3 Bedroom Cottage in Tetbury

Head from the centre of Tetbury halfway down Gumstool Hill, a quiet no-through road and the location of the historic Tetbury Woolsack Race. Here you will find Hillview Cottage, a 19th century, terraced, three-story, Cotswold cottage with a front door that opens into the cosy living space. The owners have retained the cottage's charm, while bringing it up to date with contemporary furnishings and comforts. The ground floor has a pretty living-dining room to the front, with a large woodburner and window seats (an ideal spot for watching the world and Woolsack Race go by), and a contemporary kitchen to the rear, plus a back door opening to the terraced, courtyard garden. On the first floor is the master bedroom and family bathroom, while up the second flight of stairs is a double and single bedroom.
Hillview Cottage has a long and narrow, courtyard garden set over three terraces, each with seating areas, providing plenty of opportunities to eat and drink al fresco, particularly on the top level which has a raised deck and catches the sun, when it's out, all day long. At the bottom of Gumstool Hill is a pretty community park with paths to Preston Park, the Chipping Steps and a stream and bridge leading to the Goods Shed Arts Centre and the Tetbury Trail.
Ground Floor
Step in through the front door onto a small, raised entrance area with hooks for coats and a handy basket for keys.
Living/Dining Room:
The cottage's principal living space is at the front of the property looking out over Gumstool Hill. Here you will find a large woodburning stove set in the original fireplace with a painted, exposed stone surround, and two delightful window seats. The living area has original, limestone flooring with a cosy rug, a four-seater sofa, an armchair, and occasional tables with reading lamps. A 32" smart TV sits to one side on an oak stand, with shelving holding family games and local walking guides. The dining area has a wooden floor with a table, bench and chairs to seat five guests.
Head to the rear hallway, with limestone flooring, where you will find the kitchen, a back door out to the garden, a walk-in understairs cupboard and the staircase up to the bedrooms and family bathroom.
Kitchen:
Though small, the kitchen is well-equipped with a five-ring gas hob and electric oven, a double sink, a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge-freezer, plus all the essentials for a self-catering stay. It is a lovely bright room with sunlight streaming in through the Velux windows and the window looking out to the garden.
First Floor
Head up the carpeted staircase to a small landing with a long mirror:
Bedroom One:
The delightful master bedroom is decorated in soothing white and pink tones and overlooks the rooftops of Gumstool Hill and the trees behind them. It features a king-size bed with a bedside table and reading lamp to one side and a fitted wardrobe with hanging space and shelves to the other side. (Note: the bedroom door must be shut to gain access to the left-hand side of the bed.)
Bathroom/Shower Room:
At the top of the first flight of stairs, and next to Bedroom One, is the family bathroom with a full-size bath and over bath power shower, a WC and wash basin.
Second Floor
Head up the carpeted staircase with a rope handrail to the top floor landing and two bedrooms in the converted eaves. Here you will find a long mirror and some open shelves, with space for storing luggage and/or clothes and the travel cot. (Note, this staircase is steep and curving, so is unsuitable for guests with restricted mobility or very young children.)
Bedroom Two:
The second double bedroom features a standard double bed with shelves to one side, with a night light and space for personal items. Over by the window, which overlooks the garden, is a dressing table with a mirror and stool. The bedroom has hooks with coat hangers for hanging clothes.
Bedroom Three:
Your dreams will be sweet in this pretty, single bedroom, overlooking Gumstool Hill and the mature trees along the Tetbury Trail. The bedroom is furnished with a single bed with a bedside table and reading lamp, a chest of drawers with a make-up mirror and hooks with coat hangers for hanging clothes.
Outside
Step out the back door to a pretty, gravel courtyard garden built on three terraces, each with seating. The first terrace, directly outside the kitchen, has a wooden bench and is ideal for enjoying a reviving early morning cuppa, the second has a bistro table with two chairs, and the last terrace has a raised wooden deck with a dining table and chairs to comfortably seat five guests. This terrace catches the sun all day, perfect for al fresco dining with a great view over the adjoining gardens and rooftops. (Note: the first set of steps from the back door to the first terrace are particularly deep and would be difficult for young children and guests with reduced mobility.)

Summary: The cottage was in a really good location a short (steep!) walk into Tetbury. It was warm welcoming, comfortable and well equipped. Bear in mind it has steep stairs to the top floor. Castle Combe was a half hour drive away & Westonbirt only 10/15 minutes away. Tetbury has lots of local shops, eateries and pubs.

Summary: Beautiful old cottage with a peaceful, well planned garden. Cottage is within walking distance of the town and countryside walks. Hillside cottage is true to its name as it is situated on a very steep HILL.

Summary: Hillside Cottage was in a fantastic location and the sitting/dining room was lovely and cosy with beautiful autumnal views. We found the log burner difficult to keep lit which was disappointing. The shower was very weak and lacking pressure. Also insufficient hot water for a bath on arrival. There is a musty slightly damp odour in the property.

Summary: Had a great time in a cosy atmosphere. We had everything we needed at hand and didn't need to worry about anything. Can only recommend :)

Summary: Traveling from the US with family, we needed a home base from which to explore the Cotswolds. Hillside Cottage was a snug, quiet place where we could rest after our daily adventures. We enjoyed the market on Saturday and all of the pubs and shops in town. Just walking around Tetbury was really enjoyable, such a pretty place. We are already talking about “next time”.

Summary: Lots of restaurants and pubs to choose from. Great access to main and country roads. Lots of sites from country market days to Roman ruins and tea rooms. Great location.

Summary: Very cosy cottage in a peaceful village. Comfortable, clean and recently refurbished. You need to be OK with stairs and not be too tall to fit the door frames ;-)

Summary: We spent three nights in this delightful cottage which was exactly as advertised and provided a very comfortable base from which to explore Tetbury and the surrounding area. We were fortunate with the weather so were able to enjoy the enchanting garden which is set on three levels. There were some nice touches such as complimentary biscuits and wine on arrival. Centrally located, there were several good pubs and restaurants on our doorstep and we especially enjoyed early evening drinks in the Close Hotel garden followed by a delicious dinner served at the Royal Oak. We plan to return soon to further explore the Cotswolds and would definitely recommend Bolthole Retreats for quality and value for money.

Summary: Hillside Cottage is pretty and located very near the centre of Tetbury. The rooms are light and airy and cool on hot days. Our complaint is with a very slow lack of response from the owner and their agent re an unstable/ unsafe toilet seat and lack of an airer to dry washing. Consequently, we had washing draped around the house to dry. The inventory had said that there was an airer in the house. It took from a Tuesday until a Thursday for an airer to be delivered and that was after intervention by the Bolthole Company as we had had no response from the local agent. The toilet seat problem was not resolved and we were told it was an ongoing problem that the owners knew about. It would have been extremely useful to have had a microwave as we would normally buy supermarket ‘ready meals’ whilst on holiday. It would also have been nice to have a teapot. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but it was overshadowed by the above. We felt it was an expensive rental and therefore we should have had better service

Summary: Rented cottage to catch up with girlfriends & to visit westonbirt & Tetbury. Cottage on a very steep hill - very quiet & friendly. Hill not for anyone unfit or with mobility issues - stairs to attic bedroom very steep & narrow tread! Garden area on three levels also. Cottage lovely, warm & welcoming - quality towels, bed linen & utensils & furniture. Good central location - lovely cafe in the goods shed /arts centre at the bottom of the hill. JMC
