About Us Report

We hope the tranquil surroundings of Whitminster House Self Catering Cottages will provide you with the peace and pleasure we have found in living here. Whitminster House is listed Grade II* and is a charming example of a family home that has evolved over the centuries. The manor dates from Saxon times and is mentioned in The Domesday Book.

Local Information Report

Nearest Mainline Station from London Paddington is STONEHOUSE (between Stroud & Gloucester) c. 4 miles/10-15 mins drive away. There are several through trains each day, some requiring a change of platform at Swindon. N.B. Stonehouse has a short platform so move to the front of the train as it leaves Stroud.

Lovely venue, great facilities and had a great time. Just disappointed that we weren't able to find any recycling bins and not even compost, particularly since the grounds could easily have had its own compost patch.

We had a wonderful stay at Walk fam cottages. We were a large family group of 22. Each cottage was lovely and clean, good size kitchens, well equipped. The house is full of character and rustic. Plenty of space to eat outside, play games, BBQs, hot tub, lovely walks, we even hired a long boat for the day from the marina which is 4 mins walk away. The owner was so helpful and went out of her way to ensure we enjoyed our stay. The weather was sunny which helped a lot. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely warm cosy cottage. Dog friendly with walks from the door.
Spotlessly clean, and exemplary attention to detail ref Covid 19, we could not have felt safer. Thank you for a lovely stay

What a wonderful venue! Charming accommodation, beautiful grounds, lovely walks nearby, great value for money - just about perfect. The children in our family group couldn't have been happier. Our hostess was friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was relaxed. Highly recommended.....

Really amazing little gem. It's not all brand new and is a little worn around the edges but beautiful setting and very peaceful. Close to Cheltenham and good for groups numbers 30 or so. Would also make a great wedding venue.

Wonderfully old countryside house with plenty of rooms and several nearby pubs to go for walks to. A perfect countryside retreat for small or large groups. Lovely hosts who are happy to help. Well outfitted kitchens so it is nice and easy to cook.

We had a 30th birthday party at Whitminster House (West Wing, Old Stables and Harnesses Room) for 22 of us across a weekend. We had a wonderful time! The owner was incredibly helpful from reservation to check out. The Party Room provided all the space, crockery, cutlery and glassware that we needed for all our meals. The surrounding area provided beautiful walks. The accommodation is rustic and homely. We would happily go back.
