Location

Suomi sits in a glorious elevated setting, high up on the side of Cooper's Hill, surrounded by farmland on three sides and with a backdrop of beech woods. It occupies the site of an old bungalow and is set below the main road (so not readily apparent) and upon entering its gates, the panoramic views are immediately breathtaking. This location offers an easy commute to Gloucester and Cheltenham, with its shopping and popular schools, while Painswick is close for local facilities and challenging golf course and there are a lovely walks in the immediate vicinity. Road and rail links are also excellent - M5 motorway for Bristol or the Midlands and main train stations at Gloucester or Cheltenham. The latter offers an exceptional range of Festivals throughout the year (including music, literature and science) as well as the famous National Hunt Race Course, with Premier division rugby on offer at Gloucester. The real essence of Suomi however, is the opportunity to remain at home and whatever the season or the weather sit back and enjoy the constantly changing views, that are on offer.
