Woodchester Valley House

First planted in 2007, Woodchester Valley Vineyard is a family-owned business producing a range of Award-winning Cotswold wines. Book a break in this fabulous holiday home and you’ll have an unrivalled view of the vines, plus the chance to enjoy tours and tasting sessions.

Nearby, the wooded limestone valley – owned by the National Trust – offers waymarked walks that includes the remains of a landscape park with lakes and a restored boathouse. Within the valley, but under separate ownership, Woodchester Mansion is a secluded Gothic mansion with a fascinating history.

A couple of miles from your doorstep, Nailsworth is home to award-winning restaurants, pubs and cafes, plus an array of independent stores. Stroud (4 miles) is known for its steep streets and vibrant retail mix that’s complemented by two bustling markets.

Enjoy a stroll beside the Stroudwater Canal or join the Cotswold Way for a 6-mile hike between the two towns. This striking property, built with Cotswold stone and skilfully designed to deliver far-reaching views across the gardens, vineyard and wooded valleys beyond, makes a magnificent base for a gathering of friends or family.

A formal entrance hall welcomes you; featuring high ceilings and fully glazed doors, it overlooks the garden terrace and gives direct access to a handy ground-floor cloakroom. To one side of the hall, the first of two lounges has a choice of comfortable sofas arranged before a Smart TV and wood burner.

Across the hall, the second lounge/games room has a similarly social vibe, with its own wood burner and Smart TV. Double doors open from here into the huge kitchen/diner.

Perfect for dinner parties, the room is full of natural light and has a chic country-style kitchen, an island with bar-style seating, and a dining suite with space for up to 14 people. A handy utility room offers additional space for food preparation and laundry, and there’s a further chef’s pantry where you can store supplies.
