Beautiful, comfortable stay

Beautiful and spacious cottage with fully stocked kitchen that fit our family of four perfectly. Warm and welcoming hosts. Welcome package and guides were appreciated. Close to several activities / attractions across Cotswolds and within ten minutes of a grocery store. Kids had a blast playing in the lovely gardens and playing fetch with the friendly dog. We would absolutely return should we ever find ourselves in the Cotswolds again, and would recommend this stay to everyone.

Lovely stay in Cotswolds

Lovely property in a Granary in a 1000 year old estate. Joanna & John were kind, caring and very accommodating of our needs. Would love to go back for a longer holiday there!

Cosy dog-friendly cottage

Lovely spacious cottage with everything you need. Location is great. Rural of course, but great for dogs and with shops and towns like Bourton and Stow within easy reach. Because it was winter and raining a lot, we spent a lot of time indoors and we felt very much at home.

Really pleasurable winter break at The Granary

My family had a wonderful stay at the Granary, which was perfectly located to enjoy the Cotswolds for a short winter break. The property is located on a beautiful estate close to the village of Naunton. It is well maintained, clean, warm, cosy, spacious and very well equipped with everything one could possibly need, including the lovely open fire. Our hosts were welcoming, charming and accommodating. Thank you for a pleasurable stay. We would love to visit again to enjoy the area in spring or summer.

About the host

Hosted by John & Jo Ireland

John and Jo bought Aylworth in 2002 as an ideal home to raise their family. Johnny is a dentist and works in Cheltenham, Jo worked in the city before 'retiring' to the country. They spend their time running the farm and looking after their guests and animals. As well as the Self Catering cottage Jo runs a bed and breakfast business from the Manor, spends quite some time in the garden and an inordinate amount of time with the horses and her dogs. Their two children are now in their twenties but enjoy spending time at Aylworth often with friends.

Why they chose this property

There has been a house at Aylworth since Medieval times, infact there is a mention of it in the Domesday Book. The house is surrounded by its farmland and a small hamlet of converted farm buildings. The house and Granary were remodelled in the Georgian era and was renovated by Johnny and Jo when they bought it.

What makes this property unique

There are stunning views over the Cotswolds hills and valleys, excellent walking, the property is situated on the Windrush Way footpath. Uniquely both Johnny and Jo are committed to renewable energy and conservation and the house and Granary are powered by PV panels and a biomass boiler.
