Within this picturesque setting, you'll find three charming holiday homes that provide an ideal base for those looking to explore the natural beauty of Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds.

**The Lodge**

The Lodge is the perfect choice for gatherings, accommodating up to 14 people in its well-appointed rooms, including 2 doubles, 4 kings, and 1 bunk room. With 3 en suite bathrooms, 1 separate bathroom, and an additional downstairs WC, convenience is assured. The Lodge's spacious kitchen features an aga, and the living room is adorned with log fires at either end, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Guests also have the added luxury of access to a swimming pool on the terrace outside the houses from May to September.

**The Log Cabin**

Nestled amidst the woodland, the Log Cabin offers a rustic exterior that belies its modern interior comforts. Inside, you'll find a flat-screen TV, a convenient breakfast bar, a fully functional kitchen, and a comfortable king-size bed. The walk-in shower adds a touch of luxury, and the cabin's terrace is the perfect spot for barbecues, allowing you to relish the tranquility and privacy of the Pinetum while immersing yourself in the beauty of nature.

**The Cedar Barn**

The newest addition to the holiday homes, the Cedar Barn, is set in a beautiful open woodland area and features all the modern amenities needed for a delightful stay. The interior includes a cozy double bed, a well-equipped bathroom, a living area with a TV, and a fully-equipped kitchen. Additionally, the private garden is fully fenced, ensuring your peace and privacy. While staying at the Cedar Barn, you might be fortunate enough to encounter some of the resident wildlife, such as deer, muntjac, badgers, foxes, rabbits, and squirrels.

**Visiting Churcham & Exploring Gloucestershire**

The Lodge's strategic location makes it an excellent starting point for exploring a wide range of experiences. Within a 5-mile radius, you'll discover excellent pubs, restaurants, and one of the most stunning cathedrals in the region. A ten-screen cinema and a large shopping mall are also conveniently nearby.

One of Gloucester's main attractions is the renovated Dockland, which once thrived with Victorian industries. Today, it's a popular and free destination for visitors to enjoy. Here, you can explore old docks, a lock, and a remarkably well-preserved example of a Victorian port, complete with fine warehouses and other dock-related buildings that have been ingeniously repurposed.

Ships once unloaded their cargo in this historic area, and today, you can witness an ever-changing array of narrowboats, motor cruisers, and the occasional yacht or tall ship. The area is wheelchair-friendly, making it accessible to all visitors.

In summary, The Pinetum and its cozy holiday homes offer a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of Gloucestershire's natural surroundings while enjoying comfortable and well-appointed accommodations. Whether you seek relaxation or exploration, The Pinetum has something to offer every guest in this idyllic corner of England.
