About Diston's Cottage

Diston’s Cottage was the home of the Diston family for three generations and now makes the perfect Cotswold country break for two. The pretty, end-of-terrace stone cottage boasts a wood burning stove, enclosed terraced garden and old fashioned stable doors. 

Perfect for a romantic break, enjoy a tipple in the traditional pub located just moments away before heading out for a walk in the countryside. There are a number of fabulous trails on your doorstep, some of which can be found in the grounds of Snowshill Manor and Garden just opposite the cottage. As a guest, you’ll have free access to the estate when it's open. 

Further afield, visit the regency spa town of Cheltenham. Just 18 miles for the cottage, spend the day exploring the town’s boutiques before sitting down to lunch in one of its many wonderful restaurants and cafes. 

There are another three holiday cottages along the street – Spring Cottage (sleeps two), Snowshill Honor's Cottage (sleeps three) and Snowshill Manor Farmhouse (sleeps nine). Multiple cottages can be booked together for a group of up to 16 and all are dog friendly.
