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.
Additional Information PARKING - Please note there is parking round the corner from Bay Tree down a quiet lane called Swinbrook Lane. PLEASE NOTE that the stairs are characteristic of a period cottage and are therefore a little steep but do have a handrail. As such the cottage may not be suitable for anyone with limited mobility. This property is suitable for two guests only. Two small well behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).
Ground Floor: Sitting/dining room With a large inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove. LCD television with Freeview, DVD player and CD radio. When it's time for dinner, a gateleg table and chairs allows more formal dining. Kitchen With an electric oven and hob, fridge with freezer box, microwave and washer/dryer.
First Floor: NB: Please note the steps to the first floor are very steep. Double bedroom With 5’ king-size bed and an LCD television with Freeview and DVD player. Bathroom With a bath and overhead shower, wash basin, wc and a heated towel rail.
Outside: To the front of the cottage you'll find a country cottage garden and garden furniture. A short stroll along the lane will take you to the beautiful pastoral views seen in the photo gallery and a short walk into the village takes you along a tree-lined lane leading to the village's Wychwood Wild Garden, 12.5 acres of woodland, gardens and ponds - quintessential Cotswold country and absolutely charming.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a fireplace.

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.
