The last stretch

From the motorway to the barn.

    Take the B4451 towards Bishop’s Itchington. Coming from the south, bear right off the slip road; from the north, bear left.

  2. Up the Gaydon Road for about a mile

    Heading north, towards Bishop’s Itchington.

  3. On your right

    A big weeping willow, by Spring Paddock Equine

    Guests tell us the willow is the thing to look for. The vets’ entrance is on the same side.

  4. On your left, opposite the vets

    Our entrance

    Signed Christmas Hill Farm. The sign sits in the hedge and is easy to miss, most of all after dark, so slow down when you see the willow.

  5. Along the farm drive to the barn

    It’s a farm track, so take it steady. Park on the gravel in front of the brick barn.

Sat nav

Postcodes cover a long stretch of road out here, so a sat nav set to CV47 2QY may not stop at our gate. The map buttons at the top of this page take you to the barn itself.
