Standing in beautiful solitude, surrounded by glorious rolling countryside on the Alscot Estate, Beecham Farmhouse offers an elegant, rural escape in the heart of William Shakespeare’s beloved England. The sweeping tree-lined driveway leads visitors to an enchanting red-brick farmhouse, once the family home of the current estate owner and now a fabulous holiday home for up to 12 guests, and two of your favourite four-legged friends. Step inside and you’ll find a stunningly designed home with an abundance of character and original features, along with all the creature comforts needed, including a separate games room with a pool table. The outside is equally impressive with a huge swathe of south-facing gardens and a bubbling hot tub to enjoy. This is a place for games of croquet, summer picnics and alfresco dining surrounded by the most wonderful views, then as night falls, slip into the hot tub for a little stargazing. The secluded location is idyllic, the surroundings quintessentially rural, yet you are only 3 miles from the vibrant town of Stratford-upon-Avon and myriad attractions.

Group of 12 sixty something’s (mostly!) get together. Great location with loads to do in the area. The house was a delight. Probably short of one more en suite but we knew that. A great house for visitors to just chill and chat together in comfort. Everything went to plan and The telly never went on! And the local eateries were well used!



An amazing house perfect for a 5 star family gathering!

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at Beecham House. There were 11 of us, we had lots of space and never felt like we were on top of each other. The house was furnished to a very high standard and was exceptionally clean, in fact we never felt like we were in rented accommodation, it felt more like we were staying in someone's beautiful home. The house was full of character with original beams and doors, flagstone floors, very comfortable sofas and beds and smelt amazing as there were reed diffusers everywhere! We all appreciated the attention to detail, especially in the living areas and the kitchen.

Outside there was ample parking and immaculate gardens surrounding the property. We made the most of the hot tub and the games room everyday! There are lots of walks from the property and endless more throughout the countryside and surrounding villages if you take the car.

I found the booking process easy and straightforward and the company was efficient and quick to reply to my emails.

I cannot fault any part of our holiday and we will definitely be booking again next year. It was truly a 5 star family gathering!




Beautiful house, perfect stay

We have just come back from a wonderful long weekend at Beecham Farmhouse. We visited as a family of 4 with our dogs. The house was ideally located for us to see relatives who live close by and to access the attractions & amenities of Stratford & the Cotswolds.

The house is beautifully decorated (traditional yet fresh), exceptionally clean, homely & comfortable, and very well-equipped.

Outside, the grounds are extensive & well-kept. We had fairly mixed March weather so we look forward to returning in the summer.

Whilst the stay wasn’t cheap, the property offers a huge amount of space (both living and sleeping) & an exceptionally high standard of accommodation in a picturesque setting. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Beecham Farmhouse.

This is a truly wonderful house. It’s set back and down a long lane but once there it’s literally heaven. Beautifully decorated- each room is just lovely. It’s big but still has a homely feel. Loved the dining room where we had lovely evening’s celebrating my 50th. Hot tub great fun and location is fab we went to both Stratford and Broadway. A real treat.



Perfect property.

We were so pleased with the farmhouse we have already booked for later in the year. It’s perfect for a family gathering.

A beautiful house and fantastic location. We had a very happy stay celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday. The only problem we found was that the electric oven side of the range didn’t run true to thermostat and when got back from a local walk the large join of beef we had on Sunday had hardly started cooking!
All in all though, a great stay!

We loved our stay at Beecham Farmhouse. It is a large, beautifully renovated and decorated home that had ample space for our party of 11 (6 adults, 5 kids). Communication from the property managers was prompt and courteous - they were super responsive and helpful! The location is a little odd - beautiful farmlands about 10-15 minutes from Stratford upon Avon but you have to drive through a (light) industrial estate to get there (we were a little surprised when we first arrived). It feels very remote, but you are driving distance to Stratford, and the most popular Cotswolds villages are about a half hour away. All in all, we loved staying at Beecham Farmhouse and would do it all again!
