The Gothic Woodchester Manor and the ancient market town of Minchinhampton, with its weekly market held in the 17th century Market House, numerous individual shops, antique shops, and traditional pubs and cafes, are well worth a visit. The National Trust manages over 500 acres of common land nearby, including Minchinhampton, Rodborough, and Selsley Commons, which are great for walking and cycling.

Mattress is very firm and pillows look fluffy and soft but werenât. Left a day early due to being unable to sleep. Maybe too rural for us too with a lack of a local shop and also local pub closed too. Listing said 3 pubs within 3 miles but only 2 of them are open. Heating was difficult to control it was either too hot or too cold and then heat just rises (naturally) and makes the bed area too warm. Good of you want an extreme rural holiday get away with a dog and bringing own food/groceries but if relying on local shops etc is difficult.

The property had beer in an ideal rural location just as I wanted having 2 dogs and having access to many public foot paths and beautiful walks. The property is small but perfect and has everything you need to make your stay comfortable.

It was a last minute decision on the Thursday night, and booked for the following day. Lovely little village with lots of walks with the dog, over stiles and across fields. Did a 'mountain climb' in Uley, around Uley Bury iron age hill fort, which is only about 5 minutes drive away from Tump Cottage. Circular walk from Uley Church, and met quite a few hikers doing the same walk and a few just walking for leisure, like us. The Cottage was perfect, it had everything we needed, and we enjoyed the biscuits, crisps and cereal. We always take some of our own essentials (bread, milk etc) because you never know when you get to a place, whether the local shops will be open or whether you get there too late to get to a shop. The farm is lovely, chickens roaming around freely and doves in the barn. The lovely lady who does the day to day running of the cottages was really friendly and helpful and literally lives opposite, so no stress about trying to get hold of anyone if there were any problems. We would definitely recommend Tump Cottage.
