Overview
The honey-hued Little Bee Cottage sits on a private lane in the pretty Cotswolds village of Milton-under-Wychwood, between Burford and Chipping Norton. Its village setting makes for an idyllic countryside escape, with plenty of great pubs, restaurants and Cotswolds hotspots within easy reach.
It comes as no surprise that this cosy two-bedroom bolthole has been renovated by two interior designers, with every detail carefully considered. Like what you see? All the artwork has been created by the owner herself, and is available to buy during your stay.
Living, Kitchen and Dining Areas
Step inside and discover the snug sitting room with its original exposed beams, log burner and miniature stained glass window. The kitchen is fully equipped, and we love the sage green panelled walls and chic farmhouse features. There’s a circular dining table for brunching and nights in, seating up to 4 people.
The Bedrooms & Bathroom
Upstairs, there are two stylish bedrooms – one with a King-size bed and one with a double bed – along with a family bathroom with a bathtub and overhead shower. The cosy, cabin-esque bedrooms are individually designed, each featuring their own unique decor and artwork. One is dressed with neutral, earthy tones, and finished with floral prints. The other has a more contemporary feel, with a bold royal blue headboard and peach throws from the Secret Linen Store.
Outside
Outside, a small gravelled, south-facing garden catches the sun, with a table and chairs for morning coffee or an afternoon G&T.
Dogs
One dog is welcome for an additional fee of £40. Kindly note that dogs are not allowed upstairs or on any of the furniture. A dog bed is also provided.
Welcome Hamper
A welcome hamper filled with local goodies will be waiting for you on arrival including milk, sweet treats, crisps and a bottle of wine.

The Surroundings
Milton-under-Wychwood dates back to mediaeval times and sits on the edge of the Evenlode valley. It’s one of three villages named after the ancient forest of Wychwood, alongside Shipton-under-Wychwood and Ascott-under-Wychwood.
This honey hued Cotswolds village is home to a top-notch gastropub, The Hare (located just around the corner), and a delicious local bakery where you can get your morning sourdough fix from. Here, you’re perfectly positioned for exploring lots of popular Cotswolds hotspots, including Daylesford Farmshop (a Sand & Stone favourite), Bourton-on-the-Water and for Soho House members, Soho Farmhouse is only a short 20 minute drive away.
Transport
The closest train stations are Shipton-under-Wychwood and Kingham. From Kingham there is a regular service to London and Oxford. It’s worth nothing that taxis are not always readily available and should be booked in advance where required.
Parking
There’s no private parking at the property but there’s plenty of street parking available in the village. Please note that the property sits on a private road where parking and offloading is not permitted.
