About
Stable Cottage is a former stable in the grounds of a Georgian manor house in Painswick, converted into a cottage that sleeps four. The ground floor has the sitting room, dining area and galley kitchen, with a dishwasher, and a double bedroom whose bathroom has a walk-in shower and a whirlpool bath. Upstairs is a twin room with a wet room.
Outside is a private garden enclosed by fences and hedges, with a gravelled terrace for eating out and a petanque piste. Dogs are welcome, there is fast wifi, and linen and towels are included; a travel cot and high chair can be provided. The manor's own grounds are not for guests.
It shares a website with Barn Cottage, which sleeps six, and both are let through My Favourite Cottages, whose team takes bookings from 9am to 8pm every day. A 30% deposit secures a booking, with the balance and a refundable security deposit of £200 or £250 due eight weeks before arrival. Painswick is on the Cotswold Way, with Stroud and Slad close by.
