There is a well stocked village shop a few minutes walk from the property, as well as a chemist and even a popular fabric shop.

One of the many attractions to the area is the excellent choice of schools, with grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham, as well as many popular schools in the private sector.
