the beautiful country side was an experience I'll never forget.Our group of 12 came from both coasts of the US and from Singapore and all of us just loved our stay.The hosts were exceptional too! Thank you Susannah and Ian.
Thanks so much for letting us stay at your beautiful house! A huge country house in a peaceful village. We loved how we could sleep all our friends comfortably (14 of us) and there was lots of places to chill together too. There's plenty of outdoor seating near the hot tub for when it's sunny! The dining room is also a great place to host a big dinner party. Through the hosts we organised a chef (Tamsin) who was fantastic - delicious food & very accommodating with timings & dietary requirements. Thanks to the hosts for such amazing communication - would highly recommend to everyone!
We stayed at Cotswold House to celebrate Mum turning 80, the new 50 it would appear!!
The house was perfect for our group, 12 in number made up of a wide range of ages, and made for the perfect location for our celebrations.
The games room and hot tub were a great element of the house and were used frequently throughout or stay.
Susannah was a superb host, always quick to respond to messages and provide helpful information and was even kind enough to arrange fantastic weather for us, despite it being in late October!! She also gave a recommendation for the caterer we brought in for an evening meal, Tamsin, who was fantastic!
I cannot recommend the host and house enough!
I Just stayed with 16 members of my family for my 50th birthday. I really can’t fault any of it. The house is beautiful and full of character, it was unusually well equipped in terms of cutlery, glasses, serving ware etc, the hot tub was a lovely bonus and the hosts were faultless. I got prompt replies to any questions, and when we accidentally turned off the hot tub, Ian was there within the hour to sort it out. When we arrived there was a card and chocolates to wish me a happy birthday which was so thoughtful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Cotswold House stood out from many of the properties that we viewed, the purpose for our visit was a property to celebrate our Golden Wedding anniversary, we were certainly not disapointed in our choice, the word frequently used on our arrival was Wow!! our family were similarly impressed. The house was very welcoming and spacious and immaculately presented, it suited our celebrations with the family very well. Many books were to be found around the house and jigsaws kept some of our party well occupied.
The garden was spacious and the outside games room were well used by all the family, as was the Hot Tub.
We ventured into Dursley and had booked a couple of sessions at The Escape Room, good fun was experienced by all. The Black Horse just down the road was a welcoming establishment for Sunday lunch. We also enjoyed a walk (uphill) to the William Tindale Monument.
In all a wonderful venue for, what was, for us a very memorable weekend.
A wonderful cosy house, extremely well equipped with everything we needed for all 17 of us. We felt so relaxed and at home and enjoyed a number of lovely walks, the kids especially enjoyed the monument. Thank you to Susannah and Ian for creating such a lovely space for us all to come together and celebrate my mother's birthday. We will be recommending Cotswold House to others!
Susannah was excellent to book with. Great comms and wanted to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. The house is beautiful and we were celebrating my wife’s birthday. Great local 15 mins walk away.
Absolutely beautiful house and a fantastic stay! Communication with the host was amazing very helpful recommendations and helped out with all of our questions and queries.
Couldn’t recommend more, the bride even wants to come back for a family stay!
A lovely spacious house that is luxuriously furnished. We had a wonderful family weekend enjoying the house and the local area. We can thoroughly recommend this property.
