    “It really is a fantastic cottage.”

    What we really loved was the attention to the small details of what we may need. Flashlights, a warm house when we arrived, spare umbrella, nightlights, and it was done up for Christmas, puppy treats, poo bags. It was also the cleanest cottage that I have stayed in. Highly recommended. Take Wellies.

The property

Hook Norton 3.7 miles.

Located on the edge of what is considered the largest village green in England, Horseshoe Cottage is a quintessential English country cottage, resting in the pretty village of Whichford.

An utterly charming cottage packed with homely touches throughout, this is an ideal retreat for those looking to escape to the countryside and enjoy peace and tranquillity.

Located at the junction of Warwickshire, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, you are only moments from some of the most popular spots in the northern Cotswolds region, including Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh.

Inside, the cottage retains its wonderful period features, including large, exposed beams, a huge, romantic inglenook fireplace with a roaring fire and lovely pine staircase.

Outside, your enclosed garden overlooks the village green, and is only 100 yards from the very highly regarded village pub, The Norman Knight.

Just 400 yards from the cottage is Whichford Pottery, a gallery and an excellent café, serving breakfast, lunches, coffee and cakes.

The award-winning Cotswolds Distillery is less than 2 miles away, with a shop and a café, if you fancy a spot of lunch - book your slot today!

There are excellent walking and cycling opportunities right from the front door of the cottage, with lovely country sites and a plethora of wildlife to spot along the way.

If you jump in your car you can be in Stratford in no time as well as the lovely local National Trust houses like Hidcote, Kiftsgate and Bourton House.

A charming and welcoming property - you'll love this beautiful, rural retreat.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.

A picturesque village with many honey-coloured historic buildings, thatched cottages, a thriving community and its very own steam driven brewery, the last of its kind in the country.

The market town of Chipping Norton lies south of the village in the Cotswold Hills, plays host to many festivals throughout the year, has an abundance of shops, cafes and restaurants as well as a theatre and the oldest golf course in Oxfordshire. Historic Banbury nestles on the banks of the River Cherwell in the Cherwell Valley and offers many restaurants, cafes, a canalside museum, cinema and local theatre, plus the annual Banbury Folk Festival attracts many visitors each year. Blenheim Place, the ancestral home of Sir Winston Churchill is also close by. Oxford, the oldest university city in England and known as ‘The City of Dreaming Spires’ has an abundance of attractions, namely the 38 colleges of the university, the oldest university teaching room, Bodleian Library, Botanic Gardens and museums, as well as playing host to many festivals and markets. Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare, Warwick with its magnificent castle and Royal Leamington Spa make a lovely day out.
