Boutique 2Bed Cottage w/ Private Garden

Yew Tree Cottage is a charming bijou retreat in the picturesque village of Southrop, designed for up to four guests seeking comfort, tranquillity, and authentic Cotswold charm. Set within the exclusive Grey’s Court estate, it’s just a short stroll from the renowned Thyme Estate, home to The Swan restaurant, a spa, and a cookery school – making this the perfect countryside escape.

Named for the elegant clipped yew topiary in its immaculate grounds, the cottage features two beautifully appointed bedrooms upstairs: a master with a super-king bed, and a second bedroom with twin beds convertible to a super-king. Both share a luxurious bathroom complete with a cast-iron roll-top bath.

Downstairs, the intimate sitting room exudes warmth and character, with a wood-burning stove, a cosy window seat overlooking the garden, and a study nook for those who enjoy a quiet moment to read or write. The well-equipped kitchen makes self-catering simple, and guests can enjoy alfresco dining in the shared garden surrounded by peaceful countryside views.

With off-street parking and easy access to Bibury, Burford, and Lechlade-on-Thames, Yew Tree Cottage offers the best of both worlds – a serene base for relaxation and an ideal starting point for exploring the most beautiful corners of the Cotswolds.

As part of Grey’s Court, it can also be booked alongside neighbouring cottages for larger family gatherings, combining privacy with the flexibility to come together in timeless Cotswold style.
Set in the heart of Southrop, one of the Cotswolds’ most picturesque and desirable villages, Grey’s Court is a private collection of five beautifully restored cottages offering timeless charm, refined interiors, and effortless access to the region’s finest experiences. Southrop is home to the renowned Thyme Estate, where guests can enjoy a world-class spa, cookery school, and The Swan – an award-winning country inn just a short stroll from your door.

Each cottage at Grey’s Court has its own distinctive character yet shares the same hallmark of quality, craftsmanship, and comfort. Expect soaring beamed ceilings, handcrafted four-poster beds, and cast-iron roll-top baths alongside thoughtfully designed living spaces equipped with premium appliances. The atmosphere is one of understated luxury – where period features meet contemporary elegance.

Guests can unwind beside a wood-burning stove, prepare meals in a well-equipped kitchen, or dine alfresco in tranquil outdoor spaces framed by manicured gardens and open Cotswold skies. Each cottage offers private parking, and family-friendly touches such as high chairs and trusted babysitting contacts can be arranged on request.
