About
Snowshill Manor Farmhouse is a National Trust holiday house on the village street in Snowshill, across the road from Snowshill Manor and Garden. It was once the farm manager's home and keeps its low ceilings and an open fire.
It sleeps nine in five bedrooms. On the first floor are two doubles with king-size beds and a single, with a bathroom that has a roll-top bath and a separate shower; two twin rooms are in the attic, up a winding stair and with low ceilings. There is also a shower room on the ground floor. The laundry room is shared with Snowshill Honor's Cottage. The garden is on two levels, each reached by steep steps, with unfenced ledges.
Guests get into the manor and garden free while they are open; the Trust's page gives the dates, which run into late November in 2026. Up to two dogs are welcome in the house; across the road they can go on short leads in parts of the manor's grounds, such as the orchards, meadow and front lawns, but not in the house or formal gardens, so the footpaths suit them better, such as our Snowshill and Snowswood loop from the village. Three more Trust cottages on the street, Diston's Cottage, Spring Cottage and Snowshill Honor's Cottage, sleep seven between them, and the Trust says the cottages can be booked together for a group of up to 16.
