Hornstone Cottage - Self-catering in Gloucestershire
Westley Farm Cottages
Chalford, , GL6 8HP, Gloucestershire
England,
Regno Unito
This former stable made of Cotswold stone stands alone at the head of the Golden Valley and has spectacular views out over fields and ancient woodland. Dan and Ali live in the main farmhouse; you can buy eggs if the hens are laying too.
The sitting room is cosy with an open fire (logs provided), and there are books, games and a folder full of useful things to know. Cook together in the well-equipped kitchen and eat around the table, or grill your supper on the barbecue while you watch the sun go down.
Fantastic walks lead from the door – the farm itself is 70 acres – and many pass local pubs; the nearest is The Crown Inn in Frampton Mansell, 15 minutes’ walk away. Take the canal towpath to Stroud for shops, restaurants, and an excellent farmers’ market on Saturdays – if you buy too much to carry you can get a taxi back.

Local points of interest from Dan Glaister & Ali Kayley:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Dan Glaister & Ali Kayley:
- Saddle up... Get on your horse, bareback or on a saddle. The owners can take novices and more experienced riders on a trek through the woods on their three steady ponies, Sailor, Carrot and Rolo. You might even get as far as the pub. Please book ahead.
- Local flavours… Stroud, just 4 miles from the farm, boasts the nation’s premier farmers’ market, as well as a vibrant cultural scene, bars, a cinema and the truly fab Stroud Brewery, organic, local and serving pizza and music at weekends.
- Take a hike… the farm is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, and there are several walks that start and finish on the property – many of them passing one of the many wonderful traditional Cotswold pubs.
- Swing a club… the neighbouring Minchinhampton Common, a remarkable hilltop site with Iron Age and Bronze Age features as well as roaming cattle, is also home to one of the wildest golf courses this side of Scotland. A uniquely challenging experience.
- Take a dip… indulge your inner adventurer at the Cotswold Water Park, offering an enormous array of activities, from wakeboarding to angling.
- Past pleasures… history comes alive at Berkeley Castle, where you can peek at the room where Edward II was reputedly murdered, or marvel at the sumptuous setting of Sudeley Castle, where Katherine Parr, Henry VIII's last wife, is buried.
