Sansome House Cottage Ilmington

Sansome House Cottage is hidden away in the courtyard of a big old farmhouse (built in 1760) which is occupied by the owners. Although they are nearly always on hand should you need them, to help you with your stay, the cottage is completely private and has its own little garden. It is very peaceful and, unless the children in the playground of the school up the road are out to play, the loudest noise tends belong to the birds, particularly our rather racous semi-tame pheasant.

Ilmington is the only village in Warwickshire which lies in the Cotswolds. Stratord upon Avon is 15 minutes drive from the cottage. Chipping Campden (Gloucestershire) is just 10 minutes away over the hill, and 4 miles in the other direction is the historic and 'authentic' town of Shipston on Stour, which apart from the supermarket, has avoided falling victim to high street chains. The village, although one of the most attractive in the Cotswolds has so far escaped being on the tourist trail with tour buses etc. It is popular with walkers as there some wonderful walks (you can start right across the road in our fields)over the beautiful Ilmington Downs. We provide comprehensive plans for walks in the area as well as cycle routes (you can hire nearby) and suggestions for tours by car through the villages of the North Cotswolds. There are many beautiful gardens to visit, including nearby Hidcote (3 miles). A comprehensive folder and collection of leaflets about places to see and things to do is kept up to date in the cottage.
