Spring Cottage

Spring Cottage is a Cotswold stone property in an idyllic and enviably quiet location on the edge of the village, with a beautiful outlook over neighbouring gardens to fields beyond.
It has many character features including exposed beams and timbers, stripped pine floors and doors, painted stone walls and an attractive fireplace. A delightful and peaceful country retreat to relax with your family.

Enjoy a lovely meal or a pint at the Lamb Inn, a local historic Cotswold pub which is just down the lane, a little gem, awarded Pub Of The Year by The Times in 2021.

We are in Shipton Under Wychwood, in West Oxfordshire, a 1.5 hour drive from London, but if you don't want to drive, there's a train every hour that connects London to Kingham, which is just 10 minutes away. 

Shipton-under-Wychwood sits in the middle of many remarkable towns of the Cotswolds such as Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold, Moreton-in-Marsh, Bourton-on-the-Water and Woodstock.
In addition to some hidden gems that you’ve probably never heard of such as Old Minster with its ancient leaning buildings, The Slaughters and The Barringtons with quaint villages and endless Cotswold fields.

Shipton-under-Wychwood itself is rich with history, and is perfectly positioned to venture to other stunning areas of the Cotswolds. A term for the area is ‘The Wychwoods’ which consists of Shipton-under-Wychwood, Milton-under-Wychwood and Ascott-under-Wychwood and vaguely includes the surrounding villages. The area was once the site of a hunting forest called the Wychwood Forest, hence the name. Here Henry VII and other Tudor monarchs would hunt for sport.
Today, Wychwood Forest is considerably smaller, but the villages in the Evenlode valley supply endless possibilities for soaking up the history and culture.
