Whether it is
the idyllic Cotswold countryside, the charm of regency Cheltenham
or another attraction that brings you to Gloucestershire, Pardon
Hill Farm is the perfect place to stay, nestling in 300 acres of
peaceful grassland, corn and woodland. Here we raise cattle and
sheep, as our family has for the past 100 years. We also have the
usual farm menagerie of cats, dogs, horses, ponies and hens (to
lay eggs for your breakfast).
The house is
made of slate and Cotswold stone with all modern internal comforts.
All three bedrooms are en suite and with hospitality trays, televisions,
and views from every window. A wide choice of breakfast is served
in the conservatory adjacent to the lawns, patio and hill. A short
walk up the hill behind the farm will give a first class opportunity
to see the surrounding area of outstanding natural beauty.
Once you leave
the farm there are a wealth of places to visit and things to do.
In the village of Gotherington (only a mile away) there is the local
shop for your convenience while riding stables and the local pub
are there at your leisure. Cleeve Hill (a short walk over our hill
or ten minute drive round) is the highest in the Cotswolds and allows
breathtaking views of the countryside from Cheltenham, to Tewkesbury
and beyond. Here you can play golf or simply enjoy the invigorating
air and walks. To the east is the ancient Saxon town of Winchcombe,
with its sleepy winding backstreets and welcoming coffee and antique
shops, restaurants and inns. Whilst in Winchcombe you must also
visit Sudeley Castle, once home to Catharine Parr, wife of Henry
VIII.
A little further
afield are other well-known villages such as Broadway. Bourton-on-the-Water.
Stow-on-the-Wold and the Slaughters, all within thirty minutes drive.
To the south-west is the historic town of Cheltenham Spa boasting
its numerous festivals, exquisite gardens, tree-lined Promenade,
and fashionable shopping arcades. It is the perfect place to lose
oneself for the day and of course the famous National Hunt racecourse
provides more than enough excitement for anyone.
Slightly further
afield (but still less than an hour away) are very memorable day-outs
such as the Gloucester Docks, Hidcote Gardens. Wye Valley, Forest
of Dean, Malvern Hills. Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon Pardon Hill
Farm is a five miles, from Cheltenham, and three miles from Winchcombe.
We are also only six miles from Junction 9 of the M5 and less than
an hour from Oxford and Worcester. So whatever brings you here,
we hope that your stay will be a very enjoyable and memorable one.
