About this property

Betty's Cottage - near Burford

Betty's Cottage is a quaint Cotswold stone cottage with a traditional thatched roof, set in the quiet village of Taynton. This peaceful location is centrally located to see a wide range of what the Cotswolds has to offer.

The cottage is split across the original building and a modern extension to the rear. This combination results in a cottage full of character and intrigue. You enter into the living room with its warming woodburner and showcase of original features which includes old wooden beams, open stone walls and flagstone flooring. You will be delighted by the glass walkway through to the kitchen/diner which is a light and airy room. Open the sliding doors to bring the outdoors in and enjoy meals together at the dining table or in the garden. With a shower room and bedroom on the ground floor, and two further bedrooms on the first floor, Betty's Cottage will suit groups of friends or families looking to explore this area.

The rear garden is a hidden haven with a lawn and set of table and chairs so you can take meals out or enjoy evening drinks together. Enjoy the peace of mind knowing the garden is fully enclosed so the dogs and children can play safely. You will find on-street parking on the main street and there is also a small space on the private driveway.

*Dogs: 2 well-behaved dogs welcome at the cottage at an additional cost each. Please let us know if you will be bringing a dog and we will then revise your booking confirmation. The pet fee is NOT included in your booking fee. A request for an additional fee per pet will be sent to you after you have placed your booking. Your pet fee must be paid for before your arrival date.

Ground Floor

Living Room:
You can see a lot of the history of Betty's Cottage in the living room. With open beams and leaded windows, the change in flooring shows where the cottage was once divided into two separate properties. There is a sofa and armchair providing seating for four in front of the woodburner and there is a TV here to keep you entertained on evenings in.

Bedroom Three:
This ground-floor bedroom has a double bed accessed from one side. Set away from the other bedrooms it provides more privacy and it is a cosy space to rest at the end of the day. There is the added benefit of a sink in this room.

Shower Room:
The shower room makes clever use of space with a sliding door and compact sink. There is a shower and WC.

Kitchen/Diner:
This bright and spacious room was a modern addition to Betty's Cottage. An expanse of glass lets in the light, and you can open the doors to extend this space into the garden. A dining table seats six and the kitchen includes all the appliances you will need to cook delicious family meals.

Utility:
Hidden in the utility is the tumble dryer and you will also find some children's toys and games to keep little ones entertained.

First Floor

Bedroom One:
At the front of the cottage, bedroom one has a king-size bed and looks out across the quiet main street. Bedside lights and wall lamps provide soft lighting and there is a useful shelf above the bed to store your luggage out of the way.

Bathroom:
The family bathroom has a bath with a shower over, WC and sink. Shared between the two first-floor bedrooms it is perfect for a relaxing evening soak or a quick morning shower before heading out for a walk.

Bedroom Three:
The final bedroom has twin beds set before the feature wall which has a network of open beams. This room has a high ceiling and is a charming room with plenty of storage space.

Outside

The garden is a lovely space to spend time in the sunny months and take meals outside. There is a wooden deck with a table and chairs seating six nestled in a sheltered corner. The garden stretches before you with a lawn perfect for playing with the children and dogs. There is on-street parking available outside the cottage and a small driveway will fit one compact car.

Quiet and peaceful getaway
I booked this lovely cottage for a small family get together and not knowing the area well , took a chance on the location and whilst the cottage is in a rural location (no shops/pubs) the nearest town Burford had all we needed. The cottage is well equipped but bring basics like tea, coffee milk etc and if u want to light the fire you will need to locate fire logs, none provided for us. There is enough cutlery and cups etc for 6 , the garden is lovely and private. There is one double room downstairs and 2 up a steep stairs(beware coming down as low ceiling u will bump your head if not paying attention!!) The Cotswolds is a lovely place to visit, the very wet season means there is a fair bit of flooding about , we enjoyed our visit and will be back.
