Tucked into the pretty Evenlode Valley, Charlbury is a thriving market town surrounded by beautiful countryside. Vine Cottage sits on Sheep Street, and as the name suggests this is where sheep were once herded through the town on their way to market. Today it’s lined with traditional townhouses and pretty cottages, giving a real sense of place.

Step inside and you’ll find a warm and inviting living room with a wood-burner effect gas fire set in the original fireplace. Thisleads to the inner hall and a beautifully fitted bathroom with a shower, and a stylish galley kitchen which is equipped with everything you need for a self-catering stay. The breakfast bar is a welcome space for meals, reading the morning papers or even catching up with work if it really can’t be left behind. Upstairs there is a spacious king-size bedroom with views over the street beyond and a delightful single.

Step through the backdoor and there is a peaceful patio with a bistro table and chairs. Relax here with your morning coffee or enjoy drinks on balmy evenings before dinner. There is off road parking for one car, or why not hop on the train and leave the car behind

Ground Floor

Living Room:
The front door opens into a charming living room, the large fireplace houses a wood burner-effect gas fire which is perfect for cosy nights in. There’s a comfy two-seater sofa and an armchair, which is set by the sash window. Pale ochre yellow walls feature classic paintings and occasional tables with side lamps add a gentle and soft light. To one side of the fireplace, there’s a Smart TV and on the other side, alcove shelves hold a selection of classic books and a pack of cards.

Shower Room:
Set off the inner hall, the beautifully appointed shower room is fully tiled with soft grey stone tiles and features an enclosed shower cubicle with a rainfall shower and a handheld shower head, there is also a toilet and a handbasin, with a well-lit mirror above it.

Kitchen:
Under the stairs is a useful storage cupboard where you’ll find pots and pans and space to store supplies you may bring with you. This is also where the kettle and toaster live. Continue into the stylish kitchen with dark blue cupboards offering a lovely contrast to the pale wooden floor and white surfaces and pretty blue and white plates hanging above the decorative tiling. With a full oven, gas hob, fridge with a freezer box, washer-dryer and even a slimline dishwasher, there is everything practical needed for a self-catering stay. You’ll find glassware on a wooden shelf (please do not put anything else on this shelf). A breakfast bar runs along one wall with two high-backed stools.

    A very charactered, clean and charming cottage in a delightful Cotswold town. Extremely well hosted. Highly recommended!

    Vine Cottage was lovely and everything we needed it to be! Juliet was an excellent host. We were there over Christmas and the heating and gas log effect wood burner were very effective in keeping the cottage snug. The parking space is very valuable in Charlbury as there are now parking restrictions for on road parking in the area of the cottage. It is very convenient for walking easily to pubs and restaurants. Although nice and snug, it is small and would not suit folk who had mobility problems (do look at the floor plans - it does show why very well) and dining could be a problem - but not in summer when the Courtyard Garden would come into its own. However, these points pale into insignificance when put into the context of the very positive other benefits of Vine Cottage. My daughter and I enjoyed our stay immensely.

    The Vine Cottage was a charming, clean, well appointed stay for us. It was a perfect destination, centrally located in Charlbury, that gave us access to all that the Cotswolds have to offer. The home was everything that was presented on the Bolthouse Retreats website. It had easy access upon arrival, utilizing an easy to use key box. A driveway car parking spot was provided for our car rental. And, there was a sweet back yard patio, with a nice table and chairs, for sipping coffee in the morning, or having afternoon tea. The bedrooms were well appointed and roomy, with very comfortable beds, clean linens, and the all important side tables, with nearby electric outlets. The living room offered a toasty, easy to use, gas fireplace, for our mid September stay. The information book detailed all of the pertinent home information, along with recommended local eating and tourist information. The house manager, Juliet was responsive, accessible, informative, in addition to being a friendly and charming local. We had an excellent stay at the Vine Cottage, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a highly satisfying stay in lovely town of Charlbury.

    Vine Cottage was very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed and Juliet was really helpful both in giving local advice and in making sure we had everything we needed e.g. providing a fan during the hot weather.

    We booked Juliets cottage already vaguely knowing Charlbury but couldn't have expected how much it would exceed our expectations. The location is perfect, a very short walk to everything you need including the pubs, deli and a little further on, the Co-Op. The house was perfect and cosy with storm Darragh blowing away. We will definitely be booking again and can't wait to return.

    Well maintained and nicely presented the cottage covers the basics very well. The stools in the kitchen are too high for the counter and hence you cannot eat there. Meaning there is no place to sit down to eat comfortably, even if its just breakfast.. Supplies in the kitchen are good but 4 tall glasses would be nice to have instead of just the short juice glasses. The shrub on the left side of the front door needs to be trimmed since the thrones on the brush kept snagging our clothes. it would be handy if the rubbish and recycling bins were labeled on the outside of the wooden storage structure. I had to open all 4 doors, (a total of 8 locks) in order to figure out what goes in which bin. Not every country recycles the same way Britain does. We separate our recycling more in Canada. At the very least, the note in the kitchen should indicate which bins are to be used for the rubbish and that plastics and paper get recycled in the same bin.

    Very cute cottage in beautiful village, extremely helpful host - we had a lovely couple of days. Beds comfortable. Small single room has slanting ceiling so quite difficult for adult to stand up in parts of it. Double room large and characterful. Shower powerful and plenty hot water. Ideal for a short stay though might need more comfortable seating in lounge for afternoons reading a book in poor weather. Lovely deli/cafe in the village, lots of cafes and pubs near and far to choose from.
