Perfectly situated in the heart of the picturesque village of Hook Norton, on the edge of the beautiful Cotswolds, with superb walks right from the doorstep and excellent local amenities, all within walking distance, including a local parish church, library and well-stocked general store. There are two public houses within walking distance, both serving food and where you can sample the locally made beer from Hook Norton Brewery. The Victorian brewery is also a lovely day out for guests with guided tours being offered, free beer samples and a visitors centre. The village is just a short distance from the market town of Chipping Norton where you can explore several antique shops, and a wide selection of coffee shops, restaurants and pubs. A short drive will take you to Blenheim Palace at Woodstock, Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford, known as the ’city of dreaming spires’. There are plenty of opportunities for guests to travel a little further and visit one of the many Cotswold towns such as Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water or Morton-in-Marsh. Whilst in Stow pop into the gorgeous Daylesford farm shop owned by Lady Bamford. The designer outlet village at Bicester is also worth a day out for those guests who enjoy some retail therapy, and the cottage is also only 8 miles from the exclusive soho farmhouse in Great Tew. Shop and pub 500 yards, restaurant 5 miles.
Free WiFi

Two of the bedrooms has zip&link beds which can be made up as singles or double, please request at time of booking. The initial supply of fuel for the woodburning stove is included.

A local pub , the Sun Inn was great for both service and food .The cottage had a lovely outdoor patio area .Perfect for relaxing with a sundowner.

Beautiful Cottage
My husband and I, our two friends and our dogs had the most wonderful time on our stay here. The cottage was so well appointed, beautifully decorated and really clean. We spent our evenings in front of the fire playing board games we found in the games room and our days out on walks in the surrounding countryside. The owner has a long list of recommendations for walks and for places to eat and to visit which came in really handy! Hook Norton is a lovely place to stay and we enjoyed dinner at the Sun Inn in the village one evening too. We really hope to make it back one day!
Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022
