Sydenham Farm Cottages offers four tastefully newly renovated holiday barns that are located on a non-working farm between the lovely Cotswolds villages of Broadwell (one mile) and Oddington (just over one mile). They are also just a short distance from the popular historic market town of Stow-on-the-Wold (just over two and a half miles).

These fantastic honey coloured stone barn conversions are in the heart of the Cotswolds and offer a truly peaceful retreat, accessed along a sweeping driveway and set amongst beautiful countryside. Each barn benefits from having its own outside area where you can relax and dine al fresco or enjoy a cup of coffee in the sunshine. There is plenty of room for the children to let off steam, along with plenty of parking.

With a choice of four cottages, there is something to suit parties of two to five guests individually or larger parties if more than one cottage is hired at the same time. The Tallet (sleeps four guests) and The Linney (sleeps two) would rent well together or separately and are both in one barn. They have been designed as a downstairs one bed conversion (The Linney) and an upstairs loft style conversion (The Tallet) and are both entered through a lovely glazed door into a large 'communal' area with flag stone flooring, huge rug, heating, plenty of coat hooks and room for the wellies. However, both properties have their own lockable front door so are equally suitable as individual holiday lets.

Sydenham Farm Cottages provides the perfect base from which to explore the Cotswolds either by foot or by car. Stow-on-the-Wold is only a short drive away with its shops, pubs, restaurants, bistros, deli, butcher, fashion boutiques, bakers, organic shop, chocolate shop and a Tesco on the outskirts of the town. The quintessential English villages of Kingham, Bledington, The Slaughters, Bourton-on-the-Water and The Swells are a short distance away and Broadway and Chipping Campden are too within easy reach - all regarded as some of the prettiest chocolate box village locations in the country!

Cheltenham and Oxford are within an hour where you can absorb some culture with the literary and jazz festivals, a theatre production or live screenings of opera from New York. The beautiful City of Bath also makes a fantastic day out, with its stunning architecture and Roman Spa Thermae. Another great adventure for the day, is to have morning coffee in Cirencester and head onto Tetbury for lunch and a stroll around, followed by a visit to Westonbirt Arboretum. Stratford-upon-Avon is just forty minutes by car with its great shops, restaurants and the wonderful new Shakespeare theatre. You can also visit many beautiful National Trust properties and gardens including Hidcote Manor, Blenheim Palace, Sudely Castle, Sherborne Estate, Chastleton House, Snowshill Manor and many more!
