Family friendly holiday accommodation Cotswolds

Family friendly accommodation near the Cotswolds

A warm welcome for your family on a working farm

As parents of three young children, we know just how difficult it can be trying to keep everyone happy on holiday! Finding the right family-friendly accommodation can make all the difference. Elm Tree Farm is a working sheep and arable farm and there’s always something going on. All of our cottages overlook the farm fields, where you’ll be able to see our resident cows, sheep and chickens. We’re a working farm, but if you visit at the right time of year there’s sometimes the opportunity to feed baby lambs or collect chicken eggs.

Each our of cottages overlooks a central courtyard and there is a slide and play frame at the back. There are gates protecting the entrance to the courtyard so your family will be completely safe.

Everything has been thought of in our beautiful cottages

Our four stunning 1 and 2 bedroom cottages sleep 1-6 guests and are fitted with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Everything is provided to create a home from home, so all you need to bring is food, your belongings and yourselves.

All four cottages at Elm Tree Farm have underfloor heating to keep you cosy during the colder months, blackout curtains to help you get a good night’s sleep, as well as luxury bed linen and towels. The fully-fitted kitchens include contemporary units, a fridge-freezer, an oven and hob, a microwave, a toaster, a kettle, a dishwasher and a washing machine. We also provide all those little kitchen essentials that it can be easy to overlook, like tea, coffee and sugar, salt, pepper, tea towels, dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid.

To keep you connected, each property has speedy and reliable PlusNet Wi-Fi, as well as USB charger points / ports to keep your devices fully charged.
