Product Description

The Lodge at Holycombe is a unique Cotswold holiday cottage set on the edge of the beautiful village of Whichford. Nestling amongst six acres of l&, the property is an ideal retreat away from the stresses of hectic life in the city! Holycombe itself is set in a wooded valley where a natural stream rises from a holy well in the nearby wood, passes though the grounds & down a waterfall. (The sound of running water adds to the sense of peace & tranquillity.) A coppice provides shady outdoor space; theres a campfire area & a large stone circle on the castle site. Across a meadow is the ancient Whichford wood with many rare species of trees & plants, an abundance of wood anemones, primroses & bluebells in spring; chestnuts, blackberries & sloes in autumn. Wildlife abounds: everything from Muntjack to polecats & kingfishers.

Set in six acres, Holycombe is built in the grounds of a Norman Castle, and has a water-filled moat, habitat for carp & dragonflies. Sally & Andy Birtwell rescued the site from 40 years of being a scrap yard, dedicating 6 years of their life to the restoration. They have built a beautiful house & garden to honour the sacred landscape. Archaeologists have excavated a Roman conduit carrying water from the springs in the wood to the site & dowsers & geomancers have suggested it was a sacred site before Roman the occupation. They also believe that six leylines converge on the stone circle.
