Overview
Ivy Cottage is perched in the pretty Cotswolds village of Long Compton, sitting on the border of Oxfordshire and Warwickshire. With two en-suite bedrooms, this is a great choice for two couples or small group of friends seeking a boutique retreat in the Cotswolds.
Ground Floor
A lovingly curated space that has maximised the cottage’s classic features. Beyond the quaint egg-shell blue front door, you’ll discover an inviting open-plan dining and farmhouse-style kitchen area to the left and a cosy living room with a log burner to the right.
First Floor
An open tread wooden staircase leads you upstairs to two elegant bedrooms. The Master bedroom has a super-king bed and a copper roll top bathtub in the room, as well as an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom has a king-size bed and en-suite shower room. Both are dressed with fresh white linens and vintage-style feature pieces, and have been designed with beautiful attention to detail, from the stylish cabin-like wooden panelling to the chic bedside reading lights.
Outside
The cottage garden is full of freshly planted booms and there’s an idyllic outdoor dining set up for four next door to a BBQ, perfect for alfresco dinners.
Dogs
This property is happy to accept one dog for a fee of £40 per dog. We kindly ask that your dog is never left unattended, and does not go on any of the furniture or upstairs.
Children
For those with wandering little ones, it’s worth noting that this property has an open tread staircase. This cottage is better suited to those families with older children or babes in arms
