Garden Cottage, Oxfordshire
“Comfortable and with character. Set in a quiet part of the Cotswolds so away from crowds. The Plough pub in the next village Alvescot was wonderful. Great food and really comfortable with all the Covid measures they have put in place. A great recommendation.”
Garden Cottage is a charming holiday retreat located near the historic Shilbrook Manor, a listed building from the 1860s. Recently renovated, the cottage offers high-quality self-catering accommodation with views over a beautiful two-acre garden. Nestled on the outskirts of the ancient hamlet of Black Bourton, with roots dating back to 1086, it provides easy access to popular destinations like Burford, Woodstock, and Lechlade on Thames. This cosy hideaway is perfect for couples seeking a romantic escape to the Cotswolds. The owner, a skilled garden designer and avid horticulturist, is happy to offer plants, eggs, and homemade preserves when available. Black Bourton, a small medieval town in Oxfordshire, is the birthplace of noted authors Maria Edgeworth and William Turner. The village features the St. Mary the Virgin Church, home to remarkable 13th-century wall paintings uncovered in 1932, and boasts a top-notch gastropub. Nearby Bampton, famous as a key filming location for Downton Abbey, is also home to the West Oxfordshire Arts Gallery. With Oxford just 21 miles away and Burford conveniently close, this location is an excellent base for exploring the picturesque Cotswolds.
