We really enjoyed our stay. Christopher was incredibly charismatic, knowledgeable, and clearly takes great pride in being a 5-star host. The grounds were stunning, with a very lovely sunset in our room. The binoculars in each window was a nice touch. Facilities were clean, bed was comfortable, and the food was impeccable. While we didn’t have a chance to head over to Wales, it is well placed for a trip (or to the Cotswold or Brighton). The Neolithic property, with current property ties going back to the 12th and 13th century - it’s a must for this wanting that classic British charm! We will certainly be back.

Old Church Farm is an 11th Century manor house formerly run by Rolls Royce as a private hotel and now privately owned. The 35 foot drawing room with its ornate plaster ceiling opens onto a sheltered croquet lawn overlooking the South Gloucestershire countryside. Old Church Farm was awarded the highest accolade for a guest house - the coveted AA 5 star Gold Award. During the same inspection we received awards for our breakfasts and dinners. Meals are prepared from locally sourced providers in our 5* rated commercial kitchen and served either in the 18 seater dining room or the cosy breakfast room. There is a wood panelled study and an upstairs and downstairs lobby area to read. The bedrooms range in size from 13sq metres to 35 sq metres. All are en suite with either showers, baths or both. Every room is equipped with a flat screen Freeview TV, wardrobe, desk, Hypnos bed, alarm clock, WiFi and seating. Towels and robes are provided for your comfort. Business visitors can book individual meeting rooms in our separate conference centre or have solus occupancy. There is a meeting room on the ground floor, a second meeting room upstairs and a boardroom. All three rooms are equipped...
Chris and Kate together owned and ran a Good Food Guide recommended restaurant in Portsmouth. Cordon Bleu trained Kate has a wealth of experience in hospitality and catering, including managing banquets and conferencing at Winchester Guildhall. She especially enjoys organising functions, particularly weddings and family celebrations. Chris has traded in his life in IT to look after the customers, grounds and buildings. Both are looking forward to spending as much time as possible outside growing food for the table and tending the ornamental gardens. Guests describe the property as "relaxing and romantic" "a hidden gem", "a true English country retreat".
Old Church Farm is in Rudgeway, a countryside village Almondsbury and Alveston. There are several public footpaths nearby that will take you across the fields. To the north of the property a footpath leads towards Alveston, which has a small selection of shops and further down to the market town of Thornbury with plenty of local traders, restaurants, pubs, supermarkets, golf course and leisure centre. Despite its rural location, the major shopping mall, Cribbs Causeway is just 13 mins away.
