Yew Tree Farm, built from local mellow limestone, dates from the mid 17th Century. The original farmhouse has been enlarged over the centuries, and is now a charming country house, where guests are warmly welcomed and invited to relax in traditional and elegant surroundings.
Approached via a long private drive through an apple and pear orchard, the house is a haven of peace and tranquility. It stands on the edge of a pretty village on the Warwickshire/Glous/Oxfordshire border, and offers unspoilt views over the garden and the Cotswold countryside beyond.
The double bedroom has a four poster bed with elegant drapes, while the single bedroom is small but characterful, with a comfortable bed and traditional furnishings.
Visitors are welcome to relax in the Hall beside the huge inglenook fireplace, which has a log fire burning in winter, or in the comfortable private sitting room on the second floor where there is a flat screen television and a large collection of books.
The owner, Lady Hereford, a keen and knowledgeable gardener, has transformed the grounds of her home into a beautiful and imaginative garden, full of surprises and wonderful vistas.
Private tours of the gardens, guided by the owner, are available to visitors between May and October. Visits to other private gardens in the area, such as Kiftsgate or Hidcote, can also be arranged.
