Stone Cottage

Holiday Rental Description

When you think of a cottage in the Cotswolds, you’re likely imagining this very home. It was recently refurbished, so the cottage has retained its original wood beams and stone walls, but is now a picture of comfort and cosiness.

You’ll wake up in the morning feeling refreshed after a great night’s sleep – your host knows how important these things are so has equipped the bedrooms with room-darkening shades and oh-so-comfortable bedding. Family breakfasts can be enjoyed around the long dining table while you decide how to spend your day.

You might like to spend your mornings exploring further afield. The pretty villages of the Cotswolds are dotted all around, so you don’t have to drive far to find a picturesque scene. Blenheim Palace is a thirteen-minute drive, and you can hop on a train to Oxford and be there in twenty-nine minutes.

The cottage is in the market town of Charlbury, which boasts three pubs and a great park. There’s a library with a great children’s section and a charming cafe, so your rainy days are sorted. This is a wonderfully family-friendly home – the host has even created a dressing-up box for little ones.

When the sun shines you can sit out on the patio while the kids play on the lawn. When it turns chillier you might move inside to curl up around the wood-burning stove. Play board games, sip wine, and relax. This is what holidays are all about.


Home truths:
*The fourth bedroom has bunk beds so is best suited to children – the top bunk is suitable for children aged 6 and over
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones – just bring your own top bedding for the cot
*Your host kindly asks that you remove outdoor shoes upon arrival – bring slippers as the stone floor in the kitchen can be chilly
*There are a few steps to the garden so children should be supervised, and those with limited mobility may need a hand
