One of five, converted stone farm buildings, The Granary is situated on a 350 acre working dairy farm on the southern edge of the Cotswolds.

There are also plenty of long walks across the farmland, which includes a bluebell wood and a stretch of the River Avon where coarse fishing is available by arrangement.
A wealth of other activities are also at guest's disposal on the farm - swimming pool, hard tennis court, croquet lawn, sauna and games room - and once you've finished enjoying all of that, you have your own private, south facing terrace where you can unwind at the end of an exciting day.
Inside the cottage itself, you'll find it bright and spacious with plenty of room for up to five adult guests (six guests if children are in the party).
The decor is traditional in style, very much in keeping with the historic feeling of the barn, while at the same time providing all the comforts guests will need to really kick back and enjoy their holiday.
