About this property

Bay Tree Cottage, Shipton-under-Wychwood, Burford.

Bay Tree Cottage is the perfect romantic bolthole. Tucked away in an elevated position on the edge of this very pretty village with a choice of excellent pubs and restaurants within easy strolling distance. This delightful cottage combines olde worlde cottage charm with comfort and romance, with the bonus of an enviable location for exploring with or without a car.

Packed with period features; flagstone floors, original beams and a generous stone fireplace complete with a wood burning stove, Bay Tree Cottage has been restored with love and attention to detail. Upstairs the pretty bedroom is cosy and welcoming, and leads to the bathroom with a bath and overhead shower. Outside, Cotswold stone steps lead up to the front of the cottage where you'll find a country cottage garden and garden furniture.

A short stroll along the lane leads to the beautiful pastoral views seen in the photo gallery, and a short walk into the village takes you along a tree-lined lane leading to the village's stunning Wychwood Wild Garden with over 12 acres of woodland, gardens and ponds - quintessential Cotswold countryside and absolutely charming. Four legged friends are welcome too, and when it comes to walking routes, you'll be spoilt for choice.

Bay Tree Cottage is just a 10 minute drive from the popular market town of Chipping Norton and the pretty village of Kingham. Picturesque Stow-on-the-Wold with its wealth of antique shops and tearooms is just 20 minutes drive away. Shipton-under-Wychwood is a perfect base for those who would like a taste of village life. With a short walk you can pick up your morning paper, whilst the two village pubs, The Wychwood Inn, and The Lamb Inn offer a choice of local ales and delicious food.

We have been running Bay Tree Cottage for over 12 years and live just around the corner so we are close at hand to personally welcome guests. Bay Tree is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, evident as soon as you walk out of the front door! Beautiful villages - Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold, Moreton-in-Marsh are all close by and, for Clarkson fans, so is Diddly Squat and The Farmer's Dog, not forgetting Daylesford Farm at Kingham. There are four local pubs with excellent menus; three are within a 10 minute walk of Bay Tree Cottage, and artisan local bakeries and cafes - we really are in heaven here; come and see for yourself ...
