About The Old Hall

The Old Hall is a plush pet-friendly house nestled in Westonbirt near Sherston, in Cotswolds. This countryside abode features a toasty woodburning stove, and a large enclosed garden with a hot tub, barbecue and a trampoline, making it a lovely base for large families or a group of friends.

After pulling into the generous gravel driveway, the honey-coloured bricks of The Old Hall greet you with warmth and character, framed by neat shrubbery and a welcoming lawn. Step through the front door and into the hallway, where coats and boots can be tucked away before exploring the rest of the home.

The sitting room invites you to unwind with its bay windows that flood the space with natural light, a wall-mounted TV for evening entertainment, and a woodburning stove that crackles in the nook, perfect for chilly nights. The kitchen/diner is a true social hub, with an island at its centre for prepping meals and chatting over coffee, while the Rangemaster cooker sits tucked into a charming alcove, ready to help you rustle up hearty dishes.

The adjoining dining room offers a more formal setting for celebratory meals, and the study provides a peaceful nook for reading or catching up on emails. A utility room houses all the laundry essentials, keeping the rest of the house clutter-free.

As the day winds down, guests can retreat to one of four thoughtfully appointed bedrooms, two of which boast sleek en-suite shower rooms. A freestanding bath in the main bathroom offers a luxurious soak, while the cloakroom adds convenience for larger groups.

Outside, the enclosed garden is a haven for relaxation and play. Sun loungers and hanging seats invite lazy afternoons, while the hot tub bubbles away under the open sky.
