If you’re looking to get away to a peaceful retreat in the heart of the Cotswolds where you can enjoy leisurely strolls through the countryside and days out visiting quaint villages filled with honey stone cottages, then Bill’s Cottage brings you the epitome of country living. Set on a working arable farm you are surrounded by stunning far-reaching views. This comfortable cottage will allow you to feel at home so you can enjoy your time with family and friends. The large living room has space for everybody to spread out and play board games into the evening in front of the wood burning stove and the cottage kitchen has a spacious dining area. Each of the three bedrooms have plump bedding and blankets and surround you in peaceful silence. All of your needs are catered for in this well-equipped cottage and you will enjoy spending time in the garden with the children and family pet looking out across the views in your rural setting.

Despite being in a rural location, Bill’s Cottage is perfectly situated for exploring the northern Cotswolds, from Cheltenham to Burford, north to Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold, you can reach a number of highlights in less than half an hour.

You arrive at Bill’s Cottage along a quiet country lane, passing farmland on each side with glimpses out to the hills in the distance. It is set on a working farm just outside Turkdean and Northleach and has been renovated to a high standard while keeping many of the original features in place. The cottage is the perfect setting for a family get together, or a reunion of friends who just need time away to reminisce and build new memories. You will find wooden beams and an original fireplace with its exposed stone surround, stone flooring and window seats and images showing the restoration process of this old farm cottage. Providing a base to explore the surrounding area you have everything you could need for your time in the Cotswolds.

The heart of the cottage is a large sitting room which looks out to the garden. Gather here in front of the fire for long conversations, planning trips and competitive matches of charades. If you’re staying during the summer you can take your meals outside to the lovely garden where you are enveloped in the scent of lavender, but if not the kitchen has a dining area for serving meals made from the ingredients you bought at the local markets found that day. Upstairs three bedrooms give you the rest you need after days spent laughing, walking and marvelling at the Cotswold countryside.

In the garden you may hear the hum of farmyard machinery which adds to this rural setting. With an outdoor dining area and a couple of loungers you can bring a book outside, watch the children and dog race around the lawn and take advantage of the BBQ for slow cooked meals. You are spoilt for locations to visit here, Cheltenham is around a thirty minute drive where you can meander through the regency town’s streets. Much loved Bourton-on-the-Water and Burford are nearby and you have a choice of National Trust estates.

We stayed with 2 children & our dog. The cottage was well equipped,a few lovely touches such as a home made cake on arrival. We had the log burner on a few times which gave the cottage a real cosy feel. Fin the horse was a big hit with our kids! Lovely quiet walks right on our doorstep, & well situated to visit the local Cotswold towns & villages. Would happily recommend & would stay again. 5*

Mary was very friendly and helpful. There was a delicious cake and essential supplies left for us which was very kind. We had a lovely weekend in the Cotswolds.

Loved the layout of the cottage. Had everything you needed and then some. Lovely touches in the cottage such as a packet of polos left to feed Finn, the horse who put in a daily appearance at the kitchen window. Would return in a heartbeat. Everything was just perfect.

Bill's Cottage was a lovely property, very well equipped and ideal for our short family get-away (parents, daughter, grandchild and dog) and in a very quiet location. The owner was very friendly and helpful and provided some introductory food items such as bread, milk, eggs from the farm and a delicious homemade sponge cake. She even provided a packet of polos for us to give to the horse in the adjacent field who would come for his treat over the fence in the early evening. There were lots of interesting places to visit nearby plus plenty of pubs for meals in the area. It made a very nice venue for a family get-together for a long weekend.

We have had a fabulous stay in Bill’s Cottage. Mary the host was really helpful and accommodating. The location was perfect for our cycling holiday with lots of beautiful routes right from the doorstep. The house was clean, tidy and well equipped. We will be looking forward to returning again next year.

Bill's Cottage is in a perfect location. Rural views all around, peaceful & quiet but not far off the beaten track & easy to find. It is very central for the whole of the Cotswolds. Clean, cosy, comfortable and well equipped. Hard to beat. Some very welcoming finishing touches (fresh flowers, homemade cake etc). The owner was very friendly, welcoming and informative.Highly recommended.

A very warm welcome when we arrived by the host which was topped off with a delicious cake waiting for us on the kitchen table. The property was extremely well presented and as described in the listing with all rooms well prepared, clean, and tidy. There were detailed instructions on all appliances which saved time and effort and was much appreciated by all. The views from the property were fabulous in all directions and it was so easy just to sit down and relax in the garden and to make sure Fin the horse had plenty of mints. Without a doubt, my wife and I can easily recommend Bill’s Cottage to anyone who is looking for a peaceful break with beautiful views.

Beautifull cottage in such a peaceful location. Had a lovely welcome from Mary with a delicious homemade Victoria sponge, fresh loaf of bread, eggs from the farm and milk. the grounds were beautiful. The farms horse Finn would come and see us everyday looking for some Polos. We loved hearing the owls in the evening. The house came fully equipped, especially the kitchen which had a whole cupboard of kids plates, bowls, cups and cutlery. If you are pizza lovers we recommend restaurant/pub The Stump which was a 10 min drive. the pizza was amazing, even the gluten free one!

Had a wonderful week staying at Bills Cottage. Mary was very welcoming and helpful on our arrival and the little extras such as cake and fresh eggs were very welcome. The cottage is ideally placed for exploring the Cotswolds. Bourton, Burford and Cirencester (to name a few) are all within a 20 minute drive. The cottage was so peaceful and relaxing, our dog loved the garden. The cottage was clean, and comfortable and had everything we needed for a great week. Would definitely consider returning if we return to the area. Would recommend it to anyone.

Location

This rural location just outside Turkdean and Northleach, in the middle of farmland is a real escape from the city. Bill’s Cottage is on a working arable farm with a range of activities and days out nearby. Walks from the door take you to the neighbouring villages and towns and a short drive will get you into the further Cotswolds. Just south of Northleach is Far Peak Camping with on-site climbing and an outdoors centre, a great destination for families to keep children, young and old, entertained. You must also visit The Old Smokery where live music is regularly on offer. Arlington Row at Bibury, the banner image of the Cotswolds, is very close by and worth a visit and the National Trusts’ Chedworth Roman Villa and Sherborne Park Estate are both a short drive. Further afield, Cheltenham, Bourton-on-the Water, Burford, Cirencester, Moreton-in-Marsh and Chipping Norton are all highlights.
