The Experience

Tumble down the track to Westley Farm and break free. Families will love Dan and Ali’s 70 acres which you are encouraged to explore. Two friendly dogs, free-range chickens and ponies to ride add to the fun. Let the children make new friends – there are woods to explore (and make dens in), meadows to picnic in and wildlife to spot.

Your one-storey retreat is open plan and well-equipped with logs for the fire, books, games and a telly if the weather turns foul. You’ll also find a private view-filled walled garden – a serene spot for a sundowner.

A 15-minute walk will take you to Chalford and the Lavender Bake House for tea and cakes or hop in the car to explore Stroud and stock up at the farmers’ market (every Saturday) and The Brewery. You can also walk there along footpaths then get a taxi back. The Crown is an amble away across fields.

Naomi, Cotswolds

Picture a cosy little country cottage nestled on the side of the hill with fabulous views across the Golden Valley! In the evening, the light was quite magical and we loved sitting out in both little gardens, watching the horses and mistle thrushes in the nearby field. Dan and Ali are charming hosts and were a mine of information on our arrival. So we spent a wonderful week exploring the Cotswolds countryside and returning to our rural retreat, away from it all. Perfect!

Location

The neighbourhood

A nature-based escape for couples, families, hikers, and dogs. The farm is home to butterflies, orchids, wildflowers, buzzards, kites, roe deer and 30 acres of Designated Ancient Woodland. Public footpaths link with the Wysis Way and the Bathurst Estate at Cirencester. Artisan and local treats, as well as good coffee and burgers, can be found a mile away at The Jolly Nice Farm Shop and Deli.

Local points of interest from Dan & Ali

  • Saddle up... Get on your horse, bareback or on a saddle. The owners can take novices and more experienced riders on a trek through the woods on their three steady ponies, Sailor, Carrot and Rolo. You might even get as far as the pub. Please book ahead.
  • Local flavours… Stroud, just 4 miles from the farm, boasts the nation’s premier farmers’ market, as well as a vibrant cultural scene, bars, a cinema and the truly fab Stroud Brewery, organic, local and serving pizza and music at weekends.
  • Take a hike… the farm is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, and there are several walks that start and finish on the property – many of them passing one of the many wonderful traditional Cotswold pubs.
  • Swing a club… the neighbouring Minchinhampton Common, a remarkable hilltop site with Iron Age and Bronze Age features as well as roaming cattle, is also home to one of the wildest golf courses this side of Scotland. A uniquely challenging experience.
  • Take a dip… indulge your inner adventurer at the Cotswold Water Park, offering an enormous array of activities, from wakeboarding to angling.
  • Past pleasures… history comes alive at Berkeley Castle, where you can peek at the room where Edward II was reputedly murdered, or marvel at the sumptuous setting of Sudeley Castle, where Katherine Parr, Henry VIII's last wife, is buried.

Introducing

Dan & Ali

Dan and Ali (a journalist and an artist) fell in love with the Stroud valleys before moving in 2017 to Westley Farm. They are an engaging and delightful couple who are bursting with ideas for future projects, from making honey from wildflower meadows to offering horse livery stays. They have a passion to re-jig the gardens, be organic and, wherever possible, use local craftsmen; note the hand-crafted holiday yurts.
