Old Cottage Hospital Annexe

About this property

The Old Cottage Hospital Annexe is an exeptional, single-storey retreat nestled on a quiet street in central Burford, Oxfordshire. This family-friendly property boasts open-plan living, two en-suite bedrooms, enclosed courtyard, and off-road parking equipped with an EV charging point, making it idyllic for families and groups of friends on a rural getaway in Oxfordshire. Return from a countryside adventure in the Cotswolds or a city escape in historic Oxford to the comfort of your holiday abode. Take a soothing soak in the freestanding bath or a relaxing rinse in the walk-in showers. Follow the spacious hallway into the open-plan area to whip up a scrumptious supper in the well-equipped kitchen space.

Dig in around the table or, when the sun is just too good to resist, slide open those bifold doors to enjoy your meal alfresco in the enclosed courtyard while your kids play safely beside you. The dishwasher volunteers for clean-up duty, so you’re free to settle into the sofa with your favourite film on the TV. When sleep calls, answer in a super-king-size, that can be converted into a twin on request, or a king-size bed ready to catch you. In the morning, soak up your local surroundings at Burford Priory, explore Burford Tolsey Museum, and challenge your loved one to a swing at Burford Golf Club.

Venture a little further afield to Cheltenham for a day out at Cheltenham Racecourse and the Wilson Art Gallery and Museum. Time to spare? Catch an evening show at the Everyman Theatre! Take that short drive to Oxford to treat the history buff to Oxford Castle & Prison, the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Christ Church Cathedral, and the J.R.R. Tolkien Bench. Enjoy all this and more when you book a stay at The Old Cottage Hospital Annexe.

Burford is possibly one of, if not THE most famous of the Cotswolds' locations. With its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, Burford is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. Often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds', the town was originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon ford which later grew to be an important regional crossroads and wealthy wool town. Located mid way between Oxford and Cheltenham (25 mins each away) it is a little haven of history and beauty that many come to fall in love with when they visit.

The 16th century Tolsey building, once the meeting place for medieval merchants, now houses The Tolsey Museum, a delightful local museum illustrating the town's social and industrial past. The church is stunning, a real gem architecturally with many interesting memorials charting some of Burford's great families. There is also the signature, on the baptisimal font, of Antony Sedley, one of the Levellers besieged in the church in 1649 - three of the ringleaders were executed by Oliver Cromwell's men in the churchyard. History awaits!

With little changing over the centuries, Burford is now very popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for its shopping and antiques, and for the wide variety of places to eat, with restaurants, pubs and teashops. It is an ideal base for visiting The Cotswolds area as it is within easy driving distance of popular attractions such as Blenheim Palace, Sudley Castle, Warwick Castle and several National Trust Houses and Gardens. Bourton on the Water, Bibury, Cirencester and Stow on the Wold are all with 25 minutes from the property.
