Location
Nestled in a picturesque North Cotswolds village, just a couple of miles from the charming, honey-coloured stone market town of Stow-on the-Wold.
Stowmeadow Farm Heart of England
A Cotswold gem in a seven-acre garden with pool
In this 19th century farmhouse complex for up to 20 guests, you can spread yourselves out across four delightful living spaces. Deep in the Cotswolds, with seven acres of gardens and orchards, plus an outdoor pool, Stowmeadow Farm consists of a main farmhouse, a cottage, a converted stone barn and a converted Dutch barn.
Across the properties, characterful beams meet Crittall windows; rustic wood furnishings complement mellow stonework; and country kitchens incorporate Aga, Miele and Smeg appliances. Log burners and open fireplaces create a cosy ambience, while the Sonos sound system reminds you that your 21st century essentials are here too. Your accommodation is spread across the farmhouse, cottage and stone barn, in luxury ensuite king and super king bedrooms, some of which can be turned into twin rooms.
The stunning Dutch barn is your entertainment space, where the well-equipped kitchen and a huge dining table make for memorable meals. There’s a lounge area where you can gather for drinks, and a steam room, cinema room and gym to add to the fun. Throw open the doors to the outdoor swimming pool, one of the most luxuriously British you will encounter, designed as an infinity pool against the backdrop of orchard views.
Outdoor life is well catered for, with patios and terraces, a large Big Green Egg and gas barbecue at the Dutch barn and three further barbecues at the other properties. Make time too, for a game of tennis or football on the AstroTurf court.
Stowmeadow Farm is surrounded by pretty Cotswold villages for pub lunches, fine dining and afternoon teas, and the Daylesford farm shop is close by too. All in all, it’s perfect for a family or friends’ holiday.
