Location
Just outside Northleach and not far from Chedworth Roman Villa, arriving in Hampnett feels like you’ve stepped out of reality. You walk into a postcard scene of quiet country lanes, picturesque cottages and rolling greenery. It is a fairytale of Cotswold beauty which you will struggle to leave at the end of your stay. In the medieval wool town of Northleach, weekly markets are still held, the pubs have open fires, and you are warmly welcomed in the shops. Walking routes cover the area, letting you leave the car behind as you rack up the miles in your boots. If you do choose to travel, there are several points of interest within easy reach from the National Trust Roman villa at Chedworth to the well-known Cotswold Farm Park. Wander the streets of Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, Burford or visit Cheltenham Races.
