Awesome quiet chalet, very homely and relaxed. Personal favourite feature is the orientation – super sunny and vibrant sunrises straight into the master bedroom. So refreshing to wake up to!

We stayed in the Bluebell Lodge in July and it was such a clean, rustic and beautiful place in the country! There was free wi-fi which was nice to have, along with an electric car charging station, if you needed it. From the awesome wine barrel sinks and the finishing touches in the décor ,to the little things like Laundry detergent (for the washer and dryer in the unit) , hand, bath & dish soap, coffee, tea, sugar, cream and even a few biscuits, made this a perfect place for a quiet end to our long trip through Europe. The balcony off the master bedroom is overlooking a beautiful green back area with horse paddocks in the distance and the patio were both nice to enjoy coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. The location is close to the Ridgeway National Trail for beautiful walks and the river Thames for great dining. We visited the Wandering Kitchen for a full English Breakfast and pastries, which was delicious and only a 10 minute drive. There’s lots of activities for kids too, with Oxford Wet n Wild Aqua Park, paddle boarding, kayaking and water-skiing. We visited Oxford, which was only a 30 minute drive . We also walked up to the Broadway tower atop the Cotswolds where we had coffee and a bite to eat at the Morris and Brown Café. It was a quaint little village with restaurants and little shops. Such a cute area! The owners are onsite and were very friendly and helpful with recommendations of places to eat and visit. I would highly recommend staying here! It was probably the nicest rental house that we’ve ever stayed in! Would love to return if we ever get another opportunity!
