Luxury 6 Bed House, Hot Tub, Games Room and in Walking Distance to Village Pub

Cotswold House, in the village of North Nibley is a very large, super stylish, luxury property with a beautiful private garden.

It is unique in that it has a huge amount of downstairs living space as well as 6 large bedrooms which can accommodate up to 17 people (the bedrooms are large and several rooms can accommodate additional memory foam Z beds - usually for the children - and/or traditional metal framed Z beds if required).

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,

We are child friendly and provide a cot and high chair free of charge.

We are also dog friendly and accept one or two well behaved, mature dogs (no puppies please) for a small additional fee of £40 per dog per booking. For the benefit of future clients, we do ask that dogs are kept downstairs at all times and stay off the furniture and that no trace of dog hair remains after departure.

Photographer available – the owner of the house is a professional photographer and offers preferential rates for groups at the house so if you are celebrating a special occasion and would like some wonderful pictures do let us know.

Beautiful house & garden, & lovely hosts!
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!

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.

Fabulous weekend
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.

A fabulous place to mark my Mum's 80th birthday!
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!

Our Wonderfull weekend at Cotswold House
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.

This property itself is amazing, but the hosts are what put it over the top! We were a group of 14 (8 of which are kids under 7) and we all enjoyed the property with its multiple different hang out areas; the hut tub was especially a hit! There is a pub within 15 mins walking which we frequented as well. We had an issue w the hot tub one night, but Ian came out within 5 mins to rectify the issue. We arrived to the unit late and the host went out of her way to accommodate us by meeting the grocery delivery people. We have stayed all over the world and these are without a doubt the best hosts we’ve encountered thus far. Thanks for a memorable Cotswolds experience!
