Beautiful, comfortable and spacious accommodation in The Heart of The Cotswolds

Huntsbury Cottage is a superb house with generous and flexible accommodation. It boasts a stunning open plan kitchen living room, which forms the heart of the home, complimented by a good practical utility room, a further reception room and a range of bedrooms. Throughout the property the living space is light and well presented with the majority of rooms overlooking open countryside.

Outside the house is set back from the lane behind wooden gates with ample private parking. The gardens are well landscaped to offer space for enjoyment and summer entertaining.

Huntsbury Cottage is situated in the desirable hamlet of Foscot, which is equidistant between the picturesque towns of Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton on the Water and Burford, which offer a range of shops and other facilities. Further shopping and leisure facilities are to be found at Witney and Chipping Norton.

The Kings Head in Bledington is a twenty minute walk, The Wild Rabbit in Kingham and The Feathered Nest in Westcote are a couple of miles drive or walk if you prefer.

Foscot is an attractive and unspoilt hamlet set amongst glorious Cotswold countryside within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the majority of which is designated as a Conservation Area. The road network is good with the Fosse Way and A40 providing links to the larger towns of Cheltenham, Cirencester and the City of Oxford. These are all within easy reach and, between them, provide more extensive shopping, leisure and cultural amenities. There are theatres in Cheltenham, Oxford, Chipping Norton and Stratford-upon-Avon.

Huntsbury Cottage
A beautiful home centrally located near the best villages in the area. Spacious, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and well-equipped with everything you need. The patio and garden are gorgeous especially on a sunny day. Easy access to lovely walking trails and a great pub! As if that weren’t enough, Amanda is a wonderful, welcoming owner/host.

Perfection in the Cotswolds
This home, the surroundings, and Amanda are more than five star. I can’t say enough good things about our stay and the attention Amanda gives to her home and clients. We truly hated to leave.

A wonderful stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our three week stay at this beautiful home. The house and the lovely garden far exceeded our expectations. We lacked for nothing and our host was extremely attentive to all our needs. Situated in a quiet little village, an excellent well known pub is located within walking distance and the village also has a well equipped shop. If you want to stay in a beautiful home in the Cotswolds this is an excellent choice.

Gorgeous vrbo, beautiful location
Beautiful and spacious house in immaculate condition. The kitchen has everything you could need. The garden is large and perfectly tended. We appreciated the wealth of information the owner sent us far in advance of our trip and planned our days out and our restaurant choices. Appreciated her thoroughness as the restaurants are busy. It is a stunning part of The Cotswolds and a beautiful house. We would love to return someday.

Fantastic!
We loved the house and it was very easy to use the Foscot/Bledington location to easily navigate to/from other villages. Only half mile walk to Kings Head Pub … great for dinner and a pint. Amanda was fantastic to work with.

Fantastic, Spacious & Immaculate
This house is a fantastic space to socialise with the people you're with. There is a huge kitchen/diner/sitting room so people can chat but be comfortable and not leave anyone out. There is also a separate snug for a cosy film night. The garden was a beautiful space to sit in the sun, and the location could not have been better for some well earned rest, peace and quiet and some days out in the beautiful Cotswolds. We would definitely return in a heartbeat for our next get together. The owner took extra care to make our stay special and it made all the difference.

Wonderful cottage, amazing and helpful host.
We spent two weeks in the cottage and sincerely enjoyed it. Very clean, very spacious with a beautiful garden. Our host Amanda thought through all the details of the property and provided all that is necessary for a memorable and comfortable stay. She gave her support and help throughout the booking. Highly recommended! Thank you, Amanda.

Great Xmas in the Cotswolds
A great Xmas holiday in a beautiful, well appointed property in a quiet but central part of the Cotswolds. A fully equipped and spacious kitchen enabled plenty of "home" cooked meals but numerous pubs, restaurants and shopping within easy reach if and when required. The host, Amanda, had gone to much trouble in decorating the house for Xmas and was extremely generous in the food and drinks hampers she left for us in addition to beautifully wrapped Xmas presents under the tree for all six of us. From the outset, Amanda, was extremely professional and communicative and the house contained a comprehensive up to date folder of everything one would need to know about the house, its appliances and the surrounding areas. A great holiday and we would love to return.
