Green Farm House, Aldworth - sleeps 10 guests in 5 bedrooms

The village of Aldsworth is a typical Cotswold location with quiet lanes and stone cottages. Green Farm House is a three-storey property a stone's throw from the village pub, sitting above a triangular green and village war memorial. The stone entrance creates a grand arrival with wisteria and flowering borders in the summer months.

Once inside you will love exploring each room, finding details which are sure to delight. The ground floor is spacious with two open fires to create a cosy atmosphere and a range of music related artwork to be admired. Two reception rooms, the music room and the sitting room, offer space for spending time as smaller groups. With a piano and record player, you can drift away from the bustle of technology and really get away from it all. Everyone can be gathered in the central dining room for meals which have been prepared in the impressive well-equipped kitchen. Across the first and second floors are five bedrooms and there is a games room with gaming consoles and table football where the children can hide away in their own world of fantasy.

Outside is a secluded lawned courtyard garden with a patio. There are planted borders and you can enjoy a morning drink or evening meals here. You are an easy walk from the village pub and there are lovely destinations within a short drive.
