It's Christmas at Bell Cottage 🎄

Behind its traditional Cotswold exterior, Bell Cottage is full of character—art, antiques and brass bells included. Three floors of cosy corners, an open fire and a private courtyard make it ideal for gatherings, while each bedroom offers its own quiet escape. Steps from two award-winning Charlbury pubs and a short walk to the station, it’s a stylish base for exploring Oxford, Cheltenham and the wider Cotswolds.

Meet Owls Barn, our gorgeous new Bampton holiday home set in the heart of the Chimney Nature Reserve. Big views, peaceful walking routes and a bright open-plan living space make it perfect for friends, families and the dog. Five beautifully styled bedrooms give everyone room to unwind, while the garden, BBQ terrace and dreamy copper bath house bring a real sense of escape.

Wildlife fills the surrounding fields, and you’re just minutes from Bampton, one of the key filming locations for Downton Abbey. Explore the village, enjoy a countryside pub walk, then return to this calming retreat for slow dinners, cosy evenings by the woodburner and long, lazy mornings.

Take a trip to 'Venice of the Cotswolds'! ✨

Bourton-on-the-Water is a wonderful destination to soak in some of the best the Cotswolds has to offer, from charming Cotswold stone houses to the Windrush River that trickles through this idyllic village. It’s one of our most loved places to escape to.

Little Forge, based in the heart of Bourton-on-the-Water, is a favourite of ours. Offering all the cosiness and charm of its surroundings, it’s an ideal stay for two looking to retreat and unwind. This characterful home features exposed beams, Cotswold stone and thoughtful interiors designed with comfort in mind.

Step inside and you’ll find a welcoming living space made for relaxed mornings and quiet evenings by the fire. Natural light filters through, creating a peaceful atmosphere for reading, lingering over a drink, or simply taking a breath after a day exploring. The kitchen, brightened by a skylight, offers a lovely spot to prepare something delicious before retreating to the cosy bedroom at the far end of the cottage. Here, a generous bed and a stylish en-suite bring a touch of comfort and countryside indulgence.
