The Nook

Very nice, comfortable place to explore part of the cotswold.

Great view and walks right from the doorstep. nice and helpful owner.

The accomodatiion was wonderful.

Clean, very well equipped kitchen and it is located in a nice little village with beautiful views out of the large living room window across the fields in front. It has a wonderful little garden with seating to the rear and is close to a local pub which serves food. It’s also very central no more than 40 minutes from a lot of great places to visit in the Cotswolds

This immaculate and well equipped cottage is in a quiet location but within easy reach of lots to see and do.

It's one of the best cottages I have stayed in. The views from the front window are stunning and there are lots of walks from the door and in the surrounding area. We visited several National Trust and Historic Houses sites and caught the bus to Stroud for the Farmer's market which is well worth a visit. Thanks John for a lovely stay and the generous welcome pack.

A stylish and extremely well equipped and comfortable property, which we would highly recommend.

It is very well situated for walking in the Cotswolds and we only used the car on 3 days. along with the bus, which stops outside the house at 09.45 on Saturday morning, to take you to the Farmer's Market at Stroud, when we walked back. John was an excellent host and we would like to thank him for the generous welcome pack and his very helpful advice. Allan, Susan & Rachael

Very comfortable, lovely views, good walking.

The Nook is so well equipped and comfortable I'm worried future accommodation will suffer by comparison.

There are lovely views across the valley and great walks from the door. Thanks John for the warm welcome and the generous welcome pack.

John & Janice were the best hosts.

. the house was immaculate.. everything we could wish for was there.. even dog bowls.. on arrival there was milk.. tea. coffee.. wine.. biscuits... we had a wonderful stay and a proper chill... thanks again.. Jacqui..John..Tallulah & Angel xxx♥️

Excellent property.

Could not fault it. Appreciated all the Christmas touches, including wine and chocolates.

The Nook is a fabulous cottage with everything you need for a wonderful holiday.

The property has a lovely log burner is both ground floor rooms which makes this so cosy. This is our second stay at The Nook and we will be back soon for another great week

Lovely cottage.

Owner was friendly and welcoming.

We loved our week at The Nook.

Beautiful homely cottage in a stunning location. The views from the picture window are magical, the location is great, beautiful, quiet but within easy reach of days out. Very high standard of fixtures and fittings, only down side was the bed in the main bedroom felt a bit small. The woods behind the cottage were a favourite with our dog, plenty of other walks from the cottage, we walked into Sheepscombe and Painswick (both worth a visit). Within a 40 minute drive we visited Bourton on the water, Cirencester and the Cotswold wildlife park (highly recommend if you have children or dogs - yes it’s a dog friendly zoo) Perfect cosy cottage for an autumn break.

This is such a lovely cottage in the most amazing location.

It has everything you could possibly need and more, we felt at home the moment we walked through the door. Thank you John for the warm welcome and we hope to see you again soon.

The Nook is an excellent hioliday rental with every facility you could need and a friendly owner.

Highly recommended.

We had a lovely time at the Nook.

The location was great, very well equipped, they had thought of everything. It was very clean, tidy and outside views were fantastic. Owners were very welcoming. We had a lovely welcome pack on arrival, too. I would highly recommend this cottage to everyone. Thank you.

Excellent Accommodation,very well maintained and clean.

Top of the range appliances always makes for a welcome stay. Thank you John for the “welcome pack” very much appreciated. Very homely feel and atmosphere,which is hard to achieve.

Gorgeous and extremely clean property.

We very much felt like home! John the owner was extremely kind, attentive and welcoming. Thank you for all your help and looking after us during our stay. We will hopefully be back! ❤️

I have already spoken to the owner to say how much we enjoyed our holiday at the Nook.

We thought it was a very comfortable and well equipped cottage with everything working perfectly except perhaps the dishwasher which was quite tricky to get started. Lovely shower room and a welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee and chocolate biscuits which was much appreciated. We loved sitting in the garden enjoying a G and T after our days walk along the Cotswolds Way. We were very lucky with the weather and didn’t want to leave! 5 star all round. Kind regards, Carol R.

Great cottage and the owner was very helpful and attentive.

The property is perfectly situated for walks and trips out to nearby attractions.

It is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The owner is extremely welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. There are lots of produce provided as a welcome treat- biscuits, teabags, coffee, milk and 2 bottles of wine. There are also little extras such as bubble bath in the bathroom. There are also owner goes just that little extra mile to make the property home from home. I would definitely return and would recommend. The only criticism I have is that the garden was not what I expected and I did not sit outside as much as I would have liked to.

This was our second visit to The Nook and we enjoyed another great holiday.

The property is spotless, comfortable and in a perfect location, we couldn’t have hoped for better. The accommodation and its facilities are a credit to the owner, John, and I would recommend the property to anyone visiting the area.

A lovely cottage with beautiful views.

Spacious, well appointed & comfortable. An excellent welcome pack greeted us on arrival. Weather was great too. The only downside was the garden was not fully enclosed & was only accessible from the front door of the house. Not ideal if you have a dog. Despite this we would still recommend The Nook to future holidaymakers.

The Nook was absolutely fabulous.

Lovely location with beautiful views, cosy with log fires and under floor heating, together with everything you need for your stay. Highly recommended we have already booked to return in 2025

Our second stay at the Nook, again warmly welcomed by the owner John.

Everything was just as good as we remembered. A very well equipped comfortable cottage with room to spread out and enjoy the sense of quiet. Perfect for exploring the beautiful surrounding area with many attractions close by. Great for walking or just reading in front of the fire. The Nook is very much recommended by us.

A lovely spacious and immaculate house with lots of extras provided.

Bath and ready hot water much appreciated. The owner was very friendly and helpful We would only make one small recommendation: the step from the main lounge down to the kitchen is very easy to miss. Maybe a dark strip could be put across it.

A beautiful home from home with everything we could have needed!

Comfortable, well stocked and a very attentive owner. We greatly enjoyed our stay here and wouldn't hesitate to return. Views are stunning and location ideal for exploring the Cotswolds.

The Nook was the perfect spot for our family holiday in the Cotswolds.

The property has plenty of space for a family of 4, with brilliant facilities throughout the house. Great to find high quality toiletries, a lovely welcome pack with wine, biscuits, milk, tea and coffee upon arrival. Our kids loved their bedroom and super comfy beds, along with their own bathroom. We particularly enjoyed the light and airy living space with the big window - a beautiful panoramic view. John, the property owner was excellent throughout and available whenever we needed him, along with a lovely chat about the property and the surrounding area on one of the nights. The Nook would make a wonderful place to stay at any time of the year and is ideally located to explore the nearby villages through walks, or further afield by car. We do hope to stay again in the future.

This is the second time we have stayed at The Nook.

John, the owner, was so welcoming and the cottage is such a comfortable place to stay. It is equipped with everything we could possibly need. The welcome goodies John left for us were very much appreciated, as we were there to have a quiet golden anniversary celebration. Thank you so much.

The Nook was extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a short stay.

John had thought of everything and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. The location was stunning and was perfect for access to other places to visit in and around the Cotswolds. Our only recommendation, only due to what we are used to at home, would be a larger bed but it was very comfortable all the same. Would thoroughly recommend a stay there and would definitely revisit the area as it was nothing short of beautiful.

Excellent accommodation, clean, well equipped and spacious.

Our host, John, was extremely friendly and helpful. We had a great holiday and would definitely return to this property and would certainly recommend it to family and friends visiting the area.

This is a fabulous holiday property presented to a high standard.

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable, everything you need provided and all excellent in quality. We had a wonderful week and the owner could not have been more helpful. We would love to return.

This was by far the best property we have stayed in.

The usual bag of cleaning items and cooking utensils I bring were not needed. Would love to stay here again if we holiday in this area. Thank you.

Great cottage in a beautiful location.

Well equipped with all household requirements for a holiday away from home . Off road parking for 2 cars . Cottage situated perfectly for walks into the surrounding areas, Penswick , Cranham , Slad and Stroud , public footpaths well signposted and enjoyable scenery on route , maps and walks available at the cottage. Highly recommended.

Absolutely superb, stunningly, beautiful cottage with first class interiors.

The best ever, welcome pack. The views are amazing. We met John when we arrived, as we found, finding the cottage, a little difficult, but he directed us and we never had a problem after that, such a lovely man and so very helpful. We got to visit Oxford, Gloucester, Cirencester, Upper and Lower Slaughter, Stow on the Wold ,Broadway and Boughton on the water, every one was beautiful but we loved Oxford, the history of that area is pretty outstanding.

Special Time for Christmas at The Nook We felt right at home and loved The Nook from the minute we stepped through the door.

We loved the view from lounge/dining room, it was stunning and equally so from the garden. The cottage was clean, well equipped and warm and cosy. A great retreat after exploring the many surrounding walks/woodland areas straight on foot from the front door. The area has lots lovely places to visit and the local pub, The Butchers Arms really was such a great pub to visit. Thanks to John for his helpful, friendly welcome and and the treats left for our stay, they were just lovely. All in all The Nook made our 1st Christmas away very special and we will treasure the memories made in this beautiful cottage for some time to come.

Wow, we really loved The Nook.

Beautiful location with a fantastic view from the living/dining room, Great kitchen with all the essential equipment and good quality pots and pans etc. The bedrooms were a good size with lovely furnishings. John, the owner, made sure we were comfortable and we very much appreciated the goodies left for us. This was the cleanest holiday home we have ever stayed in. Thank you so much we had a great holiday.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Nook, from the moment we arrived until we reluctantly left it was perfect.

The view from the large windows is beautiful and will change with the seasons. The cottage is warm, comfortable and very well equiped with all you could need. The surrounding area has much to explore and many lovely country pubs to recharge your batteries. We would highly recommend The Nook, we will definitely be returning for another perfect holiday.

The owners were extremely friendly and helpful.

Without crowding us, they were very concerned that we were happy and had everything we needed. Many thanks John and Janice xxx

The Nook is by far the best holiday property we have ever stayed in.

It is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a short break or a longer holiday. The cottage was clean and easy to care for and the owner was next door to welcome us when we arrived. We were able to relax and to do as much or as little as we wanted while we were there. We plan to return next year if we can.

Really lovely property in a great location.

The picture doesn’t do the views justice. If you’re looking for relaxation and time away from a busy job or living in the city then this is the place to stay. The property itself it’s clean, comfortable and John made us feel very welcome. We will definitely stay again. Thanks to John and family for a really relaxed, peaceful stay.

The cottage was perfect, absolutely fabulous position looking out to rolling hills, trees and wildlife.

Very well equipped with all that you would ever need. Off street parking a bonus. John, the owner could not have been more helpful. Lovely welcoming basket, wine milk biscuits etc. Perfect for a quiet relaxing stay, with plenty of local walks, to discover. This cottage is not suited for the elderly or those with mobility issues. The stairs are steep, with shallow treads and polished wood, could do with a carpet runner to make the stairs less of a hazard, there is a risk of slipping. The steps up from the off street parking bay could also do with some support to avoid falling. Be warned, the local roads to the cottage, are narrow and steep in places, in poor weather conditions these could be difficult to negotiate.

The Nook is one of the cleanest and well equipped holiday properties that we have stayed in!

We were met by John the owner and he kindly left us some essential treats for us to enjoy. We had fabulous weather and enjoyed the Nooks garden, local walks and fantastic views. There is so much to do in the area that you're spoilt for choice! The local pub the Butchers Arms , a short walk away are so accommodating if you have food allergies and the food is fantastic. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday Thank you John ( and wife).

I pride myself in being able to find good holiday cottages, but the Nook is by far the best ever.

It was absolutely perfect. Great location, in easy reach for walks and day trips, or fabulous views if you want to stay at home. And an amazing cottage too. Beautifully designed and equipped with everything that anyone could need. The perfect host too—welcoming and helpful, but quite happy to leave us to our own devices. We’ll most definitely be back.

We spent a wonderful week at The Nook.

The house is tastefully furnished and caters for your every need. The view from the living room is a joy! Many thanks to the owner John, who was very helpful and friendly, also providing many thoughtful extras upon arrival. There are many local walks so you there is no need to always have to get in the car to enjoy the beauty of the area. A lovely house in a super location - highly recommended.

Excellent accommodation and very helpful owner

A fabulous cottage which was both comfortable and well equipped.

Very clean and had some lovely little extras. John was on hand if we needed anything. Lovely quiet place with fabulous views. A great base for a visit to the Cotswolds.

One of the very best properties we have had the pleasure of staying in!

An immaculately presented property with modern fittings throughout.

There is a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside from the large picture window in the main lounge. It is very convenient for visiting the nearby towns, Stroud being only a short drive away and Cheltenham about 10 miles. There is a good local pub, the Butchers Arms, half a mile away. Very convenient if you want a rest from cooking. All in all you couldn’t do better than stay at this superb property. The owner is very friendly and helpful.

Excellent location and extremely well equipped.

One of the best cottages we've ever stayed in, UK or abroad.

Our stay at the Nook was extremely good.

We met John on the first day and he showed us around and was on call if we had any problems. There was everything we needed and more, for an enjoyable holiday and comfortable stay. All the amenities seemed new and were easy to use although manuals were available if we needed them. We loved our time there and look forward to returning.

Lovely cottage , very well equipped throughout.

Great place to stay to explore the Cotswold and surrounding area. Lovely welcome pack and attentive owner. Slight access problem for people with mobility issues.

We loved staying at The Nook.

Great location, easy parking, warm and with excellent facilities. The owner could not have been more helpful.

We had a wonderful long stay at the Nook, the cottage is very well appointed with every conceivable need being met by the owners - John and Janice.

We received a welcome provision pack with a bottle of wine on arrival, and pampering toiletries in the bathrooms. The cottage is large, but very warm and hospitable. The shower is hot and pressurised - a dream. The views are magnificent ! We would recommend this as a sort or long stay to anyone, and to our friends and family. In our opinion and experience our stay scored 100%

Superb !

This luxurious, sparkling clean, very well equipped cottage has been a life saviour while we house hunted in the area. For the last 28 days we have had the pleasure of staying in this delightful cottage with beautiful huge windows overlooking gorgeous views. Every attention to detail has been lovingly thought through by the owners John and Janice, with first night provisions to bath products and more. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped with everything a person could need. With large capacity washing, drying and dishwasher machines a families chores are done in a jiffy leaving you to enjoy. The shower water pressure is fantastic for an invigorating shower after a good walk. The owners have given me every assistance to help make our stay comfortable and memorable. I would definatley recommend this cottage to friends and family. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will look back on this month with fond memories.

We had a great week at The Nook.

So clean and comfortable with high quality furnishings. The Nook is situated in a fabulous picturesque area of the Cotswolds with views over the countryside. Lots of lovely walks from the door and a pleasure to return to the accommodation after a day out. The owner was very helpful- great stay all around. Thoroughly recommend.

We were the first guests in the holiday home.

We have to say John and Janice were amazing hosts. The place is in an idyllic setting, and the facilities inside are all that is needed. The kitchen offers the best facilities we have ever had in a Sykes' cottage. Every room was spotless, and all beds and bedding brand new. The snug is a great room, quiet and cosy, with a really nice fireplace. This goes for the main living room too. The place is easy to heat and stays warm, so you don't need to worry about getting cold. Parking is easy too. I work from home and therefore internet is a must; the Nook offers 35Mbs+, which is more than most. Absolutely brilliant 1 months stay!
