Snaptrip says

Fairview Cottage in Milton under Wychwood is a well-appointed property with beautiful country views, spacious rooms, and a well-equipped kitchen. Guests have enjoyed the local amenities, including a friendly village pub and convenient shops. The garden and the views it offers are frequently praised, and the property's location is ideal for exploring the Cotswolds. Some guests experienced issues with housekeeping and heating, but these do not overshadow the overall positive experiences.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Most guests found the cottage to be clean and well-maintained, with crisp white bedding and towels. However, there were isolated reports of housekeeping oversights, such as missing towels and bins not being emptied, which slightly affected the overall impression.

The cottage's location is highly praised for its beautiful views, peaceful setting, and proximity to local amenities and attractions in the Cotswolds. It serves as an excellent base for touring the area.

Guests generally found the cottage comfortable, with en-suite bedrooms and a spacious living area. Some guests mentioned that certain sofas were not the most comfortable and that the heating system was complex, affecting the comfort level.

The property is well-equipped with high-quality appliances and offers generous space. However, there were comments about the lack of certain items like a vacuum cleaner, and some guests had issues with the heating and hot water settings.

While guests appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and the overall amenities, there were no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owners. Therefore, a score cannot be provided for this category.

About this property

Please note: The first floor kingsize double with ensuite also contains two single beds, with the area being seperated by a curtain. Fairview provides a warm and high quality base from which to explore the Cotswolds. Situated in the heart of the Cotswolds, approximately 12 mins from Burford, Stow on the Wold and Chipping Norton, this delightful holiday cottage offers an excellent standard of self catering accommodation. The property sits on the edge of the village and overlooks fields to the rear and enjoys a good size garden for outdoor entertaining. There are three large bedrooms, (with a further fourth off one bedroom) plus three ensuite bathrooms. There is newly re-opened pub in the village The Hare in Milton (glowingly reviewed by Giles Coren in The Times Magazine), and other pubs nearby, walks from your front door PLUS the Daylesford Organic Farmshop nearby, this is an excellent holiday cottage option.

Burford is possibly one of, if not THE most famous of the Cotswolds' locations. With its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, Burford is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. Often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds', the town was originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon ford which later grew to be an important regional crossroads and wealthy wool town. Located mid way between Oxford and Cheltenham (25 mins each away) it is a little haven of history and beauty that many come to fall in love with when they visit.

The 16th century Tolsey building, once the meeting place for medieval merchants, now houses The Tolsey Museum, a delightful local museum illustrating the town's social and industrial past. The church is stunning, a real gem architecturally with many interesting memorials charting some of Burford's great families. There is also the signature, on the baptisimal font, of Antony Sedley, one of the Levellers besieged in the church in 1649 - three of the ringleaders were executed by Oliver Cromwell's men in the churchyard. History awaits!

With little changing over the centuries, Burford is now very popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for its shopping and antiques, and for the wide variety of places to eat, with restaurants, pubs and teashops. It is an ideal base for visiting The Cotswolds area as it is within easy driving distance of popular attractions such as Blenheim Palace, Sudley Castle, Warwick Castle and several National Trust Houses and Gardens. Bourton on the Water, Bibury, Cirencester and Stow on the Wold are all with 25 minutes from the property.

  • Susan

    We had a fantastic time and would thoroughly recommend the property. Lovely pub in the village a few minutes walk away. As the property is not listed as adults-only would recommend the owner considers providing stair gates as two of the children were toddlers - we had to bring two gates from home. There were some minor niggles that did not spoil our stay and these will be fed back separately.

  • Christine

    The property is on the Hight Street but set back and quiet. The back looks out onto open countryside, with accesss through a gate to a green path to a country bridle path. Perfect and peaceful.

  • Gillian

    Very spacious and comfortable with each family having their own facilities. Situated in a lovely area where we were able to wander to the local pub for a fabulous Sunday Lunch
