Welcome to Wheatleys Farm for quality Cotswold farmhouse bed and breakfast

Wheatleys Farm

Gill and Adrian welcome you to Wheatleys Farm - a dairy farm on the edge of the peaceful and picturesque village of Ashton Keynes, the first village on the River Thames.

We are situated in the South Cotswolds near Cirencester and within the Cotswold Water Park, surrounded by our own land with the River Thames running through the farm.

Accommodation comprises two spacious and comfortably furnished ensuite rooms (one family and one double with a kingsize bed). Each room has radio alarm, remote controlled colour television, hairdryer and hospitality tray. You can enjoy a good farmhouse breakfast cooked with locally sourced produce where possible in our conservatory overlooking the garden, before spending a relaxing day doing your own thing.

We have a large garden and ample off-road car parking.

Two village pubs are within walking distance and both offer excellent food. Alternatively, we can recommend a variety of restaurants within a few miles.

We farm about 500 acres, milking 200 Holstein cows and rearing all calves either for beef or as dairy replacements. The arable land is used to produce feed for the animals all year round.
