Such a fabulous bolt hole for our Cotswolds stay. The tasteful renovations of this 17th century home are warm and perfectly blend old and new. We instantly felt right at home and it’s clear the owners care deeply about the history of the building. It’s in a great location with the Co-op right up the street and pubs a stone’s throw away. Highly recommend!

Cottage full of character

Lovely cottage in centre of Charlbury. Parking difficult so you must be prepared to walk to your car. Housekeeper FANTASTIC right on the ball with the issues we had. Just felt the cleaner needed to give the whole place a deep clean.

Cute Cottage in Perfect Location

We absolutely loved our stay at Browns Cottage in Charlbury. What a perfect base to explore the Cotswolds with a wonderful village and pubs on our doorstep. The cottage had everything we needed, we loved the log fire and our family of 5 were perfectly comfortable for our 4 night stay. We would highly recommend this cottage for any family looking for a well-equiped, quaint stay in the Cotswolds.

Browns cottage was a gem

We had a great stay in browns cottage! The space was charming, with a lovely kitchen and modern amenities. The house had everything we needed for our family (including our parents and child). We hit quite a warm spell in late May, but we were happy they had portable fans in each of the rooms. We loved Charlbury and being nestled in a quiet non-touristy town. The restaurants and coffee shops were great, and 10-15 min walk to the train station. Free overnight parking was available on the street about 7 mins walk away. Our kid loved the playground next to the library. Would definitely return!

Amazing stay at Browns

We loved our stay at Browns Cottage. Extremely clean, beautifully decorated, exactly as the pictures show. Ideal central location close to several gastro pubs and local stores. Only 15 minutes from Soho Farmhouse. Would highly recommend staying here and we can’t wait to go back.

Lovely Cotswolds break

Delightful cottage, beds super comfy and we had a great stay. Would come back. Only little criticism was the back terrace could have been swept but didn’t spoil our stay.

Perfect Village Living

We had an amazing 3 weeks in Browns Cottage. The property is perfectly located - proximity to the Co-op, The Bull and The Bell, the Missing Bean and the Community Coffee shop just made it a perfect location. Debbie, who manages the property, looked after us so well and arranged weekly cleans at times when we were out. The property itself if so well decorated and equipped. There wasn’t anything in 3 weeks that we needed, that wasn’t provided in the property. The decor and style of furnishings and artwork were beautiful and clearly selected by someone with wonderful taste. Charlbury is also a perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds. The circular walks from the cottage were wonderful, taking in other villages and village pubs and some beautiful farmland. From Browns cottage, it was only a short walk to Banbury Hill Farm, which has a great cafe for breakfast or lunch. The eating options for either casual or fine dining within c20mins were in abundance. All in all it was a wonderful experience and I’d like to think we’ll stay in Browns Cottage again in the future.

Simply Ideal

The location, comfort, and feel of the cottage was everything we were hoping for. What a superb location as well, just a stones throw away from one of the Cotswolds’ best pubs, The Bull. Will be returning and would highly recommend!

Lovely holiday cottage in Charlbury

Really enjoyed our stay at Brown’s cottage: it was well furnished and the beds were super comfy. The only downsides were the dryer did not work which was very challenging trying to dry washing and parking could be very hard, but I guess that is the nature of period cottages!

A short, but sweet stay in a lovely cottage

Two friends and myself really enjoyed our stay at Browns Cottage. It is very comfortable and well appointed. Charlbury is a small, pretty Cotswolds town. We had a fabulous meal in the garden of the newly renovated Bull Inn which is a few steps away from the cottage.

Enjoyable stay in the cotswolds. We had a couple of niggles but we would stay here again.

The property is very good and excellently located. Although the information suggests parking will be easy the parking referred to is for permanent residents or does not allow 24 hour parking. We were able to get parked up the hill quite close to the property. We couldn't get the kitchen underfloor heating to work but heating elsewhere was fine. I am sure this will be sorted quickly.

Brown’s is the Best!

Brown’s Cottage is the perfect retreat from London! The cottage is beautiful, clean, and so well-equipped. The village presents everything you need - a great pub, a cafe, a small grocery store, and a few really great walking paths. I’ve recommended the cottage over and over again to friends. It is simply the best!

Quick hiking break in the Cotswolds

If you are looking for a quaint cottage in the Cotswolds (with all the modern amenities), Brown’s Cottage is a great choice. Easy access to hiking and great local pubs. The grocery store store and post office are very close. If you are tall, you have to watch the beams in the living room; and you have to lug your suitcases up the stairs. All part of the quaintness. Easy train access to Oxford and London.

A great stay

We enjoyed our stay at Browns Cottage and the lovely Charlbury. We had an initial issue with the heating but would like to thank Debbie who helped to sort it out and, in particular, Darryl who rang and talked us through the process - whilst on his honeymoon!! Sorry to disturb you, Darryl but thanks again.

Perfect for a short stay. We were happy bunnies!

We had a very relaxed stay at Browns Cottage in Charlbury. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms were of a decent size and a great rain shower off the main bedroom. Dining area was clean and the place was bathed in sunlight. Two suggestions. A second set of keys would be handy, especially when there are four people staying and secondly in the summer it would be prudent to have a flat sheet on the bed, should one want to not use the duvet. But all in all, we were happy bunnies.

A lovely little cottage

The cottage was very cosy and comfortable, and we appreciated having three bedrooms and two bathrooms (albeit none downstairs). There was a good sized dining table, large fridge and all the kitchen amenities. Sofa was very comfortable and Sky TV in the lounge. Decent hairdryer, soft towels and toiletries provided. The location was lovely and perfect for our miles without styles walk on the first day. Lovely coffee at the deli a short walk away and a well stocked co-op 30 seconds away. We would stay again.

Very comfortable and cosy cottage

We felt immediately at home at Browns Cottage, which was immaculately clean, extremely well stocked with every possible thing that we could have needed supplied. Beds were very comfortable with beautiful linen. Parking was a challenge but we did not move our cars over our two day stay, as we did a lovely walk from the cottage door - the Charlbury circular, via Cornbury Park and the pub at Finstock (about 5 miles, easy). The Bull pub is a few yards away and we enjoyed a tasty meal on one night.
