I stayed for a week at Heathfarm cottages with my farm during the summer (Chestnut cottage). The accommodation and facilities were top notch and the setting was glorious. The hosts (Mon and Abi) are super friendly and they were at pains to ensure we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
I can thoroughly recommend Heathfarm and will definitely stay with them again

Great place to spend time in the Cotswolds
Heath Farm Holiday Cottages is a great place to spend a holiday. We stayed in Chestnut which was very well appointed. A big bonus was the wonderful country view from the hot tub. Friendly owners and staff were always available to assist. Close to many wonderful walks and places to visit.

Always brilliant
We’ve been coming to Heath Farm for five years now and always enjoy our stay immensely whichever cottage we stay in. It is so wonderfully nurturing and walks around the woods and down by the pond are relaxing and so peaceful.

really lovely accommodation in beautiful Cotswolds!
Heath Farm is lovely! Chestnut is a beautiful accommodation: spacious, cosy, well equipted, beautiful furnished with lovely details of quality craftsmanship. Chestnut comes with a private garden with view at the lake and sunset. The jacuzzi was perfect to relax after long walks in The Cotswolds. We will visit Heath Farm again, for sure!

Favorite vacation stay, ever…
What an absolutely perfect hideaway….we wished we could stay forever! The cottage, the amenities, the family who look after you, the location. We wanted for nothing. Arrived to complementary fresh bread, coffee, milk and a delicious lemon loaf. Also was able to order additional bread and the best apple juice. A washer and dryer were available for our use. Just a really beautiful property done right. We imagine it would be lovely to visit year round. So comfortable…great WiFi, Smart tv, free firewood. Everyone was so helpful with suggestions of what to see and do. And food suggestions were the best…
Overall, this was probably our favorite stay of many years. We hope to return and have the Chestnut to ourselves again! Thank you to the Barbour family for sharing their home….

A wonderful stay at Heath Farm
We had a wonderful stay at Heath Farm. The hosts were fantastic. We stayed in Chestnut which was beautiful and very comfortable. Well stocked kitchen.
The place was very clean and had everything we needed to make our stay perfect.
The welcome pack was a nice touch and the cakes from the bakers on site was device.
The grounds and surrounding areas are a pleasure to walk around, just be mindfull of the main road, it can get busy.
We will definitely return.

Dickens Golden Wedding weekend
Everything was brilliant. We booked the whole site for the weekend- 10 adults & 12 children. So much to do - wonderful games facilities & equipment. We had our own sports day & also played rounders , football, cricket, & croquet. Mon very kindly set up a huge slippy slide for us ( blessed with hot weather) Then we also had the hot tubs, & the lake for fishing, paddleboarding, boating & swimming.

Wonderful stay at Heath Farm
We had 10 lovely days in Chestnut Cottage at Heath Farm. The cottage was so well set up, immaculately clean and comfortable and such a charming place to stay. The setting is just beautiful and the location was perfect for us to explore the many interesting places in the Cotswolds that we wanted to visit. Very friendly staff, family working there. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you.

Chestnut
A really nice quirky cottage, beautifully decorated and furnished. We were made very welcome by the owners, and enjoyed the spotlessly clean hot tub, and extensive gardens and woods. The owners had thought of everything and the cottage was very well equipped. A lovely holiday.

A perfect location to recharge!
Just wow! Beautiful location and a property that has everything you could wish for. Cozy, luxury, beautiful. Incredible views from the hot tub, and then time to curl up on the sofa in front of the fire. The little touches like bedding choice, cake, flowers and milk make it extra special. Thank you!

Wedding Weekend Bonanza
We had our wedding here so all the cottages were booked out for the family. Everyone was taken aback by the care and attention paid to every detail. The cottages were a delight - cosy, quiet, comfortable
Everyone at the wedding said they’d be looking in to booking their own weekend away at Heath Farm; it’s immaculate and so are all the cottages.

A slice of heaven in the Cotswolds
We had the most amazing stay at Heath Farm. Mon and his family went over and above to make our stay enjoyable and make sure we had the best time possible. They have truly created a slice of heaven in the Cotswolds and it's an excellent spot to explore the Cotswolds from. Our cottage, the Chestnut, had the hot tub overlooking the pond area which was a perfect place to unwind and watch out for wildlife after a day of exploring. There is lots to do at the farm itself with woodland to explore and lots of activities such as croquet, archery and games room, you will definitely not get bored! Truly recommend and will definitely go back!

Far from normal
This was our forth visit to Heath Farm and the third in Chesnut. Our first three visits took place around 10 to 12 years ago. The whole place is just amazing! The accommodation is beyond clean, beyond idyllic, beyond homely, and probably beyond everything you’ve seen in accommodation of this type. David and Nena still live and run heath Farm and are now well into theirs 80s, and this life obviously suits them as they are both active in running the farm with the help of their family. On the surface little had changed since our last visit but all the appliances had been replaced, a beautiful walk in shower had replaced the bath and the cottage now has its own hot tub which looks over the valley towards the lake. This is perfectly placed to visit the towns of The Cotswolds and other attractions in the area ( don’t miss crocodiles of the world attraction) How the Barbours have kept this place as perfect as they have is testament to how the whole place is presented. We will return as we can relax comfortably here. Absolutely no minus points at all. Complimentary cake, muesli and milk on arrival and absolutely fantastic hosts. We can throughly recommend chesnut cottage at Heath Farm.
As an aside our first three visits were usually the first week in December, when my wife would bring an extra suitcase and we would vist towns during the day and buy Christmas presents, and in the evening she would wrap them and we would go home with a case full of gifts ready for Christmas.

If you want peace, quiet and seclusion in an idyllic location this is it!
Wow Heath Farm
The first time we came here was for our honeymoon in 2012, and we fell in love with it instantly. This most recent visit was our 5th time back, and we’ve stayed in several of the wonderful rooms there.
We find chestnut is best all round for us.
Can’t wait for the next time
