The Little House on Gumstool Hill, affectionately known as The Folly, offers a charming and cozy retreat for two in the picturesque town of Tetbury, Gloucestershire, nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This quaint cottage, characterized by its lovely Cotswold stone and roof tiles, is conveniently located just a short distance from the town center, providing easy access to local amenities and delightful walks along the nearby river. With its inviting atmosphere, The Folly promises an experience reminiscent of Gulliver in Lilliput, making it an ideal getaway for couples seeking tranquility and charm.
The cottage is compact yet comfortable, featuring a newly refurbished interior that includes an upstairs bedroom with a king-size bed, adorned with a plush high-pile rug and two bedside tables. Guests will find a well-equipped kitchenette, perfect for preparing meals or enjoying breakfast, with amenities such as portable electric hobs, a microwave, and essential kitchenware. However, potential visitors should note that the space-saving paddle staircase leading to the bedroom is steep, which may pose challenges for those with mobility issues. The host remains readily available via phone and messaging for any inquiries during the stay.
Tetbury itself is a celebrated destination, having received multiple accolades including "Heart of England in Bloom" and "Best Small Town." With a rich history dating back to its origins as an ancient hill fort and later a Saxon monastery, the town is adorned with charming cottages, lush greenery, and an array of antique shops. Visitors can immerse themselves in the scenic beauty of the Cotswolds, exploring numerous walking paths that lead to quaint villages and stunning landscapes, making it a hidden gem for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
Accessibility to The Folly is convenient, situated in a cul-de-sac just off Tetbury's center. Off-street parking is available, accommodating standard vehicles, while larger vans or mobile homes can find unrestricted street parking nearby. Local landmarks such as Chavenage House and Highgrove House are within reach, alongside attractions like Highgrove Shop Tetbury and Hookshouse Pottery. For those looking to engage in recreational activities, the area offers hiking, ecotours, and horse riding, ensuring a fulfilling experience for all visitors to this enchanting corner of England.
