Location

The neighbourhood

The cottage is located in the pretty village of Kingham with an abundance of countryside walks, local pubs and restaurants, including The Kingham Plough, The Wild Rabbit, The Chequers in Churchill and The Hare in Milton-under-Wychwood.

The local area, and the Cotswolds in general, is a dream for walkers and the beautiful Evenlode Valley is a great place to start enjoying the countryside. If you’d prefer to explore the area on two wheels, Cotswold Electric Bike Tours offers a guided e-bike tour of the Cotswolds, conveniently starting from the cottage door.
Meanwhile, many pretty towns and villages of the North Cotswolds, including Moreton-in-Marsh and Bourton-on-the-Water are within easy reach.
