 English Holiday Cottages in The Cotswolds
 
      Picturesque Cotswolds Cottage in Chipping Campden

When you hear the words "an English Country Cottage", the image that springs to mind is the scene you'd be greeted with when you choose to stay in an English Country Cottage from our listings of cottages in the Cotswolds. This beautiful part of the world is filled with truly quaint villages with honey coloured stone cottages virtually everywhere you go. There's the delightful market town of Stow-on-the-Wold filled with antique shops, galleries and craft shops and Bourton-on-the-Water described as the "Little Venice of the Cotswolds".  

The area known as the Cotswolds encroaches on a number of counties. To the South West in Somerset lies Bath with its Roman remains and Regency crescents and to the East stands Oxford where centuries of academic endeavour have taken place under its impressive spires.

Also within easy reach are Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon.

Whether you're relaxing in one of the many grade II listed Cotswold Cottages we offer, exploring the quiet country lanes, checking out the bustling market towns or just enjoying the beauty of the Cotswold countryside do it from a Holiday Cottage in The Cotswolds; you won't want to leave.

NLX - The Coach House - Thrupp, Kidlington, Oxfordshire.  - click for more and to book online.
Situated in the lower part of the tiny hamlet of Thrupp, these two detached properties stand in the grounds of a manor house and lie adjacent to the 18th-century Oxford Canal. Offering wonderfully characterful accommodation for a holiday, they stand opposite one another: The Coach House (Ref NLX) is a spacious and imaginatively converted barn which overlooks open fields, whilst The Dovecote (Ref NLY) is a cosy little romantic hideaway for two.
In its day, the canal was a main artery to British industry, but in modern times, the barges move at a more relaxed pace. Thrupp starred as itself in the TV series Morse in the adaptation of Colin Dextor’s Last Bus to Woodstock. In Thrupp is The Boat public house with its open fire and beamed ceilings. A gentle, short stroll along the Oxford Canal towpath towards the nearby village of Kidlington leads to the Jolly Boatman on the A4260. Both pubs serve a selection of drinks and good food. There are many walks to be enjoyed nearby, either canal-side or through the owner’s managed woodland, along the banks of the River Cherwell, which is abundant with wildlife and birds. A ½-hour walk along the towpath or short drive in the car leads to Kidlington, which, recognised as the ‘largest village in England’, caters for every need - having several supermarkets, post office, chemists, launderette and various pubs and cafés. There is a nearby Park and Ride service into the city of Oxford as well as a regular bus service from the village. The M40 motorway is easily reached, connecting to either London or Birmingham in about 1 hour.
The properties make an ideal holiday base to explore the Cotswolds and Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon. The town of Woodstock, home to Blenheim Palace (birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill) and the village of Bladon (where Churchill is buried) are within 5 miles. Shops 2 miles, pubs ¼ mile.

Most weekly bookings run from Saturday to Saturday, unless the property indicates otherwise. Where accepted, 2 night breaks start on a Friday or Saturday, 3 night breaks on a Friday and 4 night midweek breaks start on a Monday.

Bookings for short stays that fall during a public holiday may only be made within 28 days of the public holiday. Bookings for 7 or 14 days where the stay dates include a public holiday may be made at any time. Click here for a list of public holiday dates in England, Wales and Northern Island.  



Also:

Short break bookings for peak times of Cottage occupancy cannot be made until 28 days prior to the Start Date of your stay. June, July, August, and early September are classed as peak times. The schools go back at different times depending on the area. That is why its such a long peak time.
