Rickyard Farmhouse is a brilliant holiday home located on the edge of the little hamlet of Foscot - deep in the Cotswolds. The house, which sits on the edge of a working farm, is very much the traditional farmhouse, with Aga in the kitchen, lovely large open fire in the living room and stunning views across the open farmland from almost all rooms. The house is an excellent and practical base for a holiday in this area with Stow on the Wold, Burford and Bourton on the Water (plus many others) all within a short drive. The huge garden which wraps around the house, is heavenly and perfect for 'mucking about' while the summer house provides tranquility and views that are second to none. The real Cotswold experience.

Rickyards Farmhouse is approached via its own Private Gated access off the adjoining lane. The garden is well fenced and hedged. However the owners and Manor Cottages would like to bring to the attention of guests that the house is on the edge of a working farm. The owners have lived in the village for many years and fully control the farm and surrounding land, along with other holiday lets.
Foscot is a small hamlet nestling next to the stunning village of Bledington, itself in the broad valley of the River Evenlode, all very close to the famous Cotswold town of Stow on the Wold. Foscot and Bledington lie on the Oxfordshire Way walk, which will take you up on to the wolds via Wyck Beacon and down to Bourton-on-the-Water, or south-eastwards down the valley to Bruern Abbey and onto Shipton-under-Wychwood. Either way it is one of the delightful walks to be found nearby.
