Gareth and Sue Atkinson

• Bio : Gareth & Sue Atkinson are your hosts, who have been running Lowerfield Farm for 16 years, during which time they have extended and improved the property to achieve the high standard accommodation it offers today. They love living in the north Cotswolds and having the opportunity to share and show off this delightful area to their guests. They offer fantastic, unhurried breakfasts from a richly varied menu, served in the converted stable block dining room. They use as much home or local produce as possible, including pork sausages made by a local butcher, eggs from their hens, and honey from their bees, as well as home-made bread and jams. Gareth & Sue are motivated by environmental concerns and proud recipients of the Gold Award from Green Tourism. They have installed solar power and a solar battery to their home and take as many measures as they can to keep the accommodation wonderfully comfortable for guests while also making the least impact possible on the environment. As for their pre-guesthouse existence, they met while teaching in Sudan in the 1980s and spent many years living in Japan, where both of their children were born, and from where they learnt some great customer service attitudes. As well as the variety of British guests who stay with them, they do love the international experience that this way of life also offers with the visitors coming to the Cotswolds from every corner of the globe. They look forward to making you welcome on your visit.
