Bampton, located in the picturesque region of Oxfordshire, is home to the charming Sunnyside Cottage, a delightful retreat that sleeps four guests across two bedrooms. This quaint property is especially appealing to fans of the beloved TV series Downton Abbey, as it is situated in the heart of the show's filming location. The cottage invites families to explore the enchanting village of Bampton and the surrounding North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it an ideal base for both relaxation and adventure.
Upon entering the 200-year-old cottage, visitors are greeted by its original features, including exposed beams, low ceilings, and a cozy inglenook fireplace that creates a warm atmosphere. The sitting room provides a perfect setting for unwinding during chilly evenings, where guests can enjoy their favorite episodes of Downton Abbey while basking in the glow of the woodburning fire. The well-equipped kitchen includes modern amenities such as an Nespresso coffee machine, a dishwasher, and a spacious fridge/freezer, allowing for easy meal preparation. For those sunny days, the conservatory/diner offers a lovely space to enjoy meals while overlooking the garden.
The accommodation includes a comfortable king-size double bedroom on the ground floor, designed for a restful night’s sleep with thoughtful touches. A well-appointed bathroom with indulgent bath products completes the ground floor. Upstairs, another king-size double bedroom awaits, accompanied by a modern shower room featuring a walk-in shower and double sink. Guests can also access the rear garden from the conservatory, which is furnished with a table and chairs, providing an inviting spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation with a glass of wine.
For those seeking local entertainment, a variety of pubs and shops are just a five-minute walk away, offering a taste of village life. Families with younger guests will find nearby attractions such as Crocodiles of the World, Millets Falconry Centre, and Abbey Gardens particularly engaging. History enthusiasts can venture to Kelmscott Manor and Minster Lovell Hall and Dovecote, or explore the nearby city of Oxford. Sunnyside Cottage not only serves as a welcoming haven for family getaways in the Cotswolds but also emphasizes the importance of comfort, with the note that the living room's low ceiling may be a consideration for taller guests, and that children under 12 are not accepted at the property.
