Westley Farm Cotswolds Hill Farm
Choose a self-catering holiday cottage on a quiet old-fashioned
Cotswold hill farm near Chalford in Gloucestershire. The Cotswolds are classified as "an area of outstanding
natural beauty" and offer a rich tapestry of green rolling hills
studded with picture-postcard villages.
Westley Farm is an 80 acre hill farm where wild woods, banks
of cowslips and orchids are rated of equal importance to the raising
of cattle and sheep. Our traditional stone
cottages are spread over the farm and have rural views as good as any in
England. You can just hear the distant bells of Oakridge church and see
the houses peep out of the canopy of trees on the other side of the
valley. The
unique village of Chalford is a mile away with its jumble of mellow
cottages scattered down the hillside entwined with tortuous lanes and
donkey tracks. Cirencester and Stroud are fifteen minutes drive while
Gloucester, Cheltenham, Bristol and Bath can be reached within an
hour.
The farm is bounded by an old canal built in 1785 and is the
starting point for many varied local walks. Each cottage has a log fire
and access to telephone and washing machine. Dogs are welcome.There are a surprising number of local pubs and restaurants with
menus ranging from 'cordon bleu' to 'bangers & mash'.
For many
years badgers have come every evening to two of the cottages and expect to
be fed.
