Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Dating back 300 years, this historic home has plenty of character and all the comforts you could need for a refreshing rural retreat. The rooms are set across the main house and an independent annexe – making this a great option for groups looking to stretch out and socialise. There is a beautiful orangery and an infrared sauna, while the garden is perfect playground for lazy summer afternoons. At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the snug, but this is ideal for kids. And for explorations further afield, follow hiking trails straight from the door or take the short drive to Cheltenham, Winchcombe or Broadway.
