Tasteful Stanton Cottage

Property Description

Nestled in the centre of the peaceful and picturesque village of Stanton, in the heart of the Cotswolds, is the Hayloft. A charming 17th century converted Cotswold stone barn with many exposed beams, yet with a light and airy feel and good headroom for guests above 6'. Stanton is quintessentially Cotswolds, picture postcard pretty and a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Broadway with its many pubs and restaurants and a great delicatessen is just three miles away. The small but busy town of Stow-on-the-Wold with a large selection of interesting shops is nine miles distant. Winchcombe is a must for food lovers with a number of great eating hostelries. Cheltenham boasting the popular Gold Cup in March is 11 miles away. Stanton, which lies on the Cotswold Way, is a delight for walkers and cyclists, with trails to suit all abilities running from the village. Pubs at Snowshill and Broadway are both within walking distance.
For riders of all levels, horses can be hired at the renowned Jill Carenza Equestrian centre on the edge of the village. Steam enthusiasts can board the Gloucester and Warwickshire steam railway at Toddington (three miles) and mountain bikers have endless hilly trails to keep them busy.
The Mount Inn at top of the village has extensive views over both the village, the surrounding Cotswold countryside and the Vale of Evesham. Extremely popular, booking is recommended in this friendly, cosy public house serving good food and local Donnington Ale. The village is also home to a small garden nursery with a wonderful array of plants and a small farm shop selling local produce, including asparagus (in season), cheese and delicious sausages.
