Description

Whalley Farm Bed and Breakfast is a large working farm situated in beautiful rolling Cotswolds countryside on the edge of the little village of Whittington, just 4 miles from the Regency spa town of Cheltenham. The Grade II listed farmhouse dates back to the 1600’s (although there is strong evidence of Roman connections) and has a wealth of historic features including flagstone floors, beams, and exposed stone walls. The sitting room offers a log fire, while there are lovely views from the bedrooms across the gardens, the fields and the farm beyond. Whalley Farm is close to the Cotswold Way National Trail in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are some beautiful walks over our downs and through the woods, where you may see carpets of bluebells and wild garlic and lots of unusual wild flowers, as well as deer, foxes, hares, and a variety of birds. The farm participates in a number of conservation and environmental initiatives. Whalley Farm is the home of the Woldtop Herd of high quality pedigree dairy cattle, and we rear our own Holstein Friesian calves. Our Herd Manager Rob enjoys showing off our cows, and welcomes a helping hand in the milking parlour if our guests would like to learn more. For those who prefer just to relax around the house, we have a tennis court and plenty of quiet corners in the garden for reading or simply sitting. (Click here to see our Gallery photos.) The Cheltenham Racecourse is 4 miles away, accessed via a country lane which avoids the busy town centre during race days. Cheltenham hosts the Gold Cup at the Prestbury racecourse in March. The town also hosts a number of well-regarded festivals throughout the year, including literature, music and science. Owner Information Gill Rowe Gloucestershire   Phone : +44 (0)1242 820213

Things to see and do in Gloucestershire

	The Eight Bells      View website The Eight Bells was originally built in the 14th century to house the stonemasons that built St. James’ church and was later used to store the peel of eight bells that were hung in the church tower – hence its name. The Inn was rebuilt using most of the original stone and timbers during the 17th century. What exists today is an outstanding example of a traditional Cotswolds Inn. Only 50m off Chipping Campden’s bustling High Street (so free from town centre and road noise) we are just a short stroll from all places of interest within the Town. Chipping Campden itself is surrounded by a wealth of Cotswold towns, villages and exquisite hamlets - perfect for cycling and walking. In fact, the town is the start/end point of the famous Cotswold Way Walk. Enjoy our local ales, fine wines and excellent food.
	Cattle Country Adventure Park      View website Cattle Country in Berkeley, Gloucestershire is a great day out come rain or shine for children, and adults too. Best known for its indoor and outdoor play equipment, Cattle Country has a whole range of things to do and many animals to see. Whenever the park is closed to the public, private parties can be booked for exclusive use of the park.
	Cheltenham Festival      View website The Cheltenham Festival is the most prestigious meeting in the National Hunt racing calendar in the United Kingdom, and has race prize money second only to the Grand National. It is an event where many of the best British and Irish trained horses race against each other, the extent of which is relatively rare during the rest of the season. The festival takes place annually in March at Cheltenham Racecourse in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. The meeting is often very popular with Irish visitors, mostly because of that nation's affinity with horse racing, but also because it often coincides with Saint Patrick's Day.
	Beverston Castle Roughly pentagonal castle built in 1229, with round towers and a twin-tower gatehouse which may well be later. From about 1330 the castle was much altered by the addition of a large square corner tower, a domestic block associated with it and a smaller square tower, the latter of C15 date. All that remains is one tower from the gatehouse and rubble from later buildings. Castle built as fortified manor house c1225 by Maurice de Gaunt, enlarged c1350/60 by Thomas 3rd Lord of Berkeley including gatehouse, north west tower altered in C15, domestic range on south side added by Hicks family probably in early C17 on site of a former Great Hall and remodelled c1691 after a fire. Maurice de Grant was issued a licence in 1229 for his existing castle.
	Gloucester Cathedral      View website Worship has taken place in this wonderful building for 900 years and it continues as a place of prayer and Christian pilgrimage. We look forward to welcoming you to our wonderful cathedral! There is plenty to see, with exhibitions and guided tours so you can make the most of your visit.
	Forest of Dean      View website The Forest of Dean is a geographical, historical and cultural region in the western part of the county of Gloucestershire, England. The area is characterised by over 110 square kilometers of mixed woodland, one of the surviving ancient woodlands in England.
	Owlpen Manor      View website Owlpen Manor is a Tudor Grade I listed manor house of the Mander family, situated in the village of Owlpen in the Stroud district in Gloucestershire, England.
	Sudeley Castle      View website Sudeley Castle gardens are remarkable for the extraordinary depth and wealth of the sublime and beauty that lies within their bounds. Set in the midst of the Cotswold Hills, the house and gardens have grown for over 300 years around the picturesque ruins of the old castle and walls of an old Tithe barn. Today old roses and clematis festoon these ancient walls and abound in formal gardens studded and framed with voluminous blocks of topiary yews and boxwood. The gardens, restored and redesigned in the 19th century by Emma Dent and in the 20th century by Lady Ashcombe, bring to life the magic of the places where Katherine Parr would have strolled alongside the tragic Lady Jane Grey.
	The International Centre for Birds of Prey      View website The Conservation of Birds of Prey and their habitats through public education, captive breeding, treatment and rehabilitation of wild injured birds of prey. Research for understanding, health and the conservation of all birds of prey.
	Cotswold Motoring Museum      View website Located in the beautiful Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Water, the Cotswold Motoring Museum is a fascinating journey through the 20th Century. Though the main focus is on motoring, the Museum is full of the everyday paraphernalia that made motoring so popular including picnic sets from the 1920s, alongside caravans, radio sets, gramophones and knitted swimsuits.
