Priding itself on an 'alternative' reputation and a home for a myriad of artists and radicals, there is plenty to do in and around the area of this old market town.
Visit Stroud
Located at the centre of five river valleys, Stroud is an undiscovered original gem. Unconventional and authentic it's a memorable place to visit... - definitely for those with alternative outlook to their stay.
​
Did you know......
Stroud was voted the best place to live in the UK by the Sunday Times. It has been referred to by Jasper Conran as "the Covent Garden of the Cotswolds" and the London Evening Standard has described it as "Notting Hill with wellies". We would argue that its more like Camden or Hackney Wick with its alternative bohemian arts scene.
​
For guests visiting the area, please check out TrainLine for help with planning your stay.
....plus SO much more! Stroud is ideal for couples, dog owners, workshop attendees, performers, families, hikers, artists and all of those seeking a gentle introduction to a small but vibrant regional town. With easy access from London, it's a good choice for those looking to escape the city. We are also on hand to provide local info both practically, culturally or sub-culturally on the area and help you with your trip itinerary.
Stroud Subscription Rooms
Visit the wonderfully eclectic venue "The Sub Rooms" for a hugely innovative programme of music, dance, theatre, visual arts, spoken word, exhibitions and workshops. Built by public subscription the Subs lies at the heart of town both physically and culturally.
Your Hosts
The Team at the Maverick Lodger
Abi, Berkeley and Gertie- the Basset and Basset Puppy are your resident hosts at The Hidden House - here to provide a ‘tea and cake’ or gravy biscuit welcome for guests, whilst respecting social distancing, and helping with information and ideas about the area to make your stay as fulfilling as possible. Abi is an ex Arts Event Manager for a major arts centre in London, is a member of the Stroud Tourist Forum and is heavily involved in the arts scene through Trustee work in Stroud. Besides her love of gardening, cooking, interiors & upcycling, Abi likes to throw herself down the mountains on skis. She is a qualified ski instructor. Berkeley is not. He is a mellow, cuddly full of character dog who loves walks, other dogs, mince beef and belly rubs.
