Located in Broadway, this attractive cottage for $106 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Ninds Farm Cottage was once part of the much larger Ninds Farm House. Dating from the later 17th Century, this private wing of the farmhouse had become unfashionable by the end of the 18th century and was partitioned off to form a separate cottage and a curved stair turret was added at the back to allow access to the upper floor. A smaller fireplace was inserted into the original one in the sitting room and the large single bedroom was partitioned into two; the horsehair and lime plaster partitions still remain although the back room now forms the bathroom. Many other original features remain and the present owner has left much untouched while providing a warm and comfortable holiday retreat. Willersey is a small, pretty village, friendly and lively with local amenities including two churches, two pubs serving good food, garage, and a village pond. Both pubs are dog-friendly and excellent walking country is on the doorstep. The iconic village of Broadway is one and half miles away, with its galleries, restaurants and shops. A variety of landscapes surround the village as it is an excellent base from which to explore north Cotswolds towns such as Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, Burford, Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh as well as the smaller villages which have inspired writers like Laurie Lee and J.M. Barrie. Shakespeare’s Warwickshire is also easily and quickly accessible as is the Vale of Evesham. The Cottage is a short journey from Cheltenham and its race course making it an ideal spot to stay in Gold Cup Week. Worcester is less than an hour away with its Cathedral (burial place of King John and Prince Arthur), race course and shops. The Ninds Farm Cottage page on Facebook has some ideas of places to go and what’s on locally and also some links to websites guests might find interesting. It is always work in progress.
