The Experience
This former stable made of Cotswold stone stands alone at the head of the Golden Valley and has spectacular views out over fields and ancient woodland. Dan and Ali live in the main farmhouse; you can buy eggs if the hens are laying too.
The sitting room is cosy with an open fire (logs provided), and there are books, games and a folder full of useful things to know. Cook together in the well-equipped kitchen and eat around the table, or grill your supper on the barbecue while you watch the sun go down.
Fantastic walks lead from the door – the farm itself is 70 acres – and many pass local pubs; the nearest is The Crown Inn in Frampton Mansell, 15 minutes’ walk away. Take the canal towpath to Stroud for shops, restaurants, and an excellent farmers’ market on Saturdays – if you buy too much to carry you can get a taxi back.

We had a lovely time at Hornstone Cottage for New Year. ….. When we arrived, there was a breakfast hamper waiting on the table (organic eggs, milk and butter and many other delicious things) and there were lots of lovely little touches, tea and coffee and milk (organic), a Christmas card and a beautiful Christmas tree lights twinkling through the cottage's window. The place was very warm (warmer than we expected), clean and has everything needed for cooking. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and we would definitely recommend it and would go there again in the future!

Location
The neighbourhood
A nature-based escape for couples, families, hikers, and dogs. The farm is home to butterflies, orchids, wildflowers, buzzards, kites, roe deer and 30 acres of Designated Ancient Woodland. Public footpaths link with the Wysis Way and the Bathurst Estate at Cirencester. Artisan and local treats, as well as good coffee and burgers, can be found at The Jolly Nice Farm Shop and Deli – a five-minute drive.
Local points of interest from Dan & Ali
- Saddle up... Get on your horse, bareback or on a saddle. The owners can take novices and more experienced riders on a trek through the woods on their three steady ponies, Sailor, Carrot and Rolo. You might even get as far as the pub. Please book ahead.
- Local flavours… Stroud, just 4 miles from the farm, boasts the nation’s premier farmers’ market, as well as a vibrant cultural scene, bars, a cinema and the truly fab Stroud Brewery, organic, local and serving pizza and music at weekends.
- Take a hike… the farm is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, and there are several walks that start and finish on the property – many of them passing one of the many wonderful traditional Cotswold pubs.
- Swing a club… the neighbouring Minchinhampton Common, a remarkable hilltop site with Iron Age and Bronze Age features as well as roaming cattle, is also home to one of the wildest golf courses this side of Scotland. A uniquely challenging experience.
- Take a dip… indulge your inner adventurer at the Cotswold Water Park, offering an enormous array of activities, from wakeboarding to angling.
- Past pleasures… history comes alive at Berkeley Castle, where you can peek at the room where Edward II was reputedly murdered, or marvel at the sumptuous setting of Sudeley Castle, where Katherine Parr, Henry VIII's last wife, is buried.

Introducing
Dan & Ali
Dan and Ali (a journalist and an artist) fell in love with the Stroud valleys before moving in 2017 to Westley Farm. They are an engaging and delightful couple who are bursting with ideas for future projects, from making honey from wildflower meadows to offering horse livery stays. They have a passion to re-jig the gardens, be organic and, wherever possible, use local craftsmen; note the hand-crafted holiday yurts.
Hornstone cottage provided the perfect getaway. ...Waking to birdsong each morning was a joy. Discovering the wooded area which at this time of the year is polluted with wild garlic and bluebells was food to the soul. Each member of our holiday party felt welcomed and restored by this get away. All of us felt privileged to be able to share a little slice of the heavenly area that Dan and Ali are able to call home. Having stayed here with my oldest friends I cannot wait to return to this wonderful place with my immediate family.
