The Chestnuts has all you need for a perfect stay. Its old world charm; with beams, inglenook fireplace and stone floors is enhanced with a palette of whites and neutrals for a truly relaxing space. The Cottage is full of luxuries from eco friendly toiletries, to crisp linen sheets, goose down duvets and an espresso coffee machine. Outside the garden has places to dine, sit or lounge and the view over to the village ford is magical.

Great cottage in a fantastic location in a beautiful Cotswolds village

The Chestnuts is a very well appointed 4 bedroom cottage right in the heart of the beautiful Cotswold village of Shilton. The cottage is fully stocked with everything you need for a self-catered stay, and opposite a fine dining pub if you choose to eat out. The owners could not have been more helpful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Location was perfect for exploring the area. Easy and comfortable space to host our guests.
Pub opposite had good food and lovely service.
The owners were attentive. Operational guidelines were clear. Forwarding our forgotten items was kind and efficient.
Pots and pans could do with an upgrade. Otherwise superbly equipped.

Thank you so much for your review. I am so pleased you had a great stay. I am sorry you felt the pots and pans needed an upgrade, following your comment I have had a good look at them all and I wasn’t sure what the problem is and would love you to clarify. They are top quality stainless steel induction pans (Meyer). I do hope we can welcome you back to one of our cottages another time. With kindest regards Chris

The Chestnuts was the perfect setting for our family get together in the 4 days before our daughters wedding. Close to Burford and for the larger shops in Carterton should anything be required, the Cottage is a perfect space inside and outside for socializing and relaxing. The whole process from booking to check-out was seamlessly managed and was a total pleasure. The cottage is equipped with everything a family could need and it was presented beautifully - congratulations to the Eco Chic team - we would highly recommend a stay.

Our stay with friends was just what we all wanted from a pre Christmas December stay in The Cotswolds. The cottage was so welcoming, warm, well equipped and comfortable. We loved the wood burner in the main lounge, views from the garden lounge and the proximity to The Rose and Crown pub. Great landlord and terrific food. We will return. Thank you Chris and your amazing team.

The Chestnuts is an ideal Cotswold stay. Many generous rooms to host your family, well-equipped kitchen, all with with a tasteful modern aesthetic. The surroundings cooks not be better. The Rose and Crown, Shilton's village pub is outstanding and across the road, the water meadow and ford lead out from the garden, while Burford is just two miles away. The host and housekeeping crew are friendly and attentive. You will be in good hands when you stay here.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Chestnuts. The convenience of being just a short country walk to Burford was a highlight, with lots of lovely independent shops in the town. The cottage was very well equipped for all our needs, a real home from home. We all enjoyed the view from the cosy vaulted lounge. Some were lucky enough to see a barn owl. We enjoyed a short stroll to the village pub where the landlord made us feel very welcome.

Our second stay of three generations with more than enough comfortable space to relax in. Weather restricted our outdoor activities but there were no complaints about making the most of The Chestnuts. Rose and Crown opposite is very welcoming and the food on offer suited all.

Spent 5 nights here with our family 6 adults and one child(7). Plenty of space and kitchen well equipped. Lots of great board games and books. Shilton is a lovely village very quiet and the pub opposite was very welcoming and the food excellent.
The house has 2 staircases, one normal and one in the original building which is stone and spiral which needs care. Also there are steps from the master bedroom onto the landing and then another step into the bathroom, which we were aware of having stayed here before.
A really nice cottage in a great peaceful location but really easy to get to many other villages.

Our weekend stay, a group of old-friends, was excellent. Communication with the owner Christine, during the booking was prompt and straightforward. The Touchstay guide which Chris sent us a link to helped us plan the stay; loads of ideas and only the weekend to do them all. We followed the advice and consequently had great experiences: Rose and Crown in Shilton and Bell at Langford are lovely pubs serving fine food.

The Chestnuts itself is hard to fault. Loads of room, great garden for lounging in. Beds first rate comfortable. Showers were properly drenching and hot. Baths big enough to float in...almost!. There's enough of everything in the kitchen; no panicked washing up to have the plates we needed and anyway they all went in the dishwasher when we went out.

We might make this reunion an annual thing and we'd all happily converge here again.

The Chestnuts is outstanding.

We loved it. Weather was on our side so we got full advantage of the garden too

So much character in the cottage and everything we needed from wifi to those chef’s knives. Nice barbecue.

Several great meals out. Shilton’s Rose & Crown so convenient but also loved, as you suggested, the Swan at Swinbrook. Wow!!

Thanks for everything

The Chestnuts is a magical place to stay. It's in the heart of a beautiful village. The sun room, gardens, and neighboring water meadow create a balance between indoor and outdoor. The kitchen is well equipped for entertaining. Check in and service couldn't be easier.

Fabulous house and very comfortable. Really well equipped and great to have 3 sitting areas. Excellent communication with Chris. Garden was very pretty and everything you could need.
Only criticism would be to have shower in second bathroom .
Would definitely go back!

Chris replied more than 1 year ago
Hi Katie, thank you for your review and we are so pleased you loved The Chestnuts. Unfortunately we couldn’t put a shower and a bath into the second of the three bathrooms because of the limits in space and the bath we have there, because of its shape it is unable to have a shower screen fixed to it. We also know that some guests really relish the time to have an indulgent bath when on holiday, as a rare treat. Hopefully you were able to use one of the other two spa like rain-dance showers in the house. We really hope we have the opportunity to welcoming you back to one of our cottages again. Take care Chris

The whole family thought the accommodation was excellent. There was more than sufficient space for everyone not to feel on top of each other and the garden was a delight. The information and range of provision provided couldn't have been more comprehensive. The level of cleanliness was of the highest standard. Overall, the feeling was that this provided a benchmark to compare aspiring high quality accommodation against.

Dear John, Thank you so much for your wonderful review of The Chestnuts, I am so glad you all enjoyed it. The Chestnuts cottage and Shilton village are special places in the Cotswolds. From your review in the visitor book at the cottage I can see you visited The Burford Garden centre and discovered the amazing book shop there. For anyone who loves books it is a must visit. I do hope we can welcome you back at another time. In the meantime take care Chris

Loved it, would recommend to others.

A beautiful cottage in a small pretty village. We had plenty of room for six teens and adults, and with 3 reception rooms plenty of space for people to escape others to study or read! The kitchen was very well stocked with kitchenware, and cooking was a pleasure. Sadly the weather wasn't warm enough for us to sit outside but we loved sitting in the day room with its large windows overlooking the meadow next door and the pretty ford. In the evening we used the cosy room with the low beams, beware if you are tall!

One of the best things was all the local information that was made available, we did some lovely walks and happily worked our way through the list of recommended pubs and restaurants. And we went twice to the lovely garden centre cafe.

The cottage was absolutely excellent with all the facilities you need including very comfortable beds.
Shilton is a nice quiet village with a fabulous pub/restaurant across the road where the landlord and locals were very welcoming. Great location where we visited Burford which is a lovely place with lots of independent shops and eateries.
We also went to Woodstock for brunch and Blenheim Palace for the Christmas Market/Palace tour and Xmas Light walk which was amazing.
Would highly recommend this fabulous cottage

This cottage is amazing in every way. From the moment we walked in we knew we were going to be happy here. It is so light and airy. Lots of interconnecting spaces that make it great for a holiday with friends or in our case family. The room over looking the garden was really lovely, overlooking the well kept garden and the village. The house is really tasteful decorated and the beds are very comfortable. Shilton village is close to Burford and we had a lovely afternoon there. Plus went to Blenheim palace, Diddly Squat Farm, Adam Hensons Farm Park and the very close by Cotswold Wildlife park. There is so much to do in this area we will have to come back.

We so enjoyed our two night stay at Chestnuts. The cottage itself is beautiful, and every possible need is met within, including a wonderfully stocked kitchen, luxurious furnishings and bedding, plus delightful gardens and views. TVs, books and games galore are thoughtfully provided. Outside the property itself is a glorious Cotswold village complete with a natural ford, and top this all off with a lovely cosy pub straight across the street.
Add all the impossibly pretty nearby towns and villages a short drive away and you have the recipe for a perfect getaway. Two days was not enough!

The cottage is lovely, light and bright and yet cosy. Relaxing living spaces, fresh and comfortable beds and all impeccably clean. Everything in place that you could need in the kitchen. Loved the new garden room. With pretty views across the meadow to the ford, the little garden would be a perfect sun trap in warm weather. The cottage is perfectly placed for exploring the Cotswolds. We spent a wonderful family weekend and we’re sad to leave so soon. Hope to come back!

The house is a very tranquil place to relax and particularly loved the new garden room with comfy chairs, big windows and lots of light, looking out over the garden towards the stream and the ford. Very comfortable bed and great blackout curtains for a good night's sleep and lovely bathroom. We were really able to wind down and relax and enjoy everything the house had to offer, including excellent coffee bean grinder, great wine glasses (priority items!), and everything you need in the kitchen. Plus we were able to some nice exploring around the village of Shilton on foot - loved the church and churchyard up at the top of the valley. This is such a lovely part of the country to visit and there was no risk of not finding something interesting to do or visit locally, with all the information and ideas on hand at The Chestnuts. Will be back.

Two-generational winter break. What a treat it was for all of us. The cottage is really, really spacious and has so many sitting areas downstairs. Places for everyone to sit together or sit enjoy the view and birdlife or read. Lovely library. Bedrooms are super-comfy. Kitchen seems to have everything including lovely views.

Had a lovely stay at The Chestnuts. The huge log burner was a major bonus and spending quality time around the fire with the family was such a lovely way to bring in the new year. Plenty of walks from the doorstep and a pub just across the road. The cottage had everything we needed with lots of places to come together as a family but room to separate when needed - with 2 teenage kids! The garden is a huge bonus overlooking the ford within the pretty village of Shilton - very quiet, peaceful and private. If you are looking for an authentic cottage that has all the modern facilities in a quiet, peaceful, pretty Cotswolds village then this is the property for you. Thank you to Chris for being such a wonderful host.

A gorgeous Cotswolds cottage that suited our needs perfectly. 4 couples getting together for a pre Xmas weekend. The cottage was beautiful, really welcoming and very well equipped. It really is Eco friendly - even providing an electric car charger at the front of the property. Located just outside Burford in a picture perfect village with a great pub right opposite the property. The rooms were comfortable and clean, the kitchen was really well equipped. A few touches around the property made it feel very festive and we much appreciated the crackers and the bottle of fizz that were waiting on arrival! Highly recommend the Chestnuts - would love to come again and stay even longer as it was just so homely, we could have settled in for a while! One tip for future guests, if you are dining out and need a taxi - book one well in advance, they get so booked up especially at the weekend.

We had a magical time staying in the Chestnuts in the adorable village of Shilton. The property itself is stunning and spacious. We enjoyed the sitting room extension which is lined with windows to enjoy a cup of tea in the morning. The other sitting room had a large fireplace that kept us cosy at night. And I definitely took advantage of the big freestanding bath tub. Underfloor heating was another welcome surprise. The location is also ideal for exploring the Cotswolds while being not a far drive from London. There is a great pub across the street which we enjoyed dinner at one evening with the best bread and butter pudding I've ever tasted! And the adorable village of Burford is only a 2.5 mile walk away. We're so glad we found this cottage and we hope to come again every year!

The Chestnuts has been perfect for a really peaceful and relaxing break for us all. The house was a super base and being so close to the Rose and Crown pub was really fantastic. We had some really good meals there. Went to Witney and The Burford garden centre but really just spent most of the time chilling out at The Chestnuts. Thank you

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend.

The cottage has real character and we loved reading the history of the property and how it has developed over the years. The low beams did catch us out more times than we would like but there was plenty of space to choose from. We particularly liked the new sunroom, so comfy and light.

The Rose and Crown opposite served us very well, staying right opposite a decent pub was a real bonus. The fish pie was excellent and I was happily working my way through the pudding menu.

We loved Shilton as a base. It was such a peaceful spot but so close to so many things.

Dear Alison, thank you so much for your review. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and particularly the new garden room and I am sorry you had the odd encounter with a beam in the older part of the cottage. I too love the fish pie at The Rose and Crown and their desserts are delicious. I do hope we can welcome you and your family back to stay with us again someday. Take care Chris

Dear Kevan, thank you for your lovely comments and I am so glad you had a good time. I love the Rose and Crown too, I can never resist the Bread and Butter pudding dessert.

Ideal cottage for a family looking for a relaxing stay in the Cotswolds. The location is only a few miles from Burford and there are plenty of things to do in the surrounding area such as the willed life park and crocodile zoo. Clarkson's Farm is only about 25 mins drive also but be ready for the queue!
The cottage itself is lovely. 4 bedrooms that are in two areas completely separate from each other which is ideal. The outdoor area is spacious and gets plenty of sun. The conservatory is probably the best indoor space for summer. The main lounge is cosy but rather gloomy and probably an ideal space in winter. Beware the low beams.
Directly opposite the cottage is a pub that is handy for a drink and a good meal, but which also has restricted opening hours so it didn’t feel loud or intrusive.
Overall really good place.

Dear James, Thank you so much for your review. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at The Chestnuts. Yes the main beam in the original part of the cottages winter lounge, is a bit low, at 5.2" I manage to pop under it easily but I know that's not the same for everyone, fortunately all the other ceilings in the downstairs living area are higher. I think the Rose and Crown is still on slightly restricted hours due to staffing issues at the moment, which has hit the hospitality sector widely but hopefully they will soon be back to full hours. I do hope we can welcome you back to the Chestnuts in future. Take care Chris

A comfortable, calming house set in the middle of a lovely small village. The house had absolutely everything you would need for a weekend or two weeks away. We stayed over Christmas and New Year and it felt like home from home. Comfortable bedrooms, modern bathrooms, multiple reception rooms downstairs for people to do different activities and a beautiful garden with safe off street parking.

The Chesnuts is a lovely cottage in a sleepy village with a great pub directly opposite.
The property is very comfortable and has a very well equipped kitchen which opens onto the garden which catches the sun quite late into the evening - ideal for the BBQ. There are several seating areas inside and out. We slept in the bedroom above the kitchen with a very comfy bed, overlooking the garden and never heard a thing. One of our daughters slept on the roadside and could not believe how quiet it was!
Would just mention that there are several low beams (my husband has no spatial awareness and took a chunk out of his head) and the spiral stone stairs to our bedroom plus a double room would be a struggle for the elderly. There is a good set of stairs to the other two bedrooms.
For us it was perfect and would definitely look to stay again.

This is the second time we have stayed in one of eco chic cottages and both times it has proven to be an excellent choice
This property goes that bit further than most holiday rentals, with all the basics provided. Such as dishwasher tables, and refuse bags and excellent toiletries for us in all baths . Also the pub across they way was most convenient.

The standard for bed linen and bath towels was very good quality and the bath towels were the right size

We have had a number of visits to The Chestnuts now and it never disappoints. In a really lovely part of The Cotswolds, we always enjoy a trip to Burford, our favourite pubs (love The Five Alls - Filkins and Swan Southrop, as well as the village Rose and Crown) and walks round the village on a crisp winters day are idyllic. The house clearly has so much care and attention paid to it. Love that the kitchen is so well equipped, the beds comfy and the underfloor heating in winter make the bathrooms super luxurious. We know we will be back, your cottage revives our spirits.

From the moment we drove down the street to the Cheśtnuts we knew this was going to be a fantastic visit. We as a family brought our mum back to her ancestral home to enjoy her 80h Birthday.
What Chris has done to the house is amazing,all the improvements have been done sympatheticly to the original house.
Everything in the cottage is quality, even down to the fully stocked kitchen which even had a cake stand for mums cake. We actually couldn't believe how well equipped it was. We as a family all enjoy cooking this was done by ourselves in the cottage and had plenty of equipment to even cater for quests.
The garden is beautiful and has several areas to sit out and enjoy the scenery, had the weather not been so cold we could have even had a barbecue as all the equipment was available for our use.
We had a family gathering at the Rose and Crown to celebrate mums birthday, the food was lovely, even by our standards, my sister even wanted to go back over just to have another pudding.(we do love our food)
I don't believe whatever comments we put on this review would ever do the Chestnuts justice. We shall be visiting again we had an amazing time and hope to do it again as a family.

Thank you Chris for allowing us to share your Home.........

Our family loved our stay at The Chestnuts. Shilton has become one of our favourite little villages in England and this home was perfect for our weeks stay. It had everything we could need and then some. The beds were very comfy and the bathrooms were clean. The backyard was great and we enjoyed sitting outside and reading. We loved this house and hope to be back next summer.

All the best,

Jill

The Chestnuts is a lovely cottage which had everything we needed (and much more!) for our family get together. All equipment needed for our grand children, aged 1,4,5 and 12, was provided. The adults enjoyed the luxurious bathrooms and sumptuous sitting rooms. We enjoyed a BBQ in the secluded garden and were pleasantly surprised to find charcoal ready and waiting. The cottage is in an idyllic, peaceful village and close to nearby attractions. It is not easy to find accommodation all under one roof for six adults and four children and certainly not to such a high standard.

Our family weekend at The Chestnuts was all we hoped it was going to be, we even had great weather and sat outside on many occasions. The cottage is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. The chef in our party loved the kitchen, with so much China, glassware and cooking implements. Even cookery books. We ate at the Rose and Crown just a few paces from the cottage, as well as The village pub Barnsley and The Bell at Langford - all great meals. Burford is so close to pop into and the Burford Garden centre is a must visit.

We can’t wait to come back.

We were lucky with the weather but even luckier that we found The Chestnuts in Shilton! What a wonderful place to stay - all needs catered for in supreme comfort, with first class finishes. Pretty much perfect, as is Shilton - and Burford too! Great house in a super location.

An absolutely delightful house in a gorgeous little village. Extremely well equipped with good quality items. Plenty of everything - glasses, china etc. Coffee machine, dishwasher, barbecue with charcoal & lighters. Bedding & towels very good quality. Everything you could need is provided along with some very thoughtful touches like pods for the coffee machine, fresh flowers, a welcoming bottle of champagne.....

It was a most pleasant stay - just mind your head off the beam in the lounge and your shins off the bed frames!

All of our group loved The Chestnuts. Amazing bedrooms and spaces. Kitchen lacks for nothing. NOTHING. The stylish garden is a haven for wildlife; I loved the pair of ducks who treat the garden as their own. Gentle walks from the house, Burford a lovely town, history-rich with something for all of us. Relaxing and soothing. Hope we can return for another reunion.

This was a last minute booking but from start to finish everything went smoothly. The cottage is nestled in a beautiful little village with a handy, quiet pub across the road. The cottage itself is just stunning. Beautifully decorated and thoughtfully developed it was an absolute treat to stay here. Beautiful flowers and champagne greeted us and a warm, eco friendly, sumptuous cottage instantly became home. Generously filled with so much equipment and utensils in the kitchen, and books, games and information that you cannot fail to have a great time. Fluffy towels and great facilities all in a fantastically developed and modernised old English cottage. Just fabulous.

We love coming back to The Chestnuts - it delivers everything we want of a holiday cottage and so so much more. We even had the weather on our side this stay with some really hot October days. As a consequence we managed the Shilton to Burford walk and some delicious Lardy cake from Huffkins tea rooms as our reward. Thank you Chris and the team for making us so welcome - see you again soon.

We had a lovely week with both family and friends. The cottage accommodated everyone really well and had everything you would need. Lovely touches with bath products and fluffy bath robes. The playroom had excellent toys and books for our granddaughter who loved them.
The village was very pretty and the pub across the road made us all very welcome and served great food.
As mentioned in a previous review the property does have a low beam in the lounge, which did have an argument with my head!!
To sum up, a lovely cottage in a lovely location.

Thank you for an amazing stay in a truly wonderful cottage. The Chestnuts is a really wow place, so light and spacious and perfect for our family. We loved all the attention to detail, beds were super comfy and the kitchen was better equipped than our own. It’s clear the garden is as well maintained as the house and Shilton village with its picturesque Ford is idyllic. We would love to come back to this special place.

This is a house with a high level of design and content. After a large number of rentals under our belt, we can say this is the best appointed house we have ever rented. We stayed 2 weeks and the weekly service was excellent for us. The beds, linen and bathroom are high end. in appointment and function.
I must say we were expecting a bigger back yard however that was the only real issue.
How many places has anybody rented where there are Flowers weekly, so much high end kitchen equipment with quality and volume of content that you will never run out.
Plus multiple TVs and entertainment accessories and all in excellent condition.
Sure its not cheap, however when you get everything you pay for, well its a winner.

The Chestnuts is a marvelous holiday cottage.

Set in a beautiful village, it is a restful location for a family break. We loved the village pub, the beautifully set out garden and the space within the tardis-like cottage. Beds were first class; the kitchen wants for nothing. Watching DVDs on the big TV was a relaxing treat.

Would we book again? Yes we will!!!

This truly is a five star property in an amazing Cotswold village setting. As a group of mixed ages from our young children to my parents it couldn't have suited us all better. Plenty of room for us all, toys for the children, books and magazines for the adults and garden wildlife for my parents. The inglenook fireplace with wood burner is gorgeous but with underfloor heating as well, we enjoyed the luxury of bare feet on flagstone floors- a delicious pleasure. Chris and her team were fantastic to deal with, we will be back. Regards Edward

We stayed at the Chestnuts at the beginning of December and were delighted to arrive and immediately felt comfortable - especially with the carefully selected Christmas decorations! The extra thought and efforts did not go amiss and the cottage was decorated with a modern yet cosy / cottage feel.

Each of the rooms were spacious and comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped with all that we required.

We thank the hosts for their hospitality and look forward to visiting again soon!

This was our 7th stay at chestnuts and we love it more and more each year!!!

We are a group of ladies ranging from 20's to 50's that live all over the UK that get together yearly in chestnuts for an early Christmas celebration, even cooking full dinner in the well appointed kitchen.

Really recommend the rose and crown opposite, Martin makes you feel so welcome and remembers us year on year, booking is advisable. The locals are really welcoming as well, we feel that we are coming home

Burford Garden Centre is a must, especially in this time of year with their extended Christmas shop and festive goodies as is Burford as a picturesque English town. This is easily reached on a beautiful walk that takes 30 mins max from the cottage

I genuinely cannot recommend chestnuts enough you can guarantee absolute luxury and a amazing location

The house is extremely well equipped and it's great to have such good garden furniture for eating outside. The village itself is extremely attractive. There's nothing negative to say at all. All good.

A return visit and it's as good as ever. Great autumn weather allowed us to breakfast outside. Don't miss out on Hufkins' Lardy Cake from Burford. Rose & Crown's beer on top form. Some lovely walks around the village and in Bibury. Selection of books in the library seems even larger than last visit...weather too nice to justify a proper reading day...shame!

We arrived at The Chestnuts after a busy two weeks in Spain and Bordeaux visiting restaurants and wineries as part of a group of 11. We were absolutely blown away by the whole experience of this lovely cottage and it's surrounds and wished we could stay for much longer. It is the perfect place to get away and relax, but also close to all sorts of wonderous excursions. We hope we can return and stay longer!

This is the best holiday home I have ever stayed in. The facilities are exactly like a 5 star hotel but with the added luxury of being in a private holiday home. The house was spotlessly clean & decor fresh & attractive. Beds were extremely comfortable. Plenty of hot water for showers/baths. Plenty of space for group of 10. Attention to detail out of this world.

What a great cottage! All has been done tastefully, making you feel at home - can't think of a better place to use as base to explore and enjoy the Cotswolds. The pub across the road, close to places to visits and country walks, perfect any time of the year!

5 star luxury. Such a beautiful place. One of the cleanest and best equipped cottages we have stayed in. The beds were comfortable and everything felt luxurious.

Beautiful house. High spec. Very comfortable beds and sofas. All cooking equipment etc provided. Perfect space for our group of 8 adults.
Also thank you to Sandy the manager for helping us after our check out time when we locked our car key in the car.

Excellent accommodation in an attractive village The Chestnuts offers luxurious comfort and every provision needed when away from home. Compared with other rental properties the high quality of beds, bedding and toiletries is superb. The well equipped kitchen makes self-catering a joy - if not sampling the wide choice of local eateries like The Feathered Nest just past Burford. A real delight is the small but professional coffee maker.
Visiting in winter the garden was merely admired through the back windows but I bet it's a great suntrap in the summer. And if the weather is wet the huge library of DVDs should keep all families well entertained.

This is a beautiful and tastefully extended old Cotswolds stone cottage fitted out with all mod cons and every item one could possibly wish for in a self-catering let. Our arrival was met by welcoming fresh flowers and champagne. We found that the pub across the road did excellent meals so our cooking was not much needed. Views from the back are stunning with the river in the background across a meadow and a sight of the village ford. The original spiral stone staircase is not for the infirm but two bedrooms are reached by a modern flight. My only niggle is that the wooden frame of our bed protruded well past the mattress (apparently by design) and in the dark I caught my shin on it.

My family used the cottage as a base for my wedding just outside Burford. The booking process was very simple and the owers allow us to have an early check in and late check out.
The location was ideal for this as it is 5mins from Burford and 10mins from the wedding venue, The Stone Barn. The village is very nice and te pub over the road excellent.
The cottage was extremely well equipped with everything you could need.
The rooms were all very comfortable and they also setup a sofa bed for us.
A very good location to relax.
We enjoyed our stay greatly.
