Town and civil parish in Gloucestershire, not far from Cheltenham (10 miles). Although it was founded on the wool trade, modern visitors to the town flock to see the yew trees in the parish church and stroll around the Rococo Garden. Cotswold Stone, found in the area, was used extensively in the construction of the settlement. It is located midway along the Cotswolds Way National Trail and sits atop a hill in the Stroud district, providing a view of one of the Five Valleys. There is a popular golf course just outside of town, and the city also boasts a cricket and rugby team. The Royal Oak is a neighbourhood watering hole with a patio, actual fireplaces, and real ale. The local convenience store may be found right across from the bar. The Painswick Beacon, which is just a twenty-minute stroll from the village, offers breathtaking panoramas of Gloucester, the River Severn, and the Malvern Hills. The Painswick Centre is home to the ACP Gallery and a wide variety of events and exhibitions. Laurie Lee, author of "Cider with Rosie," grew up in the little town of Slad, located just two miles to the northwest of Painswick.

The views are absolutely stunning and everything provided was fresh and spotlessly clean. We didnât want for anything! I like that the pots had been planted for a touch of Autumn colour - it shows that the house is well cared for inside and out. Lisa was very accommodating and communicative throughout. We shall definitely be booking to stay again.

It was exceptionally clean, has good facilities and is well presented. Communication on booking, arrival and throughout our stay was easy and helpful. Taller family members did have to watch out for low beams upstairs and eye masks were provided as very light in the bedrooms from the high windows. Neither of these detracted from a lovely property, we would happily go back. Thank you for our stay.
