Welcome to the perfect country cottage for weekend breaks, in the heart of the Cotswold countryside, less than 100 miles from London. Originally a local dairy dating from the 1840s, we retained the original Cotswold stone architecture when we converted it into a stylish, modern, rural retreat; great for romantic weekends away, but safe for family holidays too. You’ll wake up to the fresh air of Gloucestershire countryside, and incredible views of the Cotswolds. Uniquely positioned high on the Cotswold escarpment overlooking Regency Cheltenham, the stone cottage at Slades Farm boasts one of the ten best views in England. You will enjoy views westwards to the Severn Vale, the Black Mountains of Wales and southward as far as the Severn Bridge. It’s the English countryside at its best, and whether you enjoy exploring old English villages, Winchcombe, Cheltenham, Broadway, Stow-on-the-Wold, to try out the local pubs or traditional English farms for organic farm produce, hill walking along the untouched countryside of the Cotswold Way or horse riding with the local stables – there are numerous country activities that make this a great weekend break for romantic couples, groups of friends, or a family holiday in the beautiful countryside.

Walks start within a few feet of the front door with Nottingham Hill, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, rising above the cottage. Within a quarter of a mile is 1000 feet-high Cleeve Hill with its golf course and ancient earthworks Beyond are the Cotswolds with their picturesque villages and stately homes, while Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust and Stratford-upon-Avon are both within easy reach. Only four miles away 15 minutes drive is Cheltenham with its superb Regency architecture, stylish shops, annual Music Festival and famous Race Course.
Set in its own four acres of unspoiled meadowland, the Old Dairy is a carefully restored stone-built dairy dating from the early 19th century, which has been remodelled internally by the owners to the highest specifications. Its heart is a 30 feet long, vaulted, oak-floored sitting room with a gallery and wood-burning stove.
