Orchard Cottage

About this property

Orchard Cottage is a characterful holiday home lying in the centre of Hook Norton in Oxfordshire. The cottage is bright and airy thanks to the natural light that seeps in and is bursting with charm and character with exposed Cotswold stone walls, beams and stunning flagstone flooring. Take a step up to find the well-appointed and beautifully decorated kitchen which houses a breakfast bar. Gather the family for delicious meals in the living/dining room and tuck in while the open fire warms the room creating a homely ambience. The first floor hosts a double and a twin room furnished with elegant touches. On warm evening delight in evening drinks or an alfresco affair in the property's tiered, front garden. The garden table and chairs with a parasol and barbecue on the patio are bordered by mature shrubs and beautiful flower beds; an idyllic place to relax in the evening. A variety of pubs, shops and stunning walks through the countryside can be found from the doorstep at Orchard Cottage!
