About this cottage rental
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).

This was a beautiful spot to stay. Very peaceful but easy driving to all the villages and towns. The cottage was spotless and very comfortable. Our host Vanessa was so friendly and we loved the welcome basket of provisions. Highly recommend.

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.

6 / 10Average·Jun 2025
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.
