"Absolutely gorgeous place to stay, so cozy and with everything you need!"

"Apologies for the delayed feedback."
We thoroughly enjoyed our short break at Little Culver in the very charming village of Minchinhampton. The property is beautifully quirky, is very well presented and everything yiou would expect of a period property, we loved it! The village has everything close by, within a couple of minutes walk and we would highly recommend the proeprty and the area to other guests. Will definitely book again if coming to the area.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and the quirkiness of the cottage. We hope we can welcome you back again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"We thought it was a lovely cottage."
Very warm and welcoming when we arrived on a cold wet evening. There was a little cake and some milk. A few minor issues were the lounge curtains were hanging off the rails Some of the windowsills were very dusty and cobwebby. Beds OK but not super comfy. Four logs in the welcome pack did not last long at all. However, the cottage was very well equipped and the owner had thought of every need. We booked for two nights but could only get in at 4pm on first day and had to be gone by 10 am on final day which is hard on wet wintery days. We would like to go there again but maybe in the summer.
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Little Culver. I will pass on your comments with regards to the little Housekeeping issues. I hope you still had a lovely time at the cottage and we would love to welcome you again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Great house in a fabulous location."
Really well equipped and nice furnishings and soft towels. Super spot for touring. We loved the village pub and coffee shops and the common, Our only disappointment was the garden. We chose a fabulous week weather wise but we never got the sun as the whole garden is shaded by a large tree in the centre. The pigeons sit there and unfortunately the table underneath was covered each day in mess. That said we will come back to this beautiful place, the house is full of charm
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Little Culver. It sounds like you had a wonderful time at the house and thank you for the note about the table, we will look to see if we can do anything about this. We hope to welcome you back again very soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"A simply lovely cottage, beautifully renovated and made extremely comfortable."
We enjoyed 5 days here, the location was good for sightseeing and the little town of Minchinhampton has pretty much everything you need, a decent butcher and a bakery where you can purchase local milk. The house was immaculately clean on arrival and the host even left us a pint of milk and a chocolate cake which was a nice and thoughtful touch. Would highly recommend

"Really enjoyed our stay."
Clean and well equipped. We loved the style of the cottage and the fire place. It would be helpful to have some instructions for house use (turning on heating etc.) Thank you for a lovely stay.
Thank you for your lovely feedback with regards to your stay at Little Culver. It's always wonderful to hear how much guests have enjoyed the stay and i hope you managed to make the most of the lovely walks all around us. I'm sorry you struggled to find the welcome folder, it's normally left on the coffee table and has all the information about the house and area, with lots of things to do and pretty much everything you should need for your stay. We hope to welcome you back again very soon. Character Cottages. Property Owner

"Really lovely property and nice touches (e."
G. welcome cake) that made us feel welcome. Liked the enclosed garden for our dog and the furnishings were attractive whilst also making life with a dog easy (e.g. stone floors downstairs). Lovely and warm and great location - no problems with finding parking spaces. Several friends/families came to see us for tea and cakes and were also very complimentary about how nice the cottage was.
We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Little Culver and all the extra touches! Best wishes, Character Cottages Property Owner

"Thank you for a fantastic stay in your well equipped, delightfully furnished and decorated cottage."
The location was perfect, and the back courtyard was a well cared for, wonderful suntrap. I hope to visit again.

"This is our second stay at Little Culver, a beautiful cottage in the lovely little town of Minchinhampton."
The accommodation is spotlessly clean and well equipped. Tea, coffee and cake provided on arrival! The courtyard garden deserves a special mention, a completely private and very secure space where our pooch was safe to explore and sniff without fear of escape. The only tiny improvement would be a slightly bigger freezer provision. We hope to return again next year.
Thank you for providing us with such lovely feedback on your stay at Little Culver. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay a second time and can't wait to welcome you again next year! Many thanks, Character Cottages. Property Owner

"Little Culver is a lovely little cottage."
The house itself is cosy with a beautiful kitchen and backyard area. We went as a group of 5 friends and it was perfect, cooking in the kitchen as a group and dining outside in the evening. The property comes with lots of games and all the amenities you would need for a stay. The village is beautiful with plenty of cafes and pubs within a few minutes walk, with bigger towns very close by. Accessing the building at the beginning of the trip was super simple and easy. Absolutely loved staying here and would definitely recommend.
Thank you for this lovely review. We're delighted you and your friends enjoyed staying at Little Culver and made the most of the village and surrounding areas. We would love to welcome you again. Property Owner

"This is truly a lovely cottage and I absolutely would recommend it."
It’s spotlessly clean, cosmetically pleasing and very comfortable. This is our second visit here, I will be booking again for a third visit. The only slight negative is the lack of parking facilities but this is more of an minor inconvenience than a problem, you can park a short walk away. Local dog friendly pub (The Crown) is good too. Beautiful holiday spot.
Amazing to hear you had another lovely stay at the cottage. Thank you so much for returning and we very much look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Property Owner

I recommend it unreservedly.

"Perfect location for a nice peaceful break in a small town."
Lovely cottage, beautiful kitchen stocked with everything you could need. Nice bathroom & cosy bedrooms. Definitely go to the chip shed for fish & chips! You will need a car to get around & make sure to check out the nearby town of Nailsworth. Watch out for the cows that roam freely! Had a great time, recommended for sure!

Lovely walled garden too for our children to safely play. The village is just gorgeous and has stunning walks straight from the cottage, which we really enjoyed.

"Amazing cottage located in Minchinhampton."
Local shop owners are very friendly! No on sight parking however there is parking only a minute or 2 away.
-
"Beautiful cottage in idyllic setting."
We loved our walks over the common with the cows and horses roaming freely. The house was full of character and super cosy with a mix of old and modern features! We loved the thoughtful gifts of truffles and cake and overall the house had everything we needed. All in all a great stay!

"First stay after lock-down - and we were welcomed with open arms by the community of Minchinhampton - the tea rooms, butcher, diary, the chip shed and Crown Inn as well as the dog walkers on the wonderful 600 acres of NT Common - really a unique place with great views and laid-back free-range animals."
A wonderful discovery for us.
-
"Had a lovely stay in Little Culver."
All was as advertised - plenty of space for 5 people, very comfortable and stylish. Loved the original features of the house. Thoughtful touches like chocolates and biscuits on arrival were appreciated and the key safe made our arrival stress-free as travelling from London. Would definitely stay again if travelling to the Cotswolds.
-
"Great location, right in the centre of the village."
Had a great stay and would love to go back one day. Sad to have to leave at the end of the holiday.
-
"We had a lovely stay at Little Culver for a long weekend, and the cottage is perfect for a weekend get away."
Lots of stunning, long walks around the common, and a nice log fire to come back and enjoy in the evenings. The garden is lovely for enjoying a cup of tea in the sunshine and we will hopefully be back again soon!
-
"We would really recommend a stay at Little Culvert - the house is lovely, good size, nice outdoor space and really well equipped."
We also loved the local area - fantastic butchers and dairy within 2-3 mins walking distance as well as lots of great places to run, walk and cycle (such as Minchinhampton Common just a five minute walk up the road). We're looking forward to going back to the area in the future.
-
"Lovely property, cute area and thoughtful touches."
A great break from the city with family!
-
"Beautiful place in the Cotswolds."
Very charming, and spacious enough for our family of 5. We would definitely go back.
-
"The perfect pad to explore the Cotswolds, set in a cute little village."
Loved the treats and the garden was so beautiful to sit in and enjoy the rest of the British summer.
-
"A beautiful house In the quiet quintessential English village of Minchinhampton."
We rocked up with 5 people and found there to be plenty of room for everyone. The Garden was well kept and a really chilled out place to hangout in the sunshine. No negative comments here! The one thing I would say is to bring cash with you because many of the local establishments don’t take cards.
-
"Lovely place, deserves a 5 star rating as could not fault it in any way."
Very much appreciated the extra touches. The weather was wet almost the entire week, but the cottage was so comfortable it didn’t matter, it was a luxury just being there. Would love to go back. Will highly recommend.
-
"Wonderful week with family and friends."
A true home away from home and an excellent base for exploring the Cotswolds. Thank you!
-
"Little Culver was perfect for a short break, it was lovely to be able to walk to get everything that we needed as the weather was horrible!"
The cottage is really well equipped, we particularly appreciated that the kitchen equipment is of very good quality which is great if you are keen cooks. The surrounding area is lovely, lots and lots to see and do, but we mostly sat by the fire! Particularly recommend the Jolly Nice farm shop, great produce and also have firewood and food to take away. Keri

"Really wonderful stay I couldn’t recommend it more, amazing house with wonderful decor, all the amenities that you could need and want."
Amazing quality linen, furniture and welcome notes and suggestions to help you feel immediately at home. Well done on the best ‘home away’ that we have ever stayed in! Ps The Kitchen cafe was amazing for breakfast the Irish lady was fab, the butchers also very affordable (cheaper than a supermarket in my eyes). Henry’s was closed but looked lovely. One of the nicest and most original towns of those locally. Glad we stayed here!
-
"Thanks for everything it was an amazing stay."
-
"What a fabulous place to say!"
Minchinhampton is such a gorgeous place with friendly locals and incredible cafe called The Kitchen and lovely walks in the common! I highly recommend and we really loved using the fireplace!
-
"Great place to stay - pretty location though not many attractions in the village itself."
Plenty to do within a short car journey. The cottage is very well stocked, attractive property - we loved the old windows. A slightly later check-out time would be appreciated though!

The property
Little Culver is a stunning and unique Cotswold stone property, built in 1821, forming the right-hand of a beautiful castellated Grade II listed building, Culver Cottage, nestled in Minchinhampton.
The property has been lovingly refurbished internally, whilst retaining its character features, and is a perfect base for a family or group of friends seeking a relaxing break in the stunning Cotswolds.
As you approach the property, you will marvel at the stunning architecture and gothic style windows as you walk through the ornate arched doorway, into the shared lobby, and through the front door of Little Culver, which opens into a beautiful and spacious sitting room adorned with antique maps and artwork, with welcoming seating for you and your loved ones to snuggle into on a cold evening, watching your favourite TV show whilst the warmth from the woodburning stove keeps the room toasty.
Further into the property you will find the stylish and contemporary kitchen/diner that overlooks the back garden and contains everything the budding chef requires to coo up a delicious meal as you all retreat around the large dining table to enjoy your food.
A handy utility room is accessed from the garden and contains a washing machine and tumble dryer, perfect for making use of so you can go home with a bag full of clean washing, as well as a basin and WC.
The enclosed courtyard garden catches the afternoon sun and has inviting seating as well as a chiminea and charcoal barbecue to make use of in summer months.
Heading upstairs, the master bedroom is full of character and has lovely views overlooking the garden containing a double bed, the second and third bedrooms are perfect for children and contain twin beds and a single bed.
Completing the property is a lovely bathroom where you can enjoy a relaxing soak amongst the bubbles in the bath.
At Little Culver, you are situated close to amenities such as The Crown Inn pub as well as a village shop, a post office, an independent butcher, and two well-regarded cafés, Henry’s and The Kitchen, where you can enjoy a delicious breakfast before heading to either of the vibrant market towns of Nailsworth and Stroud where you will find a wide range of things to do including the beautiful Sladebank Woods in Stroud and Woodchester Mansion and Park in Nailsworth.
Little Culver is also well located for visiting the spa town of Bath, where you can take a tour of the famous Roman Baths which are well-preserved thermae, a temple constructed on the site between 60-70AD in the first few decades of Roman Britain – a very educational and interesting day out for all, where you can finish your day with a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants Bath has to offer.
For an unforgettable holiday, stay at Little Culver.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
