Property and location. Toadsmoor House sleeps up to 21 in seven bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. A grand Victorian residence in the wooded Toadsmoor Valley just outside Stroud, it has been newly refurbished over four floors of tall, light-filled rooms, with sash windows and period features set against a calm, understated interior.
