Bisley is a very tranquil and relaxing Gloucestershire village, with no night-time street lighting, and it makes a great base from which to explore this part of The Cotswolds.
For more on Bisley itself, see this page.
But there is much more nearby.
Cheltenham - for the Gold Cup, the Literature/Jazz/Music/Science Festivals, or myriad other reasons - is only twenty minutes away.
Cirencester, a beautiful market town of Roman origin, known as ‘The Capital of the Cotswolds', is a similar distance (and has a magnificent parish church).
Stroud is five miles away and has a famous farmers' market every Saturday.
There are many less well-known but equally beautiful towns and villages in a fifteen-mile radius - many of them with excellent pubs and restaurants.
(Painswick, ‘The Queen of the Cotswolds', and Slad, home of Laurie Lee, are two particular favourites and are each about ten minutes away.)
If you live in Bisley and would like us to mention your rental property here - free of charge - please just email us.
The Bear Inn
Once the village courthouse, various highwaymen and other ne'er-do-wells were sentenced to death there in the 1600s; these days it's a more sedate place to enjoy a pint or a glass of wine with your dinner before repairing to bed in one of the two letting rooms.
Booking ahead advised - they're taking bookings for 2026 at the moment.
