3 Bedroom Cottage in Charlbury

Winding lanes meander through the Oxfordshire countryside to Charlbury, a small but thriving Cotswold country town. On a quiet no-through lane, under the gaze of St. Mary's Church in the oldest part of Charlbury, is where you'll find Priory Cottage.
Clad in traditional Cotswold stone, outwardly Priory Cottage has a very traditional feel, inside however are beautifully appointed rooms and all the creature comforts needed for a fabulous stay. On the ground floor is a spacious living room with a wood-burning stove and a huge, super-comfy corner sofa and a light-filled kitchen diner painted in the dreamiest shade of blue that will inspire lazy breakfasts and meals that linger long into the evening. There's also a very chic ground-floor cloakroom. Upstairs is an exquisite master bedroom with a double bed and an ensuite shower room, another pretty double room, a family shower room, and an astonishing double bunk room, with two sets of full-size bunk beds that have been hand-built, with privacy curtains for each bed, making this the ultimate children's hideaway.
Hidden behind the cottage is a fully enclosed rear garden with a sunny patio and a garden table and chairs set beneath an old apple tree. From June to September, there's also a hammock in the garden for lazy, summer afternoons. Behind one of the side gates is a 3-pin socket which can be used for charging an electric vehicle. There is one parking space immediately outside the property which is suitable for a medium-sized family car.

The pet fee is NOT included in your booking fee. A request for an additional fee per pet will be sent to you after you have placed your booking.

Ground Floor
Entrance Hall:
Step through the reclaimed Arts and Crafts front door into the entrance hall which features a handy bench, where you can perch to remove outdoor shoes. Above your head are plenty of coat hooks, engraved with GWR, a nod to the Great Western Railway which runs through Charlbury.
Living Room:
This elegant, yet cosy room is decorated in calming shades of grey and white and is a welcoming place to relax after a day exploring the Cotswolds. On chilly evenings, put a match to the wood-burning stove, stream a film on the Smart TV and sink into the exceptionally large and comfortable sofa, which can easily seat eight. In the drawers under the TV, you'll find some games and cards and on the windowsill a selection of books. Dual aspect windows are framed by fabulous curtains from Suzie Watson Designs, you'll also find her stamp on the cushions and in soft furnishings throughout the cottage.
Kitchen/Diner:
A large, reclaimed refectory-style table is set beneath the front window, flanked on one side by a wood pew, repurposed from its former home in a Walthamstow church, reclaimed captains chairs sit at either end, whilst a long bench completes the seating. Soft cushions and sheepskin rugs add a touch of comfort. Large lamps take centre stage on the windowsill, which looks out to the lane beyond.
The kitchen is painted a stunning shade of blue and behind the cupboard doors is everything you need to create fabulous meals, or why not have a private chef cater for you. An island to one side creates a breakfast bar, where you can perch on one of the twin stools, while to the other side, there's an electric oven, induction hob and a double ceramic butler sink and plenty of storage.
Cloakroom:
The smallest room in the cottage has been afforded the same incredible attention to detail with a beautiful, tiled floor, WC, hand basin set into a marble shelf and brushed brass taps and feature-pipe, heated towel rail.
First Floor
Stairs with a fat rope handrail curve up to the first floor, and two distinctive wall hangings feature on opposite walls.
Bedroom One:
This delightful bedroom overlooks the lane to the front of the cottage and is styled in calm shades of pale grey and crisp white with muted red accents picked up in the velvet cushions, woollen throw, and beautiful curtains. An occasional chair sits in one corner, whilst the double bed has an upholstered headboard and is flanked on either side by night consoles topped with feature naked bulb lamps. A walk-in cupboard provides plenty of hanging storage.
Ensuite:
The well-appointed ensuite features a walk-in shower with a rainfall shower head, a granite-topped table with a circular hand basin and a heated and lit mirror above, a WC and a large, frosted window providing plenty of natural light.
Bedroom Two:
With a décor of the palest dove grey, duck egg blue and cream, this pretty room features a double bed with a beautiful, upholstered headboard, wall-mounted night consoles, with matching lamps, and a button-back occasional chair with a tiny lamp table perfectly placed for resting a drink as you relax. There is plenty of storage in the built-in cupboard.
Bedroom Three:
It could be argued that this is the best room in the house. A pair of bespoke, handmade wooden bunk beds sit opposite each other, providing sleeping space for four. With a wooden ladder at each end, fabulous camel print blinds and cushions, and the ability to create your own hidey-hole with privacy curtains that can be pulled across each bunk, this room is heaven-sent for children. Each bunk also has its own reading light. It works perfectly for two families or friends with children travelling together. A built-in cupboard with hanging space provides lots of storage.
Bathroom / Shower Room:
The stylish family shower room features a marble floor, marble walk-in shower with a rainfall shower head, WC, and a hand basin with a heated and lit mirror above.
Outside
To the rear of Priory Cottage is a fully enclosed garden, while a paved terrace runs along the back of the house to both side gates and the bin store. Three steps from the paved area lead up to the raised lawn area and the main patio area in the corner, which features an extendable table and eight chairs beneath an old apple tree. There is also a fire-pit style grill barbecue, and from June to September a garden hammock is available. At the top of the steps is a two-seater bistro table and chairs, perfect for a morning coffee in the sunshine, there is also a welly boot rack by the backdoor. To the front of the cottage is a pull-in parking space for one car and a 3-pin socket is available for charging electric vehicles.

Summary: Beautiful property, ideally placed for our daughters Cotswolds wedding

Summary: The cottage was comfortable but the noise from the central heating cupboard in the main bedroom caused sleep disturbance, as did the fan in the ensuite bathroom, which did not turn off. The shower cubicles needed hand rails and neither bathroom had any storage space. Directions on how to operate the washer/dryer would have been useful. The allocated parking bay is not useful for any car larger than a mini or similar. The house needs a deep clean to include floors and skirting boards, which were dusty and debris from previous occupants was evident in the dining area.

Summary: Beautiful property, finished to a very high quality with everything you would need. Lovely bathrooms with fabulous showers. The bunk bed room was a hit with adults but would be fabulous for children too. Excellent communication from the owners. Would highly recommend.

Summary: This was a special weekend away for four friends and the cottage provided the perfect home from home. Priory Cottage is beautifully and thoughtfully appointed and we needed for nothing and everything is of the upmost quality. We met the owner on our arrival who was very welcoming and helpful. Inside we had a generous hamper of goodies and essentials in the fridge. We settled in, having lit a fire in the stove, and relaxed on the enormous squidgy sofa. On Saturday night we were going to go to a nearby pub for dinner but we ended up wanting to enjoy the cottage as much as possible and we had a leisurely and relaxed meal around the beautiful dining table. The pictures speak for themselves, but the lounge is more beautiful than the photos reveal. Prior to arriving we were able to download a really useful guide for our stay which covered the cottage essential info and a helpful guide for the local area. I also thought Bolthole Retreats was a really good website to use for booking - I will book with them again.

Summary: A wonderful cosy Christmas. Church, excellent meal at the Bull and great Deli all in walking distance. The cottage is beautifully appointed and was festively decorated for our arrival. We found everything we needed. Beds extremely comfortable and furnishings and fittings of excellent quality. Spotlessly clean. A beautiful home in a charming village. We thank the owners for the lovely Christmas treats and our stay.

Summary: A. We chose this cottage because near a railway station. There are some local bus services as well as trains but we ran out of time to try these as the very friendly village has plenty to keep you busy for 5 days - playground, good walks, cafe/deli etc. We’ll come again.

Summary: We loved our stay at Priory Cottage! When we arrived, Ashley met us on site to let us in, show us around and provide tips on the local area. The cottage has been beautifully renovated to a very high standard and is equipped with everything you could need. There were 5 adults in our group and there was plenty of space for everyone. We loved the balance of quaint character cottage and modern convenience. And with the help of the OS maps provided, we found some local walks to take in the beautiful scenery. Charlbury village is charming in its own right but is also super convenient for trips to Oxford and even London, with a direct train line to Paddington. Whilst Priory Cottage is a long way from home in New Zealand, we would definitely love to return one day.

Summary: We loved our 5 days at Priory Cottage!! The property is expertly decorated with designer finishes, is comfortable, and has all of the amenities of home. It was the perfect size for my family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenagers). The beds are full sized, not queen, so keep that in mind if you’re used to sleeping in a queen or king bed (the mattresses and bed coverings are very comfy). The cottage has a lovely garden with a hammock under an apple tree, a perfect spot for a nap. Charlbury is a delightful village. The Bull Inn is a 2 minute walk and serves a wonderful dinner! The Indian takeaway in town is also very tasty. The Tite Inn is also a delicious lunch and dinner spot with a gorgeous garden just a 10 min drive from the cottage. Overall Charlbury was a great location for visiting both Oxford and the Cotswolds. Finally, our hosts (Ashley and Niki) were wonderful! They made sure we had everything we needed and were incredibly quick and responsive when we had a question. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!!
