“One of the most beautiful places we have stayed, the house feels magical as you arrive with all the beautiful lavender around the garden.”

The house itself was immaculate, spacious and just beautiful. There's lots to do in the cotswolds and we had the most amazing stay and definitely did not want to leave. This was a very much needed respite break which helped us to connect as a family and just enjoy being together. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay

- Laura, June 2024

Mia August 2023

“The house was absolutely perfect for our stay.”

Such a beautiful house, I would definitely rebook.

- Mia, August 2023
Serena August 2023

“Lovely stay in this property - a beautiful cosy, clean, home and in an excellent location near the Wild Rabbit.”

We had no issues with the house at all (other than the small inconvenience that we had to go and buy logs for the fire when it said they were included, but building a fire in August is not the norm). However, for the cost of the house parking was unsatisfactory. We had been told pre-arrival and in the arrival pack about the one car parking space and were very diligent to move our second car to the road a few minutes walk away. On our second evening we returned to a large 4x4 parked in our allocated space which remained there for the ENTIRE stay. We eventually found out it was a guest of no 10 when they eventually left days later, but they were entirely unapologetic that they had parked in our space the whole weekend (despite it being obvious they knew it was our space) and forced us to park on the main road and walk up to the house in the pouring rain for the duration. This is not the fault of the lovely property owners, but we are unable to recommend this property to friends with children/mobility issues etc as a result. This particular neighbour was not courteous and definitely knew they were taking our space which is not the friendly Cotswolds environment we are used to on our many visits. Such a shame, as other than that the experience was wonderful.

- Serena, August 2023

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry that you had issues parking. We have been in contact with the owner of the other property in order to prevent this happening again. In the event that you experience issues such as this, do let us and know and we will try to resolve things during your stay. We are very glad that you were pleased with the property and location and hope you were able to enjoy your stay. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Casey July 2023

“Amazing property, wonderful location and fully enjoyed by our whole family.”

I am sure we will return. Our only issue was that we had to remove our roof box to park at the property. Due to the height restricted entrance.

- Casey, July 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments. We hope we can welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
R May 2023

“A lovely cottage.”

Exceptionally clean and well presented.

Medi April 2023

“We had a wonderful week at 12 Manor Farm Close.”

The cottage is beautifully designed and is located in the stunning village of Kingham. The property to us was perfect expect for a couple of things. We requested the high chair, but despite calling customer service who directed us to the garage (which we didn’t have a key for) no one could locate it so we managed without it. Also, as we had a roof box fitted on the car, on arrival, we realised that we could not fit under the two archways going through to the property. This made unloading challenging but we managed. Details of the height restrictions would have been useful on the property description. Overall, wonderful stay in the prettiest of locations.

- Medi, April 2023

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we are sorry the high chair could not be located for your stay and will look into adding the height restrictions for the archway (although we don't believe this has been as issue before). We're so pleased to hear you had an enjoyable stay in this delightful location. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner
Rhia March 2023

“We had a lovely stay at this cottage.”

Kingham was the perfect location and acted as a good base to visit all the surrounding towns and villages. It has a great pub just a short walk away, which we visited daily to relax in front of an open fire. We travelled with our 6month old baby and the open plan layout suited us perfectly. A lovely cottage with plenty of space for 4 adults. Very tidy and clean, the living room rug could do with a clean/replacing as appeared quite mud stained. Luckily I brought with us a foam mat for our baby to play/crawl about on. Peaceful place to stay with very comfortable beds. I thought parking may be a slight issue but it was no issue parking just outside the drive on a very quiet road. We probably overpacked but without a washing machine with a 6month old, it was a bit challenging but didn’t affect our stay. I read previous reviews about no washing machine so we were aware there wouldn’t be one before we travelled. Overall a lovely stay!

- Rhia, March 2023

Thank you for your detailed feedback, we appreciate your comments. So pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at 12 Manor Farm Close and hope to welcome you back. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner
Timothy Mark March 2023

“The cottage was beautiful and we would recommend it.”

The only reason we wouldn’t stay again is that we often stay longer than a week and would need a washing machine.

- Timothy Mark, March 2023

Thank you for providing us with such lovely feedback on your stay. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your time away at 12 Manor Farm Close and we appreciate your suggestion for improvement. Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Paul December 2022

“Lovely cottage tastefully decorated.”

However for us we found the sofas uncomfortable and our bed sunk in the middle. The property was not very clean either which really surprised us and the rug in the lounge was dirty. Apart from this we enjoyed our stay with every amenity we needed. The welcome Christmas hamper was a lovely touch.

- Paul, December 2022

Many thanks for your feedback. And pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry to hear that the cleanliness was not up to our usual standards and this has been addressed with the housekeeping team. We will check the sofas and the beds and action anything that is required for future guests. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Katy December 2022

“We had a lovely stay; very clean and well thought out house.”

Loved the interiors and want to use the same colour in the hallway for our home!!! It felt cosy yet practical and appreciated all of the supplies left for us; genuinely enough dishwasher tablets, soap, sponges etc for the full stay! Great location and two lovely village pubs, as well as neighbouring villages! Such a pretty place to be in the snow! Facilities were great and again well thought out. Only thing, as I know other reviews have mentioned, is a washing machine...hard to be a week away with a toddler without one! Also would have loved some Christmas decorations, but that's getting picky!!! We would definitely recommend and would love to return.

- Katy, December 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback and recommendation, the owner does has wonderful taste and we are pleased that you enjoyed the thoughful touches. We understand that a washing machine is helpful with a toddler, however unfortunately there is not enough space to fit one. Kingham must have looked delightful in the snow, and we can confirm that a Christmas tree is provided closer to Christmas. We hope to welcome you back again. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner

“We had the best weekend in this gorgeous cottage - couldn’t recommend enough!”

- Elise, November 2022

Alice November 2022

“Beautiful, practical and comfortable cottage.”

Really clean and tidy upon arrival, and great communication by Sykes throughout. Well equipped kitchen. Property includes an iron, ironing board and hair dryer which were not listed, great additions though!! Great location in one of our favourite Cotswold villages - Kingham. Short drive to other fantastic villages.

- Alice, November 2022

Thank you for this lovely review which is much appreciated. We're delighted you loved your stay at the cottage and all the facilities provided. We hope to welcome you again. Manor Cottages Property Owner

“We had a great week at the cottage, the cottage was nice and clean just like the images on the website.”

Everything you could ask for if you are looking for a relaxing time away. We would definitely visit again also recommend the cottage to family and friends. Kal

S June 2022

“Would be good to add to listing that the cottage is accessed through the archway, first left up Manor Drive.”

It wasn't obvious

Thank you for providing us with your feedback. We appreciate the scores you have provided for your stay, as well as your comments for improving the listing. We hope to welcome you back to 12 Manor Farm Close again in the future. Property Owner
Leeson May 2022

“Great holiday cottage and the surrounding area was breathtaking with brilliant nearby pubs.”

The only downside to the property is that it didn’t have a washing machine and as we stayed for 7 days it makes it really difficult when you have children staying with you, therefore we feel would be more suitable for short stays.

- Leeson, May 2022

Thank you for providing feedback following your stay at 12 Manor Farm Close. We're glad you enjoyed the cottage and the location. So sorry about there being no washing machine - unfortunately there is no space but we do understand that with a young family it would have been very useful! Property Owner
Jane May 2022

“Wonderful cottage in a beautiful village.”

A washer/dryer would have been handy for our two week stay.

- Jane, May 2022

Thank you for taking the time to leave a feedback, we had a few comments regarding the washer/dryer, we tried to find a place to fit one in, but there is no place unfortunately and that's why its not mentioned in the property features. Apologies for any inconveniences and we look forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner
Timothy May 2022

“It was perfect,great location,walking distance to the Wild Rabbit.”

A few items; -photo of where to park should be with wi-fi code,not buried in book. -Counters stain,maybe a trivet or something for the tea pot. -No extra toilet paper,we borrowed some! Will try & get back soon.

- Timothy, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback! It sounds as if you had a lovely break. Thanks for your suggestion on the parking info. We're actually putting a laminated picture in the entrance area showing the parking space for no. 12. This should hopefully save any confusion in future. This is a self catering property so we do provide enough toilet paper to get you started but guests are required to purchase their own once these are used up. Thank you for bringing to our attention the stain on the counter - we will look to have this rectified as soon as possible. We' d love to have you back again in the future! Property Owner
Sarah March 2022

“A wonderful relaxing weekend away with the girls.”

The house was beautiful and we had everything we needed. Having an open fire was great for the cool evenings and it was great to have some basics in the kitchen like dishwasher tablets, foils etc. Would definitely this house.

- Sarah, March 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased to see you were able to enjoy the open fire and relax in this beautiful house. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner
Julie February 2022

“Thank you for such a lovely experience, the attention to detail was exceptional.”

Those little touches such as the heating being on making it feel warm and welcoming on our arrival, the hamper and the essential oils that could be smelt throughout the duration of our stay. They were all such special touches that made our stay so memorable. The interior and design were if the highest standard and the location was just perfect. We have shared this property with our friends and family, I would definitely stay here again. An amazing home

- Julie, February 2022

Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your stay at 12 Manor Farm Close. We're thrilled to hear you had such a lovely stay and loved the cottage as much as we do! We'd love to welcome you back in the future! Property Owner
Jayne December 2021

“We had a wonderful, relaxing, family Christmas staying at this beautiful cottage.”

The peaceful location, gorgeous interior and lovely extra personal touches including the Christmas decorations made this a perfect holiday for us. We appreciate the thought and effort gone into making this a delightful holiday cottage, we loved it all!

The property

12 Manor Farm Close is located in the heart of Kingham, in Oxfordshire, an award winning village that looks as good as it sounds.

With Daylesford Organic Farmshop just around the corner and two of the region's finest pubs, The Wild Rabbit and The Kingham Plough, just a scenic stroll away, you are in the perfect spot for a fine retreat!

The property has been refurbished to an exceptional standard, with an elegant and contemporary feel to it.

From the moment you step through the front door, you are welcomed into the gorgeous, open-plan living space, providing exactly the look and feel that today's increasingly discerning customer demands; it's the perfect space to relax or socialise with natural light flooding in through the sky lights.

Whatever the weather the open-plan living area is ideal; throw open the doors in the summer, or gather around the cool and contemporary woodburner on those chilly, winter evenings.

For the more technically savvy, make use of the latest gadgets and gizmos to satisfy all your entertainment requirements.

If all the excitement proves to be a little too much for you, then retire to one of the three incredibly stylish en-suite bedrooms.

The ground floor boasts two king size bedrooms; one having an en-suite shower room, and the other an en-suite with bath with a shower over.

The third bedroom (Please note: this room does not have a door), a twin (Please note: these are futon beds with futon mattresses,), is located on the first floor and again boasts an en-suite shower room.

Outside is a wonderful sun-trapped courtyard offering a garden table and chairs for alfresco dining, as well as comfortable sofas to enjoy a glass of wine anytime of the day.

If you can bear to drag yourself away from the cottage, then Kingham offers the opportunity to part with your hard earned cash, either at the highly regarded organic farmshop at Daylesford, which is easily reached on foot from Manor Close, or in either of the award winning village pubs, namely The Wild Rabbit, which gained its first Michelin star in 2017.

From Kingham you are also in easy reach of many of the quintessential Cotswold destinations; Stow-on-the-Wold lies just 6 miles away, and is home to an array of quirky shops and a host of eateries, whilst Bourton on the Water and Burford are each just a short and scenic drive away.

For days out while at the cottage, why not spend the day exploring Chastleton House, a Jacobean manor home encompassed by perfectly manicured gardens, or for the history buffs, Chipping Norton Museum is within easy reach and offers a delightful insight into a time gone-by.

Slightly further afield, why not venture out to the Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens, getting up-close with over 260 species of animal, both native and exotic.

12 Manor Farm Close is a true, authentic Cotswolds experience, ideal for a relaxing break at any time of year.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £400.
