About this property

Pool Meadow cottage - Knollands Farm

Enjoying panoramic views, this sympathetically converted barn is outstandingly comfortable, with ornamental brick fireplace in the living room and is ideally placed for relaxing or exploring. Set in 50 acres of grounds which boast a wealth of wildlife, it is close to the owners home, enjoying its own small garden and patio. The delightful market town of Shipston on Stour (1 mile away) offers shops and an excellent choice of inns and restaurants, Shakespeare's Stratford and the village of Chipping Campden are both within 20 minutes by car. Warwick Castle, Stow-on-the-Wold and NT properties are also nearby. Whilst the cottage has a quiet, rural setting, it benefits from a Fibre broadband internet connection to keep guests “connected”.

Great place to stay

We had a lovely week here - it's a splendid, quiet, comfortable place to stay, with a most helpful and friendly host. The owners are just around the corner if needed but the cottage is completely self-contained and private. It has all the equipment we needed and more and even had sufficient power points!

Great place to stay

If you are looking for a quiet place to relax or a place to visit Stow on Wold, Bourton on the Water, Stratford upon Avon and more this is the ideal place. The cottage has everything you need. There are local shops, places to eat & car hire. Loved our stay here and would not hesitate to book it again!

This house was perfect for the 4 of us. Beautiful view, great location, very clean. Only complaint was the neighbor's dog everytime we were on the deck trying to fish the dog was trying to get our cast and barking. The white metal bed was very squeaky but pillows and bedding was comfy. Overall was a great little place to stay. Thank you!

Liked: Location
This property in in a very central location for exploring the Cotswolds and surrounding area. It is in a peaceful location about a mile or so to the east of the pretty town of Shipston-on-Stour. The property is very secluded and secure and is on a sheep farm. Tom's cottage had been beautifully converted from a barn/outbuildings into a lovely character cottage with many original features - beams etc. There is parking right outside. We were met by Tom who showed us the property and explained various procedures, and apart from then we didn't see him again although we thought we saw him on a few occasions driving his tractor through the adjacent field. That said, Tom was readily contactable by mobile. The cottage itself was presented very clean and welcoming. There is a spacious lounge/kitchen area (very well equipped with dishwasher and fridge) and the lounge area had two (quite low) sofas facing a large inglenook fireplace - containing an 'electric' wood burner. The bathroom contains toilet, bath and 2 showers - one in a cubicle and one above the bath. There is a double bedroom and a twin bedroom. At the end of the corridor is a washing machine. The central heating was very effective. From the double entry doors and patio area there is a lovely view out over the fields to the surrounding hills. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property and at some point in the future we may return. Thank you Tom.

Relaxing, peaceful lovely views

Host very friendly, showed us around garden area when we first arrived, including showing us Hercules , a baby lamb abandoned by its mum so being hand reared by them, then left us to our own devices but where near by if needed. Accomodation was lovely with great views, and visits from all kinds of birds and rabbits and hares and we even seen deers on a couple of occasions . The local village has a handfull of shops and plenty of places to go for an evening meal. Stratford upon Avon and Banbury nice places for a visit. Also the car museum was a great day out. We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Swift

Host profile image

My wife and I purchased Knollands Farm in 2012. We have one daughter, This small farm (50 acres) is our family home and we are on hand to help assist our holiday cottage guests with recommendations for inns/restaurants/days out if they desire any guidance.

The cottage has been enjoyed by guests for around 20 years. It was advertised through Hoseasons brochure for many years, however, we decided in 2012 that we could offer our clients better value for money by using owners direct.

Why they chose this property

The property is excellently located being close (1 mile) to the lovely market town of Shipston on Stour (which has a super range of independent shops, inns and restaurants).
The cottage is set in a private position with stunning countryside views.
The Cotswold village of Chipping Camden is also close by and Shakespeare's Stratford only 10 miles away.

What makes this property unique

The cottage was converted from a agricultural barn in 1995 using reclaimed brick and timber beams. It is well insulated with oil fired central heating so provides a lovely cosy environment to return home to after a day exploring the Cotswolds. The cottage is the only accommodation on the farm other than the farm house so provides guests with a quiet and private space.
