Soho Farmhouse

"The finest property I've ever stayed at" is not an exaggeration. A member property of the Soho House group, the Soho Farmhouse takes the Soho House model to the countryside in this unrivaled luxury farm style compound. Every amenity, tons of activities (even clay pigeon shooting), pools, outdoor hot tubs, rustic luxe cabins, wonderfully polite staff at every turn, picturesque fields and horse stables, I could go on forever. The surrounding area is also storybook English countryside with palaces and 500+ year old pubs aplenty. There are exclusive member areas and guest areas as well - if you're planning to stay at the Farmhouse you'll have to book your accommodations several months in advance.

Lower Slaughter, England

Lower Slaughter

If this 500+ year old neighborhood looks like it's out of a postcard that's because it probably is. Super picturesque area of the Cotswolds. The two neighborhoods (Upper and Lower Slaughter) are connected by a pretty stream lined with sheep, gorgeous stone homes, and a historic water mill, which now has a sitting area and home made ice cream type shoppe inside. Absolutely worth a walk around on a pretty day.

The Falkland Arms

A 15 min bike ride from Soho Farmhouse, this beautiful 16th Century building is still operated as a traditional, local pub. Upon arrival you feel like you've stepped back in time - flagstone floors, oak beams and inglenook fireplaceplus a large outdoor garden make this a fun easy destination year round. They also have an absolutely delicious Wadworth Amber Ale on draft (which is manually pulled - not assisted with a keg tap - and is one of South UK's most famous beers).

The Wild Rabbit

Truly beautiful restaurant, pub, inn. Sundays the restaurant is known for their roasts (chicken, pork, beef) and full grilled fish. You can't miss the enourmous fluffy pop-overs and of course the cocktails and beers are excellent. Definitely make a reservation if hoping for a midday Sunday roast.

The Little Bell

Another delicious spot on the Soho Farmhouse property, Little Bell, is the satellite location of the famous Little Bell in Langford, UK. They serve a "hearty, classic, British menu with wood fired dishes, whole fish and joints of meat paired with an eclectic selection of organic and natural wines."

Pen Yen Restaurant

One of the multiple delicisious restaurants on the Soho Farmhouse property, Pen Yen, is full of mostly Japanese dishes some with a British spin on them. The pork puns, sashimi, and squid were particularly great. On a warm day they will open all the windows (floor to ceiling glass garage doors) so you can enjoy the view of the Soho Farmhouse property while you dine. The restaurant is right on the pond and pool area.
