Five places are listed in Painswick, and they are not alike. Three are small, with one bedroom each and room for two, three or four guests. Two are large houses, one with 4 bedrooms and one with 10. The usual night across all five sits well above that, pulled up by the group houses. Average capacity is around 9 guests, which says more about the two big houses than about a typical stay. Pick by group size first, then by budget.

Painswick sits in the Cotswolds above Stroud, and the stays here split into two clear groups. Small cabins for two to four people sit at the cheaper end, and several of them accept dogs. At the other end are large houses for groups, sleeping 10 or as many as 24, with hot tubs, a sauna and log burners.
The choice is small, so it helps to know what you are comparing. A night in a small cabin is usually far cheaper than a night in a big group house, and the gap is wide. Guests rate the places around 9.0 out of 10. About 60% of them take pets, 40% have a hot tub and 40% have a log burner. If you are a couple or a small family, the smaller cabins are the ones to look at. If you are organising a gathering for a big group, the larger houses are where the hot tubs and saunas are found.
A garden is the most common feature, found at four of the five places. High chairs are listed at three, which helps if you travel with a baby or toddler. Hot tubs, log burners and BBQs each appear at two places, and these are mostly the larger houses. Only one place has a sauna, and it is the biggest. One small cabin offers fishing. Places with a hot tub are much dearer than those without, so if a hot tub matters, expect to be looking at group-sized houses rather than a couple's cabin. For a smaller budget, a garden and a pet-friendly policy are easier to find.
| Feature | Places | Share | Usual night |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden | 4 | 80% | £837 |
| High chair | 3 | 60% | £170 |
| Hot tub | 2 | 40% | £1,838 |
| Log burner / fireplace | 2 | 40% | £1,838 |

Prices stay in a fairly narrow band through the winter and spring. November is the cheapest month listed, and it is also the month with the fewest free dates, so bookings are already coming in. December is the dearest, which fits the Christmas and New Year trade. January and February are cheaper again and have the most free dates, which gives you the widest choice. March and April rise a little, though they stay below December. If you want a low price and a free weekend, January and February are the easiest months to book.

If Painswick has nothing free, the nearby areas are worth a look. Stroud is the closest, with the same number of places and a slightly lower starting price. Gloucester and Cheltenham each have more places, and Gloucester has the lowest starting price of the group. Longhope is also cheap at the entry level, though it has only five places. Awre is the dearest to start from. The wider Gloucestershire page has the most variety, with 20 places, so it suits you if dates or group size are tight.
The small one-bedroom cabins suit couples, as they sleep two to four people. Some accept dogs. They are usually much cheaper than the large group houses.
One of the five places has a sauna, and it is the largest, sleeping 24. It also has a hot tub and a log burner. It is the dearest place in the area.
A week in winter usually costs less than a week outside winter. December is the exception, as it is the dearest month listed. January and February are cheaper and have plenty of free dates.
Three of the five places have a high chair, and four have a garden. Most also accept pets, so a family with a dog has some choice.
