Bay Tree Cottage is tucked away in an elevated position on the edge of a pretty village.

Bay Tree Cottage is the perfect romantic bolthole. Tucked away in an elevated position on the edge of this very pretty village with a choice of excellent pubs and restaurants within easy strolling distance, it manages to combine an away from it all feeling with a location that makes it an ideal base for exploring with or without a car.

Packed with period features; flagstone floors, original beams and a generous stone fireplace complete with wood burning stove, it's obvious that Bay Tree Cottage has been restored with love. Four legged friends are welcome too and when it comes to walking routes, you'll be spoilt for choice.

Idyllic stay in the Cotswolds

The cottage is cosy and beautifully done out to make a perfect, idyllic stay. Perfect retreat for a romantic get away. Vanessa, the owner, was very welcoming and had provided a number of treats and provisions for our arrival. Excellent location, close to beautiful towns perfect for exploring. Everywhere seemed to be dog friendly, making our stay extra special.

Séjour parfait

Accueil sympatique et chaleureux de Vanessa. Nous avons passé une semaine parfaite dans le joli et cosy Bay tree cottage. Une jolie décoration, une cuisine bien équipée et avec des provisions fourni par Vanessa, tout était très propre et soigné.Nous avons bien profité du jardin grâce au beau temps. Vanessa nous a offert un panier rempli de produits pour le petit déjeuner, du vin, du lait etc. Le cottage est très bien situé pour visiter les Cotswolds et Oxford.Je recommande.
