A traditional thatched cottage offering pure rustic romance, this beautiful chocolate-box Cotswold stone cottage is nestled in the quiet village of Whichford, famous for its pottery.

The picture-perfect village of Whichford with its small green and local village inn sits within Warwickshire on the Oxfordshire border. A haven for walkers offering way-marked paths from the village that will guide you through the countryside. The market town of Shipston-on-Stour is within easy reach and offers a great selection of independent shops, restaurants and cafes. Attractions within the area include Shakespeare’s birthplace Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick Castle, Oxford with its dreaming spires and Cheltenham, home of the Gold Cup. There are also many National Trust properties and gardens including Blenheim Palace and Chastleton House, with Brook Cottage Garden, the Bloxham Museum and the Civil War battlefield of Edgehill also well worth a visit. For shoppers, Bicester shopping village is within easy access and offers a great day out.

This leads through to the delightful shaker kitchen with raw oak tops, electric oven and induction hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, dishwasher and washer/dryer. In the evening, climb the stairs to the first floor where you will find the beautiful shaker-panelled king-size bedroom with its heavenly pillow-topped bed and luxurious bed linen complete with a hand-painted roll-top bath.

A fabulous holiday cottage, we had a lovely stay. We would highly recommend it as every need had been considered. There is plenty to do locally and we particularly enjoyed our visit to the Cotswold distillery and The Straw Kitchen at Whichford pottery.

Thatched Cottage is a perfect romantic bolt hole. We instantly relaxed as soon as we arrived and it was such a treat to come back to the cottage after a day out. The bed is super comfy and everything is such high quality. Some great attractions within very easy reach and we loved our few days exploring this gorgeous part of England. Thank you!

This being our first experience of such a rental, the cottage exceeded our expectations in so many ways - cleanliness and what was included - and has set the bar high for similar future holidays/breaks. We'll seriously consider a return booking if there wasn't so much more of the UK still to experience.
