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.

Gorgeous house in great location

We stayed at Beecham Farmhouse with family for a celebratory weekend. It is beautifully furnished with great facilities. It was very cosy for a stormy weekend with lots of space when the weather kept us inside! The games room and hot tub were great.

As a party of 11 adults we had an excellent weekend in this lovely house. It was easy to get to and very peaceful



Beecham House is a perfect venue for a family get together.

We chose Beecham Farmhouse for a joint 30th celebration, as a mixed group of friends the house and location catered for all. With gorgeous rooms within the house to the area around to wander during the day - we couldn't have asked for a better place. It's unusual to find a house that looks exactly like it's photos, but this house was even better in person! Thank you so much for having us.

We all enjoyed staying at the farmhouse. We did however have some difficulty in initially finding the property but this was helped by the instructions that we were given. On arrival our immediate impressions were what an amazing place it was. I was a bit concerned about the high standard/quality of the furnishings with having younger family with us but in fact it was not a problem. The children especially enjoyed 'the snug' with the provision of books and games. The large garden was also very popular and the family enjoyed the use of the Jacuzzi. One disappointment was that the games room wasn't really suitable for any of the children so it was good that the weather was fine so they could play in the garden as well as having 'the snug'.
The bedrooms were all very comfortable and it was good to have very adequate bathroom facilities with lovely soft towels.
One thought was whether it might be possible for the extra accommodation to have the flexibility to provide for up to 4 people to stay instead of 2.
Some ideas of where might be suitable to walk locally would also be helpful. (sorry if there were but we didn't find them)
The welcome bag was a nice treat and appreciated.
All together a wonderful place to have a special birthday weekend.

We had a wonderful weekend at Beecham Farmhouse. It is a very comfortable property, full of character and very well equipped. All the rooms are beautifully furnished and suited our family, 3 generations, of 6 adults and 4 children. The children enjoyed playing in the extensive grounds and we all made good use of the hot tub and games room. For us a very memorable stay.

We had a really relaxing family holiday at Beecham Farmhouse. There was space for everyone - the adults had plenty of rooms for peace and quiet, and the children were well catered for with the games room and lots of outdoor space! We were fortunate with the weather, so the barbeque and hot tub were well used! The house was clean and well equipped, with comfortable beds and lovely toiletries provided in all bathrooms. The location was great for visiting Stratford, The Cotswolds and Warwickshire. Would love to return!

What a beautiful home . We loved the flow of the house and each family having their own bathroom . The garden was great for the little ones and the flow between inside and out worked very well. We slept well in lovely comfortable bedding and luxuriated in bathtubs and the hot tub too.
Kitchen was so well equipped as we cook a lot and very grateful for big bins and big cooking pots / trays etc. Loved this old property and it was a wonderful place to celebrate a birthday.

We had a wonderful stay. The house and gardens are gorgeous and had everything we needed for an amazing long weekend. Location is brilliant - quiet, peaceful, in beautiful countryside but only a few miles from lovely places to visit. We wished we’d been able to stay longer.

We had a party of 12 that stayed at the farmhouse, the whole property was fantastic and very comfortable.
Location was great being so quiet, but initially using the what3words took us down the wrong road, however the written instructions were better to follow. The gate at the entrance was a bit temperamental, working sometimes and not others.
Having the games room away from the main house is a good idea.
Kitchen was well equipped, Some more serving implements, ‘stronger’ bottle opener and having instructions for the dual fuel oven would have been useful.
If having a large gathering again in the area then I would use again.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay at Beecham Farmhouse. We are very glad to hear that you liked the property and location. However, we are disappointed to read your feedback which we have shared with the owner who has taken your points onboard. Our what3words directions to find the property are being looked at and we are sorry that it took you down the wrong road. Also they have let us know that entrance gate is in the process of being looked at and fixed and they wish you had contacted them during your stay about the oven as they would have been happy to help you with this.

The property is outstanding, from the well kept lawns on the approach and to the luxury furnishings inside. This made for a welcoming and relaxing stay to celebrate my 50th Birthday with family and friends. They were all amazed with the property and loved having the games room and hot tub to use during our stay.
The property was spotless, but have had to just mark down one point due to a few of the bathroom bins still having waste in from previous guests. Otherwise, the property was immaculate.

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!

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!

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.

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!
