    “Great Holiday property, very comfortable, tranquil, Ideal setting for our Golden wedding Anniversary dinner and holiday, great setting next to Lovely historic Church with it's ties to the Mitford Family etc.”

    Shame about the lack of Mobile phone signal, had to walk 3/4 mile to top of nearby hill to be able to send or receive.

The property

Hillside Cottage, Swinbrook is a stunning 5 star cottage, presented to the highest standard and without question one of the finest cottages in the Burford region.

Voted Winner of The Best Holiday Cottage in the Cotswolds in 2019.

The owners have overseen a superb renovation of one of the oldest cottages in this historic village to provide sumptuous (a word we haven't used on a cottage before!) self catering accommodation in a location that overlooks the village church - a truly quintessential spot.

The kitchen is the real heart of the home: beautiful with high quality materials, and Aga and views across the enclosed garden.

The four bedrooms and three bathrooms are similarly stylish, spacious and gorgeous.

We are bowled over by this cottage (one of the team wants to move in!) and we are quite certain you will be too.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.

About the location

Burford

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, Burford 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 mid way between Oxford and Cheltenham (25 mins each away) 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 changing 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 teashops. It is an ideal base for visiting The Cotswolds area as it is within easy driving distance of popular attractions such as Blenheim Palace, Sudley Castle, Warwick Castle and several National Trust Houses and Gardens. Bourton on the Water, Bibury, Cirencester and Stow on the Wold are all with 25 minutes from the property.

NOTE: This property has a £500 good housekeeping bond. This amount is automatically shadowed when the booking is made. If there is any damage caused during your stay that exceeds the £500 good housekeeping bond, please note that you will be held liable for the whole cost to replace / rectify damage.
Note: Barbecues are not permitted at this property.
Note: AGA is only available certain months of the year.
Polite notice from the owner, please read
Please do not park to the side of the property as this will restrict access to others. We would like to ask you to only park at the front of the house.
Over occupancy and parties are strictly forbidden and breach of these terms will terminate the booking and you will be asked to leave immediately with no refund. This is a neighbourhood watch area and neighbours control monitoring very loud noise and will inform us of this.
Thank you in advance!
Please note the property is located in a rural dark village so if arriving at night, please take extra care. Once through the garden gate there is an outside light.
