The Experience
The garden is incredibly romantic: no hard lines, just soft flowing curves, banks of bluebells in spring, rare plants and mature trees, a sunken white garden and many roses, including the famous Kiftsgate Rose. In May and June the scents will be delicious and you have the place all to yourselves when the visitors go home. Right at the bottom you’ll discover a cold water pool which the brave can swim in.
Sleep comfortably in large, traditional bedrooms with high ceilings, huge windows, a serene atmosphere and views of the garden; bedrooms (four en suite, three sharing a bathroom) are traditional and spacious. Light the fire in the drawing room or sitting room, play the grand piano, choose a book from many shelves, play tennis, cook in the big kitchen with its walk-in larder. Find fresh flowers, a bottle of wine and maybe something baked.
Visit the tea shop, buy plants or walk (one hour) to a good pub, The Ebrington Arms.

We stayed at Kiftsgate Court Gardens for three nights and absolutely loved the place! The rooms are big and warm and the gardens are wonderful. Rob was a friendly and helpful host. I’d highly recommend Kiftsgate Court, and we will be returning in future.

Kiftsgate Court is a delightful, spacious home with exceptional gardens - a real treat for garden lovers. It's a beautiful area with plenty of good walks nearby and quaint Cotswold towns such as Chipping Campden and Broadway just a short drive away.

Location
The neighbourhood
You're perched on a hill above Mickleton in the North Cotswolds for superb views. Across the lane is Hidcote Manor Garden, also open to the public. Drive ten minutes to Chipping Campden, the start and end point of the Cotswold Way - 102 miles of grand walking. Blockley, Broadway, Stow-on-the-Wold are all worth exploring for independent shops and antiques. Stratford is 20 minutes by car.
Local points of interest from Rob Chambers
- There are some excellent walks to local pubs in the area. The nearest is a walk down the hill into Mickleton to the Kings Arms and if you are looking for a longer walk you can go over the hill to the Ebrington Arms and also to The Howard Arms in Ilmington.
- In Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare, you can rent a rowing boat and meander along the river Avon or if you prefer dry land the Butterfly Farm is a tropical experience with a world class selection of the beautiful flying insects.
- The Michelin starred Salt on Church St in Stratford is perfect for food lovers. Other local gastronomic highlights include The Bower House in Shipston-on-Stour, the Michelin starred Royal Oak at Whatcote, and The Churchill Arms in Paxford.
- Broadway is a beautiful town with a number of interesting sites including Broadway tower which sits a short (but steep) walk from the centre and from which you can take in fantastic views over the countryside while enjoying a drink and snack from the café.
- There are 2 Capability Brown landscaped estates nearby - Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, is a spectacular place to explore. Killingworth Castle is run by Claire and Jim, or head to Compton Verney for its beautiful parkland.
- Chipping Campden is a beautiful nearby town with a number of pubs and restaurants including the Eight Bells Inn and Michael’s Mediterranean. If the sun’s out drop into the Ernest Wilson Memorial Garden or Covent Garden Academy of Flowers for a workshop.

Introducing
Rob Chambers
Rob has inherited the house and gardens from his mother, Anne Chambers, the third generation of women gardeners to tend and evolve the gardens. He works in London part of the week but will pop in at some stage and check you have all you need. There are staff wandering about outside as well as visitors when the gardens are open.
I couldn't recommend Kiftsgate more, the house is absolutely beautiful and the gardens were stunning. It was the perfect setting for our weekend away and the house is very well equipped with everything you could need. Hope to come back soon!
