Sophisticated elegance honours historic charm at Badgerwood, a private grand country retreat set in the heart of a 600-acre organic farm on the historic Sudeley Estate.

Generous open plan living spaces incorporate plush sitting areas and a bespoke kitchen, while a games room and sumptuous en-suite bedrooms await. Perfectly framed views of Sudeley Castle and the Evesham Valley catch your eye and as you step outside to immerse yourself in this location, your exclusive experience continues. Lounge on the pool terrace, dip toes and swim a couple of lengths, visiting the gym before succumbing to relaxation in the hot tub.

The town of Winchcombe is a wonderful base from which to explore. It’s also a Walker’s Welcome town, meaning it is a real haven for walkers. The Winchcombe Way, a 42-mile figure-of-eight trail centred around the town, offers walkers a great way of discovering the surrounding Cotswold towns and villages section-by-section over the course of a stay, whilst there are plenty of options for those looking for a more casual, leisurely pace. There are plenty of cafes and pubs along with several excellent restaurants in the town and myriad attractions nearby.
