A Dog's Paradise

Bring your furry friends along! We welcome up to 2 dogs (a flat £15 per stay), and Trillis Cottage is set up for the perfect dog-friendly getaway. Have more furry friends? Let us know and we can discuss. Step straight from the door onto beautiful Cotswold walking trails, with three dog-friendly pubs within walking distance.

The secure enclosed garden gives your dogs space to play safely, and after their adventures, they'll love curling up by the wood burner with you.

Cosy Cotswold Evenings

As the day winds down, gather around the wood burning stove in the beautifully renovated living room. The crackling fire creates the perfect ambiance for relaxing evenings, whether you're reading a book, sharing stories, or simply enjoying the peaceful countryside silence.

With comfortable seating and a smart TV, it's everything you need for a perfect Cotswold retreat.

Explore the Cotswolds

Perfectly positioned for discovering the best of the Cotswolds. Wander through honey-coloured villages like Bibury and Bourton-on-the-Water, explore historic Stroud's vibrant markets, or visit Cirencester's Roman heritage.

From ancient Roman villas to contemporary art galleries, award-winning restaurants to traditional country pubs, your Cotswold adventure starts here.

Wildlife on Your Doorstep

Step out of the back door and you're in Trillis Banks, a hidden 8-hectare grassland valley managed by Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust. The reserve was originally attached to the cottage, and you step straight into this peaceful haven.

This special valley is home to hazel dormice and limestone grassland flowers including greater butterfly-orchid, southern marsh-orchid, common rock-rose and common milkwort. The Holy Brook winds through meadows and sloping banks, linking to the canal and three woodlands, two of them ancient (Penny Grove and Barnage Wood, plus Siccaridge Wood). Deer and foxes are regular visitors around the cottage.

Here's what our guests say about their stay at Trillis Cottage

Gorgeous wee cottage, lovely hot tub… renovated recently and at a lovely standard. Home from Home.

— Fiona

The hot tub was a highlight.

— Ben

The cottage is wonderful set in beautiful surroundings, the space is comfortable and the host is close enough to pop in and help if needed but remote enough that you're still very much in private. Overall the space and surrounding area are fantastic and would certainly stay again in future.

— Samantha

Fantastic stay in a beautifully renovated cottage. The location is perfect for exploring the Cotswolds with walks right from the door.

— Robert
