About this property

A Pretty Cottage in a Small Village Near Oxford and the Cotswolds

Green Cottage is a self-contained cottage at the end of a quiet lane which stops at a field gate. It has been converted from a small barn in the large walled garden of the owners' house, itself a pretty eighteenth-century Cotswold stone building. The cottage is private and cannot be seen from the main house. You can park your car next to the cottage. Green Cottage provides self-catering accommodation all on one floor for up to four people. Children are very welcome. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped, and our guests often comment on its restful and home-like atmosphere. We would add, that, while we have always taken great care over cleanliness, we have now in these anxious times upgraded our whole cleaning regime so as to include disinfection as far as is practicable.

As you can see from the floor plan and photographs, a spacious conservatory opens into a large, light living room. Next to this is a fully fitted kitchen with dining area. Then there is a hall, which leads to a bathroom and two bedrooms. The main bedroom has a double bed (150x200cm), and the second has two single beds (each 90x190cm). The bathroom has a bath with wall-mounted shower. No pets and no smoking. Facilities includes linen, towels and duvets, wireless high-speed broadband internet connection, flat screen digital television and DVD player, radio/CD player, cooker and microwave, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier, baby's cot and high chair, central heating, a wood-burning stove (an initial quantity of logs supplied), parking next to cottage, and a secluded garden area with table and chairs.

Self-catering accommodation, sleeps 4, all on one floor in an attractive walled garden.

A lovely comfortable house in a lovely tranquil area
This is a lovely character house that is equipped with everything one would need for a holiday. The location is second to none, close to the River Thames and interesting beautiful villages. Oxford is a short drive away with a number of 'park and ride' locations not too far from the house.

Perfect home from home!
I had a wonderful time here. The property is as it appears in the profile and everything works. The cottage is very comfortable, clean and spacious with plenty of light, whilst being private. Julie and Peri are extremely welcoming and go to every effort to ensure you have a good stay at their property. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you!

Comfortable cottage
Vey comfortable and well-equipped cottage at a good location for exploring the Oxford area and the Cotswolds. Also lots of local walks, although a word of warning for any older people with dodgy knees (like me) there are lots of stiles - some easier to negotiate than others. The supply of books in the cottage covers a wide range, which is relatively unusual. Overall an excellent break for us (couple in mid-seventies).

Little gem
Easy search on internet for properties to let in vicinity of Wantage where our son lives. Can't recommend highly enough. Can also recommend Witney's free car parking and the S1 bus service from Eysham to Oxford.

About the host

Hosted by Julie and Peri Hankey

Host profile image
We have lived in Northmoor for more than 33 years. Nearly 20 years ago we converted what used to be an old barn and stables in our garden to create Green Cottage as a self-contained annex. Originally it was intended for Julie's mother, and this perhaps accounts for a great deal of its special and welcoming character.

Why they chose this property

We moved here because Northmoor is very rural - we can walk for miles straight from the house, without having to drive. At the same time we are close to Oxford and several other small towns. For more ambitious outings, we are within range of London, the sea (Lulworth in Dorset is a favourite spot) and the Welsh borders.

What makes this property unique

Guests will notice the quietness, especially the absence of traffic. Also everything is within walking distance - the pub, our beautiful 14th-century church, and the village hall, where there is a monthly village market with local produce and also a children's playground.
