About
Wild Garlic Rooms are at 3 Cossack Square in the middle of Nailsworth. Chef Matthew and Hannah took over the old Mad Hatter's restaurant here and reopened it as Wild Garlic in November 2007; in 2017 they opened Wilder, their tasting-menu restaurant across the road on Market Street. After lockdown the ground-floor restaurant at Cossack Square became two self-catering apartments.
There are five rooms and suites: the Loft Suite, the Nest Family Suite, with bunk beds for children and a separate double room for parents, and three rooms named Elderflower, Sorrel and Nettle. On the ground floor, two apartments, Newmarket and Shortwood, each have a super king bedroom (twin on request), a kitchen-diner, a lounge and a sofa bed for a child.
Check-in is contactless, with details sent the day before, and every room has its own entrance at the back of the building. The rooms come with a continental breakfast. Trip.com lists check-in from 3pm, check-out by 10am and no pets. Its Airbnb listing says there are no staff on site. The upper rooms are reached by an outside staircase with no lift. There is no parking on site, but the town's car parks are free and close by. It suits a night after dinner at Wilder, or a base for walking the valleys around Nailsworth without a car.
