Quirky and cosy canal-side cottage in the Oxfordshire countryside.

Description:

Welcome to our charming 17th-century dovecote, a unique and delightful retreat brimming with history and character. Small but perfectly formed, this cosy and comfortable cottage in the beautiful village of Thrupp is the perfect place to enjoy a countryside getaway. Fantastic pubs and a lovely tearoom just footsteps away. Watch the boats drift by on the canal, make the most of Blenheim Palace, or venture into Oxford to see the beautiful architecture, museums or fantastic restaurants.


The Space:

On the ground floor, you'll find an open-plan dining area and kitchen, perfectly equipped for preparing meals. Adjacent is a modern shower room and WC. Head upstairs to a lovely galleried landing, leading to a cozy double bedroom with a TV, a charming seating area, and a stunning stained glass window that adds a touch of timeless elegance.


Guest Access:

The Dovecote is based in a shared courtyard alongside our Manor House and Coach House properties. The property includes one parking space right outside as well as a private garden area perfect for watching the canal boats drift past.

Check-in time is from 3pm and check-out time is before 10am. Contactless check-in and check-out via key safes.

Guest Contact:

Our team is available to reply to messages and confirm reservations during office hours (Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–4:30 PM). If you’re staying with us and need assistance, you’ll find an emergency contact sheet inside the property. If your reservation request expires, the dates will appear as blocked on our calendar until we manually release them, so they can’t be booked elsewhere in the meantime; so don’t worry, your dates are safe and we’ll get back to you as soon as we’re back online.

Additional information:

If you are bringing dogs, please add them to your booking (there is a £65 fee to cover the additional cleaning required).
