“We have just returned from a wonderful weekend at South Lea in Shipton Under Wychwood celebrating an 80th birthday.”

The house was perfect for our requirements and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Could you please say thank you to the house owners or whoever was responsible for the “goodies” that greeted us on our arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would seriously consider revisiting at some time in the future.

“We all thoroughly enjoyed the facilities of this very high spec.”

house with all the bells and whistles. BQ would have been appreciated plus broom for sweeping floor, lugging Henry around was rather unpractical to sweep up a few crumbs!

- Jonathan, August 2021

Susan August 2021

“We had 6 adults and 5 children ranging between 2yr old twins up to an 8yr old.”

The gardens in the front were perfect for children’s gazebos, paddling pools, bubbles etc. The kitchen was amazing and everyone of us slept well in all the very comfortable bedrooms. This was a brilliant place to stay, so central to everywhere in the Cotswolds.

- Susan, August 2021

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're beyond happy to hear just how perfect South Lea was for you all! It's great that you had the chance to enjoy both the property itself as well as the beautiful Cotwolds! You are always welcome to return! Property Owner

“A Great house!”

Everything in the house was up to a high spec. Great location for walks as well as short drives to get to the likes of Burford and other local towns. Property had everything you could need! Would definitely stay again!

Wai August 2020

“Wow, wow and wow again.”

Truly the heart and soul is the kitchen in this house. spent most of the time here though this should not diminish the other amazing rooms. so impressed with the level of kit in the house from super modern sony TVs to Sonos system in the kitchen. Had a herb garden and football net and ample gardens to the front and rear. Can watch a pair of pigeons and a grey squirrel amongst the trees. The house is well stocked from tower fans for every room, heated flooring, and garden furniture to die for. Loved the welcome amenities was a perfect icing to the cake. We so enjoyed it we are thinking of coming back next year.

- Wai, August 2020

Thank you for your amazing comments on South Lea and we would love to welcome you back next year. Many Thanks Manor Cottages Property Owner
Ken July 2020

“This property is a most spacious, well-equipped and luxurious holiday home.”

The house has been recently renovated to a high standard, and it was a pleasure to enjoy its many facilities. The house is set in a quiet and secluded situation with a large front garden and plenty of parking space. It has a large patio area for outdoor dining on the ample and good quality garden furniture. The rear garden is smaller but still adequate for children to play. There are a couple of pubs and a couple of shops within easy walking distance, as well as a children’s play area. The house is situated in an ideal location to visit the pretty Cotswold towns and villages. Overall an excellent choice of property for families holidaying together.

- Ken, July 2020

“Would highly recommend this beautiful cottage in an amazing location.”

We were a group of 8 adults and 3 children, and we never felt on top of each other. The children loved the outdoors and were thrilled to see some visiting ducks. Would love to return.

“South Lea exceeded our expectations in every way.”

It is an absolutely stunning house with high quality furnishings and appliances. We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed every room but especially the huge kitchen dining area. I would highly recommend to large groups of family and friends. Thank you!

Melanie February 2020

“South Lea was a fantastic property to bring family or friends together.”

Great comfy beds, plenty of spacious bathrooms to guests and the large kitchen area is a great communal party area. Short walk from 3 pubs what more could a relaxing weekend break need. We would love to return in the Summer and get the use of the lovely gardens.

- Melanie, February 2020

“We had an amazing Christmas at South Lea, the house Is fantastic and the layout worked well for our family group, (the youngest being 7 weeks and the oldest 83 years old).”

The kitchen/diner was exceptionally spacious and well equipped and allowed us to eat and come together as a family! The location was good and very peaceful! A pleasant surprise was the well stocked food hamper which we really appreciated. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend!

The property

Situated in the heart of Shipton under Wychwood, which itself lies just 3.5 miles north of Burford (one of the Cotswolds most iconic locations), South Lea has recently undergone a complete transformation to provide glorious accommodation for large families or groups of friends. Presented in a cool and contemporary style, the house benefits from having a gorgeous open plan kitchen / dining space - a fantastic place to while away the hours chatting with friends over dinner, two sitting areas - each with sumptuous sofas, large flat screen tv's and log- burners (for those chilly winter evenings): the perfect places to relax and unwind.

The ground floor also provides a lovely bedroom suite, complete with king size bed and en-suite shower facilities. Upstairs you will find 5 bedrooms (one double, two twins, one king size and one super king size) as well as 2 family bathrooms.

Outside you have enclosed gardens both to the front and rear of the property, as well as a generous off road parking area which can accommodate 5 or 6 cars. From the property it's just a short walk to the beautiful Cotswolds countryside where you have mile upon mile of fabulous walks.

However, if your idea of a walk is to take you no further than the pub then please don't worry - you have 3 really good pubs all within a 10 minute walk. Just a short drive away in one direction you have the Medieval town of Burford, with its wealth of cafes, shops and restaurants, and in the opposite direction you are just a 10 minute drive from the bustling market town of Chipping Norton.

The historic town of Woodstock, with Blenheim Palace (the birth place of Winston Churchill) lies just 10 miles away.

You are also within easy reach of the university city of Oxford (20 miles). South Lea truly is the ideal location for friends and families to explore all that this beautiful part of The Cotswolds has to offer.
