About this property

Romantic & Secluded Cottage. Beautiful Walks & Fantastic Pub

Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature with leisurely strolls through picturesque landscapes, leading you to local heritage sites that whisper stories of the past. And when the day's adventures have left you longing for relaxation, indulge in a blissful evening soak in the inviting rolltop bath, relax by the wood burner or birdwatch on the outside patio.

The cottage's prime location is a gateway to some of the UK's most renowned heritage attractions, such as White Horse Hill, Wayland's Smithy, Stonehenge and the Roman Baths in Bath. The Cotswolds, the majestic city of Oxford and more are all within easy reach, beckoning you to embark on unforgettable journeys through history and culture.

Churchyard Cottage offers privacy and seclusion, ideal for creating cherished moments on a romantic getaway. Surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the countryside, you'll find yourself perfectly cocooned, while the village of Ashbury provides convenient amenities just moments away.

Nestled on a serene street next to St Mary the Virgin Church in the charming village of Ashbury, Churchyard Cottage offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of city life. As part of traditional village life, you may occasionally hear the soft, dull sound of the church bells. If you are particularly sensitive to countryside sounds such as bells or birdsong, we recommend bringing earplugs for extra reassurance.

The Rose & Crown Pub, just a short walk away, serves great food with a buzzing atmosphere.

We highly recommend having a car during your stay, as Churchyard Cottage finds itself nestled in the heart of rural bliss.
