The Location
Brimscombe
Toadsmoor House sits at the mouth of the Toadsmoor Valley in Brimscombe, one of the chain of villages threading the Golden Valley between Stroud and Chalford. This is the quieter, steeper, more wooded side of the Cotswolds; five distinct valleys of beech woods, mill ponds and canal towpaths, a world away from the busier honeypot villages further north.
Thames & Severn Canal towpath, flat, pram- and dog-friendly walking from Brimscombe along the restored canal towards Stroud in one direction and Chalford’s lock flights in the other.
Food & Beverage:
The Ship Inn, Brimscombe, a much-loved village pub minutes from the house, serving local beers and hearty food, with a weekly changing set menu. The natural first-night option.
Stroud Brewery Taproom, the canalside taproom of Stroud’s celebrated organic brewery is in Brimscombe itself, with craft beers, wood-fired pizzas, sharing plates and regular live music.
The Burleigh at Burleigh Court, a two-AA-rosette restaurant in a Grade II listed manor on the hillside above Brimscombe, with panoramic views across the Five Valleys, seasonal kitchen-garden cooking and wood-fired terrace dining in summer. The smart choice for a celebration dinner.
Stroud (10 minutes):
Stroud is one of the most distinctive market towns in the Cotswolds, independent, creative and fiercely local. Its award-winning farmers’ market (Saturday mornings) is widely regarded as one of the best in Britain and is unmissable if your stay includes a Saturday. The town is full of independent cafes, delis, galleries and pubs.
Walks and countryside:
Toadsmoor Valley, straight from the door: a secluded wooded combe with a stream and old mill ponds, climbing towards the hilltop village of Bisley.
Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons (National Trust) — hundreds of acres of open limestone grassland above the valleys, grazed by free-roaming cattle, with enormous views. Winstones ice cream, made on the common, is obligatory.
The Slad Valley, Laurie Lee’s Cider with Rosie country, just the other side of Stroud, with a pilgrimage pint at The Woolpack in Slad.
Cotswold Way, the national trail passes along the escarpment west of Stroud for bigger days out.
Days out (all within 30–45 minutes):
Westonbirt, The National Arboretum, spectacular in autumn especially.
Cirencester, the “Capital of the Cotswolds”, with Roman history, the Corinium Museum and excellent shopping.
Painswick, the “Queen of the Cotswolds” and its Rococo Garden.
Gloucester (cathedral and docks),
Cheltenham (Regency architecture, racing, festivals),
Bath are all comfortable day trips.
