About this property

Churchyard cottage is uniquely situated at the convergence of the county borders of Oxfordshire, Wiltshire and Berkshire in the Vale of the White Horse. The cottage is privately set at the top of a very quiet street next to the impressive St Mary the Virgin Church located in the charming village of Ashbury.

It is the ultimate romantic (couples) getaway with direct access to some of the most beautiful walks on the famous historic Ridgeway.
Making your stay ideal for scenic country strolls to heritage sites and tantalising your taste buds with local produce at neighbouring gastro pubs. And if you are bringing your 4-legged friend(s) it’s a dog’s paradise!

The cottage is set within easy walking or travelling distance to some of the country’s most popular heritage sights and attractions – such as White Horse Hill, Wayland’s Smithy, Stone Henge, Roman Baths in Bath, The Cotswold’s, the City of Oxford and more…

Its privacy, seclusion and superb location are so necessary for the perfect romantic break and are ideally offset by the closeness of facilities in and around the village of Ashbury. Fantastic Public House – The Rose & Crown is just a stone’s throw away from the cottage and has been reviewed highly by many of our previous guests. Sleeps 2.

The property has Free WIFI.

Fantastic Find!!!

We have just got home from our 3 night break at Church Cottage...Wow what a beautiful cottage, we could not fault it. The cottage was spotless and attention to detail including the Christmas decorations made our stay even more special. The Rose and Crown pub is definitely worth a visit!! The only downfall was the weather and being so wet restricted where we could walk so we will definitely back in the summer. We have stayed in many cottages with our dog and can honestly say Church Cottage is one of the best we have stayed at, so we will be looking forward to our next visit. Russ Marnie & Ernie

Great little Cottage

This is a lovely cottage, perfect for two people and a romantic getaway. The decor is lovely and the location perfect. The pub in the village is lovely and does great food. Perfect for walking along the Ridgeway which is just at the top of the hill. Perfect!
