About this cottage rental

Lying in a quiet setting just a mile from Charlbury, The Fold offers the best of both worlds. A place to stay surrounded by countryside, with glimpses of the valley beyond, the acid yellow fields and the air filled with birdsong, yet with myriad attractions close by. Inside you'll find vaulted ceilings and pale walls, all adding to the feeling of calm with vibrant pops of colour from modern art and pretty textiles. The sunny terrace tucked away at the back of The Fold is a place to linger over your morning coffee as you ease into the day with the sounds of the wind in the trees as your backdrop. It's also a lovely spot for alfresco dining.

The Fold is on one level with an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. To one end, the well-appointed kitchen features everything you need for a self-catering stay, whilst the reverse of the kitchen island doubles as bench seating for the dining area. The other end is given over to the cosy living area with a plump sofa, comfy wingback chair and a Smart TV. Beyond are two pretty bedrooms, one king size and one twin and the bathroom.

A gravel path leads around The Fold from the front door to the rear where against a backdrop of the neighbouring woodland, you'll find a private terrace with rustic outdoor furniture. A wooden table and chairs offer a spot for outside dining and drinks, and the potted olive trees add a hint of the Mediterranean. It's a very peaceful place to sit and relax. To the front of The Fold is parking for 1-2 cars.

Ground Floor

The front door leads into the open-plan living space. To the right is the kitchen and behind the pale grey cupboards you'll find a dishwasher, fridge-freezer as well as an electric oven and induction hob. There is plenty of storage along with a Nespresso coffee machine and a toaster.

Dining:
Clever use of the kitchen island ensures there is ample seating for four guests. The reverse doubles as bench seating, there are then two further chairs to the other side of the table and a statement pendant light fitting above.

Living:
A plump stripy sofa sits against one wall along with a blue velvet wingback chair. The rustic wooden table is ideal for board and card games, whilst the large Smart TV ensures entertainment for all.

Bedroom One:
This king-size bedroom is beautifully finished with botanical print bedding, statement lighting and an olive-green armchair, creating a delightful reading nook. The overhead angle-poise lamp ensures no eye strain. Storage comes in the form of a large chest of drawers, topped by a large mirror and wall hooks with padded hangers.

Bathroom:
Under the window is a bath with a mixer, and handheld shower, there is also a WC and a handbasin with a mirror and a shaver point. A sheepskin rug keeps toes toasty.

Bedroom Two:
Bedroom two is a pretty twin room with matching single beds, each topped with an olive-green headboard. Bedside tables are topped with beautiful lamps and there is plenty of light from the window, and the door, which leads directly onto the terrace. Botanical bedding adds colour and there is room to unpack with a large chest of drawers.

Outside

Behind The Fold is a private terrace with a table and chairs to seat four. There is an adjacent woodland and a path through the owner's field to the public footpath beyond. Guests have access to parking for 1-2 cars.

    The Fold was a beautiful cottage set in lovely surroundings . Close to Charlbury and its shops and pubs . The Fold was nice and private away from the main farmhouse . Easy to access and find and very well furnished and comfortable . Would highly recommend . Wish we could have stayed longer . Thank you .

    We liked the location and the cleanliness of the property and were very comfortable. We did not recieve a welcome basket which we have at other Bolthole properties. They left shampoo and conditioner but conditioner was empty and they had a small bit of body soap but it was in the kitchen. A light bulb was out in the bedroom. In spite of that, we thouroughly enjoyed our stay but a little attention to detail would have made it more inviting.

    What a peaceful and idyllic setting. Everything was thought through and every detail thought about. Beautiful flowers from the flower farm in the fields opposite. Perfect.

    Very nice cottage. It was a great location to enjoy some easy walks on the countryside or take the car and visit some of the nice villages in Coltswold.

    Our daughter and family stayed at the Fold whilst visiting Charlbury. The Fold is in an Ideal location, close to the town in a rural setting. The young boys loved the wooded area around the house and spent hours playing in the trees. The house was compact and very well fitted out. The family would definitely stay again.
