Blenheim Palace, Oxford and the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens are very close by and you're just a short walk from Jeremy Clarkson's pub The Farmer's Dog. This grade II listed historic charterville cottage dates back to the 1800s and is full of charming details. Beautiful fireplaces, flagstone flooring, exposed stone walls and wooden beams show what life would have been like. Set across the ground floor the open plan living area is spacious and full of light with a lovely sage green kitchen, breakfast bar and comfortable sitting area. The formal dining room gives you space to eat homecooked meals together and you can open the stable doors out to the external dining terrace. Three bedrooms each have a peaceful finish and there are two bathrooms, including an en-suite in the master bedroom. In the garden a wonderful dining area is tucked away providing a secluded space to host group dinners. Alongside is a lawned garden and there is space for three cars to park on the driveway. Ground Floor Open Plan Kitchen/Living Room This fabulous space is the heart of the home, where you will spend time cooking meals together, lingering over drinks and long chats and having quick breakfasts before heading out for the day. At one end, the kitchen has an oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster and coffee machine. A breakfast bar seats 4 and is perfect for less formal meals. Open the French doors to the garden so you have a wonderful view while preparing meals. The sitting area includes two three-seater sofas and a smart TV so you can put your feet up and relax. Sitting beside exposed stone with old fireplaces, a woodburning stove, and a flagstone floor you are immersed in the atmosphere of this charming Cotswold cottage. Dining Room Set the table so you can all eat together and celebrate special occasions. The table can be extended for extra serving space if you've planned a feast. At the end of this room is a sofa, a secret hideaway if you just want a moment to yourself to get lost in a good book. You will also find the washing machine and tumble dryer tucked away here. Bedroom Three An old sliding stable door opens into bedroom three which is ideal for younger guests or two friends sharing. The bunk beds sit perpendicular to each other and there are two chests of drawers. Bathroom Shared between bedrooms two and three, the bathroom has a bath with a hand-held shower, WC and basin. Bedroom Two The double bed sits between two bedside tables with lamps, giving you somewhere to have your morning cup of coffee in bed. Bedroom One The master bedroom is at the end of the house giving guests staying here extra privacy. With a king-size bed, chest of drawers, wardrobe and bedside tables you will feel at home. En-Suite An added bonus, the en-suite has a shower, WC and basin. Outside Spend time outside in the secluded garden dining al fresco beneath bright Cotswold skies. A table seating six is tucked behind the cottage away from view while the lawn stretches away to one side. Start a morning stroll here and continue through the village to the old hall and dovecote, stopping off at the Old Swan for a drink.

Nov 3, 2025 #### Lovely cottage So well equipped and comfortable, a lovely home from home and had everything we needed in it for an enjoyable stay. Within walking distance of a pub that serves great food. Also near Burford and lots of lovely Cotswold villages. Some great walks from the cottage too. Only minor point is it’s on a B road which is quite busy and garden not enclosed so may be worth mentioning in the listing? Not a problem for us as I have teenagers, however I would have been worried with young children. ##### Laura F. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda C. Jan 4, 2026 #### Stunning Stunning home, very comfortable owner had thought of everything. Cottage in a good location for exploring the Cotswolds. ##### Amanda C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [YHA Malham - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Skipton-Hotels-YHA-Malham-Hostel.h11535933.Hotel-Information) > > [THE PIG at Harlyn Bay - Cornwall](https://www.expedia.ca/Padstow-Hotels-THE-PIG-At-Harlyn-Bay.h102933925.Hotel-Information) > > [Haselbury Mill Hotel and Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/Crewkerne-Hotels-Haselbury-Mill-Hotel-And-Restaurant.h6438671.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ravensbourne Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bournemouth-Hotels-The-Ravensbourne-Hotel.h11670159.Hotel-Information) > > [Cliveden House - an Iconic Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Maidenhead-Hotels-Cliveden.h518646.Hotel-Information) > > [Stonehenge Courtyard](https://www.expedia.ca/Stonehenge-Courtyard.h97558122.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel Easingwold](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-The-George-At-Easingwold.h4001926.Hotel-Information) > > [Motts Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Dunmow-Hotels-Motts-Cottage.h6119394.Hotel-Information) > > [Trendrennen Farm B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Penzance-Hotels-Trendrennen-Farm-Bed-And-Breakfast.h35251746.Hotel-Information) > > [The Evenlode Rooms at Firehouse Oxford](https://www.expedia.ca/Witney-Hotels-The-Evenlode.h41258809.Hotel-Information) > > [The Red Lion at Hellidon](https://www.expedia.ca/Daventry-Hotels-The-Red-Lion-At-Hellidon.h37289678.Hotel-Information) > > [Mosh Homes](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-LOVELY-PLACE-TO-BE.h44353906.Hotel-Information) > > [The Edgcumbe Arms](https://www.expedia.ca/Torpoint-Hotels-The-Edgcumbe-Arms.h106117947.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greyhound Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Wantage-Hotels-The-Greyhound-Inn.h2295713.Hotel-Information) > > [Romantic Cosy Cottage ❤️ Close to Beach ★ Large Garden ★ Pet Friendly ★ Parking](https://www.expedia.ca/Mablethorpe-Hotels-The-Beach-House-Close-To-Attractions-Parking-Large-Garden-Pet-Friendly.h18768516.Hotel-Information) > > [The Colesbourne Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Colesbourne-Inn.h3810136.Hotel-Information) > > [Boscombe Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bournemouth-Hotels-Boscombe-Spa-Hotel.h4537063.Hotel-Information) > > [Ye Olde Bell Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Retford-Hotels-Ye-Olde-Bell-Hotel-Spa.h867431.Hotel-Information) > > [Stanbrook Abbey](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Stanbrook-Abbey.h5103723.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greyhound Inn Aldbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Tring-Hotels-The-Greyhound-Inn-Aldbury.h4253085.Hotel-Information) > > [The Feathered Nest Country Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-The-Feathered-Nest.h44085381.Hotel-Information) > > [Cowley Manor Experimental](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-Cowley-Manor.h1662540.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clock Tower](https://www.expedia.ca/Daventry-Hotels-The-Clock-Tower.h22331770.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [5 bedroom accommodation in Pentney, King’s Lynn](https://www.expedia.ca/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-5-Bedroom-Accommodation-In-Pentney.h92310860.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Cottage Near Bath](https://www.expedia.ca/Bath-Hotels-Beautiful-Cottage-Near-Bath.h107582351.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bull Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Bourne-Hotels-Bull-Inn.h43984884.Hotel-Information) > > [Hookwood Lodge London Gatwick](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Hookwood-Lodge.h20846189.Hotel-Information) > > [Banbury Wroxton House Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Banbury-Hotels-Banbury-Wroxton-House-Hotel.h14743.Hotel-Information)
