At the foot of Cleeve Hill, the ancient village of Prestbury is the setting for what must be one of the most attractive groups of cottages in the Cotswolds.- a range of 19th century farm buildings, set around an attractive courtyard with its own meadow and converted with great skill and flair to provide outstandingly comfortable and well appointed accommodation.

The Anglo Saxon Chronicle, begun in the reign of King Alfred, contains a reference to Prestbury in the 9th century and, in the Domesday Book of 1066, the population is recorded as 36. Now it is a busy village with a number of shops, a post office and three good pubs (all of which serve food) within walking distance of the cottages.
The elegant spa town of Cheltenham (just 3 miles away) offers many attractions - superb architecture, antique shops, galleries, museums, concerts, restaurants and fine shopping - and the famous National Hunt Racecourse. Prestbury is situated approximately 2 hours from London, within an easy drive of Stratford-upon-Avon, Broadway, Bath, the Royal Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley, and the many delightful towns and villages of the Cotswolds.
Well worth a visit is Sudely Castle, once the home of Catherine Parr, the only wife of Henry VIII to survive him, now containing Europe's largest collection of toys, arms and armour. Golf courses, tennis, a swimming pool and sports centre, and riding are all within 2 miles. Coarse fishing can be found at Tewkesbury (5 miles) and, for the more energetic, there is a dry ski slope at Gloucester (10 miles). The beautiful surrounding countryside provides excellent walking and the Cotswold Way walk passes near the cottages.
