Welcome to Wheatleys Farm for quality Cotswold farmhouse bed and breakfast
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.

<h2>Bed and Breakfast in the heart of the Cotswold Water Park</h2>
<p>Our farmhouse lies within the <a
href="javascript:ShowPage('http://www.waterpark.org')">Cotswold Water
Park</a> which is Britain's
largest water park, comprising more than 140 lakes covering an area of 40
square miles. The water park lakes are flooded gravel workings put
to a variety of new uses. It is already much larger than the Norfolk
Broads and still growing.</p>
<p>Here there are picnic and barbeque sites with plenty of parking
and access to a network of footpaths, cycleways and bridlepaths.</p>
<p>It is an internationally recognised area for wildlife and birdwatching.
You can visit five nature reserves with bird hides. Day permits for fly
and coarse fishing are available.</p>
<p>If you wish to be more active, sailing, windsurfing, snorkeling,
canoeing, waterski-ing, jetski-ing, cycling, paintballing, horse-riding
and golf facilities are available within 5 miles from our accommodation.</p>
<h4>The Thames Path National Trail</h4>
<p>The <a href="javascript:ShowPage('http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/factfile.asp?trailCode=tp')">Thames
Path</a> starts at Kemble (7 miles away) and passes through Ashton Keynes,
which is the first village on the River Thames. As you leave the village
you walk over and around many lakes now mellowing as time has introduced
natural wild flowers and shrubs, encouraging many insects and birds to
the area. As you leave the lakes, the path takes you along a track on
the old railway line then past a bridge on the line of the North Wiltshire
Canal to the nature reserve of North Meadow where one of the best displays
of the snake's head fritillary can be seen during April and May each year.</p>
<p>Many walkers take advantage of our special rate for a 2 or 3 night stay
and help with transport as far a Cricklade or Castle Eaton depending on the
distance guests wish to travel each day.</p>
