About this property
Set in the grounds of a magnificent Cotswolds Manor House, The Compton Cottage is every inch the rural idyll. A timeless property in a location that is simply breath-taking. Nestling on the bank of the River Coln deep in the Cotswold hills, surrounded by farmland and nearby woods sits this beautiful, romantic gem. Once inside you will find a very special home. A contemporary, newly refurbished converted stable block that’s filled with designer furniture and fabrics. The neat touches throughout are as welcoming to a couple as for a family. Original beams and features remain, reminding you of the history of this grand old manor. Downstairs the shaker style kitchen and dining room finished to a very high spec is a perfect place to cook and relax. Upstairs is the living room, two luxury bedrooms and bathroom. All with uninterrupted views across the countryside. You could not be better located for a Cotswolds weekend or holiday retreat. Your dog is welcome too, with miles and miles of walks on your doorstep. As Cotswold cottages come this is exceptional! A choice you will thoroughly enjoy and no doubt return to.
Northleach IS just off the Roman road, the Fosse Way (A429) 8 miles north-east of Cirencester and 10 miles south-west of Stow-on-the-Wold, and about 7 miles from Burford - making it an excellent place to travel from if you're looking to visit these popular and attractive places. Northleach was at one time an important market town, celebrated throughout Europe as a major centre for the Cotswold wool trade! The fifteenth-century church of St Peter and St Paul, paid for by the wealthy wool merchants, was built with stone dug from the quarry in the town itself and what is now the Market Square. More recently the village has been used in a number of recent films, including the Casual Vacancy of 2015.

Christopher
The kitchen was fantastic and the sofas in the lounge area so comfortable. Communication and details of how to locate the property were spot on. The peace and quiet was amazing and we enjoyed a relaxing long weekend away. Thank you so much.

The cottage was perfect, really well decorated and well equipped with an extremely comfy bed and luxurious bed linen. It actually is better in real life than in the photos, which is unusual! The garden was great for our dog as it's fully enclosed and there were plenty of dog walks nearby. Location wise it was within easy reach of many of the Cotswolds villages whilst having the advantage of being in a quiet location. Nearby Northleach had two great pubs, both dog friendly. All in all, we would thoroughly recommend and hope to return soon.

Very well equipped. Wouldnât hesitate to recommend it, particularly if youâre a dog owner, but be aware the cottage doesnât have many large windows and hence it has limited natural light and views. Might also benefit from a Bluetooth speaker, although probably not high on other peopleâs list of priorities with both Sky and Freeview on offer.
