From the owner

Sweetheart Cottage is romantic, and full of character. Set in a quiet hillside lane where flowers tumble over walls in the peaceful and picturesque Oxfordshire village of Swalcliffe, access is gained by a short set of stairs from the front door at road level or through a cobbled passageway to the side of the property leading to a pretty garden with shallow stream. Two patios provide 'al fresco' dining space and a herb garden provides fresh flavour for your holiday recipes!

Sweetheart Cottage is in the perfect location for walkers, cyclists and families to enjoy countryside pursuits or to simply sit and relax in ambient surroundings. It is is just a few metres walk from the local pub, the church, and a magnificent Tithe Barn. Footpaths leading from the village, pass through gently rolling hills and beautiful byways. The cottage is an ideal base from which to explore the beautiful Cotswolds: within easy reach are the market towns of Shipston-on-Stour, Chipping Norton and Banbury, all only 10 minutes drive away. ‘Shakespeare’s Stratford’, is just a 15 minute drive. It is also possible to explore southern Warwickshire and Northamptonshire with ease. A little further afield but still within easy reach can be found the ‘dreaming spires’ of Oxford, racing at Silverstone, designer shopping at Bicester, a delightful small theatre at Chipping Norton, Blenheim Palace at Woodstock, and historic Warwick Castle. Swalcliffe village is in an ideal location for visiting many National Trust properties, such as Charlecote Park or Farnborough Hall. Nearby villages are brought to life with country pubs and restaurants. Other local points of interest include stone circles, civil war battle fields, potteries and breweries.

We believe in fair pricing. We do not increase prices for regional events or at 'peak' times and no supplements are requested for winter fuel.

We believe in comfort and relaxation! All bed linen is hypo-allergenic or anti-allergenic for added peace of mind.

Response from the owner

We thank our visitors for taking the time to write a review and for the positive comments about the cottage. We understand that honest reviews are very helpful to travellers and so we feel we must correct the above or travellers will be misinformed. An error was certainly made with regard to our guests miscalculating; they thought they had booked four nights when, in fact, they had booked only three. We spent a whole day attempting to make contact with our guests on the appointed check-out day but to no avail. It was fortunate that, by chance, the next guests were unable to arrive until the following morning. The late checkout (a self-imposed rush to pack) and the pre-planned early arrival meant that we had to work through the night to ensure that the cottage was fully prepared. We advise travellers to check their dates carefully so as not to be in breach of the Booking Conditions and other provided information which set out, quite clearly, the check-in and checkout times. The information manual in the cottage also sets out, clearly, that the cottage provides an historical access route to a neighbouring cottage. We must point out that workmen are not permanent fixtures and their work just happened to coincide with the above booking. This, of course, is beyond our own control. We always advise travellers to read the information manual upon arrival to benefit from the useful information within and to make the best of their stay. We look forward to welcoming travellers who abide by the Booking Conditions and who are looking for a holiday experience provided by principled owners.

An accolade indeed! We are delighted to be considered 'the best'. Thank you. As discerning travellers ourselves we try to provide what we, ourselves, would like to see in a holiday let and to treat our guests as we would wish to be treated. A little thought can go a long way.
