Almsbury Farmhouse is a beautifully restored, rambling property that sleeps 14 guests across 3 double bedrooms, 3 twin bedrooms and a separate self-contained annexe with a double bed. The main farmhouse is arranged over 3 floors, with a large dining room and table to seat 14, well-equipped kitchen, cosy sitting room, snug/breakfast room, playroom, and five bathrooms (including annexe en-suite) with additional downstairs WC. Stylish, cosy and historical, this charming 18th Century farmhouse also benefits from an expansive garden, with a lovely outdoor dining suite on raised decking. Almsbury Farmhouse is perfect for larger groups or families looking to relax in the Cotswold countryside.

During your stay, you are entitled to free admission to Sudeley Castle and Gardens during the Castle’s open season (except for separately ticketed events).
Full Description

Almsbury Farmhouse is one of the largest properties on the Sudeley Estate, accommodating 14 guests comfortably across the main farmhouse and the separate self-contained annexe, which is complete with its own kitchen and living area. Surrounded by open, expansive garden and within just a short walk of both Sudeley Castle and the town of Winchcombe, Almsbury’s location is idyllic. Bursting with unique period features, hidden staircases, surprise rooms and all the utilities and equipment you will need, Almsbury is the ideal property for larger groups and families looking for a little more space.

Spread over three floors, on the ground floor guests have use of a cosy sitting room, impressively large dining room, kitchen, utility room, children’s playroom, downstairs WC and snug/breakfast room. There is access to the first floor via two separate staircases, where three sumptuous king size double bedrooms can be found, two with en-suite bathrooms as well as one family bathroom. Go up a smaller staircase to the second floor, and you will find three twin bedrooms, one is very large with plenty of beanbags – making for a great alternative playroom! There is also another family bathroom on the second floor. The annexe is self-contained, featuring a downstairs kitchen/living area and upstairs double bedroom and en-suite bathroom. Outside, guests have access to a large garden, as well as a raised decking area with outdoor dining furniture.

Lady Ashcombe has taken a special interest in the design and furnishing of the farmhouse and has personally selected works of art, objects and furniture that reflect the history and unique character of the building. Some of the contents come directly from the Castle’s collection, others from local antique shops and auction rooms.

Main House - Ground Floor

The old front door leads into a stone-floored entrance hall which leads into the sitting room (up two steps) and the dining room.

On raised decking, there is a garden table for 14 people with a retractable parasol, and a BBQ (charcoal – please bring your own fuel). To the front, there is a sloping lawn with the Isbourne River gently running along at the bottom. The Church and rooftops of Winchcombe can be seen in the near distance. There is ample parking for 8-10 vehicles.

The Annexe


Across the gravelled courtyard from the main house is the Annexe. This self-contained, two-story, one-bedroom, one-bathroom additional accommodation is ideal for large family groups who have one or two guests who prefer extra privacy or quiet.

Step through the front door into the hallway, where there’s plenty of room to leave boots, shoes, and coats. To the left is the staircase to the bedroom and bathroom. The annexe features an open-plan kitchen-living-dining area, with original arched doors opening onto the courtyard and a window in the kitchen area overlooking the Farmhouse’s fabulous garden and outdoor seating area.

The living-dining space has a two-seater sofa, coffee table and a dining table for two. The kitchen is equipped with a hob/oven, toaster and kettle, plus basic utensils for preparing a simple meal/snack. Guests staying in The Annexe typically eat in the Farmhouse. On the first floor, there is a spacious, ensuite bedroom with a vaulted and beamed ceiling. The bedroom is furnished with a king-size double bed, bedside drawers with reading lamps, a chest of drawers (with hairdryer), a desk/dressing table, a hanging rail, a chair and a full-length mirror.

The en-suite bathroom has a walk-in power shower, washbasin and mirror, toilet, and heated towel rail.

Walks
The Winchcombe Way, a 42-mile figure-of-eight trail centred around the town, offers walkers a great way of discovering the surrounding Cotswold towns and villages section-by-section over the course of a stay, whilst there are plenty of options for those looking for a more casual, leisurely pace within a close radius of the cottage. We recommend the Sudeley Castle circular walk for a relaxing stroll; a 2-mile loop setting off straight from the cottage’s front door, taking you into the grounds of historic Sudeley Castle - a must-visit for any guest. The 2.5 mile walk to Belas Knap, a Neolithic chambered long barrow sat atop Cleeve Hill, is also a great walk to try from the doorstep, providing you don’t mind the incline.

We booked the farmhouse for a family get together for 9 adults and 2 small children. It was clean, comfortable and had pretty much everything you needed in the kitchen. The outside seating area was lovely and we took full advantage of it on two nights for a BBQ and pizza night- we were very lucky with the weather. The children loved running around and playing in the large garden. We ate out one night at The White Hart- very good and would recommend it.

We had a long weekend with a family group of 10; a lovely house, plenty of parking. Separate annex very handy. Fabulous location at the entrance to Sudeley Castle - well worth a visit, more fun than NT properties. Big back garden for dogs to run around and rugby balls to be thrown. Top tip for family group:- Hire a narrowboat from Bidford Boats.

Lovely large accommodation that housed the 10 of us comfortably. Barbecue on the first night with all equipment there and then dinner out in Winchcombe on the subsequent 2 nights in 2 of the town’s excellent restaurants. A drive down to Woodchester Vineyard one day and a cycle up to Cotswold Lavender farm the next day. A drop in at the fascinating Sudeley Castle on the way. So much to do within easy daily access from this venue.

We had a wonderful time at Almsbury Farmhouse. It was nicely appointed with everything we needed. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our entire party to be comfortable. In addition, we loved the cosy sitting room and the enclosed backyard and patio area. It is a quick walk into Winchcombe or to Sudeley Castle. Winchcombe is a fantastic base for exploring the Cotswolds. We hope to be back soon!

Wow what a property. We were lucky to stay on a beautiful weekend for our wedding when the grass was green, roses were out and the house was looking great. It took us 20 mins to get our bearing as the house is so higgeldy-piggeldy but that's what I love about it! Access to the 1st floor via two parts of the house was great so our guests weren't on top of each other. Most rooms had their own bathroom. Clean, lovely light in the house, fantastic kitchen.

We stayed at Almsbury Farmhouse with friends to celebrate my 60th birthday and we had a truly wonderful time. The weather was superb and so we were able to make full use of the generous outdoor space and barbeque. The space indoors is equally impressive and the whole place is extremely comfortable and impressively well equipped. The number of separate spaces make it especially suitable for parties of mixed age. We loved being able to walk into Winchcombe so easily and having free access to Sudeley Castle. As we had tickets for Giffords Circus, the location could not have been better.

Beautiful old house in a fabulous location. We were a group of 11 friends gathered for an annual reunion. The house had everything we needed. We appreciated the second kettle in the annex which we brought into the main kitchen and was great for the many cups of tea. We had lovely weather. We brought logs for the wood burner which was also great. Everyone enjoyed their stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Almsbury Farmhouse.

Lovely farmhouse with loads of room for our extended family in a gorgeous setting. We loved visiting Sudeley Castle, gardens and playground just five minutes away and Winchcombe is a lovely village with good places to eat.
