“Closeness to Burford with car parking available.”

Excellent safe garden for young children. Generally excellent. We particularly enjoyed The Cotswold Wildlife Park and Burford Garden Centre. Sudeley Castle and Blenheim are also very good visits although we did not visit them this time.The Swan Inn was very good for food and drink. Mr Langley, April, 2017.

Mrs Stoneman

“Thank you for your email.”

We had a great time at Hillside Cottage. The house was spacious and had a touch of 'home from home'. The kitchen was equipped with all the appliances we expected, and the lounge and sitting room had many books to read and was very cosy.\ The Swan Inn was a welcome 10 minutes or less on a good day to stroll to and it was great at lunch times and evening. Food was fantastic and the hosts were really friendly.\ We would definately recommend Hillside Cottage to friends and family for future use.\ We will also look to book accommodation as and when we need it in the future with Manor Cottage as the service was great and communication very good\

“The cottage is simply beautiful- decorated to a really high standard and very quiet- which is just what we wanted from our weekend getaway.”

It is in a lovely village which has a number of great walks, including ones to the more touristy village of Burford. Arrival was easy and the host was attentive during the stay. The host was also thoughtful, leaving essentials out for us (milk, tea, coffee and cake!). I would definitely recommend this cottage to others and cannot wait to return myself.â€ \ Poppy, via airbnb, Nov 2016

The property

Hillside Cottage, Swinbrook is a stunning 5 star cottage, presented to the highest standard and without question one of the finest cottages in the Burford region.

The owners have overseen a superb renovation of one of the oldest cottages in this historic village to provide sumptuous (a word we haven't used on a cottage before!) self catering accommodation in a location that overlooks the village church - a truly quintessential spot.

The kitchen is the real heart of the home: beautiful with high quality materials, and Aga and views across the enclosed garden.

The four bedrooms and three bathrooms are similarly stylish, spacious and gorgeous.

We are bowled over by this cottage (one of the team wants to move in!) and we are quite certain you will be too.

About the location

Burford

Burford is possibly one of, if not THE most famous of the Cotswolds' locations. With its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, Burford is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. Often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds', the town was originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon ford which later grew to be an important regional crossroads and wealthy wool town. Located mid way between Oxford and Cheltenham (25 mins each away) it is a little haven of history and beauty that many come to fall in love with when they visit.

The 16th century Tolsey building, once the meeting place for medieval merchants, now houses The Tolsey Museum, a delightful local museum illustrating the town's social and industrial past. The church is stunning, a real gem architecturally with many interesting memorials charting some of Burford's great families. There is also the signature, on the baptisimal font, of Antony Sedley, one of the Levellers besieged in the church in 1649 - three of the ringleaders were executed by Oliver Cromwell's men in the churchyard. History awaits!

With little changing over the centuries, Burford is now very popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for its shopping and antiques, and for the wide variety of places to eat, with restaurants, pubs and teashops. It is an ideal base for visiting The Cotswolds area as it is within easy driving distance of popular attractions such as Blenheim Palace, Sudley Castle, Warwick Castle and several National Trust Houses and Gardens. Bourton on the Water, Bibury, Cirencester and Stow on the Wold are all with 25 minutes from the property.

NOTE: This property has a £500 good housekeeping bond. This amount is automatically shadowed when the booking is made. If there is any damage caused during your stay that exceeds the £500 good housekeeping bond, please note that you will be held liable for the whole cost to replace / rectify damage.
Note: Barbecues are not permitted at this property.
Note: AGA is only available certain months of the year.
