About this property

Cotswolds Blenheim Burford Oxford Bibury Minster Mill Diddly Farmers Dog Soho

The Nook door is always open please come and stay in our luxury Cotswold Annexe. Are you looking to enjoy a break in the Cotswolds or do you need to stay somewhere homely for work? So much is on offer in the area, please see below for all the details.

Our annex is totally self contained with it's own entrance leading into the light and airy main living area where you will find the sumptuous king size bed and small sofa where you can sit and relax, a full size fridge with freezer box and a cute breakfast bar for two. You will find a compact and bijou country kitchenette with large sink, microwave, toaster, kettle with tea and Nespresso coffee machine . The ensuite bathroom has a super modern shower that you can bluetooth your music to whilst the colour changing lights add to the ambiance, oh, it will spray you with water as well.!
The room has been fitted with white wooden shutters for your privacy which adds a little chic touch as we designed the room to bring the boutique hotel feel to Minster Lovell.

The property has its own parking right outside and is accessed via a wooden gate along a lit cobbled path.

Minster Lovell is located on the edge of the Cotswolds, minutes from Burford, Blenhiem Palace, Caswell House (gorgeous wedding venue) and only 20 minutes from the centre of Oxford. We are only 40 minutes from Cheltenham, ideal for the races. Soho farmhouse, Diddly Squat and Daylesford are accessible easily from here. If you fancy some retail therapy Bicester designer outlet shopping village is a wonderful day out. There is a public bus stop immediately outside the house and the nearest railway station is Charlbury which is only a 15 minute drive.

And of course the latest edition to our area The Farmers Dog (Jeremy Clarksons pub)- a six minute drive away ! Downton Abbey was partly filmed in beautiful Bampton which is just down the road . It’s a wonderful central location for exploring the Cotswolds! We’d love you to come and stay , Vikki & Simon

Brilliant Stay!

Host Vikki was a doll, making sure our stay was amazing; communicating beforehand and meeting us upon arrival. The stay was so clean, spacious, and had everything we needed and then some! I would absolutely stay here again, recommend, and wish we could've stayed longer if our trip would've allowed.

Great spot to explore Oxfordshire & Cotswolds

Our host Vikki was very helpful, reaching out to locals to find where we could watch a cricket match, which happened to be within easy walking distance to the Minster Lovell ruins. Perfect start to our first trip to England.

Delightful accommodation for a short stay. The owners are lovely and made us very welcome with a homemade cake and bottle of wine and milk in the fridge. There's only a microwave so not really self catering, but perfectly adequate for a few days stay and there are several good pubs and a Spar shop nearby. Well situated for visiting the beautiful Cotswold towns and villages.

Great Weekend in “The Nook”

Beautifully appointed annex, adjacent to owners’ property. Room had everything you needed for a lovely few days away. Our hosts had put in many thoughtful touches and the homemade cake was lovely, a bottle of wine and Nespresso coffee machine to name a few. Communication was great and hosts very friendly. Cleanliness superb. Situated a short drive from Oxford and the Cotswolds.

Had some lovely chats with vikki & simon who really do go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect for you. We will definitely be returning.

Birthday get away

The Nook, was beautiful inside and out, it was absolutely spotless, we were welcomed with towels on the bed, birthday messages on the mirror, wine and milk in the fridge and some cupcakes on the side. Communication with Vikki was perfect, she made sure we were comfortable and was happy answering any questions we asked. She made the effort to speak to us on arrival and when we were leaving, it was so natural, easy and comfortable. Lovely stay and get away, would definitely recommend.

Ideal property for a get away from it all, with plenty to do close by. The property definitely had the wow factor even before you walk through the door with the beautiful garden. Everything in the property was beautifully done with all the comforts of home and some luxury extras (wine, home made cakes and a coffee machine). The host was lovely and stopped in for a quick chat and offer of anything else we may have needed. machine

Fabulous....simply a dream stay!!!!

Staying at the "nook", was more than a treat....it was a dream!!! The hosts were marvelous. They were the consummate hosts. They were, responsive, fun, open and friendly. Probably THE BEST vrbo experience ever! The accomodations were charming, plenty of space to feel at home, parking right outside the door, tons of maps of the area, recommendations for meals and activities, to suite our tastes. It was simply magnificent...simply magnificent! From the second that we arrived to the second we departed.

The Nook was absolutely fantastic! Great location for everything.

We had such a lovely time. We managed to cram in so much for a short weekend stay. Broughton on water to see model village, woodstock for Bhlenim palace, bladon to see churchills grave, oxford to visit the oldest pub called The Bear Inn, Minster Lovell for its historical ruins and local pubs and finally Cotswolds Wild Life Park on the way home just 10 mins drive from The Nook. Everything is so close and walkable or just a short drive away. Bus stop right outside the house too. Vikki was such a lovely host. Gave us a warm welcome. Baked a beautiful cake and even put a bottle of wine in the fridge. She gave us all helpful tips and advice on where to visit. We will deffinatley be back to stay. Pictures dont do the property justice. If your looking to explore the costwolds with everything on your door step then id strongly recommend coming here to stay. Just perfect!

A rare find

This property was one of the cleanest I've ever seen--and I'm hard to please on cleanliness! There were also lots of thoughtful little touches provided, such as coffee pods, fresh milk, and a bottle of wine. The bed was very comfortable. Also, nearby spots such as Old Minster and Burford are well worth a visit and offer good dining. This rental space is well organized, which is important because it IS small--both the overall space and the shower, for example. However, as long as the traveler can anticipate that, he or she will enjoy the stay. One suggestion: I would have preferred hooks rather than knobs in the bathroom for the towels, or, even better, a couple of long towel rods if a spot can be chosen. Knobs allow towels to slide off too easily, and a rod would let the towel actually dry after use, which is difficult in a rather humid area. Vikki and Simon were friendly hosts, clearly eager to give any assistance they could. The Nook is a good spot!

Hidden gem, perfect for exploring the Cotswolds

Where do I start… This property is absolutely fantastic, full stop! From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Vikki (one of the amazing hosts of this property) with a chilled bottle of white wine and some sublime homemade Victoria sponge muffins, we knew we were onto a good thing! The Nook itself is completely gorgeous, clean, well stocked, and with the best shower I have EVER used. It’s decorated to a very high standard and immaculately presented. Little touches like providing a variety of pods for the Nespresso coffee machine, and putting fresh milk in the fridge, did not go unnoticed. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble, and when we requested a fan as it was quite hot the days we stayed, Vikki dropped a brand new one into us that evening. Location wise, you are 30 mins or less by car from most of the pretty towns of the Cotswolds - Bourton-on-the-water, Lower Slaughter, Stow on the Wold, etc, which for us was perfect. On checking out we met Simon, Vikkis husband, who was equally lovely, very personable and sounded good fun. To sum up, if you are looking from a home from home stay in a gorgeous part of the Country, you will be hard pressed to find a better accommodation run by nicer people!
