The Wynyards

An old country house with parts dating back some 400 years, the Wynyards, according to recent local research is one of the few houses to have retained its original name for at least 300 years and eludes to the region being a major grape growing area in the middle ages when England enjoyed a Mediterranean climate.

Our home is located on the outskirts of a small village four miles north of Cheltenham. It is extremely quiet and peaceful. We are surrounded by unspoilt countryside, the area is designated one of outstanding natural beauty. Our garden houses a national collection of 240 Penstemon Cultivars, which give a very colourful display from June through to late Autumn. Wildlife abounds, and we are privileged to regularly see badgers, foxes, woodpeckers, goldfinches and little owls. Being in an elevated position, the views in every direction are lovely and the sunsets over the Malvern Hills are spectacular.

Angela and I like our guests to relax and feel that they are staying with friends rather than an impersonal hotel. We have lots of information on places to visit and good places to eat. There are many local attractions and Oxford, Blenheim, Bath, Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick are within easy reach. We have a double room, with a King sized bed, and an en suite shower room, a twin bedded room with a large en suite bathroom and a twin bedded room with an adjoining bathroom Graham James
