Set over two floors, the comfortable bedrooms are on the ground floor while upstairs has an open plan living area and separate dining room. Overlooking the farmyard you can watch the daily goings on and spot sheep in the fields. The village of Todenham is perfectly placed for exploring the north Cotswolds, heading to historic Stow-on-the-Wold, Moreton in Marsh to visit Batsford Arboretum and Sezincote. The luxuries of Soho Farmhouse and Daylesford Organic are also just a 20 minute drive.
Overview
Escape to a country farm retreat at Stockmans Cottage where the farmer would have lived while caring for the animals. You are surrounded by the well-tended farmyard with views over the fields where you can see the sheep grazing in the distance.
Glowing in Cotswold stone, this cottage has an upside-down layout with a large open plan living area on the first floor. Wooden beams give a hint of how this cottage looked in the past and adds some character to your stay. Split between a sitting area and kitchen it is a space you can make your own. Serving meals in the separate dining room important occasions can be celebrated and if you’d prefer to eat out, head to Herd just across the farmyard. Downstairs are two bedrooms, a super king-size and a double where you can drift away into an undisturbed sleep.
Outside there is parking for two cars alongside the cottage, and there is a table and chairs for your morning coffee. A footpath takes you out of the farm, starting walks through the neighbouring countryside filled with idyllic views. Nearby are some Cotswold favourites including Herd which is a fantastic restaurant with stunning views, serving farm to fork breakfast, lunch and dinner including Steak nights on a Friday night. Visit Pit Kitchen where fire cooked feasts are a memorable occasion, Longborough Festival Opera will fill your days with song and National trust Charlecote House is a time capsule of historic family life.

Thank you to the owners for the Christmas tree and mince pies!

Memorable stay
Stockmans cottage is a lovely property in a beautiful working farm. Given that it was newly entered in the market, there was some teething issues ( which were dealt with promptly- thanks), but aside from that, the stay was special. We loved the village, the farm and the property. It is very close to the Arboretum, which is a must visit. Thanks to the hosts!
