Welcome to Pond Cottage

Characterful Accommodation in the Berkeley Vale

Pond Cottage has been the home of the Fussell family for over 30 years. Originally 19th-century farm buildings, it was sympathetically rebuilt and restored in 2023, retaining its rustic character while providing comfortable accommodation. Set within three acres of private gardens, Pond Cottage sits beside a natural pond framed by mature oaks, with an English country garden, wild meadows, and an old orchard for guests to enjoy.

The location is ideal for exploring local attractions such as Berkeley Castle, the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust at Slimbridge, and the unusual Purton Ships Graveyard on the River Severn. Nestled in the foothills of the Cotswold Escarpment, it also provides easy access to the limestone villages and rolling countryside of the south Cotswolds, and the cities of Bath, Cheltenham, Gloucester, and Bristol.

A place to relax, enjoy the gardens, and explore the countryside at your own pace.

One of the loveliest ‘Open Gardens’ we have visited … the garden has a lovely welcoming feeling of space. The climbing roses are sensational. A real delight to be able to wander here.

A real treat to be able to visit your idyllic garden and see what a beautiful ‘development’ of a rural property you have created.
