Churchill House - pet friendly, arboretum garden near Daylesford

Escape to this beautifully rural corner of the Cotswolds, where awe-inspiring views surround you and country pubs are at every turn. Churchill House becomes your home from home where you feel at ease from the moment you arrive.

This beautiful house is full of surprises, with two reception rooms, an elegant dining room and a very well-equipped kitchen. Each space is dressed with antique furniture, rich fabrics and conversation starting artworks which add character throughout. With a drawing room overlooking the sweeping grounds it's hard to resist spending time here playing chess with your favourite tipple after a family dinner together at the dining table. While there is plenty of space to gather the whole group, there are also quiet corners to squirrel yourself away with a hot drink for a moment alone. On the first floor, each of the four bedrooms has its own en-suite. The master suite has the added benefit of a dressing room so there's plenty of space to put the suitcases away and to get ready for an evening at The Chequers just down the road.

What catches your eye at every turn at Churchill House is the garden and the views beyond. Step outside and spot the church tower in Stow-on-the-Wold on the skyline before you explore the arboretums and hidden gardens. Sculptures catch the light and guide you through this fantastic space. With around 15 acres to explore it is perfect for children to play, for lazy picnics and for taking the dogs for a stroll.
