    “A brilliant venue for our large family gathering to celebrate Mum's 70th.”

    The beds were blissfully comfortable, bathrooms and en-suites plentiful with lashings of hot water, dining room perfect for 22 of us to sit down to eat together, kitchen facilities wonderful with Aga and two ovens, games room a bit hit with all ages especially the younger members of our party, huge lounge good for playing party games and the snug was just that - very warm and cosy with the log burner (especially needed as we were there the weekend of Storm Darragh!). Everything you could ...

    The beds were blissfully comfortable, bathrooms and en-suites plentiful with lashings of hot water, dining room perfect for 22 of us to sit down to eat together, kitchen facilities wonderful with Aga and two ovens, games room a bit hit with all ages especially the younger members of our party, huge lounge good for playing party games and the snug was just that - very warm and cosy with the log burner (especially needed as we were there the weekend of Storm Darragh!). Everything you could possibly need was provided, including an incredible welcome hamper of locally-sourced goodies. The entrance is on a steep incline, directly off the main road and quite difficult to spot so we hung some Christmas lights and balloons on the sign outside, which meant that guests arriving in the dark could easily spot it. (We had taken heed of previous reviewers and advised people approaching the property from the north to continue down the hill and turn back up again, so they were not trying to cross lines of traffic.) Thank you for a perfect stay!

The property

There's plenty of room for up to 22 guests at the spacious South Hill Farmhouse (22), which is a holiday home listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The property, which was formerly a farmhouse in the area, now features 11 bedrooms and several bathrooms, making it an ideal spot for large families or groups visiting the Cotswolds.

The owners have thought of everything to make your stay here memorable and fun, including a spacious living area, a separate games room, and a huge dining room.

The home is just paces away from the centre of Stow on the Wold's bustling market district and is situated on the Fosse Way (the infamous main road between Cirencester and Stow).

The huge vacation home is made more appealing by the use of high-quality materials throughout.

Farrow and Ball paint, Robert Welch cutlery, and Denby dinnerware are just a few examples.

Highly recommended for any celebration you want to remember forever.

(Please note that the description concludes with information on optional farmstead activities.)

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.

About the location

STOW-ON-THE-WOLD

Bourton-on-the-Water 4 miles; Stratford upon Avon 15 miles.

The highest town in the Cotswolds, Stow-on-the-Wold, originally an Iron Age Fort, epitomises olde worlde England. This ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly Farmers' market. The vast market square boasts an ancient cross at one end and the village stocks at the other, surrounded by an elegant array of Cotswold stone townhouses, antique shops, tea rooms, traditional pubs, award-winning restaurants and its very own cricket museum. Many walks and cycle rides through the beautiful rolling countryside of the Cotswolds can be enjoyed from the centre of Stow, with the Macmillan Way, Heart of England Way, Gloucestershire and Monarch's Way all running close to the town. Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' as the River Windrush runs through the centre, lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is one of the most popular Cotswold villages. The Saxon market town of Moreton-in-Marsh and the quintessential English village of Broadway are all within easy reach and make a great day out. Cheltenham (20 miles away) is, architecturally, the most complete regency town in England. A spa town with an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, it is famous for its horse-racing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. At other times of year, it is host to literature, jazz, classical music, science and food and drink festivals. Oxford, the oldest university city in England and sometimes called 'The City of Dreaming Spires’ has an abundance of prestigious attractions, including the 38 colleges of the university (half of which date back before 1600), the oldest university teaching room, the Bodleian Library, Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums, and Botanic Gardens. Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Worcester and the waterfront city of Gloucester are also within easy reach, making Stow-on-the-Wold an ideal base.
