Combe Cottage is a semi-detached four hundred year old Cotswold stone holiday cottage that still retains much original character with exposed beams and log fire.

The cottage is located in the Golden Valley just two miles outside the market town of Stroud, in the village of Brimscombe.  Stroud offers a wide range of shops, restaurants and pubs and is known for its bohemian culture and is favoured by artists and craftspeople.

Gloucester, Cheltenham and Cirencester are all within easy reach and less than a thirty minute drive, while the famous Cotswold towns of Bourton on the water, Stow on the Wold, Moreton in Marsh, Chipping Campden and Burford can be reached in forty five minutes.

For those willing to venture a little further afield, the world famous Roman City of Bath is only twenty eight miles south, Stratford upon Avon is forty two miles, Warwick is forty eight miles, Oxford is thirty eight miles and Bristol is thirty miles, all making great days out.

Within one mile of the cottage is Minchenhampton and Rodborough common an area of over five hundred acres of land belonging to the National Trust.

The area around Stroud has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and abounds with attractive Cotswold towns and villages such as Bisley, Minchenhampton, Uley, Chalford, Slad and Painswick (known as the queen of the Cotswolds).

There are plenty of places of interest to visit in this area including: Bath with its Abbey and Roman Baths, Gloucester Cathedral and Docks (home of the national waterways museum), Cotswold Water Park, Slimbridge Wild Foul Trust and Prinknash Abbey to name just a few.
