Instantly recognisable by the original water pump in the front garden, High Pump Cottage is a gorgeous 17th-century Cotswold abode for four, in the pretty village of Ebrington. Surrounded by the rolling hills of the ‘wolds’ this is a walker’s paradise with footpaths leading in all directions. Filled with character and charm and plenty of original features, High Pump Cottage also boasts dreamy interiors, a wood-burning stove and a secret garden room, where you can relax, listen to music, or perhaps put pen to paper for your first novel, with this lovely escape as your muse. The highly regarded village pub is but a meander away.
Full Description
Tucked away in the northern Cotswolds, where country lanes fringed with cow parsley and buttercups meander through impossibly pretty villages and sheep-filled fields, you’ll find Ebrington and High Pump Cottage. The garden path leads you past the original water pump to the front door and into a cottage that is both stylish and elegant yet still filled with character and charm. A wood-burning stove brings warmth on cooler days, whilst the beautiful, decked terrace is a place for lazy afternoons and outside dining.

The interior colour scheme of pale greys, creams and mocha ensures a feeling of light and space. Polished flagstones, exposed stone and beams are the star features of the elegant sitting room, along with a wood-burning stove. This in turn leads you through to the rear of the cottage where you’ll find a ground-floor shower room and a beautiful kitchen and dining area. It’s a gorgeous space and the epitome of a stylish English country cottage. Upstairs is equally delightful, with two bedrooms, a king-size and a double, and a second bathroom with a slipper bath.

Behind High Pump Cottage is a pretty cottage garden with a stunning deck and a stylish set of garden furniture, creating a very usable outside space. Relax with your morning coffee in the sunshine or enjoy alfresco dining as the sun sets. Hidden in the garden you’ll also find the garden room, a second living space for the cottage with comfortable seating, a desk and a wood-burning stove. If you can’t leave work behind this is an ideal spot. There is no allocated parking but on-street parking outside the cottage is freely available.

Ground Floor

Entrance Porch:
The tiled floor of the porch is the ideal place to leave muddy boots, and there are two rows of coat hooks for wet weather gear.

Sitting Room:
This picture-perfect room has flagstone floors, ceiling beams and a wood-burning stove in the original fireplace. A comfy three-seater sofa, matching armchair and an upholstered ottoman beneath the window offers plenty of seating and there’s a Smart TV with streaming services for entertainment. Bookshelves in the chimney alcoves provide a little light reading. It’s a room that just invites you to relax and unwind.

Bathroom:
The first of the two bathrooms is a ground-floor shower room with a step-in shower cubicle, a rainfall shower and hand-held shower head, WC and hand basin and a large wall mirror. There is plenty of shelving to store toiletries.

Kitchen:
With pale units, white walls, a window and double doors to the garden, the kitchen is a light and airy room. Everything practical you could need is neatly housed behind the doors including a dishwasher and a washer/dryer. There is a fabulous retro-style fridge freezer, toaster, and kettle and a wooden dining table with seating for four.

First Floor

Bedroom One:
Delicate shades of dark cream, palest grey and white make this a peaceful and restful room. A large, low window overlooks the pretty front garden, and the king-size bed is made up with crisp white linen and soft throws. Two double wardrobes allow plenty of storage, the Lloyd Loom chair is a place to relax and there's also a chest of drawers which can double as a dressing table and a wall-mounted TV.

Bathroom:
The first-floor bathroom has a charming slipper bath for leisurely soaks, there is a central mixer tap with a handheld shower, WC and hand basin. Natural light flows in from the roof light. There’s a mirrored cabinet where you can store toiletries.

Bedroom Two:
There is a shallow step into bedroom two. This peaceful double bedroom overlooks the rear garden to the trees beyond. The vaulted ceiling and traditional radiator add character and there’s a Velux window letting in even more light. Storage comes in the form of a half-height wardrobe with drawers.

Outside


To the front of High Pump Cottage is a charming garden with the original water pump taking pride of place. The rear garden is accessed via the kitchen. Closest to the house is a stylish decked area with an elegant outside dining set. It’s a really lovely space for relaxing and just listening to the sounds of birdsong. Beyond this is the garden room and then beyond this, the rest of the enclosed garden, which is laid to lawn and where you will find the barbecue. There is no allocated parking for the cottage but on-street parking is freely available at the front of the property.

Reviews

My wife and I stayed in Pump Cottage for a couple of nights and recommend it very highly. As others will no doubt highlight, it is very picturesque, there’s a lovely and impressive welcome box and it is well appointed. Selina is an excellent host - quick to reply to the one message we had to send. We very much hope to stay at Pump Cottage again to enjoy more of the Cotswolds.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Pump Cottage. On arrival, the cottage was welcoming, and exceptionally clean with a beautiful gift basket of goodies awaiting us. The bed was comfy with lovely cotton sheets - the complimentary pillow spray was a lovely, thoughtful addition. The bathrooms were spotless and featured gorgeous fluffy towels (and plenty of hot water). Overall, our stay was relaxing and comfortable with all of our needs catered for - we couldn’t fault it and will definitely be back!

We had the most incredible time at High Pump Cottage! From the moment we walked in, we were struck by how beautifully and tastefully the cottage was both decorated and furnished and by the cleanliness and tidiness throughout; the wonderful hamper left for us by Selina was a really thoughtful touch. Selina was so accommodating, friendly and easy to contact. Ebrington itself is so pretty and nearby Chipping Campden is stunning. We will definitely be returning to the Cotswolds and to stay in High Pump Cottage, maybe in the spring or summer and take advantage of the beautiful garden at the back. Thank you for a really memorable weekend!

Our stay in Pump Cottage was an absolute joy! The cottage is beautiful, warm, cosy and so clean. We were thrilled with the welcome pack left by Selina - full of treats (eggs, bread, biscuits, juice, crisps and even chocolate) and milk, butter and water in the fridge too - we felt thoroughly spoilt! The beds were very comfortable and gorgeous bed linen and the toiletries were an absolute treat. The cottage was full of lovely surprises! We highly recommend the cottage and were only sorry we visited out of season and could not enjoy the outside seating area and garden room as well which looked gorgeous. Another good reason to book to come in Spring or the Summer. Can’t wait to return!

We had an amazing time staying in High Pump Cottage. The cottage is very well equipped and had some lovely goodies waiting for us as we arrived. We loved the wood burner and used it in the evenings. We found a lot of useful information about places to visit and eat. The cottage is located in a beautiful and peaceful village of Ebrington and very close to other beautiful places in the Cotswolds. We would really love to go there again. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay and made our trip a very memorable one. Thank you very much.

Beautiful cottage with lots of thoughtful touches. We loved the autumn styling. Great welcome pack, and lots of wood for the log burner. Overall one of the best cottages I have stayed in. Also so close to the Ebrington Arms which is always good.

Location

The village of Ebrington is one of those wonderful Cotswold places that has retained a real sense of community. There is always plenty going on. The Ebrington Arms is renowned throughout the Cotswolds and is just a short walk from the cottage. Chipping Campden is just 2 miles away and Dover’s Hill, a must for panoramic views, is also nearby. This area is surrounded by superb walking, and it is an excellent location for exploring the wider Cotswolds.
