Stay in Snowshill Manor Farmhouse, a quintessential Cotswold cottage with plenty of rustic charm. It’s a large five-bedroom house, but each room feels exceptionally cosy with its exposed beams and low ceilings. Once the home of a farm manager, the cottage retains much of its original character with antique furnishings and an open fire.
Pack your walking boots, as this is a real walker’s retreat. The cottage sits opposite Snowshill Manor and Garden where you can pick up walking information from the shop. Near by you can loop onto the Cotswold Way long distance footpath for walks into the wider countryside.
Further afield, visit Stratford upon Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare and just 18 miles from the cottage. Bicester Village, famous for its designer shops is another fabulous place to visit and just 35 miles from Snowshill Manor Farmhouse.
