Ask a questionAbout Julia Shirlaw
We have always loved Lechlade since we moved there from London just after our first daughter was born. We now live in a nearby village and we have been doing holiday lets in our little cottage for many years. We love welcoming both new and returning visitors. Nothing gives us greater joy than reading the comments in the visitors book. We really want you to have the most relaxing and enjoyable time possible, and we very much hope you like the complimentary bottle of wine and biscuits!
Julia Shirlaw purchased this Cottage in 2002
Why Julia Shirlaw chose Lechlade
The cottage provides a peaceful haven yet is a couple of minutes walk to the centre of this lovely cotswold village. Other special locations ar within a few minutes drive: the medieval market town of Burford to name but one. Excellent walks are available from the cottage by the river. The Thames path is readily accessible and a nature reserve nearby.
What makes this Cottage unique
Its a cottage typical of the Cotswold style being approximately 300 years old with a traditional stone roof.
