The Cotswolds is an area of outstanding natural beauty, famous for its distinctive landscape of gentle hills, hidden river valleys, and its delightful market towns and villages made of golden-coloured Cotswold stone. All these make a Cotswold cottage holiday let a favourite with visitors from the UK and abroad.

The Cotswolds offer wonderful gardens and manor houses to visit, many sporting and arts festivals, historic and friendly country pubs for lunch, antique shops to visit and plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling, riding and other outdoor activities. This area is a delightful holiday retreat at all times of year, not just the summer. The winter offers the pleasures of pub and restaurant meals in front of blazing log fires, in spring there are bluebells and spring lambs, and in autumn the colours are stunning.

Visitors who wish to explore this beautiful area may choose to stay in a self-catering holiday cottage in a Cotswold village and none is a better choice than Woodstock, known as 'the gateway to the Cotswolds' and the location of UNESCO World Heritage Site Blenheim Palace. Bowley House, our serviced, self-catering cottage in Woodstock, offers visitors easy access to the rest of the Cotswolds to the north, and to the city of Oxford to the south. Located in the centre of Woodstock, all the facilities of this delightful village, as well as Blenheim Park and Palace, are within a level walk.

Alternatively, Weekly Home's serviced self-catering apartments in Oxford itself are an excellent base for day trips to this glorious area, with our selection of North Oxford and Summertown apartments offering the best access to this area of Oxfordshire.
