The Hayloft at Walnut Farm, Kingscote, Cotswolds

The Hayloft is a luxurious Cotswold holiday home with exposed oak beams, wood burning stove and stylish furnishings set in wonderfully peaceful countryside. This restored farm building has been renovated with love and attention to detail. A spacious, living-dining-kitchen area, dressing room and shower room with a super-king-size bed on a mezzanine floor. Outside is a delightful courtyard-garden with patio-terrace, Mediterranean-style veranda, surrounded by verdant planting and lily pond. The space The Hayloft is sits in a tranquil location, within the grounds of Walnut Farm - a nine-acre smallholding in the Cotswolds that’s surrounded by open countryside with just a few neighbouring properties. We live in the converted barn across the courtyard. Yet despite the rural area, The Hayloft is within a 10-minute drive of the two fabulous, but not-too-busy, Cotswold towns of Tetbury - an antiques lover’s dream - and Nailsworth - a foodie and home interiors lover’s dream! At the Hayloft, you have your own private, enclosed, courtyard garden with patio and lily pond, which is the perfect place to relax on hot summer days, plus a stylish Mediterranean-style, open veranda to enjoy sitting in on cooler evenings or warmer but wet days. There is private parking for two cars within a secure courtyard. As you step through the front door, you’ll immediately feel the Hayloft’s relaxing atmosphere. The interior has been designed and decorated in order to create a luxurious and comfortable haven. This is set against the unique and verdant backdrop of the courtyard garden peeking at you through the kitchen and French windows. The bright, double-height, generously sized living area, with exposed beams, features a large wood burning stove set on a stone hearth, with a basket of logs to use during the chilly months. The downstairs living area and dressing room have beautiful polished-wood flooring throughout. A bespoke spiral staircase leads up to the glass and oak framed, mezzanine-floor-bedroom with its super cosy ambience, where you can sleep amongst the stars in the soft and welcoming super-king sized bed. Just off the open-plan living area is a spacious dressing room and a shower room. Guest access Guests have full and exclusive access to The Hayloft and its private courtyard-garden.
