Washpool is situated in a small hamlet itself on the edge of a popular, attractive Cotswolds village Milton Under Wychwood. The property has undergone a complete modernisation and is now a sylish and beautiful cottage for four people. Situated on a small farm and opposite the village’s old wash pool, the cottage is a traditional Cotswolds’ building where many of the period features have been carefully retained. On the ground floor is an open plan kitchen diner which leads to a light, yet cosy living room (with doors to the terrace also). Upstairs are two bedrooms and two ensuite bathrooms making it ideal for two couples as we all as families. Outside is a private courtyard style garden, surrounded by a large/high stone wall and a hot tub and table and chairs. There is ample parking for up to 3 cars. The cottage is specifically in the hamlet of Upper Milton, which is about ½ mile from Milton Under Wychwood. There are miles and miles of walks from your front door, along with popular places such as Burford, Bourton on the Water and Stow on the Wold, plus Chipping Norton (all of which have excellent facilities, shops etc) all within a max 10 -15 min drive. Within walking distance in the village of Milton is one of the Cotswolds’ best pubs The Hare, along with a small coffee shop and also convenience store Co-Op.
Milton-Under-Wychwood is a village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire. The village has one pub called The Hare which is a gastropub. Wychwood public library is located in a converted shop. Local attractions are Foxholes Nature Reserve, Wychwood Wild Garden park and for those interested in outdoor activities The Wychwood Golf Club, all within a few miles of the village. For the art enthusiasts look to Tosley Museum housed in the early Tudor market building, famous for its doll’s houses and large photographic collections. Also nearby is the St Nicholas Church, which is the resting place of the designer of the Forth Rail Bridge, Sir Benjamin Baker. Little has survived of the Norman church except its ornate north doorway. Milton-Under-Wychwood is 4 miles north of Burford and 7 miles south of Chipping Norton.

Marianne
House well equipped warm and very comfortable. We stayed for three weeks awaiting a house purchase and there was everything we needed. A home from home. We especially appreciated the weekly linen change, refills of toilet rolls etc and the Nespresso machine and pods. The owners were lovely and on hand should we have needed them. Would recommend.
Amanda
Top quality comfortable beds and bedding, lots of cosy throws throughout and the whole place spotlessly clean. Generous parking and a very nice private seating area outside if it had stopped raining! A warm welcome from the owners. The cottage was convenient for visiting the many Cotswold towns and NT properties in the area. Highly recommend.
Rachel
Everything you need, with some added extras. Anne & Mike were so welcoming, they gave us a little tour of the farm and the children even got to feed the horses and pigs. They made some fabulous recommendations . We arrived to freshly made scones (clotted cream & Jam) and a few other little extras. The hot tub was a bonus. Gowns and towels are provided too. It took a little bit of warming but once ready, we all enjoyed some lovely evenings chilling. The cottage is a perfect location for exploring the Cotswolds. Just 10 mins from Burford and Chipping Norton, we also visited Stow on the Wold, Daylesfords, Broadway Tower, the Wildlife Park, Diddly Squat, Bourton on the Water, Blenheim Palace. We even went to the local park which had a very well equipped playground for all ages. We had some lovely days out and all easy to get to. We enjoyed a lovely curry at the Spice Lounge in Burford and a fantastic meal at the Hare at Milton just up the road. We would highly recommend this cottage and wouldnât hesitate to stay here again. Thanks Anne & Mike for being so welcoming. Rachel, Chris, Harriet & Henry x
