Downhouse Farm is a welcoming farmhouse on a family-run farm just across the border of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Before being renovated to become a comfortable holiday cottage that can sleep eight to ten people in four bedrooms, the dog-friendly Grade II listed farmhouse was the owner's cherished family home and arriving here feels relaxing and familiar, even if you have never visited Gloucestershire before. The house's location less than a mile from Dursley gives visitors direct access to miles of footpaths and best-loved views and is also close to historic towns and villages.
The Cotswold Way stretches for 102 glorious miles from Chipping Campden to Bath and passes close by Downhouse Farm. Cam Peak is only a short walk from the front door, rewarding the effort of climbing the hill with far-reaching views over Longdown towards the River Severn. A folder detailing some of the owner's favourite walks is waiting in the cottage, ready to help visitors plan their next adventure.
There is plenty for visitors of all ages to enjoy during their stay at Downhouse Farm, making it ideal if you are on holiday with different generations of your extended family, or with friends who have different interests. Favourite local attractions for a fun-filled day outdoors include Slimbridge Wetlands and Westonbirt Arboretum. Cattle Country Adventure is an excellent all-weather destination as it has both indoor and outdoor attractions, as is magnificent Berkeley Castle and Woodchester Park and Mansion.
The ancient city of Gloucester, with its medieval cathedral and historic docks, is excellent for a day's shopping, sightseeing and lunch. The docks have a choice of waterfront pubs and restaurants and two museums (the Gloucester Waterways Museum and the Old Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum) and are close to the Gloucester Quays Designer Outlet.
Despite its relaxed, rural setting, Downhouse Farm is easy to reach via road or train, and close to some of the areas best sights and attractions. It is simple to unwind in these beautiful surroundings, planning activities that can range from remote walks through the countryside to dinner and the theatre, all within only a few miles of the front door.
