A beautiful cottage with space for the 5 of us on different levels. Location was ideal for visiting different places across the Cotswold and even being on the main road it wasn’t too busy. Great size and equipped kitchen, lovely garden for relaxing and playing games. Ceilings downstairs had beams and some doorways felt short but all part of the charm of an old cottage.

We had a lovely break in Gardeners cottage which is tastefully decorated and comfortable. The garden is beautiful and well kept ..we were able to relax whilst kids played in the spacious grounds. We appreciated the welcome pack Thank u We did find that the wifi connection is weak but did not let that dampen our break !

We loved our stay at Gardners Cottage. The location was perfect in a quite village but not too far from a number of attractions and other villages. We visited Oxford for an afternoon tea riverboat cruise which was a lovely afternoon with lovely food and a great guide. We also visited the Cotswold Wildlife Park. This is a beautiful wildlife park with wide open spaces for the animals which you can get up close to. There are a number of other villages in close proximity with Burford being the closest and which had a number of lovely tea rooms which we loved.

Lovely house, well equipped. Helpful owner, who made us feel very welcome. Beautiful surroundings. Downsides: some very low doorways, road noise.

We were very pleased with our stay at Gardener's Cottage. It was in a great location and perfectly satisfied our needs for a Xmas break with 5 adults. Plenty of space in the lounge and a separate dining room. The separate TV room was ideal but we did not find ourselves using the space very much. The garden was lovely and it was shame that we weren't able to use it at this time of year. We had some problems with the electrics during our stay but the property owner was very responsive and the problem was fixed the same day despite it being the day after Boxing Day. If we come back to the Cotswold with a larger group we would be very tempted to stay again.

We spent a week as a family at Gardeners Cottage. The cottage was absolutely lovely and a pleasure to stay in from the first day to the last. It was clean, well presented with lovely furniture and a well equipped kitchen. The little touches of a hamper on arrival and tea/coffee available made all the difference. We had a short call with the owner prior to arrival to sort access to the keys etc and she was very kind and welcoming. All in all an amazing week of walks, pub dinners and board games around the wood burner fireplace. We would love to come back - thank you.

A lovely week in Gardener’s Cottage
A lovely week in Gardener’s Cottage
We enjoyed our week in Gardeners Cottage. Comfortable, clean and beautifully presented, the cottage makes an excellent base for visiting Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon, and of course, the beautiful villages of the Cotswolds. The cottage has off-street parking for 3 cars and a large walled garden with quality garden furniture. A couple of tips, take pizza trays and a pizza cutter with you as they not provided in the otherwise well equipped kitchen. Shipton under Wychwood doesn’t have a supermarket, however we found a very well stocked Co-op in the next village, Milton under Wychwood. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gardeners Cottage for a relaxing break in the Cotswolds.
