Silver Birch Lodge

Silver Birch Lodge is a detached cottage in Stroud with a king bed, bathroom with bath and shower, and an open-plan ground floor combining living space, dining area and kitchen. The property is yours alone, set back from the road with views across open countryside. Two unfenced ponds sit in the grounds, which also include a patio with garden furniture and parking for two vehicles.

The kitchen has an electric cooker, microwave, dishwasher and washer-dryer, so you can self-cater properly or simply reheat. Essentials like bed linen, towels, wi-fi and electricity are all included. Gas central heating keeps things warm. Smoking is not permitted inside.

Tickmorend Farm is nearby, and walking distance brings you to Nailsworth's restaurants, delis and bakeries. The Cotswolds' larger attractions—Bath, Cheltenham, Cirencester and Westonbirt Arboretum—are within easy reach, as are footpaths across Minchinhampton and Rodborough Common. The lodge is not suitable for children.
