Apricot Cottage

About this property

Standing out among the endless medieval villages, churches and stately homes of the Cotswolds, Apricot Cottage is a dazzlingly beautiful home-from-home for up to 6 lucky guests, within walking distance of fine-dining and enchanting countryside!

Fusing the comfort and charm of an English Country House with the elegance and luxury of an exclusive hotel, the cottage has a log fire, four poster beds and beautifully landscaped gardens with gazebos, orchards, and an Italianate garden and terrace, alongside a pool, spa and games room!

You will be greeted by a complimentary welcome pack, offering a taste of Cotswolds luxury! All produce is sourced from local farms and businesses, apart from, of course, the fabulous Château Siaurac 2009, shipped directly from France, naturally! Alongside a little Champagne, Montagny 1er Cru, sausages, bacon and eggs, juice, preserves, homemade cakes, artisan cheese and much more!

In your charming dining- and drawing-room you will find a set of sofas in front of the open fireplace and TV and a dining table beside a beautiful antique Irish pine dresser, with a pleasing display of blue-and-white china, as well as direct access to the terrace. Our fabrics and wallpapers, ranging from luscious chenilles and velvets to shimmering silks and crisp linens and cottons, are produced by designers including Nina Campbell, Mulberry, Colefax and Fowler and Watts of Westminster! The fully-equipped kitchen, with totally modern accessories, also has a door leading to a lovely paved arbour. Under the stairs you will also find a children’s den with toys and dressing up clothes for good old-fashioned fun!

All three bedrooms can be found upstairs and feature the same deluxe-style furnishing. The master bedroom has a magnificent mahogany four-poster bed, as well as two blue velvet Victorian chairs around a small table, and an ensuite bathroom with a bathtub, power shower and a limestone topped washstand. The two twin rooms are uniquely designed: one has two black painted Victorian beds while the other has two brass beds set against a green and white Toile de Jouy wallpaper and chest of drawers. There is a second bathroom for these rooms which has a marble-topped washstand and a bathtub and power shower. Both bathrooms are warm and elegant with a big mirror, heated towel rail stocked with fluffy white towels, bathrobes and toiletries produced by The White Company.

Your private garden features a terrace with garden furniture and a barbeque for alfresco meals – the perfect spot for soaking up a little sunshine and the perfectly fresh air of the Cotswolds! On this fabulous estate you also have access to: a gym featuring a running machine, power plate, exercise balls, rowing machine, cross trainer, cables, free weights and an exercise bike; a heated pool with floats for children, loungers and a private garden with seating, and; a spa with several treatment rooms offering reflexology, massages, pedicures, manicures and facials! In the heart of the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, Apricot Cottage is spacoius and unique, attracting guests back year after year!

Enjoying the local area is a highlight of the trip for many! In the surrounding landscape you will find endless opportunities for an active day out with all the family, including: the Cotswold Wildlife Park, the Cogges Farm Museum, Birdland, the Dragonfly Maze, Blenheim Palace and the Oxford Story, to name a few, as well as two different Go Karting options within an hour.

On a sunny day you should definitely experience the fantastic scenery on a hike – be sure to take a picnic, there are endless perfect spots to sit, relax, and take in the breath-taking views across the largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the country! We can supply you with maps of great walks suitable for all ages, and we even have mountain bikes for those who prefer pedal power!

Both ‘The Wild Rabbit’ and the multi-award winning ‘The Plough’ (dog-friendly) pubs in Kingham serve excellent food, around 3 miles away, and there are many, many more just a short cycle away.
