Nethercote Arches

Nethercote Arches

Nethercote Arches is a barn conversion, completed in the Spring of 1993.
This mellow old stone building is situated in the tranquil, tiny hamlet of Nethercote, midway between Great Wolford and Little Wolford on the edge of the Cotswolds. Although it is quietly tucked away, it is very easily accessible from three main roads (see map on location page). Indeed, so quiet is it that it is actually mentioned in 'The Book of Lost Villages,' there having been an ancient settlement behind the farm on which Nethercote Fields is situated.
The Building itself is around one hundred years old and was originally used as stables - horses and sheep still live at Nethercote Farm, which is a working farm, and Nethercote Arches enjoys a lovely view to the North across rolling farmland to the hills.
The accommodation, which is on two floors, is carefully planned. No effort has been spared to provide comfort and quality - in fact, the aim of the owners is to give the guests the very high standards of living that they enjoy in their own homes. There are two tastefully decorated bedrooms, sleeping four people in all, one double with basin and toilet en suite, and one double/twin- with separate bathroom and shower; the high quality of all the fittings is evident even at a cursory glance. This same quality is displayed in the exceptionally well-fitted kitchen/dining room. The units themselves are oak, and there is a washing machine/dryer and fridge/freezer. No need to bring your own towels and bed linen, as this is all provided in your rental. We are sorry, but we cannot allow dogs, but children are welcome, and cot and baby-sitting are available on request from the owners.

Perhaps the most delightful feature of this property, which gives it an air of tradition and grace, is the spacious sitting room with its lovely old original beams. The wide patio doors make this a very light and bright room, even on a dull day. Soft fitted carpet and electric log fire in a Cotswold stone fireplace complete a really comfortable room in which to relax. The whole property is generously fitted with radiators. There is also a pay phone for outgoing and incoming calls.

Swimming Pool Guests may also use the outdoor heated swimming pool which is next to the patio, but behind locked gates for children's safety.
