This lovely little stone cottage was originally where a previous owner kept her pony and trap for transport in the 1880's. It has since been superbly converted into a delightful detached holiday cottage which is positioned on the edge of the owner's lawned garden and part of the old village school.

Stable Cottage is located in the village of Chadlington which is set on the northern slope of the Evenlode valley and just minutes away from the enchanting Wychwood forest. Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is a perfect base for exploring the many delights of the "undiscovered Cotswolds" as well as visiting the well known quintessential villages and towns of Stow on the Wold, Bibury and Bourton on the Water, for which the Cotswold's is renowned. The market towns of Witney, Burford and Chipping Norton are too within easy reach, as is Woodstock, home of Blenheim Palace and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
