our location

Homelands occupies a quiet position along a semi-rural dead-end (no through) lane in the village of Woodmancote, Gloucestershire, with plenty of private parking spaces on our own secure drive.

Rural Farmland

The location has a rural and open feel, looking out over the farmland of 'Nottingham Hill' at the front (in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty- AONB) and within walking distance, up a steep lane, of Cleeve Hill, the highest point in The Cotswolds at 1,083 feet (330 m). Almost all of it is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest – SSSI.

Local Amenities

Yet Homelands is within close proximity to Bishops Cleeve, Winchcombe and Cheltenham. Woodmancote village itself has well patronised local amenities to include a primary school, newsagent and excellent pub. The town of Winchcombe is around three miles away and offers an excellent array of shopping, pubs, restaurants, and recreational facilities.

Cheltenham
