About this property

Romantic & Secluded Cottage. Beautiful Walks & Fantastic Pub

  • Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature with leisurely strolls through picturesque landscapes, leading you to local heritage sites that whisper stories of the past. And when the day's adventures have left you longing for relaxation, indulge in a blissful evening soak in the inviting rolltop bath, relax by the wood burner or birdwatch on the outside patio.

    The cottage's prime location is a gateway to some of the UK's most renowned heritage attractions, such as White Horse Hill, Wayland's Smithy, Stonehenge and the Roman Baths in Bath. The Cotswolds, the majestic city of Oxford and more are all within easy reach, beckoning you to embark on unforgettable journeys through history and culture.

    Churchyard Cottage offers privacy and seclusion, ideal for creating cherished moments on a romantic getaway. Surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the countryside, you'll find yourself perfectly cocooned, while the village of Ashbury provides convenient amenities just moments away.

    Nestled on a serene street next to St Mary the Virgin Church in the charming village of Ashbury, Churchyard Cottage offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of city life. As part of traditional village life, you may occasionally hear the soft, dull sound of the church bells. If you are particularly sensitive to countryside sounds such as bells or birdsong, we recommend bringing earplugs for extra reassurance.

    The Rose & Crown Pub, just a short walk away, serves great food with a buzzing atmosphere.

    We highly recommend having a car during your stay, as Churchyard Cottage finds itself nestled in the heart of rural bliss.

Great little Cottage

This is a lovely cottage, perfect for two people and a romantic getaway. The decor is lovely and the location perfect. The pub in the village is lovely and does great food. Perfect for walking along the Ridgeway which is just at the top of the hill. Perfect!

Lovely stay in Ashbury

What a lovely cottage just up the road from the Rose and Crown pub. The cottage was spotless, had everything we needed and was very peaceful with a delightful small front garden in front of the church. Our two dogs enjoyed the walk up past the church and onto the Ridgeway and we would recommend the Rose & Crown, White Horse and the Royal Oak. Would highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing stay.

Really enjoyable stay

Loved the cottage and the surrounding area. Had great communication and check in and out was effortless. It was nice for a change not to have a yellow pages size book of rules to follow unlike some places and as always treated a property with duty and care. A simple check out truly made it a good way to end our mini break. Than you for having us. We have already recommended to friends !us

Cosy Cottage

Lovely hot water, great location, thoroughly enjoyed our stay with great bath and shower. Had a few issues with the key safe and front door lock. The woodburner needs some heatproof gauntlets for safety as hubbie got a nasty burn (Screwfix welding gloves would be perfect).

Fantastic Find!!!

We have just got home from our 3 night break at Church Cottage...Wow what a beautiful cottage, we could not fault it. The cottage was spotless and attention to detail including the Christmas decorations made our stay even more special. The Rose and Crown pub is definitely worth a visit!! The only downfall was the weather and being so wet restricted where we could walk so we will definitely back in the summer. We have stayed in many cottages with our dog and can honestly say Church Cottage is one of the best we have stayed at, so we will be looking forward to our next visit. Russ Marnie & Ernie

Fabulous property, minutes from Ridgeway and fabulous walks. Decent pub with food at the bottom of the lane. We accidentally locked ourselves out on our first night, keys arrived within minutes, nothing was a problem even though it was 9pm. Very kind generous hosts, highly recommended.

This host has a commitment to quality in every detail about this lodging. If you could give 10 stars instead of only 5, i would surely give that rating. Very impressed!!! Just sad that we could only stay two nights.
