It was a beautiful village with a churchyard full of 200 year old Yews. I was surprised there were very few shops such as cafes, delis etc. There are a couple of pubs and the Falcon has really good food although on the pricey side. There was a 'pooch' cafe that was closed and a village hall cafe (again closed). The Rococo Garden is worth a visit and this was used as an overnight stay on our retuen from Cornwall. I would probably choose a livelier village next time.

Painswick is idyllic with stunning views. You are very close to other places like Rococo Gardens, Tetbury, Bilbury and Stroud Town Centre. We found the people very friendly and places we visited absolutely gorgeous, just like a picture postcard. Definitely worth visiting!

Painswick is a very small town, and so it is not fair to expect the kind of amenities and facilities that exist as a norm in large towns and cities. There are a few places to eat - we ate at both The Falcon and St Michael's Bistro. But my main reasons for choosing to stay at Painswick were, one: simply because I had never been there before and I wanted to have a look at it, and two: because it was a good base from which I could take my son to zoos and animal centres in the area.

Beautiful small quirky, quiet, historic village. Use the main village car park as village streets very narrow and parking very limited. Be aware of high demand for restaurant/eating out options in village, but there are further options if willing to drive. Pretty countryside location, great for exploring Cotswold villages and towns.

We have been to Painswick before, and it is a lovely little quaint village with some lovely buildings, that is why we went back. The Bistro that we stayed in was unfortunately empty, obviously due to COVID. We did have a continental breakfast which was good. We also ended up eating in a local pub around the corner in the evenings and the food and staff were lovely.

Beautiful place but recent closures of pubs and places to eat has left it under-served for tourists. One pub was busy and one cafe too though we managed to get in at both. Rococo garden was worth the visit. Tourist Info seemed to be permanently closed. Probably all due to Covid - hope they get back on their feet soon.
