Crows Nest Farm:
No longer a working farm, Crows Nest is now a private small holding with stables, hay barn and grazing in a small farming community. The owners live on site and offer a warm welcome. Approached by a long paved driveway, The Lodge is adjacent to the main house, whilst Oaks and Brambles are located at the far end of the main rear yard area, which is set centrally in the property's 13 acres of pasture padocks. Each cottage has its own enclosed patio, and access to a shared quarter acre lawned garden with pond and a small wood. The main house is set in its own gardens bounded with mature hedges, offering ample privacy for both guests and owners. Many mature trees and ancient hedgerows add to the seclusion of the site, and there is an abundance of wildlife to observe including Deer, Owls, Buzzards, Pheasants and Kestrels. A majestic male Peacock provides an eye-catching display during the summer months. Ample parking is available on site. Bicycles etc can also be stored in the stables.
Family Friendly Accommodation:
The cottages offer a relaxing environment catering for all ages, they are kept as clean and well maintained as possible. The newly fitted kitchens, with new crockery, pans and cooking utensils, are sure to please the cook in the party, alternatively BBQ and enjoy spectacular sunsets over the Cotswolds. Children are very welcome, and enjoy playing in the large lawned garden and the extensive yard area. An under-cover trampoline, tree house and pond offer further entertainment (parents please beware, supervision required). Table tennis available in the barn on request. Pony petting is also popular. During the pool opening season, sun beds and deck chairs are available for use in the main garden or by the pool, ideal for book lovers and sun seekers to enjoy their holiday whilst the more energetic play and swim. The pool is 45ft long, the water temperature is kept at about 28C. It is usually warm enough to both swim and spectate even on a dull day. Some inflatables add to the fun.
