Where is your favourite pub or restaurant ?
Couldn’t pin you down to one – I would say I adore The Weighbridge between Avening and Nailsworth for it’s famous 2-in-1 pies (half steak and mushroom and half cauliflower cheese with the best pastry top ever!!) I worked there as a teenager when it was the pub to go to- we all used to pile down there and be teenage drunk and disorderly and at Christmas you’d come back from Uni for Xmas break and wouldn’t be able to move in there it was so packed!! Now it’s a bit more of a restaurant -people travel from far and wide for a 2 in 1 but I still have a fierce loyalty to it as do most 40-60 year olds who grew up around the area I’d say.
You can’t beat The Old Lodge or The Black Horse on Minch Common – very different – Lodge is more upmarket and black horse more of a traditional pub – but the views and sun set from the latter you can’t beat and being up on the common is very special – I spent yesterday at both with a walk in between!
Restaurants in Stroud – I love The Corner House – great food and cocktails – no view but you can kid yourself you’re in Bristol or London -nice atmosphere. And if you want friendly, great food with kids – the Italian Sorrentos every time!!
What do you love about the area?
I like the fact Stroud is a very individual and independent town. Very eclectic really – everybody muddles along together – it’s very arty – mother earth spiritual types all mixed in with your horsey high society set and your common as muck plebs!!- I don’t think you can write it quite like that but do you get my meaning?!! – anybody goes – North Cotswolds I think can be a bit snooty – not Stroud it welcomes one and all!!
Where is the best place to relax in the area?
Well the common in Minch, Selsley or Rodborough on a sunny day or for a walk and a drink ( see question 1) Rococco Gardens in Painswick, Woodchester Mansion for walks. Nailsworth for a meander around the shops and for coffee and lunch
What do you think is the best view in the area?
From my garden in Selsley West!!! – can’t beat it – tiny cottage but with best view and having worked as an estate agent for 16 years now- haven’t and wouldn’t move as a result!! But there are amazing views in every direction!
How would you spend a ‘perfect day’ in the area?
All of the above – walking, stopping and drinking in pubs whilst eating and taking in the views – and then perhaps treat myself to an outfit in Honey Trap and a mooch in Tonic, Domestic Science and Woodcock & Cavendish- perhaps finished off with a 2-in-1 Pie!!!!!!

Perry Bishop is the only Estate Agent I would consider using, they have sold me 4 properties in the past and I can’t fault them…
Alison R – May 2026
We have had a very good experience with Perry Bishop during the whole rental process. Paula was especially helpful sorting out a few issues in a calm and reassuring manor. I can recommend Perry Bishop Stroud.
Ben W
A big thank you to all the team at Perry Bishop Faringdon for helping us secure our beautiful village property, and to Michelle for helping us navigate the purchase without any stress.
Dawn P – May 2026
I found Perry bishop Stroud to be very kind helpful and professional. They also brought me up to date with the new tenancy rules coming in soon which was really helpful. They found new tenants for the property, they did several viewings, gave me lots of information about applicants and gave me the time to consider them without putting any pressure on me. Very much appreciated.
Dee
I’m currently finalising a purchase through Perry Bishop. The whole process from initial viewing to completion has been excellent. A special mention goes to Jade, who as Sales Progressor has guided me every step of the way and persistently chased down outstanding items when delays have occurred. Thank you!
Gary G
Perry Bishop have been uniformly excellent in arranging the sale of my property. All the staff (Gavin Wallace, Neil Buck, Ben Metrovich and Sam Smith) were very helpful in what turned out to be a prolonged process. Sam Smith was particularly helpful and encouraging during the final stages.
John S – May 2026
We recently purchased a property in the Cotswolds and received excellent service throughout the process. A special mention to Jade Allen from the Cirencester office, who was incredibly helpful, always keeping us informed of any developments and was very efficient with any questions we had for the vendors.
Kate H
Couldn’t rate Perry Bishop more highly. They were great, giving us a good valuation, doing everything quickly to help our timescales and communicating with us every step of the way. Thanks Neil, Sam and the rest of the team, we’re so grateful!
Maddie B – May 2026
The experience has been very good, easy to communicate with and a responsible. Thankyou.
Martin R – May 2026
I was very impressed with the service provided by Perry Bishop’s Cheltenham office when selling my property recently. From the very beginning I had every confidence in Ben, Sam and the team, that they were doing their best for me, from valuation through to marketing and finally getting the sale through satisfactorily. It wasn’t the most straightforward sale but they provided good advice and support and kept me informed of any developments in a timely manner. I would thoroughly recommend them.
Matt C – May 2026
It was a pleasure to deal with Sian who helped me with an appraisal.
Owen C
From start to finish Perry Bishop were brilliant, would have no problem recommending them to anyone.
Peter N – May 2026
Excellent communication from Perry Bishop throughout. My property sold very quickly. The house I purchased was one of their suggested viewings and it was perfect for me. The whole team are very friendly, organised and helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!
Sarah L – May 2026
Very Friendly and felt confident they were working in my interests. Prompt updating via phone and email.
