Cotswold Carriage House United Kingdom

Among the vibrant meadows and rolling hills of the Cotswolds, Cotswold Carriage House is a dazzlingly beautiful home-from-home for four lucky guests, within walking distance of fine-dining and dog-friendly, traditional English pubs.
A picturesque, ivy-covered entrance greets you, and an incredibly bright, welcoming and traditional living space within offers a sublime open-plan area where all the group can gather for meal-times, relaxation and spending quality time together. You will be met with a complimentary welcome pack, offering a taste of Cotswolds luxury, all produce is sourced from local farms and businesses.
An unpretentious blend of colour, warmth and comfort, the interiors ooze timeless beauty and modest luxury, with rich textures, beautiful fabrics and antique furniture throughout! In your large, open-plan living space you will find a cosy sofa in front of the open fireplace and antique pine mantelpiece. With a far greater attention to detail and loving finish, we often opt for eighteenth and nineteenth century furniture, including chairs, desks, bookcases, tables and dressers. This living space embodies this approach. The kitchen and dining area, which sit beside the drawing room, feature a beautiful round dining table on the pale terracotta tiles and in the warm ivory-painted kitchen there is a central pine island unit, a fridge/freezer, hob and oven, microwave, Belfast sink, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, giving you all the space and facilities you could need to whip up a treat!
The master bedroom is on this ground floor, while a twin room is on the first-floor. Both feature the same deluxe furnishing, with furniture including a 19th century mahogany chest of drawers, a rosewood desk and an antique faux bamboo table. The master-room has a mahogany four-poster bed with ochre-and-cream silk drapes, while the twin room has two single four-posters dressed in blue-and-white. Each has a warm and elegant bathroom, entirely marble-tiled, with marble-top vanity units, an invigorating power-shower, big mirror, heated towel rail stocked with fluffy white towels and bathrobes. All toiletries are produced by Elemis. The master-bedroom also has a fabulous bathtub for the ultimate relaxation.
Your private garden is brimming with life! With a large, furnished terrace offering wonderful views of the lawns and the walled garden, this is the perfect spot for soaking up a little sunshine and the perfectly fresh air of the Cotswolds! On this fabulous estate you also have access to: a gym featuring a running machine, power plate, exercise balls, rowing machine, cross trainer, cables, free weights and an exercise bike; a heated pool with floats for children, loungers and a private garden with seating, and; a spa with several treatment rooms offering reflexology, massages, pedicures, manicures and facials! In the heart of the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, Cotswold Carriage House is traditional, sophisticated and unique, attracting guests back year after year!
Enjoying the local area is a highlight of the trip for many! In the surrounding landscape you will find endless opportunities for an active day out with all the family, including: the Cotswold Wildlife Park, the Cogges Farm Museum, Birdland, the Dragonfly Maze, Blenheim Palace and the Oxford Story, to name a few, as well as two different Go Karting options within an hour!
On a sunny day you should definitely experience the fantastic scenery on a hike – be sure to take a picnic, there are endless perfect spots to sit, relax, and take in the breath-taking views across the largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the country! We can supply you with maps of great walks suitable for all ages, and we even have mountain bikes for those who prefer pedal power! Both ‘The Wild Rabbit’ and the multi-award winning ‘The Plough’ (dog-friendly) pubs in Kingham serve excellent food, around 3 miles away, and there are many, many more just a short cycle away.
Shopping is available in both Oxford and Cheltenham town centres, as well as at the Bicester Outlet Village. Local produce can be purchased from several of the local farms, including at Bibury Trout Farm where you can actually catch it yourself!
