About this property

Bay Tree Cottage, Shipton-under-Wychwood, Burford.

  • Bay Tree Cottage is the perfect romantic bolthole. Tucked away in an elevated position on the edge of this very pretty village with a choice of excellent pubs and restaurants within easy strolling distance. This delightful cottage combines olde worlde cottage charm with comfort and romance, with the bonus of an enviable location for exploring with or without a car.

    Packed with period features; flagstone floors, original beams and a generous stone fireplace complete with a wood burning stove, Bay Tree Cottage has been restored with love and attention to detail. Upstairs the pretty bedroom is cosy and welcoming, and leads to the bathroom with a bath and overhead shower. Outside, Cotswold stone steps lead up to the front of the cottage where you'll find a country cottage garden and garden furniture.

    A short stroll along the lane leads to the beautiful pastoral views seen in the photo gallery, and a short walk into the village takes you along a tree-lined lane leading to the village's stunning Wychwood Wild Garden with over 12 acres of woodland, gardens and ponds - quintessential Cotswold countryside and absolutely charming. Four legged friends are welcome too, and when it comes to walking routes, you'll be spoilt for choice.

    Bay Tree Cottage is just a 10 minute drive from the popular market town of Chipping Norton and the pretty village of Kingham. Picturesque Stow-on-the-Wold with its wealth of antique shops and tearooms is just 20 minutes drive away. Shipton-under-Wychwood is a perfect base for those who would like a taste of village life. With a short walk you can pick up your morning paper, whilst the two village pubs, The Wychwood Inn, and The Lamb Inn offer a choice of local ales and delicious food.


    Additional Information
    PARKING - Please note there is parking round the corner from Bay Tree down a quiet lane called Swinbrook Lane.
    PLEASE NOTE that the stairs are characteristic of a period cottage and are therefore a little steep but do have a handrail. As such the cottage may not be suitable for anyone with limited mobility.
    This property is suitable for two guests only.
    Two small well behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).

Lovely cottage in great location

Bay Tree Cottage is a lovey little cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Good location for exploring the Cotswolds. Situated in a lovely village with a good choice of places to eat and drink…or indeed the kitchen is well enough equipped to cook in. The owner Vanessa is very helpful in understanding the local area and making sure everything is as you need in the cottage. Would happily stay again.

3 day stay

Perfect 3 nights stay. Lovely cottage, and nice to meet Vanessa the host. Stairs took a bit of getting used to as very steep but that’s to be expected in old cottage. Charming place and village and 4 pubs in walking distance. Peaceful. Very clean and loved the mini food hamper for our stay and dog treats for Ralph our fox terrier.

Lovely Cottage, Great Location

Bay Tree Cottage is a lovely cottage and Shipton-Under-Wychwood a great village as a base for a break in the Cotswolds. The Cottage is really comfortable for two and well equipped. Parking around the corner no problem at all. Our Host provided loads of information before we travelled and met us just after we arrived which was great, and had also left a welcome hamper with bread, wine and Hot Cross Buns. Thoroughly Recommended !!

Bay Tree Stay

Bed really uncomfortable, found a woodlouse in the bed too. Electric shower in the property but the water pressure was poor. Location was good though and the property was pretty. The owner left us a basket of goodies which was nice.

A touch of brigette jones

The warmest of welcomes from our host with lots of handy local advice.cottage is beautifully furnished and having a cooks cupboard of staples was very handy.the log fire was a bonus and with temperatures going to -5 was really needed for a cosy experience. The cottage is tiny,and for a short break ideal but for us with heaps of stuff storage wa tight,but that's really our issue!!parking around the corner wasn't the greatest but in these tiny villages inevitable.local pubs were fab and we loved the village was perfectly located for our day excursions.tgankyou for a lovely stay

Our stay at Baytree Cottage

A well equipped quaint cottage situated in a pretty quiet village with a pleasant walk to The Wychwood pub and the Lamb Inn. Stow on the Wold and Bourton on the Water were only a few miles away by car and Shipton upon Wychwood was an ideal location. The bed was sooooo comfortable and we would awake to the sound of horses clip clopping from the stables opposite out on their mornings exercise. It was lovely to meet the owner of the cottage and there was a small hamper of goodies and a chocolate orange left on the bed to welcome us. The cottage was clean and there are lovely walks to be had. We returned from our short break fully refreshed and relaxed after our stay in this beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings. What a way to recharge those batteries.

Idyllic stay in the Cotswolds

The cottage is cosy and beautifully done out to make a perfect, idyllic stay. Perfect retreat for a romantic get away. Vanessa, the owner, was very welcoming and had provided a number of treats and provisions for our arrival. Excellent location, close to beautiful towns perfect for exploring. Everywhere seemed to be dog friendly, making our stay extra special.

A first visit to the Cotswolds

A delightful little cottage set in an area of outstanding beauty. We could not fault the facilities, Vanessa greeted us and supplied a lovely basket of goodies for both ourselves and our dog. Lots of walks and local eateries to sample and very well placed for trips to local beauty spots and villages. We had not expected the road to be quite so busy but we really enjoyed our week and the weather was perfect. Certainly we would return.

Rural retreat

Historic terraced cottage in Shipton under Wychwood, a delightful Cotswold village near Burford and Chipping Norton. Well placed for visiting many local attractions. Cottage was accessed via several steps from the road. No off-road parking so parked on narrow lane in front, as I was told by neighbours not to park in front of their properties just round the corner. Cottage was in a satisfactory condition but fell short of the standards I'm used to at HPB properties. The use of one bar of opened soap in the bathroom was inadequate. I am used to emptying trash/recycling into bins but didn't expect to have to manhandle the rubbish bin down the steps to the road for collection by refuse operatives. Overall, my stay was disappointing. The interior of the cottage isn't maintained to a high standard and doesn't represent value for money. It's a shame as the location is superb.

What a charming home base to visit the Cotwolds. Some of the suggestions about the pubs could be in the description. The Flour cafe was a great place to start our day, I left a brand new green sweater there. Would it be possible to mail it to me at:Jonathan Dunn59 Ripley St.Newton Centre, MA02459I will pay for the postage if you will send me your address. I will mail that postage to you so you can ship it. N0 need t do anything until you get the postage from me...

Séjour parfait

Accueil sympatique et chaleureux de Vanessa. Nous avons passé une semaine parfaite dans le joli et cosy Bay tree cottage. Une jolie décoration, une cuisine bien équipée et avec des provisions fourni par Vanessa, tout était très propre et soigné.Nous avons bien profité du jardin grâce au beau temps. Vanessa nous a offert un panier rempli de produits pour le petit déjeuner, du vin, du lait etc. Le cottage est très bien situé pour visiter les Cotswolds et Oxford.Je recommande.
