About this property
Mediterranean inspired luxury in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, near Great Tew
Beechnut, with its light and airy living room and separate romantic bedroom, is a firm favourite with romantics, artists, writers and creative people alike. This unusual and characterful cottage provides a haven of tranquility to help you unwind and to inspire your inner creativity.
Each room has its own unique and inviting character. Beneath the dovecote a weighty wooden door with wrought iron grille leads into the lobby. To the left is the bedroom with stone mullioned arched windows looking directly out onto the fields. A medieval styled arched door and stone passageway leads past an unusual Moroccan styled bathroom with spacious power shower down into the light and airy living area and open plan fully equipped kitchen with dining table and chairs.
A comfy sofa allows you to relax in front of the open Adobe style fireplace (This can also become a bed to accommodate an extra visitor or family member). Whitewashed walls and terracotta floor tiles and rugs throughout give a Mediterranean feel to this room. The high pitched ceilings, exposed beams also add to the ambience with windows looking out onto the courtyard, where the morning sun streams in.
Superior crafted, natural luxury together with our exacting standards and attention to detail ensure that Beechnut offers guests a truly relaxing and pleasurable experience. As with all our cottages, Beechnut has outperformed its star rating and been awarded gold by Visit England in recognition of exceptional quality.
