About this property

Romantic Holidays For Two In 17th Century Cotswold Cottage

Ninds Farm Cottage was once part of the much larger Ninds Farm House. Dating from the later 17th Century, this private wing of the farmhouse had become unfashionable by the end of the 18th century and was partitioned off to form a separate cottage and a curved stair turret was added at the back to allow access to the upper floor. A smaller fireplace was inserted into the original one in the sitting room and the large single bedroom was partitioned into two; the horsehair and lime plaster partitions still remain although the back room now forms the bathroom. Many other original features remain and the present owner has left much untouched while providing a warm and comfortable holiday retreat.
Willersey is a small, pretty village, friendly and lively with local amenities including two churches, two pubs serving good food, garage, and a village pond. Both pubs are dog-friendly and excellent walking country is on the doorstep. The iconic village of Broadway is one and half miles away, with its galleries, restaurants and shops. A variety of landscapes surround the village as it is an excellent base from which to explore north Cotswolds towns such as Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, Burford, Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh as well as the smaller villages which have inspired writers like Laurie Lee and J.M. Barrie. Shakespeare’s Warwickshire is also easily and quickly accessible as is the Vale of Evesham. The Cottage is a short journey from Cheltenham and its race course making it an ideal spot to stay in Gold Cup Week. Worcester is less than an hour away with its Cathedral (burial place of King John and Prince Arthur), race course and shops. The Ninds Farm Cottage page on Facebook has some ideas of places to go and what’s on locally and also some links to websites guests might find interesting. It is always work in progress.

The present accommodation comprises the following:
Lounge
A comfortable Parker Knoll settee, comfy chair, and two joint stools and refectory table made for the cottage by Welsh furniture maker Haddon Gardiner, provide a place to sit, eat or relax in front of the television and the open fire. The television has Freeview TV and a DVD player.
Kitchen
Compact but well-equipped, with electric cooker, microwave, and fridge with freezer box. An iron and ironing board are provided. Larder.
Conservatory
A table and two chairs allow a light space for summer breakfasts and a cool floor for hot doggies. The downstairs toilet is accessed from the conservatory as is the small enclosed yard.
Outside
A small rockery, garden table and chairs, and the wood store.
Upstairs Landing
With cupboard containing vacuum cleaner, clothes-airer, and additional blankets and pillows. Switch for the water heater.
Bathroom
Washbasin, toilet, and bath with hand-held shower over.
Bedroom
Double bed, chest of drawers, wardrobe, two nursing chairs and a charming window seat to the front of the house.

Quiet weekend away
Lovely quiet weekend away with our dogs. The cottage is lovely and the owner has kept the old fashioned charm. Lots of places to visit nearby. Great base to explore. Take a torch if you plan to walk to either of the village pubs at night. The touches of milk, tea, coffee and of course the wine were very welcome.

Wonderful little cottage in a beautiful village
Property spotlessly clean and very well stocked. Perfect cosy place to stay. Broadway is walkable in about 35/40 minutes but take a torch as not all sections of the path are lit. Host responds to any queries promptly. Highly recommend

About the host

Hosted by Kerry Moreton

Host profile image
I bought the cottage in September 2012 as part of a lifelong interest in England’s history and architectural heritage. I have been involved in promoting the Vale of Evesham’s history in other ways previously and the cottage gives me a new opportunity to share the heritage of the area in another, more intimate, way. I did a little work to the cottage to make it cosy but think it important to retain as much of the old fabric as possible, so that the cottage is still allowed to tell its story. This is the only cottage I let, so it isn’t part of a large concern. I live in the next village, (although I now work in Birmingham), and have a strong connection to the locality. My aim is to provide a comfortable and inspiring place from which to explore the Vale and the North Cotswolds.

Why they chose this property

I bought a property in Willersey because I believe in being hands-on with the property and being part of the local economy. I live less than two miles away and so could walk there if necessary. Willersey is a lovely village too without being over-commercialised, although that sort of thing isn't too far away.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is small and warm, and quirky. It is convenient for walkers being close to numerous footpaths which lead onto the North Cotswold Hills. There are two pubs in the village which serve food which you have to walk to, the furthest one would take you all of 90 seconds to reach.
If you want to go further afield for something to eat and don't mind a couple of miles there and back, Broadway is just on the doorstep.
It's quiet but not so remote you think the world has ended.
Above all it's romantic. The perfect place for two lovers and their dog...
