About this cottage rental
Or perhaps you’d like to feel like Gulliver in Lilliput for the time of a weekend? The Little House on Gumstool Hill is as cosy as it gets.
Sitting on the popular Gumstool Hill in the heart of the Cotswolds, The Folly (the cottage) is only a stone’s throw away from the centre of Tetbury. There are lovely walks just outside the cottage along the small river, and all the services are extremely close.
THE SPACE
The cottage features lovely Cotswold stone and roof tiles. It is very small, but comfortable and some parts of it are newly refurbished. A paddle space saver staircase leads to the upstairs bedroom. It comprises of a king size bed, a high pile rug (snug for your toes) and two bedside tables (nothing else will fit!).
You can have your breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner and supper in the kitchenette. Or alternatively you can nip into the local bakery and iconic pubs only a tiny stroll away.
The kitchenette has two portable electric hobs, a microwave oven, a kettle, a toaster, a small fridge and all the necessary kitchenware and cutlery.
WARNING: The space saving paddle staircase is very steep. The cottage is not suited to people with mobility issues.
I will not be present in person, but I will be available 24/7 throughout your stay by phone and through HomeAway messages should you have any questions or concerns.
THE LOCATION
Tetbury has won numerous awards, earning the accolade "Heart of England in Bloom" and "Best Small Town." It was founded as an ancient hill fort, and on the same site was later built a Saxon monastery in 681, most likely by Ine of Wessex.
Today, Tetbury is known as a small hidden gem of an English town, praised for its charming cottages and ivy-clad buildings and cottages, abundance of flowers and greenery, history, wool, antique shops, and historic buildings.
Being in the Cotswolds, a number of lovely and popular walks are available to you, as well as the myriad of cute and iconic villages.
GETTING AROUND
Gumstool Hill is a cul-de-sac just off the centre of Tetbury. There are lovely walks just behind the cottage along the small river and tree lined paths.
There is off-street parking just in front of the cottage. The driveway is small (like everything about The Folly), but your car will fit. If you happen to have a rather large van or a mobile home, there is parking available on the street without restrictions.

Great location right in town. Bottom of a short steep hill with beautiful buildings. House really is tiny but worked well for my wife and I who are not very big. The shower stall is tiny but still manageable. We enjoyed the cute little place. Very unique and location is great.
5.0
The house is so small, but lovely. It's perfect if for most of the day you want to go exploring. It's in the centre of Tetbury and near to so many towns and villages in the area. Tetbury is nice with a few great puns close by.

A little place that’s an easy walk to town with a park nearby.

The property is what it says - central location and small.
Steep staircase to bedroom. Lounge/kitchen is very compact with bi folding doors to loo.
Perfect for a 1 night stay.
We went to Highgrove. Had a coffee when we got in, ate out, slept well and left after breakfast.

Parking is a problem, only a very small car can be parked at the property, double yellow lines have been added while we were there further limiting parking. Not suitable for elderly people very acute paddle stairs making it dangerous. Several places with black mould on the walls, insufficient hot water for a shower, heating turned off too early in the year

It’s small but perfectly formed and has everything one needs for a stay in the heart of Gloucestershire. Plenty of fine bars, pubs and restaurants within easy (uphill) walking distance. We will return.
5.0
Tiny but comfy.
4.0
The space was clean and well maintained, but definitely tighter than we thought. Bathroom is like a closet. Also - we made the assumption, as a cottage, it was a single dwelling - but it is connected to other homes and the walls are quite thin.
It was ok for the night we stayed, but I can't say I would want to stay again. Area is very cute though.
