Walnut Cottage - Self-catering in Oxfordshire
Bampton, OX18 2HF, Oxfordshire
England,
Regno Unito
Park your car on the grass verge, cross the road and follow the stream through a gate into a well-established garden with shrubs, roses, perennials and much birdsong. There's lots of room out here to sit, eat, chat, sunbathe or find a quiet spot. Inside is peaceful with an unstuffy feel. If it's bucketing down then come together in the sitting room, light the fire, scour the many bookshelves or escape to the music room (for a tinkle on the piano) or the study. Find soft colours, pretty curtains, lamps and rugs.
Keen friends can work together in the cooks' kitchen with a four-oven Aga, plenty of kit and Emma Bridgewater china. A breakfast basket of bread, cheese, eggs, crackers, jam and juice will be waiting for you. Upstairs find well-dressed beds with deep mattresses - the master spans the width of the house and overlooks the lawn. A beamed family bathroom has a proper bath, pictures and scented candles.
Sleep well in this utterly tranquil spot.

Local points of interest from Charlotte Lipsius:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Charlotte Lipsius:
- The village green/ church of Bampton (St Mary's) is where all the Downton Abbey village scenes were filmed, the church is a 5 min walk from the house and has gorgeous grounds to explore.
- The Double Red Duke is my favourite foodie pub ever, the head chef is Richard Turner who left The Hawksmoor in London to set up here. The food is amazing, anything from oysters, to squid, to Sunday roasts. They also make amazing cocktails/mocktails.
- Blenheim Palace is 25 mins away - it's worth driving to Woodstock and having a look around some of the shops & cafes there before strolling through the palace grounds which are often wild and incredibly stunning.
- The bird song around the cottage is truly incredibly, my neighbour owns a huge plot of land just over the brook, which is kept natural and wild for the birds - and they clearly love it!
- The Bell at Langford - same pop up pub that Soho Farmhouse has on their premises. Nick Jones lives in Bampton and apparently loves this pub so much which is why he invited them to set up with him at Soho Farmhouse. They are famous for wood fire pizza
- There is a really cute brook just outside my front gate (which is locked so kids can't get out) which you can often see ducks bobbing along on, or cray fish on the banks.
