Waterhay Farm is a working bed-and-breakfast situated right beside the Cotswold Water Park, close to Ashton Keynes.
It's the kind of place where you can unwind in genuinely peaceful countryside while still having plenty to keep you occupied.
The farm itself offers an authentic setting for your stay, and the real draw is what's on your doorstep. The lakes and waterways of the Water Park are practically at your gate, making this an ideal base if you're keen on getting outdoors. You can take leisurely walks along the water's edge, try your hand at kayaking or other watersports, or settle in with binoculars for some quiet birdwatching. The surrounding countryside is laced with good cycling routes and walking paths—there's genuinely enough to explore for several days without needing to venture far.
Your location also gives you straightforward access to some worthwhile spots. Cirencester, a historic market town with notable Roman heritage and plenty of independent shops, is easily reachable. Malmesbury and its famous abbey are within reach too. The beauty of staying here is that you get real flexibility. You can head out each day knowing you have easy access to some of the Cotswolds' best natural landscapes and historical attractions, yet you can always retreat to your peaceful countryside base whenever you need to.
