Luxury Holiday Rentals in Cotswolds
Welcome to Dryhill Farm, a luxury holiday retreat nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds. Our properties, set within 14 acres of private land, combine historical charm with modern comforts, offering panoramic views and exclusive access to a working vineyard. Originally part of a Roman Villa Rustica dating back to 76 AD, our estate features a vaulted cellar built with Roman bricks and terraces replanted with Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Noir vines. We provide elegantly appointed accommodations with luxury linens, woodburning stoves, and timber hot tubs, ensuring a serene environment for relaxation. Our rewilding efforts over 30 years have created thriving ecosystems with wildflower meadows, ancient woodlands, and diverse wildlife, including owls, buzzards, and rare Belted Galloway cattle.Located just five miles from Cheltenham Spa, we offer easy access to iconic Cotswold villages, historic sites, and cultural festivals. We curate unique experiences such as vineyard tours, wine tastings, and private events in our Moroccan bar or orangery. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our recognition as one of Britain's 50 best holiday houses. With high-speed internet, curated music systems, and personalized service, we ensure both connectivity and tranquillity. We look forward to welcoming you to your new home in the Cotswolds.
