Nailsworth 3.6 miles
The Creamery is a historic Grade II listed property which sleeps four guests, in two stylish bedrooms, with three bathrooms.
Dating back to the 17th century, this wonderful home away from home sits within the grounds of a former working farm and retains a traditional façade and a wealth of character features.
Original Cotswold flagstone flooring, exposed beams and exposed stone walls have been beautifully complemented by contemporary interiors and modern facilities, such as high-speed wireless internet access, a Smart TV and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.
The enclosed garden enjoys scenic views, and off-street parking for two cars is available.
The Creamery is situated in peaceful Nympsfield, an unspoilt village.
Just a short walk from the village is Woodchester Park, a National Trust owned wooded valley with a play trail, walking trails and an impressive Grade I listed Victorian mansion.
Surrounded by stunning countryside, there are many walks and cycle routes on its doorstep including the famed Cotswold Way long distance walking trail which passes to the west of the village and takes in the viewpoint at Coaley Peak and the Neolithic burial mound of Uley Long Barrow.
Nympsfield is well-placed for visiting the many historical towns of the region including Nailsworth, Stroud, Tetbury, Painswick and Cirencester, all home to a number of independent shops, cafe's and restaurants.
Stroud hosts the multi award-winning Farmers’ Market every Saturday, the Five Valleys artisan market, and was voted as the best place to live by The Sunday Times in 2021 due to its independent spirit, vibrancy and glorious green spaces.
There are a range of tourist attractions in the area such as The Royal Gardens at Highgrove, Westonbirt Arboretum, Slimbridge Wetland Centre, the Cotswold Gliding club and the Cotswold Water Park, and further afield destinations including Cheltenham, Bath, Bristol and Oxford are within easy reach for day trips.
The Creamery is the ideal country retreat for a family or for a group of friends who are looking for a relaxing break in the South Cotswolds.
