The 99 Yew Trees

Painswick, Cotswolds

The honey-coloured stone cottages, wisteria-draped doorways, and rolling green hills of Painswick make it one of the most picturesque spots in the Cotswolds – so much so that it’s often called the “Queen of the Cotswolds”. Right in the heart of this town, we’ve found a 16th-century dog-friendly cottage for your next Cotswolds holiday.

About The 99 Yew Trees

3 bedrooms, 3 beds, Sleeps 6
2 bathrooms

With honey-stone buildings, wisteria-framed doorways, and misty green hills, Painswick is about as charming as the Cotswolds gets. Known as the “Queen of the Cotswolds,” this picturesque town is home to a beautiful dog-friendly retreat: a 16th-century cottage, right across from the legendary 99 Yew Trees Church (yes, you guessed it—there are 99!).

Step inside, and you’ll feel like a modern-day monarch, surrounded by exposed stone walls, royal purple sofas, and heavy wooden beams. The second living room even includes an honesty bar with a thoughtfully curated selection of spirits – any donations go directly to Emmaus, a local charity supporting those experiencing homelessness.

Outside, the private courtyard garden offers a sunny escape, with lush, manicured trees and shrubs, a nod to Hampton Court. For a truly royal dog-friendly holiday in the Cotswolds, this cottage provides the perfect retreat for you and your pooch(s).

Wandering through its narrow streets, lined with ancient honey-coloured stone buildings, feels like stepping back in time. At the heart of the village stands the famous parish church, framed by its iconic 99 yew trees and distinctive table tombs, giving the village an almost timeless quality.

Set among the Cotswolds’ rolling hills and lush valleys, Painswick draws artists, walkers, and history enthusiasts with its unique character. The Rococo Garden, a rare 18th-century treasure, offers a lively display of vibrant plantings, structures, and intricate landscaping, creating a stunning display in every season. 

With art galleries, quintessentially British independent shops, and welcoming inns, Painswick invites visitors to wander and take in its tranquil beauty, rich history, and the welcoming warmth of the Cotswolds.
