Green Cottage, Northmoor

Green Cottage is set back from the village, at the end of a quiet lane which gives onto fields. It has recently been converted from a small barn within the large walled garden of the main house - itself a pretty eighteenth-century Cotswold stone building. Parking space is available next to the cottage.

Green Cottage provides self-catering accommodation all on one floor. It sleeps three to four. At a small extra charge there is a futon for a fifth person if required. It has been furnished and decorated to the highest standard, retaining some of the features from the old barn. No pets and no smoking.

A comfortable conservatory with futon opens into a large, light living room. Next to this is a fully fitted kitchen/dining area. Beyond the hall, there are two bedrooms: one double, and one single with a truckle bed for an extra person. The bathroom has a wall-mounted shower attachment within the bath.

Northmoor and surrounding area

Northmoor is a small, friendly village, with a 13th century church, set among fields in a part of the Upper Thames valley which has been designated an Environmentally Sensitive Conservation Area.

There is a pub in the village which serves good food, three minutes walk away from the cottage. The nearest shop and Post Office are two miles away, and there are a variety of pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area. There is a bus service from Northmoor, but a car is strongly recommended.
