“We very much enjoyed our stay with our grandsons at Pheasant Cottage.”

It is a really lovely cottage in a beautiful village convenient to visit places in the Cotswold. It was so nice to see the horses in the field to the front of the cottage & the donkeys in the field behind the cottage, just idyllic! Just as a little comment really regarding the smart tv it would be nice to be able to access Netflix for the children to watch. However it didn’t in any way spoil our stay. Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback, regarding your stay at Pheasant Cottage. We are delighted you and your Grandson had a lovely time, i hope you managed to visit Cotswold Wildlife Park just down the road, the animals and train is always a hit with mine. We will pass on your comments to the Owner, but with most smart TV's if you already have an account, you should just be able to log in. We hope to welcome you for another adventure soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

First time using them but have been recommended by family. So I won't be going there again. She also commented on my daughter's sped of after dropping me. Which was odd. She had her Insusction get me there and made sure I could use the key

“We had a lovely stay at Pheasant Cottage.”

It was very comfortable and well equipped. The cottage is located in a beautiful area and within easy walking distance to the pub. Walks on your doorstep that sadly we didn't get a chance to do. We had chosen Pheasant Cottage for it's position as it was close to family members we were visiting. Would definitely book again.

Carole May 2021

“Property was spacious, comfortable and well provisioned.”

the owners lived across from the property and were very pleasant and helpful. We were there to meet our son and family who had just returned from the Falklands and the 2 grand children stayed the night with us. The location was ideal for them. A nice safe environment for them to play. I would recommend this property.

- Carole, May 2021

Many thanks for recommending Pheasant Cottage. We hope you had a lovely time with your grand children. Property Owner
Ann September 2020

“Spacious cottage in idyllic and peaceful setting.”

5 mins walk to village pub. No shops in village but only 15 mins walk to well stocked Spar shop. Old Mister Lovell village is a very picturesque typical Cotswold village and the ruins of Minster Lovell Hall are amazing and well worth a visit. Convenient for visiting Burford and Witney. We really enjoyed our stay at Pheasant cottage and hope to return soon. Many thanks to Sue and Jacques.

- Ann, September 2020

We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and you were able to experience the local villages. The owners would love for you to return in the near future. Property Owner

“The peace and quiet of the cottage and its immediate surroundings was enjoyed by both of us.”

Of course the hot weather was an added bonus but the fact that the thick stone walls kept the cottage cool even on the hottest day was much appreciated. The cottage was clean, well equipped and very comfortable.

- Helen, September 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments on Pheasant Cottage. We are glad you were able to enjoy the peace and quiet plus the hot weather. Property Owner

Janet August 2019

“The facilities were great and the cottage was everything we expected (larger than we had anticipated but that was a real bonus).”

We had a really comfortable stay and the owners were lovely. Land available (should we have wanted to use it) was also a bonus. There was an abundance of information in the cottage about the cottage itself and the area we were visiting. The location was great for our purposes. The cottage provided privacy, peace and quiet and a beautiful setting for a relaxing holiday. We loved staying at Pheasant Cottage - highly recommended.

- Janet, August 2019
Sue June 2019

“The cottage is in a very quiet private location.”

The weather unfortunalty was not the best but coming back to this warm cosy cottage made the holiday. The cottage is very comfortable and very well equipped. Very comfortable beds and pillows. Sunny patio area with bbq had the weather been better. Would be happy to stay again.

- Sue, June 2019

Cottage was very comfortable, peaceful and very well equipped - we were very happy with the accommodation.

The property

Pheasant Cottage is a fabulous period barn set in the gorgeous Cotswold corner of Old Minster Lovell, very much the traditional village.

The barn is spacious with good size rooms throughout all light and bright and with lovely views in all directions.

It is also presented immaculately clean and fresh.

You are located up a little gravel track with fields to either side of the barn, including one which is for your use - so you can stretch your legs or simply sit and admire the lovely Cotswolds roof tops in the distance.

The barn has a private terrace to the rear, a real sun trap and tip top for a morning cuppa!

At the end of the drive you can sample some quintessential English scenes with the village cricket pitch (a safe distance away!) some beautiful cottages in another direction or alternatively the delightful Swan pub 5 minutes walk away.

For the more active there are excellent walks directly from your door including the Old Minster Lovell Hall (English Heritage).

A very well located holiday cottage in one of the Cotswold's most .villages. Please note no travel cot available
