Miserden Estate holiday lets
Two holiday lets on the Miserden estate: a one-bedroom flat in the Grade II* house at Miserden Park, with free entry to the garden, and the Old Rectory in the village, sleeping 13.
Walker-friendly
A chance to stay on a working Cotswold estate: the flat suits a couple who want the garden to themselves before the visitors come, and the Old Rectory a big family party. Dogs can come to the Old Rectory but not the flat, and the flat is up two flights of stairs.
- Good: Park Flat guests visit the Garden at Miserden free during opening hours
- Good: The flat has its own entrance, high ceilings and free parking
- Good: The Old Rectory sleeps 13, with the park at the bottom of the garden
- Worth knowing: The flat is up stairs on the second floor, with no lift mentioned, and takes no pets
- Worth knowing: The garden is closed until April 2027, and dogs are not allowed in it
- Worth knowing: Booked through an agency, Stay Cotswold, not on the estate's own site
About
The Miserden estate, around the village of Miserden, with its seventeenth-century garden, lets two of its houses to holidaymakers. Both are booked through the Cotswold agency Stay Cotswold, linked from the estate's own Stay page.
Miserden Park Flat is a large one-bedroom flat on the second floor of the Grade II* listed house, with its own entrance, a kitchen-diner, a sitting room and a bathroom with a bath and a shower, all with high ceilings and views over the park. Stay Cotswold lists it as sleeping two in a double bed, with free wifi and off-street parking for two cars; it takes no pets, and electric cars may not be charged there. Check-in is from 3pm and check-out by 11am. Guests may walk into the Garden at Miserden free whenever it is open, which in 2026 was Wednesday to Sunday and bank holidays, 10am to 5pm, from spring to autumn. It reopens in April 2027.
The Old Rectory is a newly refurbished country house in the middle of the village, sleeping up to 13, with large grounds and the park starting at the bottom of the garden. Stay Cotswold lists six bedrooms, all upstairs, and three bathrooms, a games room with a pool and table tennis table, an unenclosed garden and parking for six cars. Up to three dogs are welcome at £40 each per booking, check-in is from 4pm and check-out by 10am, and electric cars may not be charged there. The village pub and shop are a short walk from both, and the estate's walks, among them a 1.8km Lake Walk past the arboretum, start nearby. The estate asks for dogs to be kept on leads on its walks.
