Out and about
Perched on the edge of beautiful Minchinhampton Common, with its views across the valley to nearby Rodborough Common, the Severn and even the Mendips and Black Mountains, Amberley Bakery holiday cottages are the perfect get-away from-it-all home from home.
Amberley is a typical Cotswold hilltop village with a thriving local pub, the Black Horse, an hotel – the Amberley Inn, and a friendly village shop/post office. Young children will enjoy the playground hidden behind the church.
The pub and hotel both serve good food and there are no less than 3 further pubs serving food within easy walking distance – no need to get the car out if you don’t want to.
Less than a mile away is Winstones ice cream shop, where you can buy award winning traditional Cotswold ice cream, made locally since 1925.
Lots of picturesque Cotswold villages with many gardens and houses open to the public are within easy reach. Woodchester Mansion is a hidden gem in a secluded 400-acre park in the valley below. An architectural masterpiece of the Victorian age abandoned by its builders before completion, it has been virtually untouched by time since the mid 1870s.
Excellent food and craft shopping in nearby Nailsworth, with lots of independent shops, or visit ‘green’ Stroud and ‘Roman’ Cirencester, Cheltenham and Bath.
