Bay Tree Cottage is the perfect romantic bolthole. Tucked away in an elevated position on the edge of this very pretty village with a choice of excellent pubs and restaurants within easy strolling distance. This delightful cottage combines olde worlde cottage charm with comfort and romance, with the bonus of an enviable location for exploring with or without a car.
Packed with period features; flagstone floors, original beams and a generous stone fireplace complete with a wood burning stove, Bay Tree Cottage has been restored with love and attention to detail.

Outside, Cotswold stone steps lead up to the front of the cottage where you'll find a country cottage garden and garden furniture.
A short stroll along the lane leads to the beautiful pastoral views seen in the photo gallery, and a short walk into the village takes you along a tree-lined lane leading to the village's stunning Wychwood Wild Garden with over 12 acres of woodland, gardens and ponds - quintessential Cotswold countryside and absolutely charming. Four legged friends are welcome too, and when it comes to walking routes, you'll be spoilt for choice.

We had a fabulous week in the Cotswolds. The cottage is lovely and so well appointed. We have visited a number of places and enjoyed them all. Thanks Vanessa for your recommendations - they have been spot on! We have also enjoyed eating out locally particularly at The Hare in Milton Under Wychwood. All in all a great break! Thanks again Vanessa

We stayed at Bay Tree Cottage for 3 nights, to visit the beautiful Cotswolds. The cottage is stunning, perfect for a couple getaway. A lovel welcome basket was left on arival with lots of goodies including jam, bread, butter and even treats for our dog. Vanessa is lovely and came to meet us after checking in and gave insightful information regarding local areas to visit. Wood was left for the log burner which added a nice cosy touch at night. The local pubs are lovely and within walking distance, The Lamb and The Crown which are both dog friendly. Overall the cottage was perfect for our stay and we would definitely return!
