A stunning valley setting in the picturesque Cotswold village of Amberley, within walking distance of Woodchester Valley Vineyard.
Amberford House Heart of England
A COOL PLACE TO STAY WITH AMAZING VIEWS
This cool country residence is furnished with every modern convenience and comfort you could wish for. The year-round heated infinity-style pool leads the field of standout features, and, to add to the appeal, there are breathtaking Cotswold views from almost every room.
If you demand quality - and of course you do – Amberford House delivers it. The kitchen is a chef's dream with Elica, Miele, Sub Zero and Wolf appliances. And the open plan dining setup guarantees an audience for the chef’s culinary theatre!
Stay toasty with the underfloor heating and have music wherever you go, with the Sonos sound system. When you’re not working out in the mini gym, playing pool, or sinking into the wraparound sofa in front of the huge TV and cosy log burner, hang out in Winstons bar, drinking cocktails. Complete with piano and doors to the patio, it's ultimate room for fun.
Out on the terrace, the pool is heated all year round and has some of the best views of any swimming pool in the country. After a swim, throw a few steaks on the barbecue and watch the sun set over the valley.
Perfect for an intimate gathering of up to 12 guests, Amberford House has five immaculate double bedrooms (one which can be split into twin beds) in the main house with another as part of the self-contained condo in the coach house. Whichever bedroom you choose, you wake up each day to amazing views.
Surrounded by the beauty of the Cotswolds, Amberford House is secluded and secure but it’s not isolated. There are many walks from your doorstep and the house is also within walking distance some great dining pubs.
