The Creamery

The Creamery: Gloucestershire

Holiday home
The Creamery is a charming Grade ll listed, 17th century cottage, enjoying a peaceful setting on the edge of the unspoilt village of Nympsfield. The Creamery is the ideal country retreat for a family or for a group of friends who are looking for a relaxing break in the South Cotswolds. Be greeted by two off-road parking spaces, as you unload your luggage in through the front door where you will find all the rooms on the ground–floor have warming underfloor heating. The door opens into the spacious kitchen/diner, that boasts charming features including exposed stone, an arrow slit window and the exposed brickwork of the original bread oven, where you can make use of the contemporary appliances to rustle up heart-warming meals, and gather around the wooden dining table to dig into your feast and toast to the start of your wonderful holiday. A continuation of the kitchen lies a utility room with extra storage and a washing machine, as well as a shower room with a walk-in shower, basin and WC. Retreat to the stunning dual aspect sitting room to relax with your loved ones, surrounded by exposed beams, exposed stone walls, exposed brickwork from another bread oven and original flagstone flooring, where you can watch your favorite TV show on the Smart TV, as the wood burning stove creates a warming ambience in the entire room. When the night draws to a close, two elegant bedrooms sit upstairs; the first hosts a king-size bed with lovely views across the garden and towards the church and has an en-suite bathroom with an inviting freestanding bath, and separate walk-in shower. The second room contains a super-king-size bed (zip/link, can be twin on request), overlooking the barn opposite, complete with striking exposed beams, and an en-suite shower room with a large walk-in rain shower. Catch the morning sunrise in the attractive enclosed garden that sits at the front of the property and enjoys views of the neighboring farmland and parish church. Be sure to make use of the charcoal barbecue in warmer months, perfect for alfresco dining!
