Stairs lead up from the ground floor to the first floor landing, off which are the following rooms:
Bedroom 1: A beautiful room, which overlooks the lovely front garden, and contains a stylish king size bed and a large wooden chest of drawers with a vanity mirror;
Bedroom 2: Another lovely room, overlooking the back garden, which contains a double bed and a double wardrobe with drawers beneath for storage;

Family bathroom: Contains a bath (with handheld shower attachment), set on a raised plinth, toilet and wash basin.
The back door leads out, via five stone steps, to a pretty, enclosed garden, with a lawned area surrounded by pots of herbs, shrubs and a lovely trellis walkway. Next to this area is a further part of the back garden, which is home to a stylish summer house, containing the following rooms:
Sitting room: A bright and airy space, with a large corner sofa that seats five, plus two further chairs. There is a large, wall-mounted TV, with a Sky Sports and Movie package, and a DVD player. Tri-fold doors open out onto a terrace, which has a table with a parasol and seating for six;
Utility room: Contains a washing machine, a cold water sink, and an additional fridge freezer for use in the summer months.
At the front of the cottage is another lovely, peaceful garden. There is a path up from the garden gate, which is shared with the neighbouring cottage. Benches are dotted around the gardens of the cottage, making them wonderful places to soak up the peaceful atmosphere and take advantage of any sunshine throughout the day.
The Cotswolds are characterised by attractive small towns and villages, built of the underlying Cotswold stone (a yellow oolitic limestone). In the Middle Ages the wool trade made the Cotswolds prosperous and some of this money was put into the building of churches, leaving the area with a number of large handsome Cotswold stone "wool churches". The area remains affluent, which has encouraged the establishment of many high quality pubs, restaurants and antique shops.

Mooi verblijf en perfecte locatie voor een bezoek aan de prachtige Cotswolds x
Georgia2020-02-24T00:00:00ZDe hooizolder is een prachtige plek om te verblijven in de Cotswold, omdat deze zich binnen 45 minuten tot 1 uur van de belangrijkste plaatsen om te bezoeken bevindt. Cold Aston is een zeer rustige stad met een familiecafé aan de overkant van de straat. We hebben veel kunnen rusten. Geen straatgeluid, alleen het geluid van vogels om wakker te worden ... De bijzondere zorg en aandacht met een fles melk in de koelkast en badjassen werden zeer gewaardeerd. Heel erg bedankt ... we zijn nog niet uit het VK vertrokken om terug te keren naar Canada, maar we zijn al van plan om de komende jaren terug te komen naar The Hayloft.
Jean2019-09-13T00:00:00ZEen prachtige verborgen parel in het hart van de Cotswolds en fungeerde als een perfecte locatie voor ons om te verblijven en de omliggende steden te verkennen. Zeer comfortabele bedden !! Geweldige faciliteiten en een perfecte thuis ver van huis.
Marcus2019-05-20T00:00:00ZMooie plek voor een weekendje weg. Stijlvol, modern, heeft alles wat je nodig hebt, goede locatie voor bezoeken aan andere delen van de Cotswolds. Zou er opnieuw verblijven.

SuperhostHidden Acre Hut is a light, spacious Shepherd's Hut, nestled above the village of Ablington near Bibury in the heart of the Cotswolds. Guests can expect a luxurious kingsize bed; an equipped kitchen with all the usual modern facilities eg. coffee machine; an ensuite bathroom with large shower; a TV/DVD player, and a plethora of DVDs and books to borrow. Enjoy breakfast on the decking, looking over your private garden, or relax with a drink in the hot tub with views of the valley below
Anyone who has stayed in a Shepherd's Hut before will understand why it is such a popular concept - imagine your own private (luxury) cabin, equipped with all the mod-cons you need for modern day living, tucked into the hillside in one of the world's most famously beautiful locations.
Situated in the neighbouring village to Bibury (a landmark tourist hotspot, renowned for offering a truly quintessential-Cotswold experience), a short drive away from multiple gastro-pubs and minutes away from some of the area's most lusted-after wedding venues, is a little piece of quiet paradise. Switch off your phones (the signal isn't very strong anyway due to our rural location), help yourself to a drink from one of the decanters, and lie back in the wood-fired hot tub, relaxing to the sound of horses in the neighbouring fields and birds coming into roost overhead.
Whether you are looking for a romantic get-away, accommodation for a friend's wedding, or a base from which to explore the many treasures of the Cotswolds, we aim to give you a private, comfortable, home-away-from-home that you can enjoy whatever the weather.
Dit was een geweldige vondst en we hebben echt genoten van ons verblijf in de Shepherds hut. De gastheren zijn zeer attent en snel te antwoorden, waardoor het hele proces soepel verloopt. De hut is perfect gebouwd om alles te hebben wat je maar kunt wensen in een kleine en gezellige ruimte. We waardeerden echt kleine details zoals bevroren croissants die klaargemaakt zijn voor het ontbijt. Het bubbelbad was een enorm hoogtepunt, en er zijn enkele mooie wandelingen in de omgeving. Een geweldig verblijf voor zowel de winter als de zomer die ik verwacht.
Julia2018-12-02T00:00:00ZWe hebben een fantastisch verblijf gehad in de Hidden Acre Hut. Het was zeer luxe binnen met veel leuke kleine details, en de hot tub buiten is fantastisch en gemakkelijk te gebruiken. De hut ligt op een geweldige locatie en op een klein eindje rijden van enkele van de mooiste dorpjes van de Cotswolds. Nogmaals bedankt!
Molly2018-11-25T00:00:00ZDit is een fantastische kleine hut, het is zo schoon en netjes ingericht. Niet alleen zijn er geweldige wandelingen in de cabine, maar het is ook zeer dicht bij Bibury met zijn nationale trust-eigenschappen. We hielden van het bubbelbad en het uitzicht.
Alice2018-11-11T00:00:00ZWe hadden zo'n heerlijk weekend hier - de locatie en wandelingen rond het waren zo mooi en de hut zelf zo leuk om te verblijven. Heeft alles wat je nodig hebt daar! Het bed is ook supercomfortabel - we hebben veel eten en dvd's genomen en zijn gewoon relaxed! Nogmaals bedankt

SuperhostWelcome to Castle Mews, brought to you exclusively by Character Cottages, local specialists in stylish, Cotswold holiday rentals.
Castle Mews is a hidden gem of a cottage, at the end of a short row of cottages tucked away down a gated passageway, right in the heart of the lovely market town of Cirencester. In Roman times Cirencester was known as “Corinium”, when it was the second largest town in Britain, a history that is celebrated in its local museum. Nowadays, Cirencester is the largest town in the Cotswolds, enabling it to support a wide range of pubs, restaurants and shops, all housed in beautiful honey-coloured Cotswold stone buildings. The town is surrounded by stunning countryside and beautiful Cotswold villages, as well as being an ideal base for visiting further afield places, such as Bath, Oxford or even a day trip into London.

- Special Events: Christmas, New Year and the Cheltenham Horse Racing Festival are Special Events, with bookings typically limited to weeks only from a specific start day
If your dates don’t appear to fit, then please click Contact Host below to find out what options may exist for you!
Castle Mews is very peacefully located, down a gated passageway off Castle street, a beautiful street in the heart of Cirencester. There is a lovely enclosed courtyard garden at the front of the cottage, which leads to the front door. The door opens into the open plan ground floor:
Living/dining area: The relaxing living and dining space contains a comfy sofa, an armchair and a wooden dining table, with seating for two. Discretely hidden away in a wooden cabinet is a small SMART TV and DVD player;
Kitchen area: The lovely kitchen area is very well laid out and contains a two ring induction hob, electric oven, fridge with freezer compartment, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, toaster and a washing machine/tumble dryer.
Stairs lead up from the living area to the first floor landing, off which are the following rooms:
Bedroom: A lovely eaves room, with oak beams and a ledge and brace door, which contains a king size bed;
Dressing room: A nice additional space, which contains a sofa, a dressing table and a free standing towel rail;
Bathroom: Contains a bath with overhead shower, toilet, wash basin and heated towel rail.
Returning downstairs, a stable door leads out from the kitchen area to a small, enclosed courtyard garden at the back of the cottage, which contains a table and two seats. The garden area at the front of the cottage is larger and is a beautiful place to sit outside and relax, containing two comfy chairs and a small table.
Bourton-on-the-Water is arguably one of the most popular villages of the Cotswolds, especially amongst overseas visitors. Having been nicknamed the "Venice of the Cotswolds", its scenery is the main draw for travellers. The River Windrush meanders through beautiful English countryside before passing over rapids next to the Old Mill and arriving at Bourton.
The river is fed from many springs, with the source approximately ten miles from the village and, after flowing under the bridges of Bourton, it passes other villages before eventually joining the Thames.
There are various attractions in the village, including the famous Birdland, which is home to a variety of birds from around the world. Here visitors can see parrots, pelicans, flamingos and penguins to name just a few, with experienced keepers feeding the birds and leading demonstrations.
The Model Village is well worth a visit, as Bourton is the only village in the Cotswolds to have a one-ninth scale replica of itself. It is carefully maintained and has all of the characterful buildings including the Old Water Mill and the Old New Inn. Those lucky enough to witness snow in the winter months will notice photographers at the model village trying to get the perfect picture of the snowy scene.
Another family favourite is the Dragonfly Maze. This yew maze leads visitors through the labyrinth, gathering clues in order to find the pavilion in the centre which enables them to unlock the final secret! The maze was constructed by Kit Williams, author of the golden hare treasure hunt book, "Masquerade".
We hielden ervan om in dit gezellige huisje te verblijven! Alles wat je nodig hebt is beschikbaar. (Keuken, potten, bestek, enz.) Het was erg schoon en centraal gelegen. Pubs, winkels, restaurants zijn binnen enkele minuten te bereiken. We boekten het huisje last minute voor een nieuwjaarsvakantie en de boeking verliep soepel en zeer snel! dus al met al een perfecte vakantiebestemming om Oxford, Bath en de Cotswolds te verkennen! :-)
Jasmin2020-01-05T00:00:00ZFantastische en centrale plek in Cirencester! Mooie kleine details en zullen zeker terugkomen!

Katherine2019-05-22T00:00:00ZWe hielden van ons verblijf in Castle Mews. De locatie is fantastisch - zo centraal in het prachtige stadje Cirencester maar ook echt rustig en weggestopt. Het huisje is prachtig ingericht en was een echt luxe uitje. We zullen zeker terugkomen en zou deze plek zonder aarzeling aanbevelen.
Matt2018-10-03T00:00:00ZWe genoten van ons verblijf in dit comfortabele en aantrekkelijke appartement op zijn idyllische locatie. De plaats was uitstekend en zeer stil. We kunnen ons alleen maar voorstellen hoe het zou zijn bij warm weer met de twee extra buitentuinen om te ontspannen.

Bramley Cottage is a wonderful country bolthole which sleeps 2+2 guests, in one bedroom (with the + 2 option being a double sofa bed in the living room), with a stylish family bathroom. Located within the grounds of Orchard Lodge which is also run as a small B&B facility, this property has been finished to a high standard, boasting contemporary interiors, idyllic rural views and an array of modern facilities including wireless internet access, two TVs and a well-equipped kitchen.

At the front of the property there is off-street parking for two cars.
Bramley Cottage is situated in the sleepy Cotswold hamlet of Gretton, a traditional village with a village green, Anglican church and popular country pub, The Royal Oak. This pet friendly inn offers seasonal food and fine views towards the Vale of Evesham and the Malvern Hills, and at the bottom of its garden lies the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, a 28 mile round route for both steam and heritage diesel trains between Broadway and Cheltenham. Just two miles from the village is the much loved market town of Winchcombe, known as the walking capital of the Cotswolds and home to a variety of independent shops, pubs and high quality restaurants. Just a short drive away is the regency town of Cheltenham which offers a wide range of attractions for all interests, perhaps the most talked about being the Cheltenham Festival, one of the top horse racing events in the UK.
Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, there are many walks and cycle routes on its doorstep and amazing views can be found along stretches of the nearby Cotswold Way trail and Cleeve Hill, the highest point in the Cotswolds. Gretton is well placed for exploring many lovely villages and tourist attractions in the North Cotswolds including Stanton, Broadway, Snowshill and the Prescott Hill Climb motor racing circuit. Further afield destinations such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford, Blenheim Palace and Bath are accessible for day trips.

SuperhostWelcome to Fairholme, brought to you exclusively by Character Cottages, local specialists in stylish, Cotswold holiday rentals.
Fairholme is a wonderful Grade II listed property which sleeps four guests, in two elegant bedrooms, with a spacious family bathroom. Dating back to the 17th century, this Cotswold stone property has retained lovely character features including exposed beams, an exposed Cotswold stone chimney breast and a large fireplace in the living room with a roaring real fire. These period features have been complemented by stylish furnishings and modern facilities, including wireless internet access, a Freeview TV and a well-equipped kitchen. There is a pretty garden to the rear of the property and free on-street parking is available close by.
Fairholme is located in the picturesque town of Northleach, an unspoilt town which boasts a number of independent shops, restaurants and pubs, including The Wheatsheaf Inn which is just a stone’s throw from the property itself. The town prospered during the Cotswold wool trade and this funded the impressive 15th century church of St Peter and St Paul. Every Wednesday, locals and tourists alike come to the town for the open-air market which showcases local produce, and the annual Northleach Charter Fair and Music Festival in June is a wonderful event for all ages. On the outskirts of the town sits Stowell Park, a private estate whose stunning gardens are open to the public during the months of May and June each year, offering fine views over the Coln Valley and displaying gorgeous flowers.
Northleach is surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with many cycle routes and walking trails on its doorstep to explore. It is also well placed for visiting the other lovely towns and villages of the Cotswolds, including Cirencester, Burford, Bourton-on-the-Water and Chedworth, home to the Roman Villa which is owned by the National Trust. Further afield destinations such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford and Bath are also within easy reach for day trips.

The Notgrove Estate is a 1500 acre family run working farm owned by Harry and Diana Acland. Set high up in the Cotswold Hills it has 400 acres of grassland in deep valleys and 100 acres of woodland and rolling arable fields. The farm has a mix of sheep, cattle and arable and has diversified with two horse livery yards and a holiday cottage business.
In the last few years Harry and Diana have put in new foot and bridle paths and entered into a wildlife conservation scheme planting 200 acres of special plots planted with wild bird mixes, corn bunting mixes, pollen and nectar mixes for bees and beetle banks that promotes the preservation of our natural wild birds.
The scenery changes with each season as does the pattern of farming; we have an abundance of lambs and calves in spring, harvest in summer, colourful autumn leaves and dramatic winters, often with snow.

We zullen het aanbevelen aan familie en vrienden! Bedankt Katie!

Iryne2020-01-10T00:00:00ZPerfecte locatie! Gelegen in een schattig klein gehucht met een geweldig uitzicht vanaf elke pod. U kunt gemakkelijk lopen naar de plaatselijke bar / bistro en andere dorpen en steden liggen op slechts 15 minuten rijden. Het was altijd warm en gezellig. Wifi werkt perfect. Smart TV was ook handig. Het enige wat ik zou zeggen is dat het bed niet was opgemaakt toen we aankwamen en ik dacht dat dit een mooi gebaar zou zijn geweest als het allemaal klaar was geweest. Hield ervan om ook alle dieren hallo te zeggen! Al met al een fantastisch verblijf en we zullen zeker terugkomen!

Mij2019-12-27T00:00:00ZWe hebben zo'n heerlijk weekend gehad in de Willowherb pod, die alles had wat we nodig hadden. Fantastische locatie en uitzicht. We kijken ernaar uit om het binnenkort weer te bezoeken. Dank je!
Rebecca2019-11-17T00:00:00ZDe pods zijn modern en slim. Ze zijn comfortabel en op een goede locatie.
Natalie2019-10-09T00:00:00ZZou het aanbevelen, was erg schoon en gezellig! Het enige waar u op moet letten is dat er 1 kookplaat is en elektrisch is, dus alleen voldoende voor het bereiden van eenvoudige maaltijden.
Timothy2019-09-19T00:00:00ZLocatie is 5 minuten rijden naar Bourton aan het water, wat een heel mooie stad is. De pod heeft bijna alles wat je nodig hebt, van een kleine keuken tot een mooie woonkamer allemaal onder één dak. Dit is een rustige omgeving en je hebt een auto nodig om hier rond te gaan. Gastheer is ook stil aardig.

Voted "England's Favourite Village" in 2004 by Country Life magazine, Kingham is a beautiful, unspoilt Cotswold village, with a large open green and some elegant stone and thatch cottages, mostly dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. It is situated in the Evenlode valley, a short drive from the well known Cotswold market towns of Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Norton.
There has been a church on the site of St. Andrew's Church for at least 900 years, although the present building is a mixture of ages. The font is 13th century, the Perpendicular Gothic tower 15th century, the nave roof is dated 1774 and the rest of the church was remodelled in 1851-3. The church also has a fine old rectory, built in the 17th century.
Kingham has two highly regarded pubs, a village shop and is just a mile away from Daylesford Organic, which is well known for its organic food, cookery school and spa. Kingham is also the only village in the Cotswolds that is served by a main line railway station, which provides regular services to London Paddington station.
Food & Drink
Kingham is fortunate to be blessed with two of the best village pubs in the whole of the Cotswolds, as well as a welcoming hotel, and is just a mile away from the well known Daylesford Organic Farm:
The Wild Rabbit (www.thewildrabbit.co.uk): Owned by Lord and Lady Bamford, and described as "the poshest pub in Britain", the Wild Rabbit has been totally refurbished and boasts a total of three real fires in its dining room and separate bar. The menu reflects the seasons and celebrates everything that is great about local produce. All ingredients are carefully selected for their quality and are organic, where possible;
The Kingham Plough (www.thekinghamplough.co.uk): The Kingham Plough has established a well deserved reputation as an outstanding dining pub and has deservedly been recognised by numerous awards bestowed by various different bodies. The modern British food is inspirational, not your ordinary Gastro-Pub menu, where everything is prepared from scratch by a team of skilled chefs. Headed by chef-owner Emily Watkins and head chef Ben Dulley, the menu offers an exciting take on English classics. The kitchen is dedicated to making the most of the carefully sourced local ingredients and everything from the charcuterie to the baked beans in the award winning breakfast is proudly made by hand.
Kingham also has a village store, selling a wide range of everyday products, including fresh items, beers, wines and spirits, groceries and confectionery. There are regular farmers' markets held in the village, throughout the year.
Een ontspannende omgeving in een prachtig deel van de Cotswolds. De woonruimte is comfortabel en maakt ontspannen heel eenvoudig, de bedden zijn ook zeer comfortabel en de woning is erg schoon. Twee pubs op loopafstand, we bezochten beide en hadden heerlijk eten in beide.

Lief huisje op het platteland. Rowena is een geweldige gastvrouw - reageert snel op alle berichten en staat vol met advies en suggesties voor dingen die u kunt doen. Er zijn goede pubs op loopafstand. Een auto hebben is zeker een pluspunt als je veel wilt verkennen in de omgeving buiten de directe velden, maar we zijn er zonder geslaagd. Terwijl de meeste van onze wandelingen werden afgebroken door overstroomde velden, was het leuk om de omgeving te verkennen en het was geweldig om terug te komen naar het huisje om op te warmen met thee, brownies en een goede voet.
Brittany2020-01-19T00:00:00ZGeweldige plek om te verblijven ??
Anthony2020-01-15T00:00:00ZEen heerlijk bezoek! Het huisje was goed ingericht en vlekkeloos schoon en comfortabel. Rowena was een heel aangename en behulpzame gastheer. De omgeving is rustig en mooi, maar niet te ver weg van voorzieningen. Dit was een perfect, rustig, ontspannend en comfortabel verblijf en wordt ten zeerste aanbevolen voor diegenen die een 'uitje' van de grote steden willen.
Ian2020-01-09T00:00:00ZHet was een heerlijk verblijf van een paar nachten dat we bij Rowena hadden. Het huisje was heerlijk en heel gezellig. Iedereen op het landgoed was erg vriendelijk en we konden geen betere tijd vragen!
Anton2020-01-04T00:00:00ZHeerlijke plek om je terug te trekken. Vriendelijk onthaal en mooie ruimte.
Sarah2020-01-02T00:00:00ZWe kunnen deze plek ten zeerste aanbevelen. Alles was perfect. We verbleven daar in december: het pand was heerlijk en warm en ik vond het geweldig dat er een bad was met veel warm water: geweldig voor na een wandeling over de velden. De zelfgemaakte brownies waren heerlijk. De lodge is brandschoon. Zoals ik al zei, gewoon perfect.

The Cotswolds are characterised by attractive small towns and villages, built of the underlying Cotswold stone (a yellow oolitic limestone).

The area remains affluent, which has encouraged the establishment of many high quality pubs, restaurants and antique shops.
We zijn eerder in dit juweeltje van een huisje gebleven, dus ik wist dat ons verblijf zeer comfortabel zou zijn. Het huisje is bedrieglijk ruim en zeer gastvrij. Het zou mijn 'ga naar' cottage-boeking in de Cotswolds zijn.

Ons verblijf in Dove cottage was geweldig. We hielden ervan hier te blijven voor de tijd die we deden. Bob was absoluut attent op onze oproepen, vragen en ook zeer behulpzaam op de best mogelijke manier. Er is aandacht besteed aan de kleinste details in de aangeboden voorzieningen en dit was een hit bij ons. De kwaliteit van alles - huishoudelijke artikelen, beddengoed en keukengerei was ongelooflijk. Iedereen zou hier graag verblijven en niet te vergeten de perfecte serene locatie en buurt.

Genvieve2018-10-29T00:00:00ZZeer schoon, uitzonderlijk mooi deel van de Cotswolds, we liepen met onze hond rond Naunton het was mooi en schilderachtig en minder toeristisch dan andere delen. Het huis was schoon en had alles wat we nodig hadden. Als ik terug naar cotwolds kwam zou ik zeker weer verblijven!
Ayse2018-05-07T00:00:00ZHet huisje was ideaal voor ons weekendje weg, gelegen in het midden van de Cotswolds en omgeven door prachtige natuur. Gunstig is er ook een zeer gastvrije pub op korte loopafstand! Het huis was vreemd aan de buitenkant en modern, schoon en goed ingericht aan de binnenkant. Een mooi detail was de fles bubbels en het paashaas met chocolade om ons te verwelkomen. Voelde me ontspannen van begin tot einde.
Pete2018-04-02T00:00:00ZDove cottage is een fantastisch, eigenzinnig karakteristiek vakantiehuis op een zeer pittoreske locatie. Gemakkelijke toegang tot Bourton op het water en Stow in the Wold, ook niet lang naar Oxford. Het huisje zelf was onberispelijk en we waardeerden vooral de houtkachel. Geen opkomen douche maar het bad was prachtig en groot. Bedden super comfortabel. Keuken was nuttig uitgerust. Geen klachten!

There are also a wide range of traditional pubs, shops and restaurants, making Bourton perfect for guests of all ages. The village is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside, and the many picturesque market towns and villages of the Cotswolds are all within easy reach, as are further afield places, such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford and Bath.

Chapel Cottage is a semi-detached cottage, located just off Bourton’s High Street.
The front door is accessed via the cottage’s front garden, and opens directly into the living room, with the following rooms on the ground floor:
Living/dining room: This characterful room has exposed oak beams, stone mullion windows, and a large Cotswold stone inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove. There is a three seater and a two seater leather sofa plus a leather pouff, as well as a pretty window seat.Other facilities include a Smart TV with Netflix access, and a DAB radio with an iPod docking station.

This well presented room has an electric oven, four ring gas hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave, kettle and toaster. There is a stable door out from the kitchen to the courtyard garden at the back of the cottage.
A steep, winding staircase leads up from the living room to the first floor landing, off which are the following rooms:
Bedroom 1: A lovely room with whitewashed stone walls and oak beams, which contains a double bed, a chest of drawers with a mirror, and hooks to provide hanging space;
Bedroom 2: Another stylish room, which contains a king size bed, and hooks to provide hanging space;
Family bathroom: Contains a bath with overhead shower, toilet and wash basin.

Snug/bedroom 3: This room is a perfect hideaway in the lovely eaves of the cottage, complete with Freeview TV and DVD player, plus a selection of DVDs, books and games. The room contains a day bed, which can be made up into a single bed.
At the front of the cottage is a pretty, gravelled garden, with a stylish wrought iron table and chairs, which is ideal for making the most of the morning sun. The stable door from the kitchen opens out into the private courtyard garden at the rear of the cottage, which also has an outdoor table and chairs, and captures the late afternoon sun. The back garden has a useful outbuilding, which contains a washing machine and a tumble dryer.

Bourton-on-the-Water is arguably one of the most popular villages of the Cotswolds, especially amongst overseas visitors. Having been nicknamed the "Venice of the Cotswolds", its scenery is the main draw for travellers. The River Windrush meanders through beautiful English countryside before passing over rapids next to the Old Mill and arriving at Bourton.
The river is fed from many springs, with the source approximately ten miles from the village and, after flowing under the bridges of Bourton, it passes other villages before eventually joining the Thames.
There are various attractions in the village, including the famous Birdland, which is home to a variety of birds from around the world. Here visitors can see parrots, pelicans, flamingos and penguins to name just a few, with experienced keepers feeding the birds and leading demonstrations.
The Model Village is well worth a visit, as Bourton is the only village in the Cotswolds to have a one-ninth scale replica of itself. It is carefully maintained and has all of the characterful buildings including the Old Water Mill and the Old New Inn. Those lucky enough to witness snow in the winter months will notice photographers at the model village trying to get the perfect picture of the snowy scene.
Another family favourite is the Dragonfly Maze. This yew maze leads visitors through the labyrinth, gathering clues in order to find the pavilion in the centre which enables them to unlock the final secret! The maze was constructed by Kit Williams, author of the golden hare treasure hunt book, "Masquerade".
Food & Drink
Bourton has a variety of places to eat and drink, including cafes, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants, with a range of prices to suit all budgets. The list below is a small sample of the options available:
The Chester House Hotel and The Croft Restaurant (www.chesterhousehotel.com): Breakfast, morning coffee, lunches and evening meals in a riverside restaurant. You can enjoy freshly prepared, local produce throughout the day and night, with seasonal specials added to the menu daily.
The Duke of Wellington (www.dukeofwellingtonbourton.co.uk): A local village inn aiming to provide fresh home cooked food with a friendly service. There is a light snacking menu, a full menu and a wonderful range of desserts and hot beverages. As well as daily home cooked specials, on Sundays you can enjoy a traditional carvery with all the trimmings from 12-6pm.
The Mousetrap Inn (www.mousetrap-inn.com): A traditionally run Cotswold stone Inn, with a history dating back to the building of the railways in the 18th Century. Serving home-made food, along with fantastic, locally brewed real ales.
The Village Restaurant & Tearooms (www.thevillagerestaurant.co.uk): Traditional, home cooked food in a friendly atmosphere, overlooking the river Windrush, in the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water.
Charmant, mooi en vlekkeloos schoon huisje op geweldige locatie.

Joyce antwoordde snel op berichten en was behulpzaam toen we de datum moesten wijzigen.

Het is een prachtige locatie dicht bij Stow en de Slaughters en toegankelijk voor alle andere steden die je zou willen zien. De plaats is klein, zoals je zou denken, maar echt de perfecte maat voor twee! Het bed was zeer comfortabel en de volledig gevulde keuken was een heerlijke traktatie. We verbleven hier ongeveer 5 dagen en konden niet tevredener zijn met het huis en de locatie. Het was ons eerste bezoek aan The Costwolds (we komen uit de Verenigde Staten) en zeker een sprong van vertrouwen van onze kant als dit de beste locatie zou zijn, stelde het niet teleur. Beveel The Bolt Hole ten zeerste aan voor uw verblijf in Cotswolds.
Tara2019-12-31T00:00:00ZMooi klein huisje en prachtige locatie! Veel lokale aanbevelingen en zeer behulpzame gastheren!

Welcome to Bury Fields Cottage, brought to you exclusively by Character Cottages, local specialists in stylish, Cotswold holiday rentals.
Bury Fields Cottage is a modern barn conversion and despite its rural appearance, the property is just a short walk from the centre of Bourton-on-the-Water, also known as the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’, due to the River Windrush that flows peacefully though the village. Bourton has a wide range of traditional pubs, shops and restaurants and is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside, and the many picturesque market towns and villages of the Cotswolds are all within easy reach, as are further afield places, such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford and Bath.

Bury Fields Cottage is located off a farm track, just a short walk from the centre of Bourton-on-the-Water.
The front door opens directly into the main living area and the following rooms:
Living/dining room/galley: This bright and airy space provides a comfortable and sociable living area and contains a sofa, two bucket armchairs, electric flame effect fire and a wall-mounted Smart TV. The wooden dining table comfortably seats four. A staircase leads up from the living room to a gallery, with two large bean bags, two wicker chairs and a bookcase with a selection of books and games;
Kitchen: This space has been thoughtfully designed and features an electric oven with four-ring induction hob, a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, kettle, microwave, toaster and filter coffee machine;
Master bedroom: This room contains either a super king size bed or two single beds, and a combined chest of drawers and wardrobe;
Bedroom 2: Another lovely room featuring a double wooden bed and a built-in cupboard;
Family bathroom: Contains a walk-in rain shower with handheld shower attachment, toilet, wash basin and heated towel rail;
Utility cupboard: Contains a washing machine/tumble dryer.
Outside the front of the property there is a lovely decking area for guests to enjoy, surrounded by beautiful planters this area contains comfortable chairs, a sun parasol and a gas barbecue, as well as an outdoor table-tennis table. A safe, locked storage facility is also provided for guests who are keen cyclists. There is space on the driveway at the front of the property for up to four cars.
Bourton-on-the-Water is arguably one of the most popular villages of the Cotswolds, especially amongst overseas visitors. Having been nicknamed the "Venice of the Cotswolds", its scenery is the main draw for travellers. The River Windrush meanders through beautiful English countryside before passing over rapids next to the Old Mill and arriving at Bourton.
The river is fed from many springs, with the source approximately ten miles from the village and, after flowing under the bridges of Bourton, it passes other villages before eventually joining the Thames.
There are various attractions in the village, including the famous Birdland, which is home to a variety of birds from around the world. Here visitors can see parrots, pelicans, flamingos and penguins to name just a few, with experienced keepers feeding the birds and leading demonstrations.
The Model Village is well worth a visit, as Bourton is the only village in the Cotswolds to have a one-ninth scale replica of itself. It is carefully maintained and has all of the characterful buildings including the Old Water Mill and the Old New Inn. Those lucky enough to witness snow in the winter months will notice photographers at the model village trying to get the perfect picture of the snowy scene.
Another family favourite is the Dragonfly Maze. This yew maze leads visitors through the labyrinth, gathering clues in order to find the pavilion in the centre which enables them to unlock the final secret! The maze was constructed by Kit Williams, author of the golden hare treasure hunt book, "Masquerade".
Food & Drink
Bourton has a variety of places to eat and drink, including cafes, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants, with a range of prices to suit all budgets. The list below is a small sample of the options available:
The Chester House Hotel and The Croft Restaurant (www.chesterhousehotel.com): Breakfast, morning coffee, lunches and evening meals in a riverside restaurant. You can enjoy freshly prepared, local produce throughout the day and night, with seasonal specials added to the menu daily.
The Duke of Wellington (www.dukeofwellingtonbourton.co.uk): A local village inn aiming to provide fresh home cooked food with a friendly service. There is a light snacking menu, a full menu and a wonderful range of desserts and hot beverages. As well as daily home cooked specials, on Sundays you can enjoy a traditional carvery with all the trimmings from 12-6pm.
The Mousetrap Inn (www.mousetrap-inn.com): A traditionally run Cotswold stone Inn, with a history dating back to the building of the railways in the 18th Century. Serving home-made food, along with fantastic, locally brewed real ales.
The Village Restaurant & Tearooms (www.thevillagerestaurant.co.uk): Traditional, home cooked food in a friendly atmosphere, overlooking the river Windrush, in the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water.

De gastheren waren geweldig, gaf nuttige tips over dingen om te doen in de omgeving, en maakte het verblijf nog aangenamer met hun warme gastvrijheid.

The Cotswolds are characterised by attractive small towns and villages, built of the underlying Cotswold stone (a yellow oolitic limestone). In the Middle Ages the wool trade made the Cotswolds prosperous and some of this money was put into the building of churches, leaving the area with a number of large handsome Cotswold stone "wool churches". The area remains affluent, which has encouraged the establishment of many high quality pubs, restaurants and antique shops.
Geweldige plek, op slechts 5 minuten van Cirencester.
Richard2020-02-17T00:00:00ZFantastische locatie net buiten Cirencester. Het pand is prachtig opgewaardeerd en we genoten van ons verblijf van 1 week. De openslaande deuren naar de grote achtertuin waren vooral leuk. Onze groep van 6 waaronder 2 jongens 6 en 8 waren een perfecte pasvorm.

Prachtige locatie op slechts een steenworp afstand van het water in het midden van de stad. Perfecte ruimte om te genieten van de stad of in de buurt te verkennen. Alles zoals beloofd - zou zeker weer verblijven.
Tom2019-10-17T00:00:00ZHet huisje was plek minder en op een perfecte locatie, we hielden van ons verblijf en zouden het zeker aanbevelen.
Jessica2019-10-06T00:00:00ZFantastisch huisje op een perfecte locatie. Hoewel het dorp overdag druk is, is het nog steeds ideaal. Twee prachtige bakkerijen en veel leuke eetgelegenheden. Het feit dat het dorp plat is, zorgt ervoor dat u gemakkelijk kunt rondreizen. Goede wandelingen vanuit het dorp hoewel voor degenen die willen. We hebben echt genoten van de gemakkelijke wandeling naar Lower Slaughter voor de lunch en naar Upper Slaughter. North Cottage ten zeerste aanbevelen
Sheila2019-09-02T00:00:00ZHet is een absoluut geweldige locatie in een prachtige omgeving. We konden gewoon uitstappen en naar de beste plaatsen lopen. De communicatie was geweldig en de plaats was sprankelend schoon (beter dan sommige hotels).

SuperhostWelcome to The Sanctuary, brought to you exclusively by Character Cottages, local specialists in stylish, Cotswold holiday rentals.
The Sanctuary forms part of a converted church with an enviable position just moments from the market square in the picturesque market town of Stow-on-the-Wold. Sitting on top a hill, surrounded by the stunning Cotswold countryside, Stow is famous for its historic buildings and its wide range of restaurants, traditional pubs and antique shops. It is an ideal base for exploring the region, including the many lovely towns and villages of the Cotswolds, as well as further afield places such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford and Bath.

- Special Events: Christmas, New Year and the Cheltenham Horse Racing Festival are Special Events, with bookings typically limited to weeks only from a specific start day
If your dates don’t appear to fit, then please click Contact Host below to find out what options may exist for you!
The main door of the building opens into a communal lobby and The Sanctuary’s front door opens into a hallway, off which are the following rooms, all with underfloor heating:
Living/dining room/kitchen: This smart open plan living space has been finished to a high standard with wooden floors and a high west-facing window which floods the living area with natural light.

Located in the north Cotswolds, Stow-on-the-Wold is one of the principal market towns in the region. The main feature of the town is the historic market square which used to play host to the annual sheep fairs where, at the height of the Cotswold wool industry, up to 20,000 sheep were sold at one time.
The market square is steeped in history and has two features which date back to the medieval period. At one end of the square there is the medieval cross which was erected to urge traders to carry out fair business under the eyes of God, and at the far end stand the town stocks which are found in the shadows of the old elm tree.
Originally known as Edwardstow or Stow St Edward after the town's patron saint Edward, the town's church is also named after him. The church is just 100 yards from the town square and is a lovely place for locals and tourists alike to get some peace from the bustling market square. The north door is guarded by two yew trees and is a focal point of the town.
Stow has traditional narrow alleyways, or "tures" as they were once known, which wind their way through the centre of the town. It is these same alleyways that were once used to channel the sheep to the fair.
Another point of interest in the town is the well in Well Lane which is now a Grade II Listed Building. As a result of the rather unique geology of the area, water held in the higher layers of the limestone bursts out of various fissures on the slopes and two do still work as wells now.
Food & Drink
Stow has numerous places to eat and drink, with a range of cuisines and prices to suit all tastes and budgets. The list below is a small sample of the range of options available:
The Queens Head Inn (www.donnington-brewery.com/the_queens_head_stow_on_the_wold): The Queens Head is a traditional town pub, owned by the local Donnington brewery. Here locals mix with tourists who are unsurprisingly attracted into this lovely old pub. Good traditional pub food and ale, in a great atmosphere;
The Sheep (www.thesheepstow.co.uk): A seasonal menu with pizzas being a major focus. There is a wood-fired oven in the restaurant, where you can watch your freshly made pizza cook;
The Talbot: Laid back drinking, eating and coffees in a traditional meeting place for the town slap bang in the Square. Sofas, original paintings, rickety old tables and chairs, with staff who are under the threat of death if they are not friendly!
White Hart (www.thewhitehartstow.com): A 'boutique' style Inn, which has recently been beautifully refurbished throughout. The Inn boasts two cosy bars, lots of open fires and an atmospheric dining room. Hearty food is served during the day, with finer dining in the evening. All food is sourced locally and prepared on the premises;
The Bell (www.thebellatstow.com): The Bell at Stow is the perfect country pub. Behind the ivy-clad façade lies a charming, stylish interior with the warmest of welcomes. A favourite with the locals, The Bell is open all day every day offering everything from a pint of well-kept cask ale through to a delicious three-course supper.
Stow has a Tesco and a Co-op for regular food purchases and, for special treats, there is a traditional butcher's shop and a number of delicatessens specialising in local produce, including:
Lambournes Butchers (www.lambournesbutchers.co.uk): A family owned, multi-award winning traditional butchers, renowned for locally-produced meat, poultry and game, sourced from hand-picked suppliers. Referring to the owner, the BBC's Adam Henson has observed that "what Bob doesn't know about sausages isn't worth knowing";
Cotswold Food Store and Café (www.cotswoldfoodstore.co.uk): The Cotswold Food Store and Café offers a huge variety of delicious local foods, ranging from locally sourced vegetables, meat, eggs and bread to charcuterie, hams and pates in its deli counter. The adjoining café offers freshly prepared meals by resident chef Sonya Kidney, along with home-made cakes, biscuits and light bites;
Hamptons Fine Foods (www.hamptons-hampers.co.uk): Hamptons offer a wide range of quality foods to discerning customers. The shelves are packed with exclusive and delicious fine foods that one would not normally find in the mass outlets. A veritable Aladdin's cave. Hamptons specialise in gourmet hampers which can be collected from their shop or delivered direct.
Wat een locatie! Perfect gepositioneerd in het midden van Stow met een paar plaatsen om te eten, drinken en winkelen op slechts een steenworp afstand. Het check-in proces was een makkie. Mijn auto parkeren was een non-issue wat mijn enige zorg was voordat ik aankwam! De Santuary is een geweldige plek om te verblijven! We zullen terugkomen. Paul & Sam.
Paul2019-10-14T00:00:00ZDit is een fantastisch stijlvol en zeer comfortabel appartement op een geweldige locatie in Stow. Als je een geweldige plek wilt om jezelf te vestigen om Stow en de andere prachtige Cotswold-steden te verkennen, raden we dit prachtige appartement aan.
Paula2019-09-27T00:00:00ZWe hielden van dit appartement. Stow is een prachtige kleine stad en om daar te zijn in het hart ervan is fantastisch. Zeer stijlvol. Alles wat je nodig hebt voor een paar dagen in de Cotswolds. De eigenaren zijn uiterst vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Communicatie is uitstekend. Ik zou afdrukinstructies voor toegang willen aanbevelen, aangezien er een paar stappen zijn om te volgen.
Lesley Erica2019-09-03T00:00:00ZIk verbleef hier voor mijn 29e verjaardag. We waren erg onder de indruk van de hoge standaard van The Sanctuary - waarschijnlijk de beste Airbnb waar ik heb verbleven! Super schoon, comfortabel bed en had alles wat we nodig hadden. Jennie was erg aardig en behulpzaam via e-mail voorafgaand aan ons verblijf. Ze liet ons zelfs 2 flessen bier om mee te vieren :) Locatie was perfect, veel plaatsen om lokaal te parkeren en inchecken was eenvoudig. Zou het ten zeerste aanbevelen om hier te verblijven.

Leuk huisje in een vriendelijk dorp. Honden verwelkomd. Zou aanraden.
Anna2018-09-18T00:00:00ZMooie periode huisje in het hart van de Cotswolds in een zeer rustig en schilderachtig dorp. Einde van terras, weg van de hoofdweg dus nog rustiger, ruim van alle gemakken (van vaatwasser tot föhn), buitenruimte, twee ruime slaapkamers en open haard. Schoon, veel zachte handdoeken, wonky, eeuwenoude vloeren en trappenhuis, het is vol charme. Het is een geweldige locatie om zo'n prachtig deel van Engeland te verkennen, heel dicht bij Stow, Bourton on the Water, etc. Het dorp heeft niets, zelfs niet een winkel, dus misschien niet voor iedereen geschikt; de lokale pub is mooi en ongeveer 30 seconden lopen, maar de accommodatie heeft geen eigen parkeergelegenheid en wanneer de pub druk is, is het een probleem!
Federica2018-04-02T00:00:00ZHeerlijk klein, knus huisje in Cotswold. Geweldige lokale pub

At the top of the stairs, French doors open out onto an elevated walkway that leads round to the back of The Sycamore’s patio.

Middle Gable The Old Hall is accessed via its garden, which leads to the beautiful wooden front door. Inside the house, a small entrance hall leads into:
Living room: A grand room, which has been newly refurbished in a traditional style, enhancing the abundance of period features, including stone mullion windows, a large fireplace with wood-burning stove, wooden beams and a centuries old alcove.

In Middle Gable The Old Hall’s garden, extending from the front of the house, there is a bench, for relaxing and looking out over all the gardens, as well as a paved seating area, which contains an outdoor table and chairs. At the end of the garden is a double garage for guest use.
Bourton-on-the-Water is arguably one of the most popular villages of the Cotswolds, especially amongst overseas visitors. Having been nicknamed the "Venice of the Cotswolds", its scenery is the main draw for travellers. The River Windrush meanders through beautiful English countryside before passing over rapids next to the Old Mill and arriving at Bourton.

SuperhostA stylish open plan barn conversion, with gorgeous uninterrupted Cotswold countryside views.
It's in a private setting, perfect for couples or solo visitors.
Situated on the edge of a beautiful village, it's an ideal base for enjoying all the Cotswolds has to offer, including great walking and cycling, lovely country pubs and famous cultural/sporting events in nearby Cheltenham (@10 miles). Alternatively you can just relax, enjoy the scenery and do nothing at all.
We are perched on top of a hill on the edge of a beautiful and typical Cotswold village in an area of outstanding natural beauty. At the top of our driveway, tucked away from the main house, is our barn. If you are looking for something a little bit different but with a modern feel, gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside and privacy, then this will be for you.
Our pool house was converted from a small stone barn and, as the name suggests, there is an outdoor pool and one side of the building looks out on to this (though it's only open June-August). The other side looks out on to uninterrupted views of magnificent rolling hills, complete with sheep, pheasants and birds of prey. Outdoor furniture is available.
Inside it's a little non-conventional, and is open plan, with a mezzanine bedroom area that has a huge gable-end window and an 11-rung wall-fixed ladder to get you up to it. Up there is a low-level double bed and a cargo net that pulls across the mezzanine opening for extra safety, if needed.
NB We are very sorry but this won't be suitable for anyone who cannot ably and confidently use a ladder to go both up and down.
There is a separate toilet with a small hand basin and a walk-in overhead shower (please note no bath) with a connecting changing area where you can also store/hang things out of the way.
The main room is open plan and has a kitchen area with an island and seating for 6. It's well equipped and includes gas hob, electric oven, fridge with small freezer box, dishwasher, microwave, toaster and kettle (no washing machine/dryer).
There is a huge, very comfy corner sofa for relaxing and there's a TV with an Amazon Firestick with a small selection of channel apps including Netflix and Amazon Prime.
It has under floor heating throughout.
Please note we do not have curtains on the massive sliding doors on each side, however it is private where the barn is situated with no buildings overlooking it. There are removable blackouts that can be used on the gable-end window on the mezzanine/bedroom level, for those who prefer less light when sleeping.
Outside there's a lovely deck and beyond the pool is a private garden area leading on to a paddock.
Wifi works very well, mobile not very well at all, though you can hook-up to the wifi and use wifi calling, if you have it and that works perfectly.
Our area is very beautiful, very green, very quiet and very rural. This makes for a relaxing and peaceful stay. It's also super-dark at night as we have no street lights.
If you are looking for night-life you'd have to go to Cheltenham (15 mins drive, cab possible with a bit of pre-planning).
Please note you will have to drive to get to a pub or shop.

The Studio is a cosy single storey self-contained annexe to the owner's house in the Cotswold village of Poulton. Double bedroom, en suite shower room, fully equipped kitchen/living room with sofa bed, private courtyard garden. WiFi, underfloor heating, freesat TV, parking. Basic breakfast included. Great village pub nearby.
Bed linen and towels are provided. On-drive parking is available for two vehicles. The property is adjoined to the owner's family house, but is completely self-contained with its own access. There is space to store bicycles securely (behind a locked gate). To the rear there is a small, private courtyard garden.
The property is self-catering but the cupboards are stocked with items for a basic breakfast, plus tea and coffee.
The property is compact but well-equipped and newly decorated and furbished throughout. Everything is brand new and clean: the conversion was completed in January 2016. It will sleep two comfortably. There is also a double sofa bed which will sleep a further two people, but space is very limited when the sofa bed is extended, and it is a bit of a squeeze. Please also be aware that access to the toilet and shower room is through the bedroom.
Babies and children of all ages are very welcome.
The village of Poulton has a shop, a well-equipped children's park, a church and a fantastic dining pub, The Falcon Inn, which is renowned for its quality food (booking for dinner, particularly at weekends, is advised, as they are often fully booked in advance). Poulton is also home to Performance Cycles (cycling club), and the area is very popular with cyclists at all levels.
The village is well situated within the Cotswolds, 5 miles from Cirencester, 3 miles from Fairford, 4 miles from Bibury, and within a half-hour drive of Cheltenham, Stow-on-the-Wold, Burford, Malmesbury and Bourton-on-the-Water. Oxford, Bath and Stonehenge are all within an hour's drive. Kemble train station is 10 miles away, with the journey to London Paddington taking just under an hour and a half. Beautiful countryside is on the doorstep - just step outside and start walking!
Nearby attractions include the Cotswold Wildlife Park, Cotswold Water Park (with watersports and a beach), the famous village of Bibury (described by William Wordsworth as "the most beautiful village in England") with its trout farm, Cirencester with its boutique shops, spa hotel, gastropubs and historic architecture, Adam Henson's Cotswold Farm Park, and Swindon's Steam Museum and designer shopping outlet centre. Oxford, Bath and Stonehenge are all within an hour's drive. National Trust attractions include Chedworth Roman Villa, Buscot Park and Hidcote Manor Gardens, and the fantastic Westonbirt Arboretum is also nearby.
Local events include the Royal International Air Tattoo in July, the Cheltenham Gold Cup and Cheltenham Festival in March, the Cotswold Show in July, Cirencester's Phoenix Festival (family music weekend) in August, and WOMAD world music festival in July. Westonbirt Arboretum holds autumn colour events, and Colesbourne Park holds snowdrops walks in the winter.

Surrounded by nothing but acres of fields filled with wildlife, College Farm Cottage is a charming 18th Century child- and dog-friendly* property, sleeping 3 guests in 2 bed-rooms with 1 bathroom. A short drive from the Cotswold towns of Burford and Lechlade, College Farm Cottage is perfect for guests seeking open space and tranquillity, with plenty of walking routes quite literally on your doorstep.
*Dogs: Up to 2 well-behaved dogs are welcome at the cottage at an additional cost of £30 per dog. Please let us know if you will be bringing a dog(s) and we will then revise your booking confirmation.
Introduction
Low hedges, acres of flat green fields and an abundance of wildlife – these are the scenes that will greet you as you head towards College Farm Cottage. Situated on the expansive Bradwell Grove Estate, home to the Cotswold Wildlife Park, it’s hard to im-agine that you are only a few miles from Burford and Lechlade. As you make your way along the open fence-less lanes, you will almost feel as though you’re driving through the middle of the fields. Once you have arrived at the end of the farm track, you will find a delightful cottage with plenty of character – if you’re visiting in the summer months, you’ll even get to appreciate College Farm Cottage in all of its beautiful Wiste-ria–covered glory.
College farm was built in 1771 by Trinity College of the University of Oxford for the use of tenant farmers as a source of additional income for the college. A working farm up until recent years, College Farm is now owned by the Bradwell Grove Estate, home to the nearby Cotswold Wildlife Park that exhibits over 260 different species of ani-mals – on a quiet day you may even be able to hear the lions roaring from the cottage! Although College Farm is no longer a working farm, it is surrounded by mainly arable farmland, all of which is organic. With a strong emphasis on conservation around the estate, there is plenty of wildlife to observe, from ground nesting birds to deer. You only have to step outside of the door at College Farm Cottage and you are right in the heart of unspoilt countryside, with bridle paths and walking routes running alongside the farmyard.
Inside, the cottage is a lovely mix of traditional and new. The original flagstone flooring and woodburner add a touch of rustic charm, while there’s a new JVC Smart TV for guest use. Benefitting from a bright and airy feeling throughout, the cottage is decorat-ed in neutral tones, accented by quirky pops of colour and unique pieces of art and furniture. The back door opens out into a garden, while the windows boast views of nothing but green fields and the historic farmyard buildings. If you’re looking for peace, tranquillity and open starry skies, you’ve come to the right place.
Despite its rural location, College Farm Cottage is just a 5-10 minute drive from the beautiful market town of Burford, where you will find artisan boutiques, cosy cafés, and interesting pubs. Walk to the top of the High Street and look back down the hill to enjoy one of the most exquisite views in the Cotswolds – and perhaps the finest ‘streetscape’ in England!

Sitting Room
A bright and spacious living space, the Sitting Room has a wonderful quintessential country cottage feel to it. Painted in fresh cream and white tones, the room has a cosy feel thanks to a corner lamp and its central feature, the woodburning stove. Set in the original fireplace, guests are welcome to use the woodburner, with a basket of logs provided. The original flagstone flooring is a characterful feature of this property, eve-ry stone is individual and unique. The Sitting Room boasts some beautiful pieces of furniture and artwork, adding eccentric and colourful highlights to a lovely relaxing room. There is a JVC Smart TV for guests to use, as well as a selection of books and games on the built-in shelves next to the fireplace. The WIFI router can be found in the Sitting Room window.
To the left of the entrance to the Kitchen there is a latched cupboard. In here you will find an ironing board, iron, high chair, clothes airer and a mop & bucket.

Family Bathroom
The bathroom offers guests a bath with a fixed overhead shower, toilet and washbasin with one of the loveliest views in the cottage!
Outside
The garden of College Farm Cottage can be accessed via the back door from the Kitch-en. A great space for children to play or to even enjoy a BBQ or drink in the sun, the private garden is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the tranquillity of the country-side, except for maybe the occasional lion roar…
Benefitting from the best of both worlds, College Farm Cottage enjoys a secluded location but is also the perfect location for exploring Burford and the wider Cotswolds. Please see the framed OS map in the sitting room where College Farm sits exactly cen-trally. In just a 5-10 minute drive you will find yourself on the High Street of Burford, a stunning medieval market town with plenty to offer. The excellent Co-operative su-permarket on the High Street stocks all immediate shopping requirements and is open 7am – 10pm every day of the week. There is also a Co-operative supermarket in Lech-lade, a 5-10 minute drive in the opposite direction to Burford, open 8am-8pm every day.
There are some great cafés in Burford. Head towards the historic church and you will discover the newly built Warwick Hall and café, ideal for a morning coffee and snacks. Another good spot for a reviving cup of coffee or tea is Lynwood & Co on the High Street, where you can also buy delicious local artisan-made Sourdough bread and of course the famous Huffkins tea shop. If you find yourself parking in the main car park for Burford near the church (free parking) you will cross the mill-race connecting to the charming River Windrush that meanders through the Cotswolds, a lovely spot to feed the ducks and swans!
Burford used to be a major coaching town between London and the West Country and was home to 35 coaching inns! The town still retains 13 pubs, of which some favour-ites are The Angel, a very good gastropub, The Highway and The Lamb on Sheep Street. There’s also a great variety of specialist shops to explore – including Maggie White and the fascinating Tolsey Museum.
Alternatively, The Victoria in Eastleach, a very pretty Cotswold village nearby, is about an hour walk from the cottage and is a wonderful pub with good food, recommended by Emma and William. Also highly recommended - The Five Alls in Filkins and The Bell in Langford, both excellent pubs. All are popular so booking is essential.
Around 5 miles south of the cottage, you will find Lechlade-on-Thames, a small historic town on the Thames, from which London could be reached by boat. With plenty of walks, a thriving market square, pubs, cafes and antique shops, Lechlade is slightly off the beaten tourist track compared to Burford and makes for a great day out. Here you will find a fantastic butcher, Cutler & Bayliss, selling high quality meat, cheese, fresh vegetables and bread as well as another Lynwood & Co café.
If you fancy exploring a bit further afield, the beautiful ancient Roman market town of Cirencester is about 10 miles south and also there’s Witney which is an easy 11-mile drive east towards Oxford. Like Cirencester it has a great array of high street shops, larger supermarkets such as M&S, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s, eateries and a modern cinema complex. Also, around 15 miles away is the renowned Daylesford Organic Farm in Kingham, a farm complex that offers a farm shop, restaurant, spa as well as other activities such as farm tours and cooking courses. See the Burford Guidebook for further information.
We hebben een geweldige tijd gehad in het huisje, wat precies was wat we nodig hadden. De setting was erg mooi, en we genoten van het gebruik van de houtkachel in de woonkamer, wat hielp met het koude weer! Het was ook heerlijk om de nabijgelegen historische stad Burford te verkennen.
Lottie2019-11-24T00:00:00ZHet huisje was geweldig en erg schoon toen we aankwamen! Het huisje ligt in een heel rustige omgeving en de gastheren zijn erg responsief. Heerlijke plek om te verblijven!
Sheyi2019-08-25T00:00:00ZCollege Farm Cottage ligt op een geweldige, rustige en landelijke locatie, in een rijke uitgestrektheid van weelderige landbouwgrond met een aantal mooie wandelingen bij de hand. Elk van de nabijgelegen dorpen is charmant en pittoresk en er zijn veel fijne plekken in elk voor eten en drinken. Het huisje is comfortabel en ruim, goed uitgerust en zorgvuldig ingericht.

Welcome to The Hermitage, brought to you exclusively by Character Cottages, local specialists in stylish, Cotswold holiday rentals.
The Hermitage is a romantic Cotswold stone cottage, located in the large grounds of a beautiful manor house in the picturesque village of Poulton, surrounded by beautiful countryside. Although small, Poulton has a well-regarded pub and a nice park close to the cottage. The village is five miles away from the Roman town of Cirencester, the largest market town in the Cotswolds, and is also close to many other picture-postcard Cotswold villages, including Bibury, Barnsley and Eastleach, with the stunning Coln Valley just a short drive away. As well as being close to the many beautiful towns and villages of the Cotswolds, Poulton is also well placed for exploring further afield places, such as Oxford, Bath, or even a day-trip into London.

- Special Events: Christmas, New Year and the Cheltenham Horse Racing Festival are Special Events, with bookings typically limited to weeks only from a specific start day
If your dates don’t appear to fit, then please click Contact Host below to find out what options may exist for you!
Sitting in the grounds of Poulton’s lovely manor house, The Hermitage is a charming, self-contained cottage. The lovely oak front door opens into the main room, and the following rooms are in the cottage:
Bedroom/living room: A stylish and inviting space with stone mullion windows and a cosy wood burning stove. This large room contains a king size bed, a dining table with four chairs, an arm chair, small sofa and a Smart TV;
Kitchen: A step leads down from the living area to the well-presented kitchen, which contains an electric oven, four ring induction hob, fridge, slimline dishwasher, washing machine, toaster and kettle;
Bathroom: Located off the kitchen, the bathroom contains a large walk in shower, toilet and wash basin.
Directly outside the cottage, there is a private, unenclosed garden area. This includes a peaceful patio area, with a table and four chairs, plus a charcoal barbecue. There is private parking for one car directly outside the cottage.
The Cotswolds are characterised by attractive small towns and villages, built of the underlying Cotswold stone (a yellow oolitic limestone). In the Middle Ages the wool trade made the Cotswolds prosperous and some of this money was put into the building of churches, leaving the area with a number of large handsome Cotswold stone "wool churches". The area remains affluent, which has encouraged the establishment of many high quality pubs, restaurants and antique shops.
We brachten vier nachten door in de Hermitage en vonden het absoluut geweldig. Het huisje is prachtig ingericht en zo gezellig met een grote houtkachel, volledig uitgeruste keuken en badkamer. We voelden ons daar echt thuis. Buiten is er een prachtige ommuurde moestuin en een echt geweldige pub tegenover die heerlijk eten had. De hele ervaring was een ware traktatie en zou het zeker aan iedereen aanbevelen!
Sophie2020-02-10T00:00:00ZMooie kleine plaats - voelt erg privé en gezellig, en alle meubels in de flat zijn top. Goede locatie als uitvalsbasis voor wandelingen in de omgeving, raad Bibury aan.

Pet Farm animals live in the paddocks opposite the pods - goats, donkeys, alpaca and a pig - they love you to visit them during your stay.
Notgrove Estate is one of the few remaining privately owned Cotswold estates offering 1500 acres of private rolling farmland. We have mapped out walks, around the estate and local area and can recommend longer walks if required. Our working farm has sheep and cattle as well as our pet goats, donkeys and alpaca who live just across the track from the pods . You can hire bikes from the local company via our website.
We are ideally located to visit the local attractions of Bourton on the Water (3 miles) Stow on the Wold (5 miles) or Burford, Stratford Upon Avon, Cheltenham.
Adam Henson's Cotswold Farm Park is a 15 minute drive away and The Cotswold Wildlife Park is a 25 drive away. Bourton on the Water is 3 miles down the road and has many Cotswold wonders such as Birdland, The Model Railway and the Miniature Village - as well as lovely cafes and shops.
The local pub is The Plough at Cold Aston, this is a 1.5 miles walk from us across the fields or down a quiet lane - with lovely food and beers. Or The Black Horse at Naunton is also a lovely village pub with great pub food and a cosy atmosphere.
The Notgrove Estate is a 1500 acre family run working farm owned by Harry and Diana Acland. Set high up in the Cotswold Hills it has 400 acres of grassland in deep valleys and 100 acres of woodland and rolling arable fields. The farm has a mix of sheep, cattle and arable and has diversified with two horse livery yards and a holiday cottage business.
In the last few years Harry and Diana have put in new foot and bridle paths and entered into a wildlife conservation scheme planting 200 acres of special plots planted with wild bird mixes, corn bunting mixes, pollen and nectar mixes for bees and beetle banks that promotes the preservation of our natural wild birds.
The scenery changes with each season as does the pattern of farming; we have an abundance of lambs and calves in spring, harvest in summer, colourful autumn leaves and dramatic winters, often with snow.
Geweldige plek om een paar dagen te ontsnappen. Mooie plek voor een stel.
Antonio2020-01-05T00:00:00ZMooi! Zo'n mooie ruimte in een prachtige omgeving van de Cotswolds, perfect voor het verkennen van steden in de buurt. Katie was erg meegaand en de pod was heel schattig!
Lexie2019-11-20T00:00:00ZBedankt Katie voor de geweldige ervaring, we hielden ervan bij jou te blijven! Zou graag terugkomen.
Santa2019-10-30T00:00:00ZWe hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad in de pods! Ze zijn zo praktisch en gezellig voor een kort uitje, we hadden letterlijk alles wat we nodig hadden en de privacy van de kleine ruimte en de vuurplaats voor de pod was een pluspunt. Absoluut de perfecte locatie als je in de natuur wilt blijven en van het platteland wilt genieten!
Diana2019-09-08T00:00:00ZDe buurt is erg mooi! Er zijn alpaca's, varkens en geiten op de boerderij! En de hond van de eigenaar is heel schattig en vriendelijk!
