We pride ourselves on the quality and location of our properties, offering our guests the perfect home-away-from-home experience in these beautiful areas of the UK.

Traditional Cotswold cottage at first glance, Bell Cottage is a treasure trove of delightful details. Its rambling layout is accented with art, antique pieces and the owner’s collection of brass bells, all adding to the charming appeal of this retreat. Set over three floors you’ll spend time chatting as the open fire roars and share meals and drinks in the secluded courtyard garden. Each bedroom is a real treat to escape to with unique touches and comfy beds. Bell Cottage is a stone’s throw from two of Charlbury’s exceptional award-winning pubs, The Bull and The Bell, giving you a choice for meals out. You can start the day with a fresh coffee and pastry from one of the cafes and meander the winding streets. Just a ten-minute walk from the station you can explore Oxford and Cheltenham, or head out in the car to Chipping Norton, Blenheim Palace and Soho Farmhouse if you are a member of this elite club. Book with us to get exclusive discounts to top attractions and experiences. Please note a 25% deposit is required at the time of booking. This is fully refundable up to 60 days of arrival when your remaining balance payment is due. Bell Cottage is one of our pet-free properties and therefore dogs and other pets are not permitted. Please note, if you would like bedroom three arranged with a double bed and two singles, please clarify this on the booking form.

Charlbury is a small but lively and vibrant market town that has escaped the hordes of Cotswold tourists, making it a justifiable member of the ‘Undiscovered Cotswold Club’, yet it is only an hour from London by train and just 15 minutes’ drive from Soho Farmhouse. The town is full of historic 17th- and 18th-century buildings, has great pubs, independent shops, a local history museum, and is in a beautiful setting on the meandering River Evenlode with fabulous walking and cycling.
