This wonderfully presented period cottage retaining many original features is an ideal base for a family or couples to relax and unwind in the heart of the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside.

Located in the village of Hailey towards the southern edge of the ancient Wychwood Forest, you benefit from having a pub under 0.25 miles. Witney is just 2 miles away and offers an array of shops, pubs, restaurants along with a weekly market. Just a few miles further there are yet more shops and eateries to explore in the bustling village of Bampton, which was the film set for Downton Abbey. Walkers and cyclists are spoilt for choice with footpaths and cycleways on the doorstep leading along open fields to picturesque Cotswold villages and historic coaching inns. Just 14 miles away is the beautiful university city of Oxford nicknamed ‘City of Dreaming Spires’ . It's not only great for a spot of retail therapy and a whole host of dining out options, but you can also stroll through the city and marvel at the beautiful architecture of this world-famous city.

On arrival, you can access the property via the garden gate, where you'll head through the garden to the back door. Upon entering, you arrive in the open-plan kitchen/diner. The kitchen is certainly a home away from home and gives the chef of the group everything they need to prepare a nice meal including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine and a dishwasher. Once your meal or a light snack is prepared, there is seating for six people around the dining table. Heading through to the lounge, there's a comfortable three-seater sofa and two armchairs that surround the wood burner and bread oven, which bring warmth and character to the cottage. Fire up the wood burner, cosy up with loved ones and watch or stream your favourite shows on the Smart TV. Heading up the steep staircase to the first floor, there is a choice of two bedrooms. The first is a double room with bedside tables for personal storage and the master bedroom which has a king-size bed, a built-in wardrobe and a bedside table. Why not jump straight out of bed to revitalise in the en-suite shower room with WC. The main bathroom has a shower over the bath and WC. The characterful yet steep staircase leads to the second floor which retains its original features including the low beams and sloping ceilings. This room has a double bed with a bedside table for personal storage.

Outside there is an enclosed lawn and patio garden area with ample seating, so why not prepare some cocktails and some food and enjoy al fresco dining while the sun goes down. You have convenient access to the two dedicated off-road parking spaces, one behind the other, on the right-hand side of the carport. This is accessible via the side avenue.

Cottage good location to drive to various villages. Plenty of woods to walk dog nearby. Bread, milk, eggs & butter supplied on arrival - nice touch although we had already taken our own. Three bedrooms, but only one wardrobe. Overall cottage was clean, but ensuite needs an extra thorough clean to sort out black mould around floor tiles. Kitchen looRead moreked fully equipped although we didnt cook during our stay. Pub walkable with good reasonably priced food. Good size garden & parking off road. Hide

Lovely cottage, comfy lounge with huge focal point fireplace. Great kitchen diner for eating and playing card games! Beautiful windows and shutters. Short people and kids will be fine.

A hideaway in a small village in the Oxfordshire countryside. Seating for maximum of five adults in lounge area. Is not (young) child friendly due to steep and winding staircase and the fact that there is no door on the top bedroom which leads directly on to the stairs!! The main road is unlit at night and the narrow footpath leading to the pub is Read moredirectly alongside the main road. Access to the property is not obvious and could be a problem at nighttime as the main road is directly outside. Hide

We loved Hailey Cottage and would definitely go back. We love cottages with character and soon got used to the wonderful stairs. The garden was lovely - would be great in the summer. Lots to do in the area and easy to get to Oxford.
