Charming, secluded, characterful cottage in the heart of Lechlade

This cottage with its many original features, including beams, wooden floorboards and fireplace, has a log burning stove and is ideal for a cosy, romantic break or for those who love idyllic walks by the river.

It is a two-minute walk to the intriguing antique shops and pubs, restaurants and cafes. Visit the impressive church in the centre of Lechlade, which inspired Shelley or the ancient church in Inglesham (approximately one mile away) which features restoration by William Morris. In addition, several stunning honey-coloured stone villages and National Trust houses of note (for which the Cotswolds is so famous) are only a few minutes' drive away.

The cottage is located down a secluded path, just off a no-through road where there is free, safe parking.

Beneath the famous "Halfpenny Bridge" lies the Riverside Restaurant which is a great place to watch for water birds, have a relaxing drink or meal or hire a boat for a trip up the river.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills and bike parking.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Lovely little cottage stay

We had a great time in this two bed, with one bath cottage. The rooms were comfortable, with the twin room having plenty of space (I had been worried it was right when I looked at photos). Welcome treats were a lovely touch. Julia’s communication was excellent. My only suggestion would be to enable stand up hands-free showering by having an attachment for the shower hose head to clip into the wall and a shower curtain. Access is a bit restricted due to the need to go 30m down a little pebbled path to get to the property.

Amazing cottage in great location!

Myself and a friend stayed for a couple weeks over Christmas and New Years. Having never been to the Cotswolds before, this was in a great location! It was an easy walk to the high street and many great shops to easily get groceries. We highly recommend the nearby Lynwood & Co for breakfast and coffee. From Lechlade we were an easy drive to all the major Cotswold towns - Stowe on the Wold, Burton on the Water, Burford and many more. Oxford and Blenheim Palace were also close by. Julia and Benjamin were amazing hosts who responded quickly to any questions we had. The cottage itself was ideal for us. We each had our own room and the beds and bedding were very comfortable. We had a fire almost every day in the cozy sitting room. The cottage had everything we needed in the kitchen as well as some great extras like a dish washer and washer and dryer - so helpful! We’d definitely stay again and highly recommend this property!

Wonderful little cottage in Lechlade!

The cottage was gorgeous. It was small, personal and comfy. Everything we needed for our 4 night stay. We explored Lechlade, went to several pubs and ate out, as well as cooked in the cottage. I did lots of sketching, and went fishing with my boys. It was a great short break. Julia's property was perfect.

Lovely cottage in great location

We really liked the cottage, it was perfect for us as two friends together. We really appreciated the little extras that were left. It was very quiet although central to Lechlade. Parking was in the street but we found somewhere each day for two cars. Highly recommend this cottage

Relaxing and charming short break

We hadn’t come far, just from Oxfordshire but we wanted a short break which didn’t require hours of driving. Lechlade didn’t disappoint! A charming olde-worlde cottage but with all the modern amenities you could want. We appreciated the log burner as it is February. We did some fabulous walks with our little dog, including one to Kelmscott along the meandering River Thames. We ate at the New Wave fish restaurant on Saturday and highly recommend it, particularly if you’re a fish lover! Julia was helpful and swift to reply to one or two questions we had. The shower attachment over the bath didn’t bother us as we’re happy to have baths. We would love to return one day!

Just perfect

An utterly charming and well equipped little cottage in a great location. The weather was atrocious (wet and windy) during our stay but we felt so cosy and warm, with the log burner and our glasses of wine that we didn't miss going out and had a lovely post Christmas chilled stay. There is plenty on your doorstep - good pubs, 2 supermarkets, a great local butchers / deli and coffee shop. We enjoyed a walk to The Trout for a yummy lunch but we did venture further afield to Blenheim for the fabulous Christmas lights. Communication with Julia was seamless, with good local recommendations and the welcome bottle of prosecco and biscuits was so thoughtful and enjoyed. Highly recommend.

Best visit ever!!

We fell in love with the cottage immediately. It was just as pictured, but somehow more lovely and charming in person!! Julia was so proactive and kind. Parking on the main street was very easy and Lechlade was a fantastic central spot for exploring the Cotswolds. We hope we can visit again soon!!

Comfy cottage

This property was comfortable for the 2 of us. We stayed in the area to visit family and had a nice week visiting different villages in the Cotswold. It was very quiet and peaceful. Parking on the street, sometimes needing to walk a bit but always found a spot. The cottage is old and quaint but has many upgrades to suit travelers. We were able to sit outside with a beverage and play cards. Very nice garden area! Don’t forget to say hi to Hector, the neighbors dog!

Charming stay in an excellent location

The cottage was a lovely place to stay for the week. The kids enjoyed having their own room with separate beds. The cozy garden was just what we needed after the long trip across the pond. It is well located, within a 3-5 minute walk of grocers, butchers, and pubs. Take a 15 minute stroll down to the Trout Inn if you get a chance, it sits right on the Thames and the staff is very friendly.
