WOODCHESTER MANSION is a unique and amazing Grade 1 listed Victorian Gothic house hidden in a beautiful Cotswold valley. It is an unfinished masterpiece. Building started about 1857, but stopped in the mid-1860s so floors and ceilings are missing, walls not plastered and windows unglazed. All the secrets of the construction of the Mansion are visible - something visitors will never see in another country house. The Mansion was designed by a young local architect, Benjamin Bucknall from Rodborough. He produced a unique Gothic Revival house which blends the local traditional work in limestone with the ideas of the French architectural thinker Viollet-le-Duc.

Painswick Rococo Garden is quirky and pretty unique. Designed in the 1740s as a fanciful pleasure garden for the owner of Painswick House and his guests, today it’s a place to roam free, to get up close and personal with nature, or to feel the warmth of the sun on your face as you take in the spectacular views of the Cotswold countryside and magical follies. Good cafe great homemade cakes.

The ivy-clad buildings of Stow-on-the-Wold make it one of the most beautiful market towns in the Cotswolds. This pretty town is famous for its antique shops and has a lively Market Square lined with independent boutiques. If you’re a history buff, take a look at the ancient cross in the centre of the square or explore other areas of local history by heading down to St Edward’s Church for amazing architecture. There are many great places to eat and drink. Why not visit England’s oldest inn, also known as The Porch House founded in 947AD, for a freshly pulled pint by a cosy open fire? We love Alexiou’s restaurant and The Old Butchers in Stow for the most delicious seafood.

Garden Cafe Miserden For 2021 we have converted one of our vintage trailers into a catering wagon serving hot and cold drinks, ice cream and a delicious selection of sweet and savoury options. This will replace the glasshouse café, as for this year we felt an outdoor catering facility would be more appropriate and enable customers to feel at ease during these current times. The Garden Café will be re-opened next year, 2022. The catering wagon will be open on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays and will be stationed on the grass at the entrance to the garden. Perfect for a coffee and something tasty to eat after enjoying one of the stunning walks through the Miserden countryside or on your way to exploring the garden.

Flyup was born in May 2010 by husband and wife team Simon & Angela Ruskin. The concept of uplifting came when Simon, a keen DH rider returned from a Mountain bike holiday in France. Like many people he had a busy life and got fed up of spending most of his precious riding day pushing up rather than riding. They launched their first uplift service at the Cannop Cycle Centre at the Forest of Dean helping to firmly put the cycle centre on the DH map! In 2013 the opportunity came to purchase and develop a 100 acre farm on Crickley Hill in Gloucestershire. The 417 Bike Park is the biggest privately owned mountain bike facility in England offering a variety of riding disciplines within one venue.

The beautiful and historic Cotswold village of Broadway is a memorable place to stay and a perfect base from which to tour the local area and enjoy the stunning walks. The pretty High Street is lined with horse chestnut trees and includes a mixture of period houses and picturesque honey coloured Cotswold stone cottages which have lured visitors for centuries.
Burford is a hotspot for shopping, cafes and some excellent pubs. Our favourite being The Angel at Burford, where you can enjoy some mouth watering gastro-pub food served all day. You must order the blade of beef, and if you enjoy a freshly pulled pint, the Hooky ale is the one to go for. The pubs surrounding Burford are also not to be missed, including the Maytime Inn, which has a gorgeous garden so you can soak up the sun in the Summer months.

The perfect place to shop till you drop! Cirencester has a great shopping area where you can find high street names as well as independent retailers. There’s plenty of things to see and do, the kid’s favourite tends to be Cotswold Country Park & Beach, as it’s home to a giant inflatable water park, high ropes course and BBQ pits, so that you can spend the whole day soaking up the fun! If that sounds like your idea of hell on your relaxing Cotswold holiday, then visit the Corinium museum or Elemental Sculpture Park for something more low-key. If you took the plunge and visited the kid’s haven, reward yourself with a delicious, hearty dinner and freshly pulled pint at The Masons Arms and they will welcome you with open arms.

This gorgeous village is just what you signed up for if you’re looking for a picture-perfect spot. We recommend a stroll along the River Coln with an award-winning cup of coffee and cake from Lynwood & Co. Don’t forget to pick up one of their sourdough loaves to enjoy during your stay. There’s also a delightful family-run Italian, Colosseo Ristorante, we hear their Carpaccio pizza is to die for! Embrace the fast and the furious at Gwynnespeed Rally School which is open all year round for all you adrenaline junkies out there

With stunning views of the Cotswold countryside, Faringdon is a picturesque, historic market town. It’s 100ft tall Folly Tower is the area’s most famous landmark and you can explore it in all its glory with the 8km Farringdon circular walk, famous for its breath-taking views of the rolling Cotswolds hills. If this sounds a bit too far, you can follow the last bit of the route which features a sculpture trail in the woods, perfect for children. Visit the National Trust site, Buscot Park, an 18th century house, home to enchanting gardens and the Faringdon art collection. Just around the corner from Buscot Park, you’ll find Buscot Weir, which is known by the locals as a great place for open water swimming. If you’re looking for a bite to eat, try Faringdon Coffee House, great for a light bite and also amazing Lebanese food… their sharing plate with grilled aubergine, chicken wings and vine leaves is absolutely divine!

STEP BACK IN TIME The mill, the workings of which are slowly being restored to their former glory, is the setting for the museum itself. You will be guided through the history of breadmaking and learn how a corn mill works. ORGASMIC ICE-CREAM The aim was to produce an ice cream with all natural ingredients and no artificial additives which we have done with great success. Most of our customers agree with the “Orgasmic” title. Apart from the odd celebate individual. RELAX BY THE RIVER Sit out on the terrace and watch the River Eye flow by or relax in the cosy barn and enjoy a bit of delicious home cooking.
