Overview

Banksia Cottage is a Cotswold stone retreat in the small hamlet of Cleveley, just outside Chipping Norton (OX7). Full of character, with an exposed stone fireplace and wood-burning stove, it’s a quietly comfortable base for couples, friends or a small family, with room for up to four guests.

The cottage combines period detail with modern finishes, a well-equipped kitchen and a private garden for warm-weather mornings and slower afternoons. Dogs are welcome, and countryside walks begin close by. Chipping Norton is a short drive for shops, pubs and supper, and Soho Farmhouse sits within easy reach (access subject to membership or guest arrangements).

Please note: the garden is not enclosed, so children and dogs should be supervised outdoors.
