The Old Dairy - Cheltenham,

Uniquely positioned high on the Cotswold escarpment overlooking Regency Cheltenham, the Old Dairy at Slades Farm boasts one of the ten best views in England. All the main rooms provide panoramic vistas westward across the Severn Vale to the Black Mountains of Wales and southward as far as the Severn Bridge. Walks start within a few feet of the front door with Nottingham Hill, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, rising above the cottage. Within a quarter of a mile is 1000 feet-high Cleeve Hill with its golf course and ancient earthworks. Beyond are the Cotswolds with their picturesque villages and stately homes, while Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust and Stratford-upon-Avon are both within easy reach.

Only four miles away 15 minutes drive is Cheltenham with its superb Regency architecture, stylish shops, annual Music Festival and famous Race Course. Set in its own four acres of unspoiled meadowland, the Old Dairy is a carefully restored stone-built dairy dating from the early 19th century, which has been remodelled internally by the owners to the highest specifications. Its heart is a 30 feet long, vaulted, oak-floored sitting room with a gallery and wood-burning stove. There are three double sized bedrooms. Downstairs is a large bedroom with a double bed and en suite bathroom with shower & bath. Upstairs another large bedroom has twin beds, a vaulted ceiling and a picture window directed toward breathtaking sunsets. The third bedroom has twin beds, vaulted ceiling and a large conservation roof window. Between the bedrooms is a second bathroom, with a shower. The gallery also has a double Futon bed and there is a sofa bed in the sitting room. A cot, playpen, high chair, and Z beds are also available on request.

Cheltenham

CHELTENHAM

 Cheltenham is undoubtedly one of the Cotswold’s most cosmopolitan and stylish towns. The spa town’s reputation was greatly enhanced when George 111 and Queen Charlotte took the waters in 1788. It is abundant in history and architecture – Cheltenham Ladies College founded in 1841 is now predominately a mixture of Victorian Decorated gothic and late 20th century work and is definitely worth a visit. No visit to Cheltenham is complete without spending some time browsing the Montpellier area. 

The Montpellier Gardens were opened in 1809 to cover the most lavish building of Montpellier Spa and host a variety of activities throughout the summer including live music.  Shopping in Montpellier is a must, there are numerous specialist shops and boutiques, all amidst a host of bars, cafes, pubs and restaurants. The inaugural classic steeplechase of the season, the Gold Cup, was first held at Cheltenham in 1924. The Cheltenham Gold Cup Steeplechase is now a fixture of the Cheltenham Festival in March, a time when countless thousands of visitors hit Cheltenham en masse.
