Banbury Hill Farmhouse, Charlbury - sleeps 14 guests in 7 bedrooms | Cottage in Charlbury
7 Bedroom Cottage in Chipping Norton, Charlbury
A short distance outside Charlbury, Banbury Hill Farmhouse is set among similar farm buildings alongside the lovely Cotswold View Caravan & Camping Park. With its own gravelled drive and parking area, the cottage sits at one side of the lawned garden and patio. A number of walking routes lead from the cottage and it is an easy distance from Chipping Norton and other charming villages.
The farmhouse has been beautifully decorated throughout with all the features you would expect in a relaxing home from home. A well-equipped kitchen provides space for children to eat in the adjoining breakfast bar area and the stunning dining room with open stonework is a wonderful space for the whole group to spend time together. A sitting room with a woodburner and sink-in sofas give room to relax and put your feet up at the end of the day. The central foyer and grand staircase take you to the first and second floors with seven bedrooms, many with unique en-suites. There will be no fighting over the best room as each is equally stylish.
Patio doors open from the dining room to the paved patio looking out over the Cotswold hills and rolling farmland. The garden has a lawned area and is fenced with gated access allowing the children to play safely. You can dine outside on fine evenings and light the firepit to keep the cold at bay. Beyond the garden, well-signed trails take you around the surrounding farmland where you can find sheep and donkeys.
