We love The Bell, a little further than most of my suggestions at 6 miles away but a characterful Cotswolds stone pub with atmosphere and good food.

Great pub restaurant especially for light supper. We like it here but prefer to eat at the random tables in the bar area. Log fire in winter and pleasant to sit out the front despite being on the busy Bath Rd.

With the narrow streets leading to the cathedral , this is a great place for choral song, concerts as part of the countys music festivals. But you may recognise main scenes from Harry Potter and Hogwarts in the "great dining room" and the cloisters. JK Rowling spent early years living in Dursley, a few miles away hence the Dursleys was the name for the family where Harry Potter grew up.

An early Victorian Mansion which was never completed. It is a great area for walking around its 3 lakes but as the parking is approx 1/2 mile from the house it is more of a walkers destination. Much of the netflix series the Crown was filmed here. It is also a wedding destination, a great place hired out for parties and a destination for a nights ghost hunting.

Lovely gardens and tea shop on the outskirts of Painswick, famous for the great expanse of snowdrops in January. The gardens are not that large but pretty for a walk around and popular for smaller weddings.

Stunning views from the common looking over to the River Severn meandering in the distance. Part of the AONB. The sunsets are amazing. We suggest watch the sunset on the balcony at Hillcrest Cottage and then drive up to the common and watch the sunset all over again...
