About
Daylesford Stays lets 15 cottages in Daylesford village, a secluded hamlet of Cotswold-stone cottages on the estate, and four on Daylesford Farm behind the farm shop, among them the farm's original farmhouse. All are within two miles of the farm, near Kingham. The same company also lets 13 cottages in Kingham village and Coachman's House at Lower Oddington, which sleeps eight.
The cottages are self-catering, and the larger ones suit groups and family gatherings. The stays FAQ, shared with the Wild Rabbit, lists all the Daylesford village and farm cottages as dog friendly, suggests the farm cottages for two dogs, and charges £15 a dog a night, paid at check-in; a dog bed and water bowl are provided, and a welcome gift for dogs can be added when you book. Check-in is from 4pm and check-out by 10am, with no early check-in. The website does not list prices or minimum stays for each cottage; they appear in its booking search, and the guest services team answers questions. Daylesford Stays’ terms say that parking is set out in the booking confirmation, that some stays have a minimum length, and that smoking, e-cigarettes included, is not allowed in any of its accommodation.
Daylesford Organic's farm shop, restaurants and cookery school are on the farm, and the Bamford Wellness Spa is close to the farm cottages. The Kingham, Daylesford and the Evenlode walk links the farm with Kingham. It suits people who want to cook with the farm's produce, and groups looking for a house of their own.
