The farm has been in our family for over three decades and until recently we lived in the farmhouse, before undertaking the renovation works and turning it into a holiday home. We are now thrilled to be able to welcome you to come and stay. If you need anything during your stay we haven’t moved far! Kate (daughter) and her family live next door and her parents live in a converted barn at the back of the farm, so there will be someone here to greet you on arrival and give you a warm welcome to Downhouse Farm. We are always happy to have a chat about the local area and things to do nearby. We are in a beautiful rural setting, located just minutes walk from the Cotswold Way. It's a perfect base for both short walks or a more challenging hike. There are so many things to see and do locally, from taking the family to visit the oldest inhabited castle in England, getting close to nature at our local WWT wetland reserve or letting the kids go wild at the Cattle Country Adventure Park. Or you can take a drive to surrounding cities, like the historic City of Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage Centre and the City of Bristol with its iconic street art and stunning suspension bridge. The historic market town of Dursley is approximately 1 mile away in a wooded valley, and hosts a variety of independent shops, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Ideal to pop out to for a spot of brunch or dinner, to stock up on some essentials, or to relax in the charming CAMRA pub for a pint in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
