Property code: CC005

Make your next holiday memories in this charming barn cottage, nestled in the grounds of a 12th-century priory and working farm. Children and pups can explore safely, meet the event horses who graze in the surrounding paddocks, befriend the family dogs, or venture into the Cotswold countryside. More public footpaths than your pup can shake a stick at mean you can discover your own unique way to experience the gently rolling hills and diverse wildlife the area has to offer.

The property is a converted farm building, retaining all the character of its Cotswold history. The living area blends period features and open-plan living, with exposed beams, an open hearth and original stone chimney breast. Your master double bedroom is downstairs, and another double bed sits snugly on the mezzanine floor up a set of steep stairs. Through your French doors, you’ll find your own terrace that looks onto an enclosed shared walled garden, where you can relax and watch your canine travel buddies relishing their home-away-from-home.

The farm is located in the pretty village of Clattercote, which tucks around a willow-swept reservoir. Here, you can buy a day ticket to fish for carp, bream, and pike. 6 miles away is the historic market town of Banbury where postcard-pretty houses and shops will give you that quintessential English day out. And you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to sights and attractions (especially of the historic variety), with Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace both around a 22-mile drive away.

Lovely holiday cottage in perfect surroundings, especially if you have dogs. Safe walled lawn shared with adjacent cottage, walks on the doorstep. Cottage itself is well-equipped but we ate main meals out (what are holidays for?!). Living area might be cramped for four adults and bathroom arrangement might not suit everybody. Take the warning aboutRead more the stairs seriously. Friendly (but not intrusive) owners on hand. We were offered early check in when we phoned about access arrangements Hide

Lovely cottage. Very quiet. Often only noises were trains and birds with occasional horse hoof or dog bark! Compact but had everything one needs. Large secure garden great for dogs but is shared with neighbouring property. Lots of local walks. Lots of activities nearby. Would recommend.
