About this property
Appin Cottage is just so cute! Set down a quiet lane on the edge of the very attractive village of Shipton under Wychwood, and with Burford (3 miles) and Chipping Norton a short drive up the road, you are right in the heart of the Cotswolds. Not only that, but those with a taste for all things swish can either pop to Daylesford Organic Farm which is about 10 mins away or alternatively you can gorge yourself at the multitude of top notch pubs in the vicinity, all convenient enough for a walk (long or short!) Inside, Appin is a cosy rural retreat with snug woodburning stove which will keep you toasty all year round and large bedroom upstairs that you can soak up the views without so much as lifting your head off the pillow! The cottage is just spot on for a couple looking for a break and who fancy a little exploring - from this location you can do as little or as much as you wish.
Shipton Under Wychwood is a short drive away from the ancient town of Chipping Norton. Chipping Norton boasts a popular weekly market, numerous book and antique shops, many cafes, restaurants and pubs serving excellent food and local ales, art galleries, a museum and a thriving theatre. Chipping Norton is surrounded by the pretty limestone villages of the Cotswolds and offers many walks and cycle trails from the town centre, together with a Lido, perfect for a relaxing swim at the end of a busy day. Blenheim Palace, Rousham House and Gardens and numerous National Trust properties are close by.

Well appointed, everything you might need, clean , tidy and comfortable. Walking distance to Lamb Inn, 10 minute drive to Burford. If you have a big car , parking is a challenge but ok a little way away. This time the Central Heating didn't work but the Log Burner heats the whole house. Third time we've visited and we will be back !!

The owner sent a very informative email once booked with links to walks and details of local pubs. The cottage was stunning and had everything you would need and more, it was spotless and just perfect for the two of us. It was in a great location for visiting local villages and as said a short walk to three fantastic pubs. We loved this cottage and hope to be back sometime because it was a little gem !

My wife hung clothes in the cupboard in the bedroom and that was a big mistake because they came out smelling of damp. We had to open all windows to ease the smell. We had to wash cutlery and the glass board in the kitchen before we could use them and the sink draining board was dirty. Considering the high price to stay here, I expected considerably better than what we found. Sitting out the front enjoying the late sun was nice and all neighbours walking past were very pleasant and had a chat.
