Overview

Church End Cottage is a beautifully presented traditional English countryside cottage situated in the picture-perfect Cotswold village of Swerford, itself a short drive from the market town of Chipping Norton.

The cottage is chocolate box in every respect with oodles of character features throughout, a classic country vibe complemented by high quality fixtures and fittings - this cottage is your quintessential English cottage in every respect!

The cottage has a living room with all you need to relax including its own library, after a busy day exploring Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds and a wonderful snug with easy chairs and a wood burning stove. Upstairs are three gorgeous bedrooms all overlooking the village of Swerford and the surrounding countryside. Outside is a rear secluded garden garden with a well maintained lawn perfect for games in the summer months and to the front of the property there is a cute traditional cottage garden with seating . We adore this property, it is such a classic country gem!

The property is perfectly situated, just 4 miles from Chipping Norton, with further Cotswolds' towns of Burford and Stow on the Wold beyond. The ever popular destination of Soho Farmhouse is just 5 mins drive away, while Blenheim Palace and the city of Oxford are within a short drive.

Marie - Dec 2025 - Short Let Space

We stayed at Church Cottage for a week through Christmas period and it was truly magical. Hands down one of the best Christmases we’ve ever had, and that was largely thanks to the cottage itself. The space was warm, relaxing and incredibly homely – the cosy living room and little Christmas tree set the perfect festive scene. The kitchen was just right for us, and the whole place felt safe, beautiful and very peaceful. We loved the long walks around the area and how well located it was, with Soho Farmhouse and Daylesford very close by. It was the most wonderful short stay and we’re so grateful. We would absolutely love to return again next year.

Amanda - Dec 2025 - Short Let Space

Elicia - Oct 2025 - Booking.com

Cosy, clean and beautiful cottage! Super clean, beds were really comfy and rhe host left a lovely welcome hamper for us. We would highly recommend and stay again! Photos don’t do the cottage justice. It was a great location and so much space for a family of 4 adults and two children. We had a wonderful time!

Had a wonderful time at this stunning cottage so well designed and easy to cook and comfortable to relax in. I’d love to know the brand of tiles used. So gorgeous. Thank you

Anne-Marie - Jul 2025 - Air B&B

Absolutely lovely space!

Sian - Jul 2025 - Air B&B

This cottage was like something out of a Jane Austen novel. The house was very clean and there was a lovely welcome basket in the kitchen. The living room was stocked with hundreds of books. We played card games in the evenings. Swerford is a tiny sleepy village but fun to walk around. There is plenty of off-street parking (we had two cars, but I think we could have fitted three).

Christian - Jul 2025 - Air B&B

Lovely house!

Anne - May 2025 - Air B&B

We had a really lovely stay in this cottage ! Everything was as expected. The only thing is that the address is not correct on google, we had some trouble finding the place. All the rest was perfect. Thank youThank you for your kind review – we’re so pleased you had a lovely stay! We’ll review our check-in instructions to ensure everything is clear and accurate. We do include a what3words location in the check-in information to help make finding the cottage easier, but we’ll take another look to see if this can be improved. Thanks again for your feedback!

Sabine - May 2025 - Air B&B

Beautiful cottage, just what we had wished for and exactly as described on the website and seen in the pictures. Warm cosy and very well kept. Heating worked well. We are a family of 6 adults and all had enough space indoors to unwind and relax. Great location wonderful day trips (Blenheim Palace, Hidcote Gdn, Broughton Castle, Diddly Squat Farm, and many more. Lovely walks in the region too. Great upscale Pub 5 min by car (Boxing Hare) and many others in the region. The “short let stay” team was very helpful and contacted us proactively, if we needed anything. The only slight inconvenience was the fact that if both showers were used at the same time, water got scarce. Couldn’t have been happier with our stay.

Sarah - Apr 2025 - Air B&B

Great place to say, beautiful comfortable cottage in a great location

Benjamin - Mar 2025 - Booking.com

Beautiful charming cottage , a perfect place to explore the Cotswold from it was very quiet and peaceful

Verity - Mar 2025 - Booking.com
Dami - Mar 2025 - Air B&B

Lovely property in a picturesque and incredibly peaceful part of the Cotswolds. Short drive to nearby towns with ample walking routes. Despite its ample size, felt very cosy and kept heat well during the cold evenings. Whilst we’ve not marked it down, we were disappointed to not find a welcome pack with local produce or even some milk. A downside of short letting from a company rather than private individuals perhaps? Some information of the local amenities, takeaways, walks etc would also be helpful. The online guide focused on the workings of the house which was helpful, but could include information on the local area. Small things, but nothing to stop us from coming back!

Our Reply
Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed the property and its peaceful location. Our welcome packs are designed to provide just enough to get you started, but we appreciate your comments and are always looking for ways to improve. We'll also take on board your suggestions about adding more local information to our guide. We’d love to welcome you back again soon! Lindsay @ Short Let Space

Alice - Jan 2025 - Air B&B

Our family had a fantastic stay at this wonderful cottage. We loved how well decorated it was throughout, full of nice details and small touches.

Gerald - Aug 2024 - Air B&B

The cottage is absolutely divine. It is decorated with great taste and attention to details. It has all comforts and equipment’s one might need. The garden is a little slice of heaven. The location is idyllic – a tiny charming village close to the most beautiful places in the Cotswolds and a 20 minutes drive from everything ( walks, pubs, bookshops, grocery shops). The neighbours and the host were very helpful and reactive.

Michael - Aug 2024 - Air B&B

Beautiful, cosy cottage with everything you need to have a comfortable and relaxing stay. Lovely garden space at the front and back was perfect for the children.

The Cottage at Swerford is a dream. Beautifully furnished with everything we needed as a family with 3 children. It is idyllically situated in a small, historical place. It was the perfect place to discover the Cotswolds and to go to London every now and then. Communication with Short Let Space was very easy, pleasant and personable. We highly recommend both the Cottage and Short Let Space and would not hesitate to return!

Anonymous - Jun 2023 - Booking.com

everything, the house is perfect and it is ideal decorated. the garden is very nice. very good layout. very well equipped. I liked everything but it is worth knowing that Swerford is a very small town and that any message requires you to take the car

Scott - Apr 2023 - Air B&B

The cottage is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a family holiday (we have three small children). Nestled in a wonderfully peaceful and stunningly beautiful corner of the Cotswolds – it only ever seemed 30 minutes max from everywhere we wanted to go. Couldn’t recommend highly enough and we hope to be back soon.

Gerard - Apr 2023 - Air B&B

Spent three (very wet!) weeks here in March. Delightful cottage with very good amenities – the kitchen is especially well-equipped. Quiet and cozy in a perfectly bucolic setting. The only blemish was a central heating system that kept cutting out, leaving me at inconvenient times without heat or water when it was often very cold. The property manager was very responsive, however, and after failing to get it fixed the first time – despite her best efforts – quickly made sure it was repaired at the second attempt. All in all, a lovely and memorable stay in a beautiful place.

Oliver - Jan 2023 - Air B&B

Beautiful cottage, wonderfully well-equipped, in terrific location. Perfect for a winter break with roaring fire.

Kristina - Jan 2023 - Booking.com

It was the most wonderful day! Five stars!

Amazing Airbnb. Stunning cottage. Have come back twice now and will be back again.

Terence - Sep 2022 - Air B&B

Lovely house in a beautiful idyllic Cotswold village, with other fantastic villages all around. Beautiful place to stay in sunny mid September, both when sitting in the front garden and just as wonderful in front of the fire at night. Delighted that it was available for our group of 5 adults and would definitely stay again if we get the chance.

Alexandria - Sep 2022 - Air B&B

We absolutely loved our stay! Not only was it one of our favorite Air BnB’s, so adorable and the perfect location, the host was also so accommodating and kind. I can’t recommend this place enough! It felt like a fairytale. So cozy, clean, the beds were incredibly comfy, and the ground were gorgeous! They also had a lot of games for our kids 🙂 perfect family stay!

Cristina - Sep 2022 - Air B&B

Absolutely gorgeous Cotswolds home in a quiet village. We were traveling with our family of 6, 4 small children, 9, 6, 4, and 2, and they did not want to leave! Spectacular yard. Very close to Chipping Norton, Daylesford, everything seemed 20 beautiful minutes by car.
