With rolling hills and extensive countryside views as the idyllic backdrop for a country adventure, this impressive retreat has plenty to offer. Recently refurbished and thoughtfully decorated, there are hints of splendour from high ceilings with intricate mouldings to original parquet flooring and the welcoming living spaces with cosy seating areas and modern twists. In the garden, the picturesque scenery is best enjoyed from the well-positioned patio, with a generous lawn to while away a summer evening; there is no place better to immerse in the tranquillity of the surroundings. Old Rectory is a dog friendly holiday home, suitable for three well-behaved dogs!

My friends and I have just had a wonderful stay at the Old Rectory. The house itself has everything you need for an extended stay. It is also in a lovely location. The views over the Miserden valley from the house are absolutely stunning. All the bedrooms are extremely comfortable with a good number of bathrooms between them. The kitchen is very well equipped. There is a large dining table that can seat all guests easily. There is also a great games room. Lovely outdoor spaces with great views. Plenty of car parking spaces too in front of the house. We all agreed we would definitely return to the Old Rectory for another stay as it had everything we needed to enjoy our time together.
