African slate floor with rugs throughout cottage. This ground floor cottage is is wheelchair accessible via the newly built pathway and private garden with hot tub.

Chestnut, on the ground floor of the main converted barn is spacious and luxurious for two people. Its calm and tranquil atmosphere together with direct access out on to the sun trapped terrace leaves guests feeling deeply refreshed and restored.

Access to Chestnut is down brick and terracotta tiled steps leading to a small tiled outside area with solid stone slab bench. From the front door, a small lobby leads into the solid oak kitchen. You then pass through beautiful solid ash double doors set in a wooden screen to reach the comfortable living and dining area. An unusual open fire, exposed joists and beams and African slate floor make this a most sumptuous apartment. A large sofa bed allows two extra guests to be accommodated.

The bedroom, through a curtained wooden archway features a curved window seat and reading table with a lovely view of the pond and Cotswold valley beyond. There are internal wooden shutters which makes your sleeping area feel secluded and calm. The luxurious ensuite bathroom features oak panelling and African slate floor. It has a large walk in shower.
Relax in armchairs in front of the elegant oak-framed French windows or step straight out in to the sun trapped courtyard where you’ll find your own seating area nestled between the potted Lemon tree and Hydrangea.

There's now a private terraced garden with sunken Hot Tub which has stunning views down to the pond and valley beyond. The garden is on two levels with wheelchair access to both levels. Beautifully handcrafted weaved hazel fencing with chestnut hardwood seating all from wood from the farm together with ornate brick floors gives a beautiful ambience to make you feel as if you're abroad!

Again nice stay
For the third time we stayed at the Heath Farm, this time in the Chestnut. A very nice place, good beds, good shower and kitchen. Also for a longer stay. We will be back most certainly!

Chestnut review
Lovely secluded getaway. Helpful hosts on site and clean and comfortable accommodation with a good sized hot tub and relaxing surroundings. Really enjoyed our stay and would go back. Order the sourdough. You won’t regret it. :)

Far from normal
This was our forth visit to Heath Farm and the third in Chesnut. Our first three visits took place around 10 to 12 years ago. The whole place is just amazing! The accommodation is beyond clean, beyond idyllic, beyond homely, and probably beyond everything you’ve seen in accommodation of this type. David and Nena still live and run heath Farm and are now well into theirs 80s, and this life obviously suits them as they are both active in running the farm with the help of their family. On the surface little had changed since our last visit but all the appliances had been replaced, a beautiful walk in shower had replaced the bath and the cottage now has its own hot tub which looks over the valley towards the lake. This is perfectly placed to visit the towns of The Cotswolds and other attractions in the area ( don’t miss crocodiles of the world attraction) How the Barbours have kept this place as perfect as they have is testament to how the whole place is presented. We will return as we can relax comfortably here. Absolutely no minus points at all. Complimentary cake, muesli and milk on arrival and absolutely fantastic hosts. We can throughly recommend chesnut cottage at Heath Farm. As an aside our first three visits were usually the first week in December, when my wife would bring an extra suitcase and we would vist towns during the day and buy Christmas presents, and in the evening she would wrap them and we would go home with a case full of gifts ready for Christmas.

A really nice quirky cottage, beautifully decorated and furnished. We were made very welcome by the owners, and enjoyed the spotlessly clean hot tub, and extensive gardens and woods. The owners had thought of everything and the cottage was very well equipped. A lovely holiday.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in such beautiful surroundings. The accommodation was immaculate and spotlessly clean.
