Winchcombe 2.6 miles.
This quaint, converted Freight Wagon sits in a quiet corner of a farm, overlooking fields, just south of the village of Alderton.
Enjoying a quiet setting with everything you need on-hand, The Freight Wagon is the perfect break for couples looking to escape normality and spend some time in Gloucestershire.
Accessed via a long drive before turning into your own private corner of the field, outside the wagon sits a gravelled garden with sun loungers, table and chairs, perfect for when the sun is out.
Take a few steps up and head inside, discovering this small but well-appointed space.
The kitchenette features an electric pan, microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster, so you can whip up the basics, plus there is an on-site horsebox that sells farm produce, so you won’t have to travel far for the essentials.
Head into the shower room for a freshen up before climbing into bed and dreaming about the adventures to come.
Watch the heritage steam train trundle along the tracks across the open fields or greet the sheep in the fields close by.
Take a stroll to our lake where wildfowl frequent or continue onto one of the many footpaths over the hills through woodland to the village of Alderton, home to a post office and a pub.
Further afield lies the ancient Saxon town of Winchcombe, home to a range of inns, restaurants, team rooms and shops set along the main street.
Winchcombe also hosts an annual walking festival in May which boasts a variety of walks with local guides, orienteering and evening events.
Elsewhere you can meet the animals at Cotswold Farm Park, visit Sudeley Castle and explore one of the many National Trust properties dotted around the region.
Ten miles away is the popular spa town of Cheltenham, known for its bustling horse racing festival, whilst Tewkesbury is a great base for exploring along the River Severn and Avon.
If you fancy a change of scenery, the city of Gloucester is home to a great selection of pubs, bars, high street shops and restaurants, plus there is a stunning cathedral that cannot be missed.
Escape to The Freight Wagon for a charming Gloucestershire retreat.
