Carriers Farm nestles in the Cotswolds overlooking The MacMillan Way just outside Sherston. This picturesque village is one of England's ancient boroughs and boasts a beautiful 12^th Century church. The high street comprises the most eclectic mix of wonderful buildings built over several centuries at the end of which is a Post Office and shop. It is the setting for the annual “International Boules Festival”.

Since retiring as a working farm, the 14 acres in which it sits have become a wildlife haven including roe deer and badger. The old Victorian milking parlour has been thoughtfully converted to 3 double en-suite bedrooms and a good nights sleep is almost guaranteed in the peaceful surroundings with the dawn chorus of birds your only morning alarm.

Your choice of breakfast includes a hearty traditional English using local produce or something lighter if preferred and is normally served in the farmhouse from 7.30 until 9.30. If you want an early or late start just let us know. The area abounds with country pubs where you can snack, lunch or dine or maybe just enjoy a pint. All tastes are catered for at our three excellent local pubs. For lovers of fine dining we are five minutes from the Michelin starred Whatley manor.

We are literally minutes from the National tree collection at Westonbirt Arboretum in one direction and Badminton, home of the famous horse trials and the Beaufort Hunt, in the other. Within a 15 minute drive you can be in the historic market towns of Malmesbury, last resting place of Athelstan, first King of England and Tetbury with Prince Charles' Highgrove shop or Castle Combe, known as the prettiest village in England. It also has a motor racing circuit where you can “have a Go”!

Between 30 minutes and an hour away are the Georgian City of Bath; historic yet vibrant waterfronts at Bristol and Gloucester; Spa town of Cheltenham with its race course, home of the Gold Cup; Roman Cirencester; Tewksbury and its famous Abbey and Swindon, once the home of The Great Western Railway, now known for great shopping at the Outlet Village.

For those who just want to get away from it all we are surrounded by beautiful walks with glorious views. A packed lunch can be provided on request.

All this and we are less than an hour from Bristol international airport and 90 minutes from Heathrow.
