Step into this charming cottage and immerse yourself in southern Cotswolds charm. This delightful home is in Bampton, one of the oldest villages in England and one you might recognise as the village in Downton Abbey. The cottage is 200 years old, boasting original features including exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace, and low ceilings – tall guests, be warned. It’s a cosy, attractive cottage, with a conservatory that leads to the private garden and courtyard. Walk to village pubs in five minutes, explore the Oxfordshire countryside, or simply curl up beside the fire and unwind.
