    It's a rural, farm property, with animals including peacocks, dogs, donkeys, and horses nearby. Very green, lots of trees, and the property is very clean and well-equipped.

    This was an incredible place to stay. I came to see Castle Combe, and instead I spent more time at the farm playing with the peacocks than I did in the village. Just a beautiful spot, with design elements in the Old Library around every corner...

Colham Mill Farm is nestled in a beautiful, peaceful, unspoilt valley, walking distance from Castle Combe Village. We are a working farm with animals so although peaceful you will hear the sounds of peacocks, chickens, geese and children while you are staying! The Old library is a detached building full of character and charm. It dates from 1705 and has low beams throughout the property. It has parking outside and a small private seating area with a barbecue. It has a large mezzanine bedroom upstairs with a kingsize bed and the possibility of adding a single bed for a child for an extra charge. There is plenty of space for a travel cot should you want to bring one. Downstairs there is a sitting room with a log burner, TV and sofa bed (this can also be used for an extra charge). There is a well equipped kitchen with a small fridge-freezer, cooker, microwave, coffee machine and dishwasher. A selection of tea and coffee is provided, as well as milk and breakfast cereals. The bathroom which is also downstairs comprises of a toilet, sink and shower. Guests can use free wifi.
We live on site with our family and animals, a dog, chicken,geese,peacocks,ponies,donkeys and a cow ! We are welcoming and friendly and wish to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Colham Mill Farm is situated in The Cotswolds, Witshire’s ANOB. It is an ideal area for walking and cycling and a 25 minute drive from the historic city of Bath.

It is close to an outstanding golf course and the Castle Combe race circuit. Badminton Horse Trials takes place just 6 miles away.
