Formerly a traditional weavers' abode, it combines a wealth of period features with a modern aesthetic. A 3-minute walk to not one but two excellent pub-restaurants, and with Daylesford Farm, Bamford Spa, Blenheim Palace and endless walks on your doorstep, it's easy to see why Kingham has been voted the UK's best village by Country Life magazine. I look forward to welcoming you! Grade II listed and built around 1700, Westward Cottage has been renovated, furnished and equipped to a high standard. Wait a moment while you're making your way to the front door and, weather permitting, the subtle smell of lavender and the gentle drone of bees will fill the air around you. On the ground floor, there is a small but cosy lounge containing a traditional log burner and a luxury Mulberry fabric sofa together with access to Netflix, Apple TV and a Sonos sound system. Similarly, the kitchen maintains a traditional look whilst being equipped with mod-cons such as a Bosch dishwasher, SMEG appliances and a KitchenAid coffee machine. There is a small but pretty garden space to the back of the cottage with just enough room for a table for two. The first flight of stairs leads on to the first bedroom containing some charming traditional features and a luxury double mattress as well as the bathroom with a cosy bath and shower. Please mind your head when showering! The second bedroom is up a further flight of stairs in the loft and comes equipped with a wall mounted TV, Apple TV, a Sonos sound system and a luxury King sized mattress nestled under the eaves of a giant log beam. There is also access to an outbuilding towards the back of the property which contains a washing machine and separate dryer as well as ample space for storing logs and muddy boots. Please note that the cottage is typical of its time and has a few quirks you will need to be mindful of, namely low ceilings and wooden beams (mind your head when entering the front door, kitchen and when showering, for example!) and a relatively steep main staircase…but I think you will agree that this all adds to its crooked and traditional charm. Space in the lounge area and back garden mean that whilst it is more than comfortable to host up to four people, the cottage is perhaps most ideal when occupied by two. There are a number of other of cottages available in very close proximity to Westward cottage (including immediately next door) which could be booked simultaneously, subject to availability. I hope you get a chance to visit Westward cottage and will do all I can to make your stay a happy one! Guest access The entire cottage will be yours and is conveniently accessed through a key lock. I will send the code to you before your arrival and you can easily check yourself in. There is also a sizeable outbuilding belonging to the property to which you will also have access; a useful space for storing wellies and boots and containing other mod-cons including a washing machine and separate dryer. If you would like to arrive earlier than the check-in time, please let me know so I can confirm the cottage will be ready for you. Other things to note Please note that, whilst basic foodstuffs (coffee, tea, condiments) will be available at the cottage, you will need to provide your own breakfast and any other meal. The Village Stores in Kingham stocks all of the basics should you need them (though note closing time of 7pm)! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Stereo - Streaming services - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - One pet total (up to 20 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35600000/35594600/35594554/63f9f298.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Period cottage in idyllic riverside location in prime Cotswolds village Lower Slaughter - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 51 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=35594554&PinnedHotelID=35594554&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109850000/109845500/109845491/92036264.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 18th century cottage 2 minutes walk to pubs, shops, restaurants and play park Northleach - Washer 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=109845491&PinnedHotelID=109845491&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33590000/33586000/33585936/fbc8c9f0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Delightful stone cottage in the heart of Chipping Campden Chipping Campden - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 82 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=33585936&PinnedHotelID=33585936&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74110000/74106400/74106336/3774547a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A delightful two bedroom Cotwold holiday cottage with garden - Cosy Corner Moreton-in-Marsh - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 30 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=74106336&PinnedHotelID=74106336&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103080000/103075400/103075400/8892ae39.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A beautifully themed Cotswold cottage with a modern but classic country interior Broad Campden - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=103075400&PinnedHotelID=103075400&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71760000/71753400/71753314/78a60088.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Honeysuckle Cottage - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms Blockley - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 23 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=71753314&PinnedHotelID=71753314&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33600000/33593100/33593097/e6252d3d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Characterful 16th Century Cottage, off street parking, 2 Min Walk to Village!

Well appointed to get to surrounding villages and attractions. Very well equipped, clean and warm. Thoughtful host, which had provided lots of additional information to help us enjoy our stay. Great local pubs within walking distance, only one local shop, which has long hours and all the basic provisions . Excellent nearby local farm shop if required. I would definitely recommend this property. ##### Alison T. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### M T. Nov 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great town in Cotswolds We loved it. Took a bit to get used to the idiosyncrasies and quirks (keys to open doors, no headroom in shower), but we'll chalk that up to the charm. Property manager could communicate a bit better, but we would recommend this vrbo in a heartbeat. Thanks! ##### M T. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### John N. Nov 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short title Stay was great. Message for the owner, there wasn’t a second set of keys in the kitchen. ##### John N. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Nikhil P. Nov 8, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Horrible stay! Avoid if you can No hot water and significant delay in responding to messages. We had no hot water for 2 out of 3 nights. This is unacceptable during the winter months, and especially when I had two children with me. In addition, I wasted a lot of my time dealing with this issue, including speaking to Katrina (manager of the property), Vrbo customer support team, the neighbour and plumber on multiple occasions. The plumber made 3 visits to the property and spend hours working on the issue. This disrupted our holiday stay in the cottage. ##### Nikhil P.
