“Wonderful place to stay.”

Central location in the Cotswolds. Kitchen is huge. And unlike many rentals, the pots and pans are top quality. Kitchen has everything you need.

Lupe April 2024

“Wonderful stay in a beautiful, stylish, comfortable home away from home.”

Loved the elegant stylish decor throughout as well as the ideal central location but once inside we could not hear the traffic outside. The little garden was a bonus as well as all the staples included in the kitchen. We would have appreciated more instructions re the TV as we were not familiar with the model but my husband worked it out. Definitely will come back again! Still loads to see.

- Lupe, April 2024

Thank you for this lovely review. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed a great stay at Ellie's Cottage and loved the convenient location too. We look forward to welcoming you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed the cottage and the location. Vip, Chris & Ellie Property Owner
Jonathan March 2024

“Well situated and appointed cottage.”

Not particularly clean, especially the bathroom. Big problem with ants in the kitchen. Have been charged (without my knowledge) for damage to some bedding though it was an item that neither of us can ever recall having seen in the property. No response by Sykes Cottages staff to my queries about this charge.

- Jonathan, March 2024

Thank you for your comments. It is a shame you did not contact us during your stay, in order to give us the opportunity to rectify for you. We would have been happy to do so. We did contact you regarding the damaged bedding via web message, prior to making the charge. It is unfortunate you did not see this. We hope you enjoyed the location of the property in Burford. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

“A lovely property in the the centre of Burford, shops and cafes a moment away.”

Beautifully furnished, exceptionally clean, tastefully decorated and well equipped. Dogs welcomed, throws and accessories, thank you. We ate at The Inn for All Seasons on the A40 (close to Burford) great food, very friendly service and dog friendly.

- Jane, December 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you and your dog enjoyed your stay and the property's location in Burford. Thank you for the pub recommendation. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Joanne October 2023

“Lovely cottage which is in an ideal location for exploring Burford and the surrounding Cotswolds.”

Cottage is very comfortable and well equipped, even with dog beds, toys, bowls and sofa throws. Lots of places to shop and eat along the high street. Most of the pubs were dog friendly. Instruction's were not very clear which garden belonged to the house and if I found the right one had no gate. Neighbours were very friendly. Overall it is a excellent cottage and would definitely return again.

- Joanne, October 2023

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased that you and your dog enjoyed your stay. Dogs are definitely well catered for here! Thank you for raising about the garden signage, we have passed this onto the owner. We hope we can welcome you back again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

Can't fault anything.

- Margaret, October 2023
Peter October 2023

“This is a lovely, clean and very well equipped cottage in an ideal location in Burford We felt really comfortable here, the decor and standard of fixtures and fittings is very high The low beams might be an issue for some - I bashed my head once!”

Although you are well warned

- Peter, October 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner
Kevan September 2023

“Overall a clean and well equipped cottage in a good location, close to pubs and shops and a good base for exploring the wider Cotswolds.”

I’m not sure if the owners were aware but , the cottage that adjoins at the rear is being renovated. For five days of our stay there we’re tradesman between 8am and as late as 7pm on one day. They had set up a tent due to the weather directly in front of the kitchen window and were using power tools constantly- not there fault but, had we known in advance we would have changed the booking date. The garden description needs more clarification. It not clear that the garden does not adjoin the cottage. The small plot does not have a gate ? Not so useful if you have a dog. Also one of the other (I’m assuming) full time residents seemed most put out that we were staying and needed to walk to the ‘garden’ with our dog.

- Kevan, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your say at Ellie's Cottage. It's in a lovely location, so close to everything in Burford, did you try the Curry House on the high street, it's one of the best in the area!. Thank you for letting us know about the works going on at the other cottage, this is something we will speak to the Owner about and we will also pass on your comments about a gate on the garden area. We would love to welcome you back again in the future and your furry friend. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Rumneek Singh July 2023

“We stayed in Ellie’s cottage for three nights (20/07/2023 - 23/07/2023).”

I don’t leave many reviews but this time I definitely had to. Ellie’s cottage was spotless, kitchen was so well equipped . Beds are very comfortable.The whole cottage was cozy. Shops and pubs are walking distance down the road. We will be staying her again.

- Rumneek Singh, July 2023

Thank you so much for providing us with such lovely feedback! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time away and we look forward to welcoming you again soon! Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner

James May 2023

“It may be our mistake but we thought the garden was attached, which was important for the dog!”

Although there is a superb park just up the road. Otherwise it was superb with everything we needed in a well equipped house! Burford is a great hub to explore the Cotswolds, with a lovely High street and a array of different shops. Thank you for allowing us to stay

- James, May 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We apologise for the confusion with the garden. We have updated our description to make this clearer. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and exploring Burford and beyond. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

The property

Located in the Cotswolds village of Burford, Oxfordshire is Ellie's Cottage, a charming, stone-fronted dwelling.

Resting paces away from a hub of amenities and attractions, whilst enveloped by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Ellie's Cottage offers a contemporary base for a group of four, mixing both style and character throughout.

Benefit from a designated parking space before heading indoors, reaching the light and bright open-plan area.

Use this space as your social hub, to prepare meals and dine, and to unwind with the electric fire on in the backdrop.

If the weather allows, be sure to make the most of the nearby private garden, before sloping off to sleep in one of two well-appointed bedrooms, complete with beamed ceilings and original doors; select between a king-size and a double (zip/link).

The cottage is complete with a sleek shower room with contemporary fixtures, providing a stylish space to get ready over the coming days.

Once you're ready to tour Burford, stock up on the essentials at one of the nearby convenience stores, or dine out at The Prince of Burford, The Highway Inn Burford or one of the many eateries alongside River Windrush, before visiting the Tolsey Museum, The Great House, and the Burford Garden Company, a delightful garden centre.

Just outside of the Cotswolds you'll find the Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens, the Crocodiles of the World attraction, and Kilkenny Lane Country Park, all worth adding to your itinerary, whilst the National Trust property of Lodge Park and Sherborne Park Estate is a car journey away, perfect for touring on wet days.

Be sure to visit Bourton-on-the-Water whilst on your travels, where you can hike through Greystones Farm Nature Reserve, tour the Cotswold Motoring Museum & Toy Collection, and dine out with riverside views, or head to Oxford for a day of art, culture, and heritage, before returning home in time for supper.

Make memories with Ellie's Cottage as your abode.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

BURFORD

Swinbrook 2.4 miles; Little Barrington 3.5 miles; Minster Lovell 5.6 miles.

Burford is possibly one of, if not the most famous of the Cotswolds' locations. With its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, it is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. Often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds', the town was originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon ford which later grew to be an important regional crossroads and wealthy wool town. Located midway between Oxford and Cheltenham, it is a little haven of history and beauty that many come to fall in love with when they visit. The 16th century Tolsey building, once the meeting place for medieval merchants, now houses The Tolsey Museum, a delightful local museum illustrating the town's social and industrial past. The church is stunning, a real gem architecturally with many interesting memorials charting some of Burford's great families. There is also the signature, on the baptisimal font, of Antony Sedley, one of the Levellers besieged in the church in 1649 - three of the ringleaders were executed by Oliver Cromwell's men in the churchyard. History awaits! With little change over the centuries, Burford is now very popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for its shopping and antiques, and for the wide variety of places to eat, with restaurants, pubs and tea shops. It is an ideal base for visiting The Cotswolds area as it is within easy driving distance of popular attractions such as Blenheim Palace, Sudeley Castle, Warwick Castle and several National Trust Houses and Gardens. Bourton on the Water, Bibury, Cirencester and Stow on the Wold are all within ten miles.

1 x twin (zip/link, can be double on request) - please request at least 2 weeks prior to arrival.
