Finest Retreats - ARC Painswick

We loved this property in the quiet town of Painswick. We traveled as an extended family and found the house had plenty of room for all and was very comfortable. We cooked some big meals in the well equipped kitchen and enjoyed games around the fire in the evenings. Location was great for walking to restaurants, the pub, shops and local provision store. Easy parking was a short walk away and Painswick’s location was convenient to many other Cotswolds’ towns/sites. We had a wonderful time!!

Kirsty was an amazing host and was very helpful. The house was so well stocked with everything. So many places to sit in and out.

The property is incredible, immaculately presented and designed wonderfully. The team were so helpful at all times and couldn’t have done more for us. Sound proofing - we were very conscious of noise because of the close neighbours and area in general. Being a group of 17 women. One neighbour even knocked as we were leaving to thank us for being so respectful. However there’s noise monitors in the house, that kept going off even whilst we were having breakfast so put us on edge about noise in general. We understand the need to control noise however I’d suggest moving the noise monitors or adjusting them. Other than that, it was incredible.

This 14th century manor house was perfect for my family of 14 as we gathered for a reunion and anniversary celebration. We loved staying under one roof. Having king sized beds and ensuite bathrooms was a special treat, as that is not yet the norm everywhere overseas. The swimming pool for the kids was a real plus at the end of a hot and full day of sightseeing. And the house itself was just one block from pub, coffee shop and grocery store! We loved the huge kitchen and dining room, which made it easy and fun to cook and clean up together while sipping wine and cocktails. Having 2 dishwashers, 2 hubs and 4 ovens accommodated us extremely well. Special koodos to the staff who looked after our every need, especially bringing fans for each room due to the unseasonably hot days. Having numerous living areas allowed the kids to have their own space. This house was truly perfect in every way, Thank you, thank you, thank you for a lovely and memorable stay. Offering a house for up to 24 guests, one washer/dryer was insufficient. The artwork throughout, which was garish and demonic, was unappreciated, frightening and confusing to young children and inappropriate for families.
