Charming, secluded, characterful cottage in the heart of Lechlade

This cottage with its many original features, including beams, wooden floorboards and fireplace, has a log burning stove and is ideal for a cosy, romantic break or for those who love idyllic walks by the river.

It is a two-minute walk to the intriguing antique shops and pubs, restaurants and cafes. Visit the impressive church in the centre of Lechlade, which inspired Shelley or the ancient church in Inglesham (approximately one mile away) which features restoration by William Morris. In addition, several stunning honey-coloured stone villages and National Trust houses of note (for which the Cotswolds is so famous) are only a few minutes' drive away.

The cottage is located down a secluded path, just off a no-through road where there is free, safe parking.

Beneath the famous "Halfpenny Bridge" lies the Riverside Restaurant which is a great place to watch for water birds, have a relaxing drink or meal or hire a boat for a trip up the river.

This the second time that I stayed in this property. It is full of character… a bit like going back in time 100 years with a nice fire place … but with modern facilities like dishwasher and TV. Lechlade is a lovely place with nice pubs and walks by the Thames. So location is good too

Lovely cottage in great location

We really liked the cottage, it was perfect for us as two friends together. We really appreciated the little extras that were left. It was very quiet although central to Lechlade. Parking was in the street but we found somewhere each day for two cars. Highly recommend this cottage

Charming stay in an excellent location

The cottage was a lovely place to stay for the week. The kids enjoyed having their own room with separate beds. The cozy garden was just what we needed after the long trip across the pond. It is well located, within a 3-5 minute walk of grocers, butchers, and pubs. Take a 15 minute stroll down to the Trout Inn if you get a chance, it sits right on the Thames and the staff is very friendly.

We fell in love with the cottage immediately. It was just as pictured, but somehow more lovely and charming in person!! Julia was so proactive and kind. Parking on the main street was very easy and Lechlade was a fantastic central spot for exploring the Cotswolds. We hope we can visit again soon!!
