Whalley Farm offers superior quality bed and breakfast accommodation in the Cotswolds just 4 miles from Cheltenham

If you are visiting Cheltenham and the Cotswolds and looking for somewhere to stay, Whalley Farm can offer you quality bed and breakfast accommodation on a working family-owned dairy farm. We have four guest rooms available, all with their own bathrooms.

Located amongst rolling Cotswold countryside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Whalley Farm is on the edge of the village of Whittington, just 4 miles from the Regency Spa town of Cheltenham. The world famous Cotswold Way Natural Trail passes near to the farm. The glorious rural location of the farm means that you will require your own transport to get to us, and to get around the local area.

Gill Rowe is the proud owner of the bed and breakfast and looks after her guests personally. The farmhouse has been awarded a four star rating and a silver award by Enjoy England. We strive to provide exceptional quality in all areas but in particular in service and hospitality.

The Grade II listed farmhouse was built in the 1600's, although there is strong evidence of Roman connections. The West Wing was added in the 18th Century and a South Wing in the 20th Century. Full of charm, you will come across the original flagstone floors, lovely beams and stone walls as you make your way through the house.

You can rest your head and feast on a hearty traditional breakfast in welcoming luxury. Breakfast can be taken in the dining room or in the cosy kitchen. You can enjoy a rest in front of the roaring winter log fire in the sitting room where a wide range of reading material is available, including local guides, maps and booklets about the Cotswolds and Cheltenham.

After a day sightseeing in the Cotswolds, relax in the sitting room with stone walls and exposed beams.

The views from the guest bedrooms and the farm itself across the Cotswold Hills is truly breathtaking, whichever way you turn. Whether you like to sit and watch, walk, cycle, wander sleepy villages, explore the local towns and cities, it is all within easy reach of the calm tranquility of Whalley Farm.

With the farm being in the Rowe family since the 1930's, Gill has extensive knowledge of the local areas and is more than happy to suggest a variety of places to enjoy.

If your preference is to stay around the farm and the adjoining woodlands, we can offer use of the farmhouse tennis courts. The pretty garden provides a great place to sit and relax. Guests often walk onto the downs overlooking the farm and watch the sunset whilst enjoying a picnic.

The farm is the home of the Woldtop Herd of high quality pedigree dairy cattle, and we rear our own Holstein Friesian calves. If you are interested in learning more about the cows, then our Herd Manager will be happy to chat with you. You can even lend a hand in the milking parlour or if you are here during the calving season, watch a calf being born.

Regrettably, the bed and breakfast and surrounding farm areas are unsuitable for very young children, and so we are unable to take bookings if you intend on bringing children under the age of twelve years old. Children over the age of twelve are most welcome. Sorry!
