About Gallery Cottage

Come and share the quiet tranquillity of our working farm in the beautiful Caversham Valley. Gallery Cottage on Inverness Farm is centrally situated, right in the heart of the popular Midlands Meander route, within easy reach of the finest restaurants, schools, spas, galleries and wedding venues in the country. This area is also a well known mountain bike and trail running destination, with miles and miles of single track and forest to explore.

Situated on top of a hill overlooking the beautiful Caversham Valley, we are blessed with magnificent 360 degree views. From the early morning mists in the valleys below to the glorious late afternoon sunsets on the surrounding mountains and forests, we are wonderfully spoilt and always in awe of our spectacular surroundings.
