Experience the freedom of a rural retreat at Hilcot Farmhouse, set amongst swathes of glorious farmland and spectacular views.

Waking up to gaze across the Malverns in the distance you feel the urge to follow the meandering walking routes as you explore. Easing you into a relaxing holiday Castle Barn Farmhouse has space to spend time with your family, both indoors and out, playing board games, dining on farm produce or discovering Cheltenham, Bourton on the Water, and top attractions such as Cotswold Farm Park and Chedworth Roman Villa.

Feeling secluded amongst farmland, Hilcot Farmhouse is a stone’s throw from Cheltenham and delightful dining spots. A walk over the fields and you find yourselves at popular Dunkertons, a cider taproom with a host of pop-up food stalls, delicatessen and events. Just beyond the trees lies Cheltenham, home to festivals visited by thousands from around the world and boutique shops. Visit for the culture and stay for Michelin starred meals. Heading deeper into the Cotswolds, Bourton-on-the-Water, Cirencester and Stroud, known for its farmers market, are all well worth visiting. For family days out Sudeley Castle and Cotswold Farm Park are not to be missed.
