The Snowshill Hill Estate Bed and Breakfast is a comfortable,
self-contained, independent dwelling which has been thoughtfully
converted and furnished to the highest standards of quality, taste
and style.
The Estate is within an area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the accommodation offers the ideal
base from where to cycle, walk or tour the Cotswolds and its many
beautiful villages. Close by is the "Snowshill Lavender
Walk" where you can visit the distillery and see the essential
oils gently extracted with rainwater. The Lavender fields are in
bloom mid. June to mid. July. There are also some lovely Woodland
Walks in the vicinity.
The Estate is 2 miles from the village of Snowshill where there is a
lovely country pub and a pretty village church which was featured in
the recent film "Bridget Jones' Diary".
This is a place rich in history; it was noted in the Tithe Book of
1644 that there were 360 sheep "sett upon Snowshill Hill"
and it was said to be "a large common Hill", at the time
forming part of the local Snowshill Manor Estate. The slate quarries
were mentioned in the Indenture for Snowshill Manor in 1638.
The double bedrooms and the twin bedrooms all have en-suite toilet
and shower, tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryers, alarm
clock radios and colour televisions as standard, plus many
thoughtful extras.
The breakfast room/sitting room overlooks the main farm yard, has a
woodburner and colour television/video recorder/DVD player, and is
for the sole use of guests throughout their stay. Breakfast is home
cooked and where possible use is made of Cotswold produce and
suppliers. There is a patio with garden furniture for guests use.
Lambing taking place on the Estate between the months of February -
April.
