Lying in a quiet setting just a mile from Charlbury, The Fold offers the best of both worlds. A place to stay surrounded by countryside, with glimpses of the valley beyond, the acid yellow fields and the air filled with birdsong, yet with myriad attractions close by. Inside you'll find vaulted ceilings and pale walls, all adding to the feeling of calm with vibrant pops of colour from modern art and pretty textiles. The sunny terrace tucked away at the back of The Fold is a place to linger over your morning coffee as you ease into the day with the sounds of the wind in the trees as your backdrop. It's also a lovely spot for alfresco dining.
The Fold is on one level with an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. To one end, the well-appointed kitchen features everything you need for a self-catering stay, whilst the reverse of the kitchen island doubles as bench seating for the dining area. The other end is given over to the cosy living area with a plump sofa, comfy wingback chair and a Smart TV. Beyond are two pretty bedrooms, one king size and one twin and the bathroom.
A gravel path leads around The Fold from the front door to the rear where against a backdrop of the neighbouring woodland, you'll find a private terrace with rustic outdoor furniture. A wooden table and chairs offer a spot for outside dining and drinks, and the potted olive trees add a hint of the Mediterranean. It's a very peaceful place to sit and relax. To the front of The Fold is parking for 1-2 cars.
Ground Floor
The front door leads into the open-plan living space. To the right is the kitchen and behind the pale grey cupboards you'll find a dishwasher, fridge-freezer as well as an electric oven and induction hob. There is plenty of storage along with a Nespresso coffee machine and a toaster.
Dining: Clever use of the kitchen island ensures there is ample seating for four guests. The reverse doubles as bench seating, there are then two further chairs to the other side of the table and a statement pendant light fitting above.
Living: A plump stripy sofa sits against one wall along with a blue velvet wingback chair. The rustic wooden table is ideal for board and card games, whilst the large Smart TV ensures entertainment for all.
Bedroom One: This king-size bedroom is beautifully finished with botanical print bedding, statement lighting and an olive-green armchair, creating a delightful reading nook. The overhead angle-poise lamp ensures no eye strain. Storage comes in the form of a large chest of drawers, topped by a large mirror and wall hooks with padded hangers.
Bathroom: Under the window is a bath with a mixer, and handheld shower, there is also a WC and a handbasin with a mirror and a shaver point. A sheepskin rug keeps toes toasty.
Bedroom Two: Bedroom two is a pretty twin room with matching single beds, each topped with an olive-green headboard. Bedside tables are topped with beautiful lamps and there is plenty of light from the window, and the door, which leads directly onto the terrace. Botanical bedding adds colour and there is room to unpack with a large chest of drawers.
Outside
Behind The Fold is a private terrace with a table and chairs to seat four. There is an adjacent woodland and a path through the owner's field to the public footpath beyond. Guests have access to parking for 1-2 cars.

Great base for exploring the Cotswolds
We had a great stay at The Fold, and used it as a base for a week away exploring the Cotswolds. The location is ideal, with a vast range of great walks, pubs and restaurants within a 10-15 minute drive. Accommodation is in good condition, in lovely grounds, and it was great that it was pet friendly
Thanks for having us!

Lovely cottage in an ideal location
The cottage was very clean and well presented. The location was perfect for exploring all the Cotswolds have to offer, whilst being away from the main tourist areas providing a very tranquil and relaxing environment. We would stay here again in the future.

Easter break
Our daughter and family stayed at the Fold whilst visiting Charlbury. The Fold is in an Ideal location, close to the town in a rural setting. The young boys loved the wooded area around the house and spent hours playing in the trees. The house was compact and very well fitted out. The family would definitely stay again.

A short midweek stay
We travelled from London for a short 4 night midweek stay with our dog Skip. The small cottage was perfect and we loved it. There was plenty of space onsite to walk him. It’s well located for local facilities, hike routes and general site seeing. We will definitely come back here again.

Cotswold Break
Location and privacy was perfect ,the walks and open fields for the dog were sublime with just a small walk into Charlsbury . The Fold was well contained with every amenity available other than a shower which I prefer in the mornings but a nice big bath made do for a few days , the beds were very comfy with nice linen and plenty of towels to hand. We had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend The Fold

Great location and accommodation
We really enjoyed our few days here and it was a great base to explore the Cotswolds. The house was very comfortable and welcoming. One issue was It was difficult to manage our dog in the garden from wanting to explore further afield! Some containment would be helpful and a little more privacy. Overall a lovely place.

Perfect family retreat
We had a wonderful 4 days staying at The Fold, a lovely quiet setting in the grounds of a large house. Great spot for exploring the area.
Cottage feels very new and clean, everything you could need is provided, the beds are ridiculously comfortable and don’t get me started on the bath tub!
Owners were very quick to respond when we requested a high chair too.
Thanks Laura & Jonathan!

The Fold
The Fold is just the right property for a stay in the Cotswolds. It's spacious, very well equipped and comfortable, with high ceilings and under-floor heating. The house is neatly placed with its own short driveway off the one for the main house and backs on to woodland. It's a 10- minute stroll into Charlbury.

Chalbury Visit
We liked the location and the cleanliness of the property and were very comfortable. We did not recieve a welcome basket which we have at other Bolthole properties. They left shampoo and conditioner but conditioner was empty and they had a small bit of body soap but it was in the kitchen. A light bulb was out in the bedroom. In spite of that, we thouroughly enjoyed our stay but a little attention to detail would have made it more inviting.

Holiday at the Fold
Great location, lovely properly next to owners home. only downside was on check in both the bed and sofa were covered in dog hair. The owners were prompt to address and extremely friendly. Disappointing that bolt hole retreats were not available by phone or email when I had the issue and alerted them around 5pm on check in, and they did not reply until late the next day and didn’t offer any discount on cleaning fee to subsidise for the inconvenience.
Apart from that lovely property, fab location very peaceful.
