This enchanting holiday home sits in the heart of historic Burford, just moments from the bustling high street. Dating back 400 years, Farthingdales was once two houses and is today one exquisite retreat which has been elegantly finished with two gorgeous bedrooms, a wood burning stove and a hidden garden. The medieval bridge crossing the River Windrush is a stone’s throw away and the atmospheric church sits at the end of the lane. Staying here you are perfectly situated for exploring the Cotswolds, from Blenheim and Oxford to Cheltenham and Stow-on-the-Wold.

We were delighted to arrive at Farthingdales to be welcomed with a wreathe on the door and a lovely real Christmas tree. The property was very attractive and comfortable.

A guide to the working of the microwave and coffee machine would have been helpful.
Also sturdy heat resistant gloves for handling the logs/fire.

The main bedroom was cold and the radiator didn't seem to be working?

Otherwise we really liked it.

We used this as a cottage for me and my bridesmaids to get ready in the morning of my wedding. Perfect communal space and everything was furnished beautifully.

We enjoyed every minute staying in this gorgeous cottage. The location, amenities + the spaciousness of this lovely historical house was worth every penny. The kitchen was well equipped, it had everything we needed for our 8 day stay. We would highly recommend Farthingdales as it very comfortable. Should we ever go back to The Cotswolds we would definitely choose to stay here again.

A delightful cottage in the heart of Burford. The cottage was immaculately clean and tidy and extremely comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. Parking was never an issue and the house was charming. Oxford was an easy drive and the villages of the Costwolds are all within easy reach.

It was a true pleasure to stay with our family of 4 in this lovely cottage. The interior is so high-end in every detail with a classic Cotswolds look-and-fool. Also the location in Burford is perfect with all amenities / nice local pubs at a few steps away!



A perfect getaway!

My husband and I stayed at Farthingdales for 4 nights. We both really wished we stayed longer! The cottage was just as described: very cozy, had comfortable bed (we only tried the king), clean and perfectly located. It had everything we needed. I have absolutely nothing negative to say. Booking and Check-in were easy. We’ll definitely come back for a longer stay!

We have stayed at Farthingdales Cottage the second time this summer and we loved it even more this time. The Cottage is beautifully decorated, has a very cosy yet stylish (but not overstyled) look and feel and is the perfect home away from home. This time, the weather was not as warm/sunny as during our stay in 2022, so we made good use of the wood burner in the living room and had cosy nights in in front of the fire with a glass of wine.

The cottage is spotlessly clean and has everything (and more) you need to make yourself feel at home. We especially love the open space living/dining room, the master bedroom upstairs and also the nice cottage garden, which is a sun trap during the whole day (if the sun is shining). Parking is on street and not an issue at all - we found our space, even on the busier weekends.

Burford is such a lovely village with lots of nice shops, a cheese monger and great pubs. Also, within a short driving you will find Daylesford Farm or the Wild Rabbit Pub in Kingham. Cheltenham with its lively highstreet and great restaurants is a short 30 minutes drive away, as is Oxford. So all in all, Burford sits ideally to benefit from everything the Cotswolds has to offer.

We are looking forward to staying again at Farthingdales and will highly recommend this property to our friends and families.

We loved our stay at Farthingdales. The garden was beautiful, quiet and secluded. The house was amazing. Old and characterful. Everything you needed for a perfect holiday. A book is provided of the history of the village which we enjoyed doing. There are lovely walks from the door. Plenty places to eat. The only disappointing thing is having to leave and go home.

3 of us spent 6 days here after doing the Blenheim Team Triathlon and used it as a base for relaxing cycling around the beautiful local country lanes. Every aspect of Farthingdales is a delight. Interior design/decor is striking with lots of attention to detail. So, so stylish. Every comfort thought of and the squirrel climbing the lamp above the kitchen bar is typical of the quirkiness of this beautiful house. Right in centre of town yet quiet. Garden to relax in. Parking outside front door no problem. This house is a perfect combination of comfort and class.

We had a lovely time in this beautifully presented, cosy cottage in the wonderful town of Burford. The super king size bed is the most comfortable that I have ever slept in. Everything you need for the perfect Cotswolds break.

We really enjoyed our stay at Farthingdales. It's the perfect location to access all the beauty the Cotswolds has to offer and Burford itself is a lovely town with plenty of shops and restaurants and pubs. The house itself is lovely, very clean with modern appliances and comforts. The kitchen in particular is very well stocked with everything you'd need to cook and we loved having breakfast at the breakfast bar counter. Bed was comfortable and loved the little hidden backyard garden and the proximity to the beautiful old church. Highly recommend for a weekend getaway.

We stayed 4 nights in Farthingdales, the place was very close to the village center. Beautiful interior With lovey decor and furniture, the kitchen was fully equipped.
There was a small backyard but i was separated from the house.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience, I would definitely recommend it.

A typical Cotswold cottage, well decorated with interesting details, a well equipped kitchen, lovely private garden, two bathrooms, great beds, several up to date devices. Close to an astonishing medieval church and Burford's High Street just around the corner.
Unfortunately, some of the appliances didn't work al too well.
The waste bins were full as we arrived and nobody came to empty them. Although there were lots of instructions in the folder, nothing is said about a possibility of placing the bins down the street at the right time, so we could do little more than fill them yet a bit more.
The beds are great, but the duvets are rather thick, not exactly suitable when the temperature rises up to 40 degrees.



Bolthole Retreats replied more than 1 year ago
Hello, thank you for your helpful feedback. Unfortunately, the bins were not clearly marked and it appears the neighbours bins were used, which were, as you noted, full. The owners are now marking their bins and adding clear information about collection day etc. They will also check the appliances and are investigating summer weight duvets in the cottage. Best wishes, Bolthole Retreats

What a wonderful stay we had in Farthingdales. The cottage had been furnished to a very high standard and was in a fabulous location. Don’t be put off with the potential need to park in the nearby car park. It is a very short walk away, and pleasant enough.

Hikes, pubs, shops are all just a short walk away. The Cotswolds Wildlife Park was an excellent day out, as was the visit to Bourton-on-the-Water.

Only points to consider was the accuracy of the bins and where to find them (description in the house booklet didn’t quite match), and the Wi-Fi code is incorrectly listed in the booklet also (have a look under the router-capital ‘L’). Very, very minor points that had not impact on our wonderful stay. Enjoy!!!

Dear Chris, thank you for your lovely and helpful review and for pointing out the typo in the WiFi information, which has now been updated. (We are investigating why the bins were not in their correct place as outlined in the Guide.) We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back to Farthingdales or one of our other Cotswold properties in the near future. Best wishes, Bolthole Retreats
