About this property
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.

About the host
Hosted by Julia Shirlaw
We have always loved Lechlade since we moved there from London just after our first daughter was born. We now live in a nearby village and we have been doing holiday lets in our little cottage for many years. We love welcoming both new and returning visitors.
Nothing gives us greater joy than reading the comments in the visitors book. We really want you to have the most relaxing and enjoyable time possible, and we very much hope you like the complimentary bottle of wine and biscuits!
